I'm a bit late to the game but my gut instinct tells me this is a promising method. To understand it better, I went through the first post and reorganized it for easier digestion.
- Find popular niche or algo won’t recognize
- Always aim for browse feature views (do not try to seo)
- Post vid to a few subreddits relevant to content (gain 50-100 views from external) then stop & delete link.
Algo will boost a vid with 60 organic views plus 100 external AND 8% CTR.
Will NOT boost with 70 organic and 0 external view and 9% CTR.
With 200-300 organic + >10% CTR, algo will boost instantly
Note:
- Title is your best friend (thumbnail matters 30%). Make a confusing title that people must click on to satisfy themselves. Vid must be relevant to title (don’t SEO title).
- Example: Do you know this thing can kill you, This is the worst thing in my …
- Don’t go too long or it will appear as ……
- CTR is KING (higher priority over retention). Must always be above 15% for browse feature. 6% CTR vs 100% watchtime is worse than 15% CTGR vs 50% watchtime.
- Aim above 50% watchtime.
Engagement
- Not too serious, add funny moments
- Use your other channels and comment on your own video. Make it funny and answerable. People will upvote it and want to interact with that comment. This is key to having high engagement.
- LIMIT 1 Gmail per comment
- Limit 5 Gmails per IP
- Try to watch full video or at least 90% THEN ADD comment to trick algo into thinking comment is legit.
- 3 funny comments is enough for engagement
Algorithm
- YT will check your vid every hour, when requirement meet, it will boost your vid for 6 hrs equal to your current CTR then drop to 10% for 18 hours to test your video.
- If your vid can maintain CTR or go even higher, algo will boost again for another 6 hrs and repeat process.
- Vids that can maintain >15% CTR while boosting will have at least 100-400k views for entire boost, depending on your retention and put vid to test again for another boost.
Other
Buy a few reddit upvotes (for author, ten is enough), crowd effect will do the rest.

Only thing I don't understand is how to "aim for browse feature views"? Can you intentionally aim for browse feature views? How?
