Video #1: Yes. Bought 20k views and 500 likes first day and now sitting on 1.8M views. Ranked #1 for 10 months. Current ranking is #16.
Video #2: Nope. Product of 301 method, now sitting on 17M views. Ranked #2 for 2 years. Current ranking is #15.
Video #4: Yes. Bought 50k retention views and 5,000 likes, now sitting on 6M views. Ranked #2 for 7 months. Current ranking is #8.
Video #4: Nope. Though I bought 500 likes. Ranked #4 for 2 months, now it's gone!

Strangely enough, some videos that are old and not even on the first page is now ranking well.

It all started to happen this month!

I uploaded around 50 set & forget videos in the last months and only 1 video ranked..
This is pure luck..
That video is in 1 position and earns about $100+/day...

After that I tried ranking my videos with hr views (50k) and likes..
This never worked..


Yesterday i tried a trick(something like unlisted method) and it ranked instantly...
After ranked the video only received organic views...
It only lasted a few hours and I earned $13...

Today the traffic almost completly stopped and the video disappeared from search results...
This is yt dance or the video is already dead?
Next time how can I keep my video in the front page...?
