      It's not as hard as you'd think, it's just most people would have no idea what to do. There are lots of ways to exploit the algorithm to get the most out of it, as long as your content is also something people would want to watch.
      The spiffing brit made a video recently showing how he literally edged the premier system to get 20k live viewers on a stream when he averages 1k most other streams
      th-cam.com/video/2YeeQWitHx8/w-d-xo.html

      @@wildenboy_ some people get lucky with the alg, other’s don’t. Most don’t. A lot of channels that have 3-10k ish subs and only 1 or 2 videos are bought or repurposed, so they have all their older videos removed. I guess there’s also bots in some cases. Actually getting that many subs from one video is rare and hard even for channels with 50000+ subs. Very few channels get that lucky, and that includes few of channels that have good quality work.

      I disagree. While it is quite difficult and requires maybe some luck, there is plenty of skill in making good videos and doing well on TH-cam. I was purposely trying to stay under the radar, but with good editing, thumbnails and titles, it won't take that long to be recognized :)

      At 3:26 the person in the video mentions that the channel has 9 subscribers. So it’s safe to assume that after the experiment, he took the photos that we see in the beginning, which explains why the channel has a higher sub count in the video.
