There was an exploit a few years back with this same process where you could ruin someone's video by running it as an advertisement without their permission. It allowed you to change the title of the video as well ONLY for when it loaded as an ad. So when people immediately were confused and left the video, the video would get retention-rate bombed and stop being recommended due to the plummeting average view duration.

[@carbon1255]

If you advertise to get views, you only get adsense free viewers, this is big brain.

[@niceatpingpong]

I think you can target specific channels in Adsense, I always thought it would be smart for KZbinrs to film dedicated videos for sponsors and agree to run them as ads on all their videos for a set period of time. This way, you can give sponsors access to your entire back catalog and not just one specific video. This would also allow you to decouple your content from sponsors so if there's ever an issue with one of your sponsors doing sketchy stuff, you don't have to go back and edit the ad spots out of your videos. You could just stop running the campaign. I think I heard that sometimes targeting a specific channel doesn't necessarily mean your ads will only run on that channel, but you could also add a nonsense tag to all your videos that is unlikely to be used by other channels and target that tag as well which would hopefully help to ensure that just your channel is targeted. I have Premium, so I don't see ads, but when I didn't, I thought that having ads from the YT creator that I'm currently watching would make the ads less intrusive and I probably wouldn't mind watching them, especially those long, terrible unskippable ads.

That moment a single KZbin view is worth more than 10000 Zimbabwe dollars

[@BusterBeachside]

I always wondered how many regular KZbinrs were actually advertising their own videos. I always figured it could never work, because imagine subscribing to a KZbinr who you saw in an ad while trying to watch another KZbinr. But sometimes I also wonder if those people who seemingly rocket to fame overnight didn't just get lucky with the algorithm, lol. It's tough when you're small and/or just starting out and you can barely get one subscriber per upload. The best thing I've found to rely on is posting videos in the communities for the games I play, mainly Reddit. Some bigger communities (E.g. Minecraft) ban advertising your videos, but smaller communities tend to enjoy seeing KZbinrs making content about their games!

[@ALadCalledPruitt]

That last bit is kinda scary though based on how badly it tanked your CPM for the livestream; bad faith actors could potentially nerf a creator's watch times into the ground

@@ayoCC But recommendation algorithm's preference goes down the tubes. Thus you will get less watch time overall in comparison to organic growth.

[@merlindraws3616]

An interesting question then: for most people, do they get recommended at all anyway? Does it pay more to have your video advertised and seen a little than it does to let the algorithm do the work? Our boy spiffing is pretty popular so his videos likely get recommended more than most and it would affect him. But what about a general case?

[@SGresponse]

@@merlindraws3616 Spiff's SEO was 2010-style. We're past 2020. Better focused targetting gets you less ad views with higher quality. Advertising streams is also a no-no. Streams are for the already hooked crowd that want 3hrs tea time non-stop. Grabbing randos takes finesse and a more focused, shorter video. In terms of recommendation - I believe ads would work as a jumpstart. Once you're past 20-30k subs it's just not worth it IMO.

[@smelge]

I mean, the algorithm has been skewed in favour of large channels for at least 8 years now. It used to be that youtube would recommend other videos from your own channel first, then larger ones a bit lower, but about the time they made minimum requirements for monetisation, they also switched it so smaller channels get larger channels content recommended at the top with their own content way down the sidebar. It made growth of smaller channels way harder than it used to be while pushing viewers away and to the big earners instead. It's been pay to win for a long time.

[@Dean.....]

The videos on the right side used to be "related videos" and were great for discovering new content. A few years later and it's just a glorified 2nd homepage to try and get you to click on things in a feedback loop by showing you things the algorithm thinks you're interested in to increase your watch time on youtube to maximize profit.

[@samuelesanfilippo222]

If there is the invisible hand, spiff clearly is the invisible kick in the balls.

[@thattubechannel]

This could get you in trouble with defrauding advertisers. If you take a video sponsor spot that pays based on number of views the advertiser is expecting their ad read to seen by those viewers. Obviously if the viewers don't even make it far enough into the video to see the ad read then the advertiser is not getting what they paid for. Further, most advertisers will pick a KZbinr based on their audience, so if you are advertising your video out to people who are not your typical audience, then the advertiser who is paying you for their ad read is not reaching the audience they paid for. A KZbinr who uses this is very likely to be sued.

[@maxineshideout852]

Spiff is truly being quite a youtube with this idea and i love it.

[@vincenttrigg4521]

I agree, quite the KZbin move

[@asdfxc]

i liked the part where he turned to the camera and said "it's exploitin' time!"

[@quintenwildemeersch4648]

Belgian here yeah I learned a lot from your organ harvesting video. Setup a new business and making around 200k a week thanks to you. Glad you advertise here to appreciate it

[@ScottTrogam]

Spiff, you really need to turn these powers towards helping Dan get more money back from KZbin. Or at the very least, please turn your powesr to helping him before you release the exploit to the masses.

[@davidtitanium22]

and youtube will just be perfectly happy with more people running ads on their platform

[@IdoBerg]

actually about the sponsors, i had a sponser once and they just gave me 200$ to make a single video about them. the video it self only was at 1.7k views so its a W

[@Strenkoo]

I like that they added the ability to change the video being advertised without thinking about it in any way. You know that was a coder who loves their job and will do *exactly* what they're told.

[@DopplerRedShift]

Hi Spiff! I'm a data analyst and I really enjoy how you mess with things. Have you considered making essentially identical videos, and seeing how these tricks affect engagement vs viewer numbers? I wonder if subscribers would watch essentially an identical video, and whether KZbin would notice?

[@RetroCheats]

Dangerous, could get taken the entire channel down for "reuse content"

[@birky0191]

Fun fact this does work it's how some short`s channels get views quick by uploading the same video over and over it also tricks the algorithm into promoting it more and more gaining even more views or this is what I've seen during long stints of shorts scrolling out of bordem

[@halinaqi2194]

Some yt shorts creators just re-upload other peoples stuff shamelessly. I don't think they need to use any tricks to get views, just steal content.

[@RetroCheats]

@@halinaqi2194 I bet the system can't detect this as reused content, since it's a different format.. and the thief can easily just add text.

[@compscidoggo]

@@RetroCheats also because it's usually from a different platform, such as TikTok. Which is already cringe in itself

[@GamersHaven]

*_Can confirm this is how we hit 1000 subscribers when shorts weren't available._*

[@askalon4558]

Spiff breaking the Internet yet again...

[@KEN-E1]

10:18 “ I’m a cunning British B*stard” 😂

[@PastMourning]

I probably haven't seen a Spiffing Brit video in over a year, not even in my recommended feed, yet this one popped up. I haven't watched it yet but clearly whatever he did worked.

[@jacobh9241]

Lesson for developers: don't just hide a menu item to enforce user constraints, you need to disable the underlying functionality as well.

[@einarkuningas2196]

I think you'd be much better off buying views on some SMM panel like Famester...

[@shanyashwant8201]

I second this, there's no cheaper option than this to amass views on KZbin.

[@longiusaescius2537]

@Einar Kuningas what?

[@domieSinday]

@@longiusaescius2537 they are bot

[@shanyashwant8201]

​@@domieSinday Why do you think I'm a bot? I'm tired of people like you writing 'bot' whenever they see some product/service mentioned in the comments, be it a friendly recommendation or even a placement or promotion.

[@neeyex]

@@shanyashwant8201 dayum nowadays bots are this advanced ? lol

[@lswatEnt]

Hey I really enjoy,supporting othe content creators and showing them support through the journey and I love making youtube content as while been very passionate about since I was 18 years old thank,you

[@DrexYiii]

A spiffing video from you once again brit

[@PastPreserver]

I've been trying to improve my content quite a bit and still don't get many views. I have been looking at trying ad sense this has been very good information. 👍

[@longbow857]

I watched your channel trailer, and even though I have no interest in the subjects you seem to be passionate about I really like your enthousiasm and way of presenting. So I am sure that those who are itnerested in these sort of things will stick around once they find your channel. Good luck mate!

[@PastPreserver]

@@longbow857 Thank you I appreciate you checking it out and the kind words. I know I have some odd hobbies lol but it is fun.

[@Folfah]

theres tons of people with an interest in what you do. save some extra dough, maybe this is all you need. i say this because i have NO interest and still see vids like your often

[@ggzii]

Sadly some of use are banned from adsense. In 2011 way back before you could monotise game footage you had to join a network, I didn't. I made a website embedded my videos and put ads on. Sadly a fan clicked an advert and I was banned. It's 2023 and I still can't be unbanned it's mental how this has gone on for 12 years because of literally ONE click despite making videos for years with no issues. I deserve a second chance.

[@dissect123]

1:57 "I pay KZbin for views and KZbin then pays me for those views" Fuck yeah capitalism!
