youtube mother/child views from comments case study

I hope with this thread I can test it for myself and answer once and for all if youtube commenting is still working for getting views and traffic.
Recently I have started growing a youtube channel
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/make-money-online-youtube-channel-journey-to-10k-subs.1372847/And for one of the methods to get views for my videos I want to use "youtube mass commenting" using child accounts.

As far as I understood there are 3 ways to get views using child accounts:
1) link in the comment (Looks complicated to avoid filters and highly under bans)
2) hashtag (easier than link however still easy to get filtered if spamming too often)
3) regular comment + telegram/WA domain name in the NAME of the channel (this one looks promising to me as the limits are much higher with this method)
and as an extra, I want to add a "featured playlist/channel" on the child accounts home page. The idea is simple. It appears to be possible to link from one channel's home page to another. So when you click on the child accounts featured home page playlist you get redirected to the mother account (the problem is so far I was not able to find any of my playlist from my child accounts).

I am going to use child accounts to post under recently uploaded videos (one hour) in the "make money" niche. I am going to add my website domain name into the child accounts names + link to my main account from the child accounts home pages (currently child accounts have 1 video uploaded and featured, the link to the mother account is in that video description. This may at least work to see if anyone is even viewing the child accounts. However, in the future, of course, I have to link via the featured playlist.)

I am going to use a semi-automated way to post comments via child accounts. I have developed a very custom solution that combines VA + bots.

I will keep this thread updated with all the numbers and examples. I may link to the accounts that I am using, comments that I am posting, the number of views I am getting, and any other available information.

As a small bonus for this starter post, I want to add a link to a video of a guy who seems to be using this exact method (I noticed him commenting on the same videos that I do comment on myself.)
Here is the main video he is linking to
https://www.you tube.com/watch?v=m9wcmz1zJqo
the guy is getting about 100 views per day. I don't know if that's the maximum I can hit using this method.
As far as I heard upvoting does not rank comments anymore so the only way to go is to comment videos right after they are uploaded

ah, finally. I was just able to rank and add my playlist from the mother account on the child account.

yes. I have a special bot that checks each comment from a different VPS, different IP etc

~30% of what I post get ghosted so far. I believe such a small percent is because I don't post links or hashtags. When I tried hashtag the ghost percent went much higher at a certain point. I will report more info soon. If someone wanna check my comments, ghosted or not, you are welcome

Are you using freshly created accounts are are these accounts aged?

I would like to check your comments. I was thinking of doing something like this myself but my comments get ghosted (I don't use links or hastags).

How many accounts are you using?

How many comments per hour? - this one might be a major metric to track for each approach, for example: 2 link comments per hour (not ghosted), 3 (ghosted), etc

10+ accounts. I don't post links or hashtags in the comments. CTA in the channel name + featured channel/video on the child channel home page. No more than 50 comments per hour. Today I noticed that youtube allows me to post about ~ 100 comments per channel per day, if I don't more they become ghosted more.

Fresh accounts, however, I use real devices.

You are welcome to the PM bro. I will show you everything.

What I've noticed + heard from relevant sources (you can look it up on YouTube) is that bot protection is using all available data from Google account (where applicable). So basically everything Google is allowed to gather from a Google account they will use in their bot detection process (it's a lot of data). For example, you can't get business emails from YT accounts if you are not logged in with G account, if you log in and do a lot of emails reveals they will restrict you based on G account (and IP).

What I'm trying to say: it might be wise to spread out your activity (do other stuff in your active session, don't just browse YT and comment) in order to prevent/lessen ghosting.

what language do you use for your comment bot? is it browser automation or just post requests?

What results did you get from 700 comments?

I developed my own system. Its browser automation + real devices + VA's + some extra.

Currently, I am doing 100-500 comments per day. With an average of 250. About 70% do not get ghosted according to my verifying scripts.
Despite that now I have started seeing some traffic coming I can't really call it any significant traffic. Bellow 100 views for my video per day.
However
1) I need to do better research on what videos to comment on. At the moment adjusting the system to scrape recently uploaded videos every hour => filter based on subs count => update the target "to comment" list.
2) Again had some problems with featuring the playlist from the mother channel on my child channels. It randomly gets ranked and unranked. It's probably because I deleted all videos except 1 from the playlist that was ranked and I got unranked.

Thanks to @karupoiss I got some hints on which direction to dig.

Will keep the updates going

PS
I think I should add here that, YET, I did not do a single move towards ranking the comments.

keep doing it. you'll get clicks <3

Following! Let's see how this goes. Are your videos cpa or the sole purpose is to increase views and subs?

Old strategy on a revival.
Let's see how it goes op.
Wish you luck in your journey.

Seems like a solid plan! Good luck

How is it going @kelturon?

Overall I did 8k comments that were not ghosted under different videos. My costs were about 0.01$ per comment at the active stage. To be honest I did not notice much traffic coming. However, I think that Might be due to the fact that I was linking from the child accounts to the mother account in an awkward way. It should be done via "home page featured playlist" but I was linking via an uploaded video description. I think that might cause 90% drop in traffic. Currently working on bringing the costs per comment down a bit, finally linking through the featured playlist.
More importantly, I think it might not be enough just to comment, since I was not ranking the comment anyhow. If not ranking the comment it might be a better tactic to reply to the comments. Since the commenters themselves are a pretty targeted audience and it is easy to find videos with lots of comments
