youtube is going downhill slowlyHaven't seen this yet despite using Adblock Plus
I use Tor browser IP change every 5sec, never get any adds on YT,I think content creators have had some ToS changes foisted upon them not that long ago, whereby adverts can be implemented right at the start, slap bang in the middle and of course at the end.
So with that I'd imagine many to take them up on that, though I'm not sure of the exact criteria to be eligible for that option.
With so many ads now headed our way it's little surprise that Youtube would want anyone blocking them effectively, I should imagine.
Still, always great to mix up the VPN settings for awesomely cringe foreign ads, like, say, Dutch. Or French
content creator here, don't meet the requirements to apply for monetization with YT but the platform still puts ads on my best videos. YouTube has gotten greedyI personally do not use ad blockers, but I have to say the number of advertisements played during youtube videos has grown exponentially over the course of the last 18 months. This coincides with YouTube pushing their Premium subscription service which offers a no ads viewing experience.
I get it that YouTube and their content creators need and want to monetise their content, but it is extremely annoying when walking the dog, every three minutes or so, the video I am listening to is interrupted by a crypto trading ad or the such like.
Meaning I have to stop, get my phone out of my back pocket and click skip ad, so as not to be subjected to inane drivel that has absolutely no interest to me whatsoever.
Not heard of that browser before, will have to have a look at it.I use a Brave browser; it sorts all out, plus it has an integrated crypto wallet if needed. It's like Chrome but crafted more towards user privacy with additional features.
Yeah, it's a decent one, but take a closer look to see how its settings in "Global Defaults" work for you otherwise, you might not get into your banking page if all is set to too 'aggressive'. Gov sites like the UKGC can also start blocking you after a few visits. I recall once i was playing with the settings and then could not access anything lolNot heard of that browser before, will have to have a look at it.
Does that work on the iPhone version of Firefox as well? If so I will be using it for my dog walks.I can't watch YT with ads -- they drive me crazy.
I've been using the "Enhancer for YouTube" extension in Firefox for years. No challenge to that yet. (Fingers crossed.)
I will give Brave a try too, thanks for the recommendation @Guntis !
In Apple works fineYou do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.is also a decent solution, it works on all operating systems and modern web browsers. Some websites might ask to disable it to view their contents, but it's generally rare. For Windows users is just a regular Chrome extension. How it works for Apple; no idea.
Does that work on the iPhone version of Firefox as well?
Yt is getting worst every year, Last year I was getting so many views on my videos, January this year they shadowbanned me, now is very hard to even get min views... most of UK gambling videos YT shadowbanned, Only Bandit is making lot of money from YT
up to last year I was getting 2k up to 5k per video, then all stop, For one video I even got 46k, I did speak to someone on YT they told me a lot of channels got shadowban on gambling videos, yt still used my 46k video for advertisingTry this:
Remove anything UK-ralated from your channel (gamstop, .uk websites. etc) and show your videos to a global audience. When uploading new videos, vary locations in the 'Recording date and location' settings. Also, remove 'English UK' and change it to just English. For gambling help links you can use gamblingtherapy.org, it's a global service.
Forget about moronic video titles others create. Make yours more natural while keeping them keyword-optimized, and always keep your YT brand name at the end, for example:
- Dead or Alive 2: Mega Win via 5-Scatter Bonus (5,187x) | uTubeSlots
- Slot Bonanza Big Win 8,000x | uTubeSlots
uTubeSlots looks really good, and you need to push it so YouTube/Google bots and your visitors can recognize it better.
An easy way to increase your brand visibility for bots would be to start uploading screenshots to Pinterest and Twitter, and then linking back to your YouTube channel showing a video of a particular win.
Don't forget to stick your YT logo on those screenshots.
When uploading a new video, always include context, at least minimal. The simplest way to do it would be using the entity, attribute, and value model. For example:
In this video, uTubeSlots played the following NetEnt slots:
Slot: Dead or Alive 2
Entertainment Value
- High-quality graphics
- Immersive sound effects
- 5 reels, 9 paylines
- Free spins feature
- Sticky wilds
- Scatter symbols
Volatility & Risk
- High volatility
- RTP: 96.8%
You can easily copy/paste this info from the providers page, and add a few emojis or symbols to make the list look better.
Then, include links to 3 of your previous videos. By doing so, you offer viewers an opportunity to browse your channel further, improving the user experience. Interconnectivity is highly likely considered a part of the "helpful content" by their algorithms.
Plus it also means you're linking your videos together creating a network of interconnected content around your entity (uTubeSlots). This makes it easier for YouTube's bots to find your content as well as better recognize the channel.
At least sometimes consider using services from Legiit, Fiverr, or microworkers.com to create an activity in your video comments section. This is the most important part of ranking your videos in the Youtube search. Many others are using them too.
For best results, you need a strong template of procedures. For example, if you leave a useless comment like congrats, wow, nice, etc, you won't be paid. Instead, they must ask keyword-rich questions related to the video title, etc.
I'm not sure what the purpose of your channel is, but for the brand name, you could create a simple website with the domain name utubeslots.com.
All this is what I would do if I had a YouTube channel like yours
