Is there a way to re-train the algorithm to look at an older channel with lots of videos differently than before, or is a mountain of past algorithm history going to essentially lock me into whatever conclusion the algorithm has come to about my channel already?

Recently about a week ago I made a video that would mostly suit the algorithm for my audience, and it started booming, it got to 1k Views on 9 days and I’m only a small channel and I went from 23 Subscribers to 52 in 11 days!

Over the last few months KZread has deliberately not pushed my content. I'm sick of people telling me that my content is at fault. My 'style' may not be everyone's cup of tea, but since absolutely NONE of those people criticising me actually went and watched my content, how would they know my content sucks. In actual fact, my regular subscribers are telling me they are not getting notified that I'm posting, that KZread is un-subscibing them, and absolutely no-one can find my channel when searching for it. I've changed the things on my thumbnails I was originally criticised for, and yet all my older content is still doing so much better than my recent up-loads. A few videos back, one literally had less than 100 impressions for days, and most of those were probably from YT putting my own video on my own home page and suggestions. Another still has less than a 1000 out of millions in my niche. Perhaps if it went back to using the SEO we're all putting in to tell it exactly who to place our content with, instead of just throwing our content at random people as a wild guess, we'd all be doing so much better. After all, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm rather sick of my home page being filled of suggestions I have absolutely no interest in. Like the football and boxing YT spent the best part of last year trying to ram down my throat, despite the fact I hate both sports, and have never shown the slightest interest in either.

Hey, I read your comment and checked out your channel. I have over 300 subscribers with just 5 videos on a 6weeks old channel. I’m not perfect, but I’ve learned a few things that could help you. Your thumbnails definitely need improvement. I think maybe you’re not good with things like editing and such. I can advise you to find someone who can create your thumbnails and edit your videos. Also, please note there was no intro in your video to tell me what the video is about or what I will learn. However, your content is good and unique. Just work on the thumbnails, video editing, and a clear intro. It doesn’t have to be super good, just decent. Your current editing and thumbnails are not very inviting.

@@nelo737 Whilst I appreciate what you're saying, you may want to take note where I said I changed the things I was told I was getting wrong. Having an intro was one of them. Also, some of my best performing videos have the very worst thumbnails. I'm in the severe disability group, I don't have the finances to heat my home correctly, so I can't afford to pay someone to make thumbnails and edit for me. Unfortunately it just is what it is, and that shouldn't stop YT placing it in front of people in my niche.

@thenodiggardener I can understand this frustration. I have a short that has fewer than 20 impressions after several months, while my others have thousands! (I'm leaving it alone to see what happens lol.) I did check out your channel, and found that searching for "@thenodiggardener" finds you, but anything without the @ doesn't. It seems like "no dig gardener" is a common enough term that it's finding larger channels first. So it's a good name, but possibly working against a small channel. For your subs who aren't getting notified, you might remind them that the subscribe button now has a drop-down that lets you select "All" notifications instead of the default "Personalized". I think this was changed a few months back, but I'm not sure exactly when. I watched your recent potato video, too. The video was very informative, but you're right in saying that your style isn't for everyone. You sound knowledgeable, and the video sounds very conversational rather than scripted. That's good, but viewers (especially younger) may lose focus without a clear flow from start to finish. Showing the result up front and then showing the process to get there might help. Honestly, I think the packaging needs work. If you search for "grow potatoes in a bucket" or "grow potatoes on the patio", you'll see thumbnails with clear text, images featuring potatoes, or both. That's what you're competing with, so it's worth looking. I found it quite difficult to read the text on your thumbnails (even with the stroke that you added), and the potatoes are lost among the greenery. Maybe viewers in your niche don't care as much, but that's what stood out.

What I don't understand is how such a clearly sophisticated algorithm can seem so...dumb? I run a small channel for which the ideal demo is COMPLETELY obvious to me, a human. Yet the algo refuses to show the content to those people. It's so frustrating

@SparkY0

2 ай бұрын

Because the algorithm is based on old code, and probably is not actually all that sophisticated. It would be very, very hard to make a computer accurately subdivide 2 billion people into the literal infinite number of sub-niches that exist. But it's like 2004 era code to split people into wide ballparks based on basic demographics like location/time of day/age/ etc. and let audiences behave based on their own self-interest. Odds are the reality is somewhere in between, but leaning heavily toward the "Easy" way. An accurate recommendation likely costs more in computer time than they would make from the ad click. So they're going to try and get enough people a clickable-enough recommendation in the simplest way possible, by putting them into the smallest number of buckets possible. A user profile probably a bit more complicated that "a [gender] person of [age] years old located in [city] who usually watches [music] and [education] videos and engages with [artist] and [company] and [some other common keywords]" ... but not much. Go start a KZread ad campaign and look at how specifically you can target the ad. The video recommendation demographics are likely very close to that, if not identical. If KZread was able to target a video in an extremely specific way, then they would be letting companies pay them to do this as well. And companies can target ads pretty specifically... but in reasonable ways. I guess you can download all your user data from Google. Maybe there's a way to check the real, specific demographics KZread attaches to you as a user. That's the recommendations algorithm, there's also the search algorithm. There's more than one algorithm. Search is much more focused on keywords and phrases tagging the video itself. What's really frustrating, is that as a creator you still have little to no control or even visibility into what keywords get associated with your video in the first place -as tags do nearly nothing. It's clear the video transcript is a much bigger priority than the description - and keywords overall seem to matter less and less when the video gets big enough. What people overlook though, is comments. I think the content of comments are a very significant factor in how YT search figures out what the video is about. I'm seeing better long-term recommendations from videos with a few good/relevant comments/questions than videos that got a higher number of generic "Good video" comments. Bu then again, I have very little respect for the algorithm, and the people YT brings out to do PR about the algorithm seem to describe things in a counter intuitive way, with no proof why they think the end results should be outputting roughly the exact opposite outcome that small channels are experiencing. I think the real reason that niching down works I think is far more boring: First, audiences like what they like, and need consistency. Second, a smaller niche means less competing videos (especially from big players who will absolutely crush you). Or it could all be an illusion. Humans are excellent at making up patterns where none exist.

@zsofiajager9152

You need a video idea what is about a problem, and people write this problem in youtube search bar. Than you need a thumbnail what makes people curius, when they look at it, ? appears in ther head. Then the tite is comleating your thumbnail and in your video hook you should answer one question about your thumbnail

Unlocking the mysteries of the KZread algorithm feels like cracking a code. These tips are gold for content creators.

Thanks a lot for the helpful information. You are the only person I really feel like is worth listening to! Only been at it for a few months and its been ok so far! I know my stuff is not the highest quality but I'm learning and improving with every week. Although after watching the video I'm considering my niche is still too broad.. Might have to think about changing that. I'm also going to try and increase the length of my videos I think they might be a little bit too short.

The secret is to keep going. The secret to this job is not to give up. If you somehow keep doing what you're doing, you can never fail. Thank you for your videos

I find it wild that our platform/channel The Ash Tyrant’s Mythos just started making Minecraft videos consistently about a couple weeks ago and not only was this recommended to me, but you just so happened to make this video with probably exactly the kind of information we need using Minecraft as the specific example 😂 Wow…

Im curious your thoughts...I get about a million views a month, 88% from shorts and 12% from longform. The thing is...its the same. I edit my videos in a way where its almost soundbite by soundbite, so each soundbite becomes a reel and the longform lives just as that. I.e., two ways to share the same exact content to two separate audiences. But im concerned that my shorts might be preventing my longform videos from reaching full potential. Should I turn my current channel into reels only and then start a fresh channel with just my longform videos? The quality of what im doing and focus is 500% more than when I started. Id be intersted to hear your thoughts. 😊

Very helpful❤ needed this because i wanted to start a channel on games and was deciding how to execute my channel and this is perfect for me to know how to start because now i need to decide a game for a channel

New subscriber here- thanks for breaking it down for people who wants to grow their channel. My videos got pushed out recently after being stuck for months, posting youtube content is like riding a roller coaster !

5:00 is the best advice ever stated in a video, look at me, I have 15k+ subscribers, and I lost my channels momentum because I switched niches. Truth be told I don't know if I can recover on this channel but I'll make another as per Marc's advice. Thank you Marcus for making this easy to understand with visuals and good scripting

Thank You For Sharing these info! Really Appreciate it

Thanks. Very good video. You highlight a real problem with KZread. I have a channel focusing on international politics. I deal with different topics each week. Sometimes, it could be Ukraine, at other times Africa, sometimes SE Asia, etc. The problem is that while a small core of my audience will be interested in all the topics I cover, a video on Ukraine won’t appeal to my viewers who like my stuff on West Africa. KZread isn’t very good at differentiating. Often it will test a new video on Nigeria on my audience, but only a part of them will be interested in Nigeria. If the CTR is poor then it won’t push it more widely. A good video can be held back because YT makes an immediate decision on how it’s received by regular viewers who might not be the best audience. YT is good for the super specialist creators. It really does take a lot of work to succeed if you aren’t so narrowly focused. It is certainly possible, but I do think it is a lot harder.

This was so helpful. My channel blew up this month (meaning like 3k subs to almost 11k as I’m writing this) and this video helped me come to terms with the content that will appeal to my audience. I made so many videos private to make sure the theme is a lot more focused. Thanks again 🎉🎉🎉

I think this is one of the most honest videos I have seen about this topic. The changes especially in the last year drive avg videos and great packaging more than ever. The problem is, what the audience defines as great packaging - which is where clickbait lurks around the corner again. Especially for me, who wants to keep doing "my style" and authentic stuff, it throws me off that my most successful videos are a) very random and follow none of these patterns (doh) and b) those I don´t really like because they were kinda low effort. One could think, ok cool, do more low effort and package them well. Thats also not hows working cause people will notice lol. Its a very very hard thing for medium sized channels atm just because you don´t want to lose youre identity, still want to explore new things and yet keep the fun. But YT drives me into doing more of the same to keep a minimum momentum at least. Checking the comments here also confirms the feeling, that many people feel the same way. Good content is not really rewarded anymore by default because youtube hits the fast money button to compete with tiktok. Still, there are ways to crack it, but at what cost.

Not exactly secrets but a nice way to put it together. Great one Marcus! 😊

Yep, It also happened to me I just randomly woke up one day and a video I made a month ago that I never expected to do well is at 270k views

Probably reach out to other creators in your new niche to do a collab. You do a fun video that's published on their channel, featuring you, and they do a fun one that's published on your channel, featuring them. Their viewers may then check out your older vids in that niche. This sudden influx of viewership could cause the algorithm to think this video is doing well with these kinds of viewers, which will then push your next video to those viewers, too. That's all conjecture, and I have no experience in this field, but it's just an idea that might help! Other than that, maybe advertise your videos in groups that follow that demographic to drive up traffic.

I love your content and it has helped me so much keep it up🙏🎉

I learned from this channel, thanks ❤

Thank you! ☺

so lets say i had a channel where i performed song covers from different bands. presumably people are clicking (at least initially) because they like the band or the song, rather than because they like my singing. so should i therefore ONLY be creating covers from ONE band on my channel? and if I want to cover a different band's song then I create a new channel for covering that band?

Very insightful. This will help!

Thanks for the info I'm just a tiny youtuber that makes gaming videos for a mech game I'll be getting a gaming PC soon with a mic and camera and try to engage with my audience with live streams etc but I think the hardest part would be the engagement as I've never done it and my confidence isn't very good but i will try. 😂

I have noticed a change since 2024 - in the past I’ve always gone with “best for viewer” because it historically seemed to send people to the person’s channel. Now it seems to send them anywhere. I’ve noticed this while even watching big creators (of course not knowing for certain of the rec at the end was the best-for-viewer or something that person hand picked from another creator; seems unlikely that would be the case though). I mention this here because it would be in line with YT still trying to emulate tt.

Quality knowledgable content. This shit like a goldmine fr

the most important thing is to arouse the interest of the viewers and then keep it until the end of the video.

I figured out KZread promotes my videos to people named Franklin who's birthday is October 15th and they were born before noon, in a rural hospital with less than 6 parking spots for ambulances. After figuring this out, I adjusted my videos and I'm happy to report I'm getting almost 200 views. Not bad.... tHanks for the fun video!
