need some analysis on this channel, 300K views first video after 2 weeks?

For some reason people believe that there are two options for a video to explode like this - the YouTube algorithm and fake views. You're forgetting the option of having an external traffic source (like large social media accounts or a popular website) and driving real traffic to the video that way. Maybe somebody with an existing audience is testing whether YouTube content will get traction for them or somebody on the team is trying out a side-project. I would not be surprised if the YouTube algorithm actually "likes" content like that as it's driving real external traffic to their platform if (and that's not a small if) they can differentiate it from bot traffic.

yeah external source or coming from another big channel could be possible, although i cant find it.....ive searched possible sources from where the video is posted, its not on reddit, not on pinterest, not on facebook, not on twitter, just.....nothing....

I see plenty of small channels getting 40k views per video. They claim to get those views thanks to editing. Although I believe many pay for ads.

update with the channel: HOLY HELL, THAT CHANNEL HAS 500K views now this is certainly NOT natural damn.....

sadly mine stopped at 5k, im not getting as big growth as his

certainly not natural? why not?

the audience for that type of content and ''that side of youtube'' is large.

They show videos like these even in schools in science classes.

It simply got pushed into the recommended sidebar and blew up.

It's on 700k views btw

Yes. Nowadays schools show lots of educational and activity videos from videos available on youtube.

The video is about to reach 1 million

You still doing the automation thing or quit?

You can see the high CTR from the last screenshot. These could very well be organic views. There are a lot of comments on the video, which would not be the case if the views were spoofed

i quitted on the niche, i was able to contact the author of the channel and yes, it is not natural, they used an SMM youtube panel service that gives high CTR and high retention audience that is delivered right after the video was uploaded

this tricks the youtube algorithm into pushing the video more into people's recommendations

The graphics are dope!

I reached that by myself too. Made a YouTube Channel and edited a sigma/Bodybuilding Video and uploaded it. 3 days After i had 250.000 views and After a week 500.000k views, 23.000 Likes and few thousand of comments. All real, After that i put another video on which also Performed very well with about 30.000 views After few days and the third one with again 200.000 views. I don’t know why I am that stupid but I stopped uploading because I thought all the time for editing is Not worth it because i couldnt monetize it anyways and i put much effort and time in these vids, but still not my own content. I made another try on that Channel After 2 months but didnt get more than 500-1.000 fews per Video. YouTube punished the Channel for not uploading anymore.

is this long form content or yt shorts?

Normal Videos, no Shorts, but just 2-3 minute Videos

It could be 100% organic due luck, the video hits at the right audience at the right time and it just keeps getting recommended. I have videos with millions of views in a demonetized channel, since YT does not tell which videos demonetize a channel and I don't want to remove the videos, I left them there, since I spent a lot of time and people still like them. The channel is abandoned and still picks millions of views. It was 100% organic, paying for SMMs is a waste of time. Also login in with proxies just adds more variables and chances you end up login in with a flagged IP and you never know if that is negatively impacting performance.

This guy probably had a massive lucky strike, one hit wonder since his second video doesn't pick up views.

Don't get it twisted: The most important factor is luck. You can have great content, and not be lucky. There is just too many videos out there. YT profits from this luck factor, so everyone tries to make content, they profit since the very second you upload a video since you bring them traffic for free on their website, so all this people hoping for the pipedream of making a living on YT keep uploading videos, and few of them will make any amount or relevant money. The SMM sellers are just selling crack. Botted views are trash. While Google is trash with their AI randomly striking and demonetizing, im pretty sure fake views are easy for them to spot. Similarly, people selling courses on "how to make money on YT" and "exclusive information" and whatnot are also profiting from this.

That video doesn't seem like AI to me, it looks hand drawn in paint for sure though, but 2D animation isn't as easy as it looks to make. That video took that person probably days to make

It takes the AI about 2 seconds to create one scene of this video.
