Youtube Is Broken - How To Kill A Youtube Video

Youtube is a perfectly balanced platform with no exploits at all... Ok well maybe there are a few! Youtube is the greatest video sharing platform on the web and every now and again everyone finds a new way to exploit the website to glitch and bug the algorithm to become the largest channels on the website. In the 2010s we saw gaming channels accidentally use an algorithm glitch to become the only things youtube recommended. Now however youtube has a new secret exploit! There are many ways of explaining how to grow on youtube or how to get more views or how to get subscribers. Today however we will be using an algorithm glitch to gain more views than we should ever get as well as thousands of subscribers and preferential promotion in the algorithm. Have you ever wandered how the youtube algorithm works well guess what the new youtube algorithm 2023 edition is completely broken and full of bugs, glitches and exploits! If you ever wanted to know how to grow on youtube then you probably thought the answer was to make more videos but no! instead the spiffing brit will explain the youtube algorithm to show how dream exploited the youtube algorithm 2023 to gain millions of subscribers.

What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.

This is terrific, now I can tell myself that it's not that my videos are terrible, it's just that someone is sabotaging me!

[chesney]

Thanks for exposing this, Spiff. To spread the word I've paid out on an ad campaign showing this video to as wide an audience as possible!

this is doubly terrifying because it means that large corporations can do this to reviewers who review their product poorly; or who review their competition positively; effectively resulting in erasing the reviewer from the algorithm and thus the bad press.

[RTGame]

How could anyone suppress Daisy, the most loveable Mario character of them all I certainly love

[TheMoneyhats]

Another use case for this exploit that I find even more terrifying is that it can also be used by companies against YouTubers. A company could pay to suppress a youtube video that reviews their product negatively, so that anyone who searches your product sees only positive reviews. Suddenly, that 100£ isn't actually costing you anything since you are influencing your prospective buyers into actually buying your product by removing anything negative about it. That is truly frightening!

[CatsT.M]

That is actually terrifying...thanks, Spiff! Always the best at breaking things!

I tried advertising my channel about 2 years ago on adsense, absolute nuke to my channel, have not grown since. Literally have been stuck just under 17k subs, worst decision I ever made.

[TheWyrmSuperior]

That is very terrifying. This would let brands silence any videos that don't agree with them by spending their marketing budget on mistargeted ads. Hopefully @YouTube can figure out a way to stop it!

[solaireofastora]

You know a exploit is bad and disgusting when Spiffing Brit himself hates it

[alexlowe]

As RTGame and Spiffing Brit have shown, the best way to improve YouTube is to show how badly broken and horrible the platform is, and how easily it is broken. Thank you for doing your part!

It's mind blowing that they added that checkbox, and then somebody went like "Wait, should everyone have that checkbox?" and then they said "Nah, screw the smaller channels."

[goodusername]

Hey guys in this video we will teach you how to sacrifice a youtube video to the tea gods

[CamwayGaming]

I love how you subtly point out that youtube knows about the issue and has taken steps to protect larger channels. Almost like this feature is intended for larger channels to spend money to make sure they never have competitors.

[mahadevovnl]

YouTube: "So people are going to PAY us to sabotage each other? And this will take off?"

YouTube: "We looked into ourselves and found no problems."

[dastuna]

I started to notice fake ads around when the dislike button was hidden. Annoying repulsive chaos. They don’t even bother to have a fake product.

[qerupasy]

I believe that this is an adequate explanation of that one time Youtube tried to show me a 30 minute preroll podcast before a 6 minute video. Very enlightening. Thank you.

[SwankyBox]

Not really a "new" secret exploit, but long story short, I covered this extensively about 5 years ago because this happened to me, and eventually I got it elevated to the right people at YouTube. A video of mine was promoted which allowed them to change the title of the ad to promote pirating the game I was covering in the video. Of course, people dipped because that wasn't the case and the video tanked. Thus, this ordeal is how that checkbox for larger creators got implemented - through repeatedly knocking on creator support's door. (The checkbox that prevents their videos from being used unless that Adwords account is linked.) However, I was not aware it did not include all creators... Which is depressing to see that the same issue still exists for those starting out.

[SammiRei]

In this video, Spiff will break Youtube again. Probably.
