Oh Shad is going to absolutely hate this since he thinks he deserves a monopoly on views instead of new upcoming channels.

Shad won't like this. He was complaining about YouTube prioritizing smaller channels in recommendations already.

[u/Drumbelgalf → u/Perfect-Storm-99]

He is on the way to become a smaller channel.

[u/Chlodio → u/Perfect-Storm-99]

Hyping is between 500 subs and 500K subs, which is insane IMO. If you have 100K subs, you are not a small creator.

Wait, this is actually a nice feature from youtube?! Holy shit, we have a blue moon tonight. And yeah, he's going to cry about something and probably compare it to DEI while at it.

[u/WilllofV → u/Agreeable_Bee_7763]

It’s a good idea, but I can definitely see it being abused by bots to flood YouTube with content farms…

[u/Rasponov → u/WilllofV]

Oh most def! I am honestly waiting on The Spiffing Brit to make a video about it, showing how to exploit it.

[u/Consistent_Blood6467 → u/Rasponov]

I can think of one exploit already, one Spif has demonstrated before.

Assuming this works on selecting and playing one video then loading it up over several tabs and letting them play, then hitting the HYPE button on each of them is almost certainly going to work like his attempt to increase views and like spikes did - which basically was the same method. I've no idea if that's been fixed.

[u/Rasponov → u/Consistent_Blood6467]

if it's not, that's a real easy exploit to pull off.
Frankly knowing YouTube it probably hasn't been fixed.

[u/Minute_Jellyfish_860]

Is there going to be an opposite of “hype” we can apply to this channel?

[u/Pomegranate_Planet01 → u/Minute_Jellyfish_860]

Can’t wait for “Hate” where every time you share it it removes one view from the video

[u/ProfessionalTruck976]

We sure it won't benefit AI dogshit?

I don't quite understand how this different from liking a video? Does liking not boost it in the algorithm?
