Like your own videos

[offbeatbryce]

Does it really help at all to Like Your Own videos? I see many YouTubers like their own videos. Either they like a video logged into their main channel from another channel or they like a video they uploaded a week ago. Does it boost views at all?

Of course it helps since it actually shows up in the statistics. Not sure why we can like them but we can and it can make the difference between a "rival" and have a vid of the same thing but you have one more like. ^^

Does it help? You have 1 (or however many accounts you use) more likes than before.

Does it boost your views? Not unless you actually get bots to screw up your stats and that's worthy of a ban I believe.

Probably for big youtubers it does work to get a few more views. They have lots of subscribers and lots of followers on twitter. For small channels, I don't know. Maybe a like will add something to the video.

It can't hurt... So why not, since you really like your videos (I hope).

I mean, I do it slightly different; I dislike all my videos because I hate them

I helps get your like to dislike ratio up, this helps in getting your video further up the search results. helps slightly but only for very small channels

I read somewhere that if you wait to like your video till the day after you posted it that bumps your video back up on yours subs what to watch page. I'm not sure how true that is but that's when I like my own videos is a day after it goes up.

I have my twitter linked to my youtube so all videos I like on youtube also get posted on my twitter. So it's an easy way for me to update my twitter page, like my newest videos and they show up instantly on my tweets. Also, it gives you a free +1 on likes so why not.
