Youtube Summary
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 2021 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 2020 to gain millions of subscribers.

So today I show you how to Break the youtube algorithm by beating it by spamming community posts and polls with nonsensical youtube seo search terms and trends!

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.

I think it has been pretty clear for a while that Youtube's recommendation algorithm has some pretty serious flaws.

The issue that Brit discusses is just an example of how content is manipulated in order to foster "engagement".

Youtube may fix this specific issue, but it will not stop the flood of spammy content recommended to users on a daily basis by a fundamentally flawed platform.
