Sending 1,000,000 People To Videos With 0 Views

What happens when you send 1,000,000 people to videos that have 0 views? In this experiment I tried exactly that — directing a massive amount of traffic to brand-new, untouched videos to see how YouTube’s system reacts, whether the view count updates in real time, how recommendations change, and what (if any) impact it has on impressions, watch time, and discovery. In this video I cover: Why this experiment matters for creators and small channels How I routed traffic (ethical considerations and safeguards) What YouTube’s view counter and analytics showed — in real numbers Surprising behaviors, delays, and edge cases we found What creators can learn about launch strategy, thumbnails, and retention ⚠️ Important: This was run as an experiment with transparency and respect for platform policies. I do not promote spammy or deceptive tactics. The goal is research: to understand discovery dynamics and help creators make better decisions.
