Outranking videos

Hey guys,

So there is the following video which has managed to rank in top 3 for the keywords it's aiming for:


I've tested implementing similar title, tags and better thumbnail but my video doesn't show up in the first three pages.

I've bought plenty of aged accounts and tried multiple views services so far, but I am not able to get the same result at all. Analytics is showing that my traffic is mainly coming from suggested views and like ~2% from YT search.

The above-mentioned video was already ranked when it had ~180 views so I kind of keep doubting the issue is in the views, but perhaps in the account? The only thing I haven't tried so far is using a VPN/Proxy in order to upload.

Do you have any insight on what the issue might be?

In my experience with my 100% whitehat original content YT channel... 80% of traffic comes from suggested views. If youtube doesn't suggest your videos you are basically fucked. Having subscribers is not a big deal anymore as well. A small % of views come from subscribers.

So to make money exclusively from YT search you need to rank on extremely high CPM niches (to make a living from the small % of views...)
