- winternett 4y agoYoutube puts certain content creators on the front page. Those creators get millions of views. Others pay for promotion on their uploaded content, they line the secondary pages, ranked based on how much they're willing to pay. Everyone else swims in the dead sea of ignore, unless they realize that they need to create and subtly promote their own website on TikTok & IG furiously, and embed their youtube videos into it. Who knows if any social stats are real any more. THE END.
