- when you open youtube, you're given videos people similar to you have watched - recommendations slow when there is no more like minded friends to promote to - someone searching for the video and finding it is like starting a new friend group where the word of mouth continues to spread again - at heart, YouTube is still audience first - There is no separate algorithm for new channels. Each video is ranked individually by the algorithm based on its performance metrics like watch time, engagement, etc. [](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewTubers/comments/wl6188/new_channel_youtube_algorithm/) - Starting over with a new channel does not provide any advantage or "reset" with the algorithm. The lessons and experience gained from your previous channel can actually help a new channel succeed faster. [](https://www.reddit.com/r/NewTubers/comments/wl6188/new_channel_youtube_algorithm/)  - The algorithm takes time to analyze and promote new videos, regardless of whether it's on a new or existing channel. It looks for signals that a video is gaining traction and satisfying viewers before broadly recommending it. [](https://vidiq.com/blog/post/understanding-youtube-algorithm/)[](https://vidiq.com/blog/post/youtube-suggested-videos-algorithm/)  - Promoting your videos through sharing, relevant communities, etc. can provide those initial views that start training the algorithm on who to recommend the video to. [](https://vidiq.com/blog/post/youtube-suggested-videos-algorithm/)  If algorithms are done on a per view basis then it won't be that bad? Those who subscribed to me would probably be interested in anime which is still a bit niche but much more related.
