YouTube Premium Is Broken.

KZbin Premium Is Broken... How broken? Well we are talking an infinite money maker kind of broken where you can use KZbin livestreams to harvest insane watch time and make incredible profits using a feature hardly anyone on KZbin uses. You see youtube premium allows its users to break the 2021 youtube algorithm in several ways! Users contributing high watchtime pay out incredible amounts of money to creators and premium users who download videos ad insane levels of watchtime to videos. This allows you to bypass youtube seo and break the youtube algorithm and get views at an incredible rate as youtube recommends your video to more and more people. So today we sit down and watch the spiffing brit break and exploit youtube again!
So today I show you how to Break the youtube algorithm by beating it by spamming the download button on the youtube premium tab!
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 makes a ton of sense as to how Vtubers are so incredibly successful on YT. Literally all of their content is hours-long live streaming, the big groups getting in the 300k views or above per stream, nearly daily.

[@FrankToasty]

Yeah no shit. The current most subbed Vtuber always has 300k-500k views after the stream ended then after a few hours there will be at least many people who will watch the VOD adding another 200k-400k views on the VOD. Their accumulated live viewers watch time for May, June, July is almost 5 million. There's another Vtuber from their same company having 8 million watch time on the same quarter. That's even excluding the Superchats, even if there is some cuts from their company the revenue alone will make them swimming in money goddamn.

Don't forget about the download glitch talked in this video.

Meanwhile Vtubers graphs go *stonks* , cause algorithm registers downloading it as watching it again.

[@chatboss000]

The download glitch refers to YT's built in download feature available to Premium users, if people make edits, they will be downloading via an external tool that probably doesn't give a damn if you have Premium or not.

Possibly. But I know KZbin sometimes auto-pauses the video and sends you a pop-up prompt asking if you're still watching whenever it gets suspicious that you're not, so if that happens it'd interfere with the revenue. I don't know what triggers it, and it could just be Chrome taddling on you when it's idle, so it might not happen on other browsers. It also happens to me more often with playlists rather than long videos.

Good question.

[@telenikros]

you could easily use a different device on a different account and download the videos hence tricking the system

[@muizzsiddique]

@@telenikros But that would mean having Premium on an account that isn't the one you publish content with. It could work depending on the person.

[@telenikros]

@@muizzsiddique yes it does, but the publisher doesn't need premium on that publishing account to publish anything, so they would still only have one premium account

[@RikaRoleplay]

Other exploit, having playlists (for sleep) KZbin Playlists can be on repeat. You can put the same video in the same playlist multiple times, and have it auto play as you sleep. This is why there are so many "Sleep meditation relaxing music with rain" videos on KZbin, and they do amazingly well, as they are 4-10 hour long videos, that are watched by premium users (otherwise the ad spam ruins the video), and with that, crazy things happen. Being a premium user, and seeing nothing but sleep music videos recommended in my feed and having to click "not interested" every day to try to cut it from dominating my feed entirely, has become a chore. Any videos targeting sleeping audiences apparently do very well, especially if sleep isn't in the title. Ask Technoblade about this as well, as he seemed to be someone who had this phenomenon occur with one of his videos, and theorized roughly the same.

This can also work for short videos too, and would be the only counter to long videos

I mean think of it like this: animator creates an animation, and during the creation of that animation they stream the creation of the animation. Given the amount of time and work it takes to create a single animation, especially ones longer then say 10-30 seconds, this means the animator could easily have several 8+ hour livestreams raking in tons of cash before the final full animation is put up. So really, all you did was given them a way to monetize better.

The reason why Spiff isn't banned from youtube is because he is useful to them, revealing these exploits as content

[@varshard0]

He's exploiting them

[@michaelheliotis5279]

I don't know if YT is necessarily that pleased about it, considering most of these exploits otherwise fly sufficiently under the radar that they can just ignore it and not fix it. They don't care if there's an exploit, they only care if there are tons of people using and/or criticising it. The reason he's not banned (and why he got unbanned) is because he's a sufficiently large creator whose loyal following would shred KZbin for banning him over an exploit, which they should be busy fixing rather than hiding. If any smaller creator pulled this kind of thing, I can guarantee you that they would delete the account without a second thought, which is probably what happened when this channel got deleted. Like, you can bet that some idiot moderator, who didn't know about the channel and hadn't noticed its content and subscriber count, hit the delete button without a second thought because who cares about some nobody creator. What's particularly stupid is that everyone knows YT completely ignores any bug/exploit reports, even from all but their biggest partnered creators, unless it ends up trending on KZbin or Twitter. So to then delete his account for being exploitative, when a video like this is the only way that they'd listen to him about an exploit anyway, is even more outrageous. I hope all their moderators have received a lovely email from their managers telling them who The Spiffing Brit is and how they're not to touch his account without top-level permission, because I for one will happily put up a massive stink on all platforms if they should presume to so flippantly delete him again.

KZbin apparently takes 45% of the earnings from both ad and premium revenue and the remaining 55% goes to the creators. Patreon apparently takes 5-12% of the earnings. So if your goal is to support the creators you like, then using Patreon would be far more effective per dollar.

I got KZbin premium as an accidental “imma try this free trial” which lead to me really liking being able to close the app and listen to videos or just not having to watch ads. A lot of the videos I watch you can simply understand what is being discussed or what is going on based solely on the audio leading to a lot of let me check my email or respond to texts without pausing the video. Not having ads is one of the best features ever, I am impatient and sometimes a 2 minute long grammarly video that you can’t skip for a 4 or 3 minute video, just didn’t seem worth it, every time I did it I felt like a monster but I couldn’t justify spending a minimum of 2 minutes watching a video with ads for one specific part when I could just scroll to the right part without ads and take about 35 seconds.
