Quantity vs Quality. Which do you think YT cares about?

Quality. No one wants to watch poorly made videos.
If you upload one crappy video every day, youtube will still not promote you.
I don't follow any schedule. There are months were I don't upload at all or only one video.
On average I upload 2-3 videos per month. YouTube still promotes my videos often enough, because they realize that people enjoy watching them.
YouTube is FULL of content. For litterally any topic you find a dozen videos. People are not waiting that you upload something,what ever it is, as long as they have something to watch.
If they don't find your video worth watching, they will move on to the competition, your watch time is bad and youtube places your video low.

your channel trailer video has terrible audio. Anyone that visits your channel for the first time will get ear ache and immidiately have a bad impression of your channel. Something worth changing.
The fact that your browse feature grew so strongly certainly is an interesting fact but one thing I don't understand: You started posting your daily videos on the 29.8. but already on that day you had the peak of browse featured views? Shouldn't the growths of browse features have started after the 29.8.?


Edit: And work on your SEO. Why don't you include the title of the game you play to the title? People will never find your video via "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?!?"
Rather call it "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?!?" | Name of game"

The original post suggested that if you just produce lots of videos with no particular attention to quality, the YouTube algorithm will reward this, and that quality is not important.

There is an identical channel to mine, by a yacht broker who has exactly the same idea as me, but he produces far more videos and puts far less effort into the quality.

He has published over 650 videos.
I have published 64

We have about the same number of subs, but:

He has 1.2m total views
I have 2.4m total views

His average view per video is 1.85K
My average view per video is 38.3K

His (lifetime) average views per month is 9.51K
My (lifetime) average views per month is 36.6K

He gained 10 new subs in the last month
I gained 772 new subs in the last month

Tube-Buddy Chanelytics is a great thing by the way :0)

I could go on...but I think this makes the point that viewers want to watch quality. The algorithm will pick up on viewers watch habits and reward channels that give the views what they want.

SO...Quality DOES matter!

I don't have a channel trailer thank you very much.
 
@KatyAdelson has already asked everyone to tone it down a bit but it seems like that request is being ignored. I've just had to clean up several posts. Next time, we won't bother. We'll be giving out official warnings with infraction points. But let's hope it doesn't come to that. It's fine to disagree with each other but please attack the argument and not the person. Thank you.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

Viewers come to your channel because they like what you put out. Anybody can make something half-hearted or random and upload it. If you have zero passion for what you're talking about or doing, and just throw whatever sticks out there then your viewers see that.

I think a healthy mix of both is best. Have good quality videos, but at the same time maintain a steady upload rate.

The problem here is that I was talying about what Youtube is doing and you guys are talking about viewership which a whole different subject. Just to make it clear. The original post is about youtube policy, not viewer interaction. Please understand that and try not to misconstrue it as something else.

Threads and conversations evolve. It happens. The thread is still on topic. Just because you start a thread doesn't mean you get to decide or control its direction. The thread doesn't belong to you.

Well, the two are quite intertwined. Yes, Youtubes algorithm pickes out channels that produce frequent content (quantity), but their course is dictated by viewers (who judge quality). If Youtube suggests a video, but it either isn't clicked enough or the watch time is really short, the video will drop out of the algorithm. These clicks and viewtime are provided by the viewers, so that is why so many people are talking about viewership. Viewers dominate Youtubes course.
