no, THIS is how the YouTube algorithm works in 2024

This is how the KZbin algorithm works in 2024. It's how the algorithm finds which videos to recommend, how your videos go viral, how to increase your chances of going viral, and why some channels just won't ever get many views.

Thank you for making a video that is calm, to the point, and informative, rather than creating an unnecessarily overly edited, overly stimulating attempt to maintain retention.

[@Dr.X_]

Great delivered, without clickbait and empty information. Thanks for the info!

[@Turkey_b0i]

looks like you're the small creator that took up that one slot in my recommendations. well done!

[@CreatorCEO]

Let’s go

[@KazimirQ7G]

Agreed. Same for me

[@PresidentofAi]

you will definately grow, dont forget me....... i am your 780th subscriber

[@ImprovePosturewithHilda]

Thank you for being so “bullet point”. Nothing to scare us small channels into feeling we are doing all things wrong. 😂 and we must sign up for the course or else …

[@Bullrun1000]

Add an end screen for them to click on another video. the one thing KZbin likes more than somebody watching a video is them watching the next one!

[@CreatorCEO]

I also recommend this and do it with a call-to-action in every other upload on the channel. Just testing a few different things with this video!

[@draganeskooldeejay]

Yeah, very interesting for us, the small channels! Thanks for advices!

Thank you for making a video that is calm

[@naavi99]

Exactly what I was looking for , thank you so much brother ❤🎉

[@jwalkerC21]

I want to know how to adjust my algorithm, KZbin pushes the new but starts leaving off the ones I always want to see that I've been watching. we should be able to prioritize our subscription list.

[@CreatorCEO]

You can click the 'Subscriptions' tab or use this URL kzbin.infosubscriptions

[@tube-master]

I like the way you did the breakdown of the audience! I subscribed!

[@guitar.forbeginners.withdave]

Thanks for this. Very informative and I absolutely loved the simple explanation of the word "metadata". I've heard that bandied around a lot and never really understood it. Cheers mate.

[@loneoaksurvival]

Good sir, thank you I wrote down quite a few notes.

[@OBINOCIOUS]

This is lovely. How can I manage my channel to get more subscribers since mine is based on general types of skill learning

[@michaelwisniewski6047]

This is very professional. Thanks for filling that small channel slot today and all the best!

[@MartinKPettersson]

Best video I've seen about how the algorithm works. Really helpful information in here. Thank you!

[@CreatorCEO]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful

[@invega2]

Good video. Your video wasnt like other braindead videos who just trying to keep your attention with dumb stuff, i understand that they need to grab viewers attention so their videos can be reccomended more. But mostly videos that arent grabbing attention is most likely will be better off.

[@FlowCreators]

Hey I've got a question for ya. This channel I'm using used to be my gaming themed channel back in like 2016, I stopped posting for a long time. Would you suggest starting with a new or fresh channel If I wanted to focus more on content about Personal Development and Productivity for creators? I'm building a community called "Flow Creators" that is like directly associated kinda like the other half of my personal brand and I'm not sure if I should just switch up this channel or use a different one. Or for that matter go all in on Branding the channel as "Flow Creators" as the name or using my Personal Name for the channel name. At the moment, I have channels with both names, but I am not sure which to start posting on again. (The Flow Creators one used to be a small creative tutorials channel with like 100-200 subs) From your recent experience with the algorithm overlords, what would you suggest?

[@CreatorCEO]

New channel

[@TutorialsStreamingGaming]

You did catch my attention. Thank u for this quality content, u helped me out. Very good presentation! Liked + Subscribed.

[@UnknownCreator-fc4qq]

[@Elrinell]

Thank you for this video !! Straight to the point, clear explanation and visuals. Your hard work is appreciated 👍

[@ZeroNero007]

[@Johnny_L1]

Thank you. This was really helpful.

[@thewastelandarchitect76]

Great explanation. Thank you:)

[@readonemohamed8310]

the last line: It doesn't all come down titles, thumbnails etc. Yep there is also something I call channel authority. Even if you have the best video KZbin will be very reluctant to give you the views. The more views you are asking for, or in other words, the higher the loan the more reputation KZbin want to see in return to back it up. So you need to have a history of success. And that type of trust can go up and down. You can easily lose it with a few bad videos. But it's hard to build up again.

[@TechCyber276]

👍👍

[@PipsUniversity577]

great video sir

[@bowarold]

Is there specific reasoning behind why there's no background music/sfx?

[@CreatorCEO]

Testing stuff :)

[@bowarold]

im sure youre trying to make the video feel more authentic/personable, but imo it made the video more difficult to continue watching, because its just a constant tone, no switch up in pacing.@@CreatorCEO

[@AllyangChakma]

Should I continue in my old channel almost 500 subscribers or should I create a new channel?

[@CreatorCEO]

Continue if the content/audience is relevant. If new topic or the audience dgaf about you then new channel

[@khairorisalla]

Wow my friend very good video keep it up

YT Algorithm is ridden by AI technology ;) thats a real truth ... nobody knows how it really works!... there will be always depend on ,,LUCK,, or AI choose!

[@GiggaVega]

The algorithm is according to what you said & it is how I see it based on all my chats with partner support: The algorithm will sometimes choose to digest the video to people it knows will watch it but it to suggest it to non (what ever your channel focuses on) Then it will suggest it to even more & more people that are not at all interested in the content until it reaches 0% It’s designed to kill growth by the 2nd or 3rd day. Often it will see that a video got 1000s of views & many people are coming to your channel for that topic. You then upload another video on that topic & it will literally not suggest the video for 2-3 days, then all of a sudden it rip suggest it to non interested viewers. It is a terrible system that kills small channels. I know dozens of KZbinrs that all have this problem. I know them personally & we discuss these things. I have a friend that has videos with almost 90k views but he only has 600 subs. It’s disgusting. All our subscribers should get our videos suggested to them. But KZbin refuses to go back to that “Unfair” system lol 😂

[@allanrjackson]

I should add, You are the reason I jumped from 650 subs to 100k in 2 months. Thank you.

[@Chappers_Wild]

When growing a channel, the biggest (and most vaguely described) thing you'll hear about is 'the algorithm'. This video brought a lot of clarity on the topic that I definitely needed, thank you!

[@hamilton_reacts]

I am here being a Witness of your Success journey...

[@allanrjackson]

Help me!

[@allanrjackson]

I should add - if you find it funnish?

[@nakinogasai]

But what about these random 10 secondes videos with millions of views that makes no sense and is not related to what you usually watch ? And everyone in the comments are like "why the hell youtube recommended me that?" I really think this algorithm is bad. It's recommending me the same videos over and over again even if I absolutly don't care about them and I can't find new creators that I might like. Plus, it is pushing people to obey the algorithm and create the same type of videos so it has a chance to work, killing the creativity. I recently drowned in these famous "100 days hardcore Minecraft" videos with all the same thumbnail and the same exact boring content, yet having millions of views. I miss diversity and creativity, I miss finding little creators that dare making new type of videos.

[@briansshortstories]

This is the BEST explanation I've ever seen on this topic.

[@beatbuildersstudio]

Hopefully the high amount of views on this video doesn't hurt your channel. It seems like smaller channels are getting noticed but how do they maintain momentum? Will you be able to another video like this one? It's not a knock in your channel I just hope you feel even more pressure to repeat the success of this video thus falling into the creator trap

[@CreatorCEO]

I don’t have any plans to upload another video at this time - no trap here

[@droidio3244]

Thanks for the advice. The way you talk about it made me think that you have other you tube channels, do you?

[@MidwestFarmToys]

My impressions all basically went to zero overnight. Every video. All at the same time. I don't get it

[@Henry_Okooboh]

Same thing here, but why?

[@MidwestFarmToys]

@@Henry_Okooboh no idea. For me I think it's because my content is very niche and small audience and KZbin isn't pushing it. Your content seems to be a bigger audience and Your thumbnails are way better than mine too so who know

[@Henry_Okooboh]

@@MidwestFarmToys hmmm I guess KZbin is testing something on the channel and after they are done probably the impression will increase again. Thanks 🌹🙏

[@KamalNehme]

Love this video, you explained it super well! I still face the inconsistent results in views between videos and trying to figure out the common thing between higher performing videos so i can consistently delivery on that promise and build a strong core audience

[@COUNTRYHOLDER]

My KZbin channel is freeze please any suggestions 🥺

[@CreatorCEO]

Make videos people are interested in

[@melodicrap8626]

Your ai generated clips aren’t that engaging to watch so please do change it

I will say i subscribed Creator CEO when he had only one thousand subscribers. ❤❤❤

[@Hakutara]

KZbin really recommends me smaller creators like this! *I am liked and subscribed and hopefully, you can do it!*

[@olerecordsofficial]

Yeah, we still struggling for that! Many people say that we have good videos for our niche (house music videos from parties), but not yet found the right way to promote!

[@themangamer999]

The latest videoo of mine has better audience retaintion, better watch time, better ctr but why it did not get more impression just 9k while a wrost performing video got 260k impressions although the ctr was 0.9 and retaintion was worst. Please explain this is confusing me so much plz plz plz 🙏 love from india

[@tomstestkitchen]

You can't compare Mr. Beast with any other creator on KZbin. They could upload a 5 minute video of absolutely nothing but paint drying and it will get millions of views.

[@nuggetploesmeik213]

If MrBeast starts uploading paint drying and no more content he will start losing subscribers and relevance over the time

[@TipsNomics]

I just started my channel, any advice on my first videos?

[@labedition3010]

Very informative content dude

[@cfrestos]

I found this video really really insightful! Thankyou for making it.

[@justforstudy8353]

I mean The same goes for you and this Video.

[@BenVallack]

Do you have any experience on how viral videos work with the algorithm - my biggest video is a really broad appeal video and it has 2.8M views - but it wasn't in a particular niche my channel was know for and my audience is fragmented from covering a variety of content. I'm now thinking I need to focus on the broad appeal kind of videos loosely in my niche but obviously being broad enough means the niche itself is less important. Essentially Ali Abdal has still done very well making broad appeal videos on multiple topics right?

[@KamalNehme]

I think you can do multiple spin offs of your 2.8M views video and it will do incredibly well "What the pocket knife community doesn't want to talk about" (When you do this video and it gets 1M views, you can thank me later) "What outdoor campers doesnt want to talk about" etc... you get the point, replicate your most successful video, you the concept and apply it to new topics

[@BenVallack]

@@KamalNehmevery interesting idea! Many thanks!

[@showgun_fire]

I'm convinced the algorithm isn't real!

[@LifeUnscripted-L.1]

Well not only that 😢 you should also Know that there the algorithm is also biased with towards content from certain countries. I was stunned wen I learned this.

[@HimanshuVasava]

Great

[@ScienceBabble]

I have a jam band channel that caters to a niche, phish fans, grateful dead and disco biscuits fan. How can push my channel to more electronic rock fans in general?

[@CreatorCEO]

make your titles and thumbnails better (quickly clicked channel didn't look any further)

[@andrealucaredolfi3936]

Super 👍

[@sportswikipedia5739]

I think it's luck. I once uploaded a video titled top 10 greatest seasons by a RB, it got over 500 views and then I uploaded a video titled top 10 greatest seasons by WR, not even 100 views. I made a video titled top 10 greatest batting seasons, pretty sure it got over 500 views and a month ago uploaded a video titled top 15 greatest batting seasons and it doesn't even have 100 views. I've seen channels that spread racism, hate and nonsense grow massively. Now and days stupidity is what grabs attention. Who you know or are matters. I bet if I were hot chick I would have a lot more views and subscribers

[@CreatorCEO]

If you think being a hot chick gets you more views, that proves the algorithm isn't luck (although genetics is!)

[@sportswikipedia5739]

@CreatorCEO Still doesn't prove I'm wrong. If a hot chick uploaded the same type of videos as me she would have way more views and subscribers.

[@FlowCreators]

00:02 KZbin algorithm pushes videos to dedicated core audience first 01:17 KZbin uses audience profiles to recommend content based on viewer interests. 02:30 Mr. BEAST's videos fall into defined categories, improving outlier performance. 03:43 KZbin algorithm shifts video away from core audience over time 04:58 KZbin testing smaller channels for better recommendations. 06:13 Click-through rate, retention, and interaction dictate video performance. 07:26 Optimizing thumbnails, retention, and interaction are crucial for success on KZbin. 08:40 To win on KZbin, capturing attention is crucial.

[@TheThinkersBible]

Makes sense. For a new small channel from a new creator these things can help you avoid the worst mistakes but they cannot guarantee success. Momentum is the single biggest driver of success. Gaining momentum is the single biggest challenge to achieving momentum.

[@CreatorCEO]

If someone is willing to make the content consistently, I genuinely think you can guarantee success when you know what you’re doing. Or at least success in most people’s minds (i.e. views). Sadly views alone don’t pay the bills!

[@labedition3010]

Excellent definition of algorithm, to the point and made me watch and hear with my fullest attention!!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I was following a music production channel who is now uploading American football videos, 1 as a viewer Im not interested in sports, 2 Lack of trust that He feel fine to just ditch music production, when ever, 3 Lack of respect of his audience, 4 I have an overwhelming urge to ask him "What the fxxx are you doing?" But Im staying silent because I want to see how much this will damage his channel.

[@ManisMic]

You deserve more subs man

[@theX24968Z]

this very well explains why one of my favorite channels, the modern rogue, died. not only did they take a covid break, but they have an extremely broad range of topics they discuss on their channel nowadays. this also explains why youtubers who try to pivot their channel topics end up tanking so often too.

[@readonemohamed8310]

whenever you want to pivot it's often better to start a new channel. The only exception is when you can make yourself the content. Than it's much easier to pivot to new areas. But many KZbinrs never grow out of the "yellow pages" stage. They are always that tech-guy or sports-guy or whatever and people don't come for their personality but only for the value they offer.

[@tonykamwaro413]

i posted shorts for the first time in February and i doubled my views, but then realized my longform are not being pushed so i made my shorts private and my longform views died. over a month of posting in march and most videos don't even get 100 impressions from a regular 20,000 per video. tried posting a few shorts again but the longform still aren't getting pushed. Is it possible to make a video about this?

[@WillowsAIAcademy]

Having just started a new channel and having abandoned one 10 years ago, I am seeing a massive contrast in the fact that KZbin is now putting my videos in front of people’s faces whereas 10 years ago (and probably until fairly recently) I would’ve had to do a lot of social media marketing to get people to see my videos.

[@JackFire286]

[@TheJourneyIntoYouChannel]

This makes a lot of sense. Thank you for such a clear explanation.

[@MinisandMotorbikes]

Our channel has now been going nearly 4 years. We have 152 videos regularly posted every week at the same time, about the same topic. The thumbnails are of a style that should work, along with the titles, descriptions, images etc. But its slow building. 347 subs to date and an average view number per episode of 150. HELP. What can we do?

[@CreatorCEO]

I just clicked the channel quickly - the thumbnails seem way too busy; too much text, with the image not focused in enough on the thing you want to show off. Titles don't really seem particularly appealing to new viewers. Hope this helps! Please bear in mind I do not know the niche at all.

[@MinisandMotorbikes]

@@CreatorCEO Thanks for the reply. We'll revisit our thumbnails and titles over the next few days and hopefully see some viewer improvements. 👍
