This Video Breaks Youtube.

This Video breaks youtube! How you might ask? Well the 2022 youtube algorithm is a unique creature with many fun exploits and algorithm glitches that allow us to manipulate it for extreme results. One such manipulation is watchtime! This is a great way for youtube to see if a video is clickbait or so interesting people watch it for longer potentially even replaying parts of it! So when a video has comparatively high watch time in comparison to other videos then the youtube algorithm loves to push it!
So today the spiffing brit exploits youtube with the 0.5x playback speed exploit that will double the amount of watch time the video gets. So watch as the youtube algorithm explained leads to some perfectly balanced results! After all youtube seo is not needed when you ask how to grow on youtube with this completely unusable meta youtube algorithm hack!

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. If you enjoyed this why not watch our community post exploit detailing how to get more views or our steam sale exploit cheesing the summer sale!

The only reason why you can just watch the video at normal speed is because Spiff pronounces the words so clearly that even if the video is sped up you can totally tell what he's saying regardless.

[@bread9132]

no.. i watch most of my videos on 2x speed, sometimes the creator naturally talks too fast but this isn’t something special this guys doing

[@do1phin248]

I can actually still understand him at 1.5× the speed (not as much in 1.75× speed, but I can still vaguely hear him). Bro really does just talk so clearly.

[@someonez]

Imagine if this backfires and people start watching his other videos at ×2 speed because they've now realized they can

[@kelvisaisawesome]

@@bread9132 why do you feel so insignificant that you had to say that. This guy is doing something special because speaking clearly is not a common thing, sometimes it’s the editing, sometimes it might be a speech disorder, sometimes it can be the speakers second language, and sometimes it’s just the way people talk Also, 2x speed is nothing to brag about, if there’s smth that’s the most common, is watching stuff in 2x

[@felixjohnson3874]

Nah, I just watch everything on 2x speed

[@testaajaPr0]

algoryhtms and skillbased matchmaking are my two favourite things

[@ryouarozado1350]

The thing is I can understand it without making it 0.5 speed, I am too used to 2x speed that I walk and talk at 2x speed.

This was an excellent 2:22 minutes of my time. Highly recommend, would watch again, 20/10.

Sorry Spiff. I defied you and watched at normal speed. I've spent years as a college student watching teachers on 2x speed. Watching this is nothing. I'll still share it though even if I'm not giving you that 200% watch time.

[@fluffyd0g905]

hehe I had the same idea

[@Shadeaflame]

try watching it at 2x speed on this

[@dernettekerl7665]

I watch pretty much everything on 3x so i listened to this on 2x lol

[@mathguy37]

i might try to experience >2x speed even though youtube aint have that to save more time

Bro I have a habit of watching things at double the speed so this was but a piece of cake for me 😁

[@turokpobedi]

Honestly, at this point I am wondernig if Spiff actually is an evil AI and this is just how he speaks normally.

[@TheoriginalDazome]

This is slowed down from the original binary translation

[@jetsnation14]

This man not only got double the watch time for the algorithm. But also gets many people to comment how many views the video had. Making it even better. He is on a whole other level.

Yes

[@ArturHedlund]

Yes

[@akiraigarashi2874]

Got recommended this by youtube so it does seem to be working

I feel like the first million or two aren’t indicative of the algorithm, since Spiff is such a big channel.

This sounds like a supervillain explaining his evil plan

[@ianrollinson7959]

Not only he outsmart KZbin by forcing people to watch it twice but he also speaks not too quickly in order to make proud people brag on the comment section about how they had been able to understand the video in 1x speed, increasing the numbers of comments (abnormally higher than on usual videos with the same views) and thus the algorithm happiness. It was all part of the plan, good job.

[@therealgeny]

Yeah it’s a very intelligent thought but he said it doesn’t register as double the watch time

[@straw298]

​@@therealgenyKZbin probably fixed the glitch

[@therealgeny]

Yeah

[@BCFilmss]

the amount of comments doesnt equal more views lol. KZbin has literally said that themselves.

@BCFilmss it boosts the vid with the algorithm with all these comments/replies youtube says it must be a good/relevant video and pushes it onto people's suggested vids.
