1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,390
All right.

2
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:03,750
So this is a simple lecture and it's going to be very straightforward.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:11,280
Don't buy subs, don't buy views, and don't buy engagement in the form of comments like shares or whatever

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:11,610
it is.

5
00:00:12,090 --> 00:00:12,690
Don't do it.

6
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:13,060
OK.

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,840
Now, there's a number of reasons that you don't want to do this.

8
00:00:15,930 --> 00:00:20,130
Number one, being first and foremost, if for whatever reason, you even buy 10 subs or 100 hundred

9
00:00:20,130 --> 00:00:24,090
subs for whatever reason, and then you go about your life and you start ranking your channel and you

10
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:24,990
blow up eventually.

11
00:00:25,230 --> 00:00:28,920
And YouTube happens to see that you bought something like like subcounty in the future.

12
00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:31,800
When they go ahead and do their purge, your channel is at risk.

13
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,080
Pretty being deactivated were at risk for being D monetize because you have a history of purchasing

14
00:00:37,260 --> 00:00:39,540
or, you know, trying to game the system essentially.

15
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:41,100
I've heard of it happen to other people.

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,780
I've never seen it personally or anybody that I know of specifically, but it has been reported for

17
00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:46,170
happening.

18
00:00:46,170 --> 00:00:49,320
So don't risk your channel just to buy some subs.

19
00:00:49,740 --> 00:00:55,800
More importantly, even if let's assume that in a perfect world, you could go to a website and that

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,770
Web site was reputable and they weren't trying to scam you.

21
00:00:58,770 --> 00:01:03,030
They were they were actually legitimately going to deliver you quality subs were, you know, legitimate

22
00:01:03,030 --> 00:01:07,620
people and legitimate views that aren't bots and, you know, maybe potentially give you an engagement

23
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:07,920
as well.

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,280
Right.

25
00:01:08,850 --> 00:01:12,840
In a perfect world, even if you did that and you went ahead, you bought subs and you want to get ahead

26
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,160
and bought views, it's not going to do any good for your videos or your channel.

27
00:01:17,370 --> 00:01:23,340
And even if you buy subs, it's actually going to hurt your channel a lot more than if you did it by

28
00:01:23,340 --> 00:01:23,700
subs.

29
00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:30,120
And the next such a actually specifically talk about why subs don't matter, but to keep it simple without

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,810
getting too too much into that right now, it's going to hurt your metrics overall, because if you

31
00:01:33,810 --> 00:01:40,050
buy subs, they're not actually legitimate, targeted people that are interested in your content.

32
00:01:40,130 --> 00:01:40,450
Right.

33
00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:43,800
So now you have a bunch of dead subscribers that are on your sub count.

34
00:01:44,460 --> 00:01:48,960
What does the algorithm do when you create a video just like the Instagram algorithm, just like the

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,990
Facebook Avrin, just like any algorithm out there currently.

36
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:54,480
What YouTube does with their algorithm.

37
00:01:54,490 --> 00:01:54,710
Right.

38
00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:56,520
Let's say you have a thousand subscribers.

39
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:56,810
Right.

40
00:01:57,090 --> 00:02:00,140
And maybe, you know you well, like, let's just play with it.

41
00:02:00,330 --> 00:02:01,250
Play with this example or setting.

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,870
Let's say you have a thousand subscribers, right?

43
00:02:03,390 --> 00:02:04,890
Well, you create a video.

44
00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:06,320
You're under the impression that you're.

45
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,200
Get your video is going to be suggested in the feed of all thousand subscribers.

46
00:02:10,470 --> 00:02:12,090
But that's not how it works anymore.

47
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,540
That's not what YouTube does.

48
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:19,020
What YouTube does is nobody knows the specific actual number or percentage, but they might just suggest

49
00:02:19,020 --> 00:02:22,690
your video to 10 percent or 20 percent of those thousand subscribers.

50
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:22,890
Right.

51
00:02:22,910 --> 00:02:28,410
So maybe 100 people or 200 people of the people that generally interact with your your content more

52
00:02:28,410 --> 00:02:31,370
frequently will have shown a proponents to like that video in packs.

53
00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:31,530
Right.

54
00:02:31,550 --> 00:02:32,450
Or that type of niche.

55
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:36,450
So what they're going to do is they're going to show your content to maybe 10 to 20 percent of your

56
00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:37,110
subscribers.

57
00:02:37,380 --> 00:02:42,900
And based on that information, if your subscribers respond well and all your other algorithm factors

58
00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:47,010
and metrics are up there, then they're going to suggest it out through the rest of your audience.

59
00:02:47,070 --> 00:02:51,270
The rest of the thousand, as well as potentially outside your subscriber network.

60
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:51,600
Right.

61
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:53,400
That's how the algorithm works.

62
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,330
Two way videos.

63
00:02:54,690 --> 00:02:55,620
Small test.

64
00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:56,320
OK.

65
00:02:56,370 --> 00:02:57,270
Proved the test.

66
00:02:57,510 --> 00:02:58,650
Now you're getting all of them.

67
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,730
And then potentially outside here at your network.

68
00:03:00,750 --> 00:03:00,990
Right.

69
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:05,660
But if you buy subs, how does that affect the algorithm?

70
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:05,840
Right.

71
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,440
How does that affect your videos going forward?

72
00:03:07,470 --> 00:03:09,600
So now let's say you've a thousand subscribers.

73
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,780
You have six hundred of them are real and 400 for that.

74
00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:14,370
400 of them are purchased.

75
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,140
Well, what's going to happen?

76
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,210
Well, now there's a bigger chance that when your videos created and uploaded, YouTube is going to

77
00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:27,000
suggest it to a lot of the other people that are dead subscribers, as we like to call them, because

78
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,340
they're not really interested or targeted around your content.

79
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,220
So if they get suggested that video, they're not going to click it.

80
00:03:32,250 --> 00:03:33,570
That's going to kill your click the rate.

81
00:03:33,780 --> 00:03:34,740
They're not going to watch it.

82
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,030
That's going to kill your watch time.

83
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:40,380
And there's no audience from retention metrics if nobody's actually clicking on your video to actually

84
00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:40,770
watch it.

85
00:03:40,790 --> 00:03:41,070
Right.

86
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,680
So all and obviously your engagement's going down as well.

87
00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:47,880
So all your algorithm factors are riding on good quality people.

88
00:03:47,970 --> 00:03:49,660
YouTube is smart, right?

89
00:03:49,830 --> 00:03:51,660
That's why the all these factors are in place.

90
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,730
So the worst thing that you could possibly do is try to game the system by buying engagement.

91
00:03:57,270 --> 00:04:03,600
Buying views and buying subscribers, not only because you run the risk of deactivating or even monetizing

92
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,060
your channel in the future, but more importantly, it's actually going to hurt your channel a lot more

93
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:10,170
than it will help your channel.

94
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,450
So it might make you feel good in the in the short term, but in the long run, you're literally torpedoing

95
00:04:15,450 --> 00:04:16,050
your growth.

96
00:04:16,410 --> 00:04:21,120
And you're really putting handcuffs on your channel and you won't be able to grow as fast at all.

97
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,380
So keep that in mind.

98
00:04:22,410 --> 00:04:23,400
I'll say one last time.

99
00:04:23,820 --> 00:04:26,070
Don't buy anything, especially subs.

100
00:04:26,250 --> 00:04:30,530
But don't buy views, engagement in the form of likes or comments or anything like that either.
