Youtube Is Broken - The 10,000% Retention Youtube Algorithm Experiment
Ойындар
Hello youtube viewers and enjoyers and welcome to my wonderful experiment and investigation on the youtube algorithm in 2023! It all started with my slightly weird discovery that it was possible to create and upload an incredibly short short and then the impacts this would have on the algorithm, subscribers and views. As fun as learning how to get more views is what I really wanted to do was see what the limitations of creating an algorithmically perfect video might be! This lead to a discovery that is similar to my first youtube is broken video where we used the community tab to reach a much larger audience than youtube inteded! You can watch it here • The KZread Algorithm ... title: The KZread Algorithm Glitch (The Secret KZread Exploit) - KZread Is a Perfectly Balanced Website
What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

This is actually a really interesting demonstration of why we shouldn't make too many systems driven by AI. AI is ultimately just another algorithm with an optimization function that Spiffing Brit can break.

Not entirely sure about that. For a site like youtube to work you are going to need most of this stuff automated with algorithms. Yes people will find exploits like the Spiffing Brit but those can be patched. Apparently an old statistic is about 500 hours of footage is uploaded to youtube every single minute. That is literally impossible to sort or organize by humans.

Wait at 2:28 he says there was an average watch time of one minute and 7 seconds which is 67 seconds. Wouldn’t that mean a 6700% retention rate not 6070%?
At this point Brit is literally breaking youtube so it can evolve and grow stronger. Hats off to you.

A three-way Collab between Spiff, Doug, and RT
what's hilarious is that I actually thought of making a ridiculously short short but didn't because it seemed impractical, but this dood took it to a whole other level, a very spiffing level you might say.
I was wondering about that short you released, I just kept wondering "Is it ever going to load?" Well done.

I actually find these ones outside of games fascinating. Taking a deep look at how a system we all participate in works, and then exploiting that system with its own rules in a way any of us could've done. It's brilliant
Hahaha this is AWESOME!!! Excellent job! 💪🏻
It is remarkable to watch a man who is able to so masterfully deconstruct the algorithm, over and over
A modern way of doing QA is just calling Spiffing Brit and letting him do his thing
Prior to blank coming out every single short I watched would autoloop. A few days later and some shorts still do loop, but most have actually just stopped and you have to rewind them. I choose to believe Spiff had a hand in prompting that change.
Ur understanding of exploitation is facinating
This is absolutely artful and masterly
The Algorithm compels me. Also, thanks Spiff for being the QA we need but don't deserve.

Not even lying, that spiffco nation (tm) fit goes hard to an unwarranted degree.
I believe that you can help someone out with your experiments .. Ozgeographics seems to be having some difficulties with analytics manipulation by third parties.
I'm kinda curious how well this will actually work. The KZread algorithm is a neural network (see relevant 2016 paper about it) that is optimized to maximize a user's session length, so it seems plausible that community posts of your own content are not manually restricted, and that this restriction is just something the algorithm learned not to do in order to retain users. Knowing this, I wouldn't be surprised if this scheme either doesn't go as well as expected, or is quickly rendered unreproducible by too many people doing it, thus re-training the algorithm to select against it without the engineers at YT having to do a thing.
