Ranking Youtube vid in Google - Tier backlinks?

So I've been having succes ranking my Youtube vids into Google. For this I always buy a few fiverr gigs. One of those gigs consits of a 2 tier backlink pyramid, however, I always buy the extra gig so it creates a 3 tier backlink pyramid

It has been working for me, but maybe I am wasting money? Since its accepted that spammy backlinks work pretty good for youtube vids

From what i have read, its quantity not quality that's required to rank in Youtube search results.
To rank the video in google though, i think quality backlinks are required.
But if the competition is low/medium, buying good quality (high retention) views alone can rank the videos.

Why not split test it yourself? I'm not sure anyone here could give you an exact answer. It really depends on the competition for the keyword you're ranking for.

As beven said, you should split-test everything. You'll get the result yourself

Spam links used to work well before not effective anymore. I tried this service for my video couple of times for tier-1 and bought a few fiverr blast for these links. So far it seem to work well and I am still on page 1, it is a medium competition keyword though.
