The way they filter that is by using the view time stat to know if people are actually watching the video or just clicking to it and closing it because it wasn't good. Meaning "view time" the hidden stat is really more important than just views alone.
Likes have already been confirmed by many youtubers as a key element, but thew view time is the trick that would be hard to get around in order to make a "tend" video. It simply requires good content..
edit.. There is also talk about length of the video mattering as well as some people claim they should be over 10 mins, but IMO it's obvious with music videos being less than that that the 10 min idea is not accurate.

Good call about the view time, but as you said that information was not available so I have to deal with what I could get my hands on, but yes you are right there are more variables involved for sure.

What? what do you mean? the correlations between variables was clearly established, and there is no exponential anything, this was a linear correlation.

Media picks up the video and shares it for some reason. Look at the new Gillette ad. People go see the "toxic masculinity" ad everyday just so they can comment about how much it sucks. Emotion feeds traffic.
I wanted really bad to have a white woman in a MAGA hat making out with a black woman and put that on youtube. It would have got a ton of views. But I did not want either of the women to get attacked on street due to the video.

Good call, in reality I was just showing correlation between variables, not a cause and effect relationship, but yes you are right some of the actions may be due to other factors.

Don't worry, an entire lifetime won't be enough for you to even read the post, you just keep trolling.
