So, I just watched (and then re-watched) Derral Eves Decoding The New YouTube Algorithm 2017 - How To Grow Fast on YouTube Pt. 2. He talks about playlists and playlist strategies at 25:11, 33:45 and 37:00. And probably a few other times too.
He has a lot of interesting points. The one I want to focus on is when he says that creating playlists will help with what shows up in suggested videos. So, YT will think the videos in this playlist belong together, and will start suggesting those videos even if you're not watching the actual playlist.
Would this mean that if I wanted my videos to show up as suggested content on a different channels' videos that I could put them all in a playlist together, and YT might start to think they're related? Or would that be shady? Like: I have playground videos. Should I make a playground videos playlist featuring my channel and a different, much more popular, kids and playgrounds channel? YouTube does allow you to put videos that aren't your own into playlists.
On a different note: Does anyone out there have a playlist strategy that works for you?
