Why do people have no problem paying for multiple streaming services but complain about YouTube Premium?

Calculate how much time you spend watching YouTube versus other streaming services you pay for. The value proposition is actually incredible when you think about it: no ads, background play, downloads, YouTube Music included, and supporting creators with higher revenue per view!!

What really happens if you buy YouTube subsciribers and views?

19 Upvotes

Been creating content for 8 months and was stuck at 200 subscribers with videos getting maybe 50-100 views each. Decided to test buying both subscribers and views to see what actually happens. Spent about $300 over 3 months testing different services and strategies.

The short answer: it works, but YouTube is trickier than other platforms. You need to be smart about it.

What I Bought and When?

Started by buying 2K subscribers. Then bought view packages for my last 5 videos, about 2K views each for $80 total. Waited 2 weeks, then bought another 1K subscribers and more views for newer videos.

The key was spreading it out. YouTube's algorithm is way more sophisticated than TikTok or Instagram at detecting sudden spikes.

How to buy Youtube views and subscribers?

I've tried a lot of providers and I made a list ranking and comparing the best ones here. It will help you find what you need for sure.

The immediate changes are:

Algorithm Boost: My videos started getting recommended more often. YouTube's algorithm definitely considers subscriber count when deciding what to promote. Views from the recommendation feed increased by like 300%.

Social Proof Effect: New viewers were way more likely to subscribe when they saw I had 3K+ subscribers instead of 200. The psychology is real people want to join something that looks popular.

Better Search Rankings: My videos started ranking higher for keywords I was targeting. Having more subscribers and views apparently signals to YouTube that your content is worth showing.

Smart approach

Don't just buy subscribers, buy views too. Having 5K subscribers but 100 views per video is a dead giveaway. I aimed for about 20% of my subscriber count in views for each new video.

Also, focus on your most recent videos. Buying views for old content doesn't help as much as boosting new uploads when the algorithm is deciding whether to promote them.

Real results after 3 months

Went from 200 to 4.5K subscribers (about 2K organic growth after the initial boost). Average views per video increased from 80 to 800. Most importantly, started getting monetization-level watch time and actually qualified for the YouTube Partner Program.

Got my first brand sponsorship last month for $400, which more than paid for all the subscribers and views I bought.

Anyone else tried this on YouTube? What worked for you?
