Upvoted comments not moving to top comments

Purchased some comment likes from real people,

My comments got hundreds of likes, yet the comments are nowhere to be found near the top except if you sort by newest.

Is this a common thing & how would you avoid this?

Need the comments to be upvoted to the top!

Edit:
Is it maybe because I shared the URL directly and they didn't 'search' for the video in order to get to my comments? And because they sorted by new when upvoting the comment? Both of which are not 'real' user behaviour?

probably that url thing u said. yt is very smart bro. u have to play smart

Try to add comment replies to your comment

Yes, i agree with you, get more replies and likes, make it more engagement. I will try this way, hope work

its because of quality of your account to post comments ...
I have tried yt comment method, its easy to rank comment on the first place, but its will be gone because someone will report or give dislike to that comment
