    I ran an ad on a previous video before the promotion beta. I though the same, the algo would not pick up the video after being promoted. Wrong. The video got some views and even appears on google search. Maybe because it's a "how to" vid. Also the retention started to recover

  • @adrianotozzi9904
    @adrianotozzi9904 Жыл бұрын

    Thank you for the video! As for myself, got around 1200 views and approx. 200 new subs from mine but the overall retention rate of the video went down by a lot (and I get why, a lot of people click out from the promo). But it did make me wonder if regardless of the new subs this might actually damage the video in the long run and how much YT pushes it. Because the retention rate on my video was around 65% but since the promotion it went down to 30% with an average of 15% (during the promotion). I doubt YT will be pushing the video from now on... Also, while I did get these 200 new subs very few of them actually "liked" the video or interacted with the channel afterwards by watching other videos.. anyone else experienced this? Cheers

    Honestly, I think this will destroy your channel. Those subscribers were forced to watch your video through ad. And so they don't watch your other videos. However, we have to undeestand that it is in beta. What youtube is trying to do is a business concept. A creator build his youtube channel with good videos. Build a good channel, got monetized. And he invest 50 usd, and in a month he gets back 100-200 usd. KZread is trying to push a business concept here. You invest and get profit. If it really works, this feature will be a great life changing for creators.

    The concept of buying impression for a KZread channel to get views for videos without specific goals and limits is dangerous. I don’t believe that buying views wholesale makes any financial sense whatsoever. That being said, if a creator can craft an advertising campaign using this method with a specific purpose to gain either subscribers or affiliate clicks then these become “qualified results”.

    Do NOT put money into this! Most channels will get 1 subscriber per 100 to 200 natural views. Check for yourself on your favorite creators out to verify this by dividing their total views on the about page by their subscribers. Next, this video is claiming 1 sub per 10 views!? Or a rare of $1 per sub. That makes zero sense. Think about it. YT is already showing your videos to people that like your type of content. The ads are no different! If you are getting 1 sub per 150 views naturally the ads can not do any better!? There is no way for them to do better. Think about it… the ads can’t make a user click. And most people are less inclined to sub off an ad than organically finding and genuinely liking your video. This is a total scam.
