  No. The algorithm rewards making content that people watch, not shovelling out junk that only your mum wants to watch.

    Okay but part of getting the algorithm to suggest your videos to people is to post consistently and often

      If people actually watch them, sure. If nobody except your mum watches the whole video, it doesn’t really matter how much you post.

    not always. i remember there used to be some pretty big channels that posted only every once in a while.

    now it seems most of them put out lower effort stuff frequently, theres def been a shift.

      Definitely not the case for me, you need to stop watching low effort slop.

      I follow a few channels that only publish every other month, and they still get recommended to me as soon as they release. Slow Mo Guys is one example.

        Dude legit lul. I have like 7 or 8 channels I follow that post maaaaybe once a month and they consistently get close to a million views. Let alone people like hbomberguy who posts like 3 or 4 videos a year and gets millions upon millions of views.
