How YouTube Can Kill Your Channel (Patreon)

Here’s a freebie Omniverse lesson for the entire gang! ❤️❤️

Pretext: YouTube recently falsely flagged three of my videos this month causing my channel to plunge into the Algorithm Hell.

Algorithm Hell is when your videos are not being shown to your audience because YouTube has decided it’s not worth showing. tldr If you make videos that your currrent subscribers do not click, YouTube will think it’s a bad video and won’t push it out to an audience OUTSIDE of your base.

Anyway, check the screenshots above. You’ll notice a strong downtick in my videos recently because of the demonetized videos that suppressed viewership and put me in Algo Hell. The videos were Age Restricted and forcibly stop being shown on Recommended and Suggested pages. It’s lame.

I was able to “fix” the issue by crying to YouTube on Twitter but by then the damage was already done. Most views especially for trending related events are shown within the first few days. Then the videos go stale.

Here’s how to avoid Algorithm Hell and how to achieve Algorithm Heaven:

• Make good videos. These videos should be videos that your current audience will click. This is why variety content almost always fails for new channels. Good channels are rewarded most when their subscribers click ALL of their videos.
• Avoid profanity and showing any footage of violence. YouTube will send you to Hell for overuse or any scenes of violence. Best to censor.
• Avoid certain keywords in titles. Did you know there’s a list of No No Words that get your videos strikes immediately if you use them? You can’t use the word BULLY in the title without the video getting demonetized. Google “youtube demonetized words list” and you can find an entire directory of these words. Change your title if you ever accidentally get hit with one of these and SOMETIMES it’ll fix itself.
• Appealing the video doesn’t do shit. 9/10 once YouTube fucks you they won’t stop or reverse their decision.

Getting out of Algorithm Hell sucks but it’s a part of the gig. Also for Omniverse members: I’ll be responding to your Q&A questions this weekend INDIVIDUALLY so make sure if you’re a part of the gang to leave your question/request in last week’s thread.
