This is fantastic information and very sobering for those of us with smaller channels. I had 10-50 views per month until two weeks ago and I got 200k views suddenly thanks to the algorithm, but it's already peaked so I expect I can't make more than a few dollars per month. See what happens though!

Wow how’s you get such a huge jump in views? my best video has 8k views, coming in at between 100-1000 per month depending how many impressions the algorithm decides to allot to me.

  > Wow how’s you get such a huge jump in views? It happens when your video reaches the frontpage of Youtube.

  > Wow how’s you get such a huge jump in views? I honestly have no idea, but I doubt it reached "the front page of YouTube" like the sibling post suggested or it would have millions. Somehow it must've got suggested to a few people and maybe it had a high engagement rate (likes and comments?) which was somehow taken positively. I'm purely guessing though. It really isn't an impressive video though it does have a 99% like ratio. I'm a bit embarrassed to self promote here so I'll email you based on your HN profile site contact page.
