Youtube NEED advise please!

Thank you for clicking in and check this post and read lol
Okay, serious my head is spinning atm, need some help!
So after lurking around in BHW few days, searching and reading here and there, I still can't find an answer, so here is my question :

I have a 10-year-old account 70 old gaming videos casually uploaded for fun over all these years ( a causal gamer )
Last year I decided to switch the content for unique pet care videos( because an A-hole scam my money selling me sick animals)
Well, wasn't entirely because of that, but friends told me should make videos about it and warn people, just happens to have a specialist friend who learn me lots of care stuff
Wasn't a nice niche for youtube I know but wasn't really thinking of making huge money, but ofc would be nice to get in monetize coz promoting channel isn't cheap.
Did buy views and sub and watch hour, and now the channel halfway to be able to apply, but then I saw people selling monetized channel!
My questions are:

A: Should I just buy a enable monetized channel and move those new pet videos to start over? (Those new videos only have 10 including Shorts)
B: Keep buying SMM and try to apply with my channel and if not get accept then buy an enabled one?

And yes, I did try all whitehat stuff, tag, keywords, titles, channel art, des, SEO etc...but didn't work for growing, just in case, someone tells me to try these to slowly grow
I saw some other similar channel with not much video but have over 100k sub and every video like 10 to 50k views, search their channel on socialblade and doesn't look very legit to me lol
That's why I use SMM for the last 2 weeks.

Any advice would be appreciated

Keep buying SMM and try to apply with my channel and if not get accept then buy an enabled one?

Is hard to say because you can't really gauge the quality of SMM views.

If you're using it to just get past the watch time markers, then they may be a quick way to get those watch hours.
But if you're using SMM in hopes that it will rank you, not all SMM views you buy can provide that for your channel.

A good way to judge would be to check how they send their views. Traffic source and referral info.

Referral info you mean the source from the external? I saw some from social media, some just leave their website name.

Thank you for your advice, and yes, I have been testing out serval services, some have " google ads on traffic but then the geo gives asian when I live in EU" then some " give suggestion traffic but leaving a website link to it " then some " give drip feed but you can't get google ads with geo at the same time, it just hard to find a good one with all the stuff combine, but some say GEO doesn't matter, and drip feed deliver time matter more? I don't know.
But since there is no " youtube search " you can buy, I guess will just maybe get 1000 for " suggestion view" and maybe another 1000 for " google ads" or target views?
The google ads always come with worldwide and the worldwide always from asian or middle east lol
If you buy EU or US then is bound to be target views, and is external, and the external source is going to leave a site link in the top external in analyst.

Well, tbh I dunno if any of these are matter, when I saw some people selling enable monetized channel only has 10 videos but a bunch of views and sub, sure is buy bots to get it to enable.
I think youtube just give it away mostly pass, and if your channel doesn't make a profit they demo it something like that don't know just guessing.

I just hope to use SMM and get the watch hours and monetize and get a kick start
In the end, I rely on people who will notice my work and gain organic sub and views.
So yes, you are right, I kinda hope to use SMM to boost 1 or 2 of the videos for a visible rank.

The metrics that matter vary depending on different parameters.

Also, if you're going to buy suggested views from a SMM provider, my suggestion would be to get a small order first and see if any of those views provide impressions. More than likely, they don't. And if that's the case, then you're basically just sending blanks to your channel.
Yes, it may buff up your video view plays, but will do nothing for your ranking. And if their methods aren't refined well and leave footprints, then that video you send views to can get shadowed too.

So you need to be careful. The best thing I can suggest would be to send 100-200 views to a tester video and see the analytics from those views. Then you can gauge whether it'll be worth to get more of the same type of view or not.

If you need more help in finding the best strategy to grow your channel, PM me and I can offer some other strats and methods that currently work right now.

But to the point you made, yes you can use SMM views to get through the threshold of monetization.
You just need to be careful you get the right type of views.

Go whitehat, if a niche dis not work, try others.
