Default How did these vidoes get to the front Page of YouTube?

I went to YouTube just now and this video is at the very top of YouTube's home page, above established YouTube channels with millions of views. This person's channel is new and this is the 1st video created using this new channel which was posted 2 days ago.

I wonder if these are real views and likes or if they were artificially done?

Default Re: How did these get to the front page of YouTube?

Well this video is now on the Front Page of YouTube with nearly 1,800,000 views, 1,800 subscribers, over 29,000 likes, and 1,600 dislikes. This channel only has one video and this one video was uploaded 2 days ago with nothing SEO optimized. The only thing in the description is "No description available". There's no way this new video has gotten all this attention and boost in rankings naturally. It had to get some kind of major fake views to boost it to the front page of YouTube and then the exposure it got started getting it natural traffic.

Perhaps they are both winners of the Most Irritating Video of the Week award?

The one above, she is kind of creepy looking but it's just hard to believe that a YouTube channel with only one video that was uploaded 2 days ago, with no keywords in the title or description that would rank it for anything that would capture someone's attention has had that much exposure.

The first video doesn't seem botted, you should thank Youtube algorithm for putting it on the front page. The second one is featured on reddit so it's pretty clear how it got it's popularity.

I cannot understand why this is happening... Even if those views and likes/dislikes are not fake, why the second video is on the front page by the time it not even having a description nor keywords?? Seems that Youtubes' algorithm gives a lot of effort on what its' visitors are watching and not on how much work the up-loaders did.

This is amazing. Maybe we need to put funny video on youtube and not making any SEO. In few days will have 2 millions views

Do a google search for her name, or listen to her music on youtube or in itunes store :-)

She is a well known country artist and she is all over the place.
That's why, her name has news value :-)

She's even a meme now, all over Reddit.

She done that stare thing at the start of the video and went viral for it.

Anything else she said or did in the video was irrelevant after that awesome stare.

So I guess this has some proof that views and likes take precedent over SEO'ing a video.

I'm sure Google has invited her to participate in revenue share. Too bad she hasn't done that. Several million pre-roll videos would produce some nice bank.
