What the Hell is this and How Does it Work?

^^That!
I come from the website/Google Search SEO world and soooo many people get all hung up on SEO'ing and all the other stuff, that they forget that all of the SEO in the world wont make up for krappy content.
Nice, no wonder you seem to be so well-informed about algorithms and such. Content is King at the end of the day hahaha!
 
Direct from the horse's mouth - watch time and the contribution your video makes to viewer session time. On the Seo side, titles and the first few sentences of the description. Things like CC and intl translations help foreign viewers as well. Playlists help organize your content into viewer friendly lists. Tags are way down the list. Things like backlinks, external embedding, are pretty much useless unless they contribute to watch and session time. Anything that kills the viewer session should be avoided like the plague, ie don't take viewers off Yt to social media.

You should come back more often.
