My video with THIS setting got 1m+ views. But…👀
I added a fundraiser…
My video now has 1.2M views.
Does adding a fundraiser blow up your video?
And how do you get this hidden feature…?
Let me explain…
Do you think THIS is a coincidence? 👇
Out of 2,000+ videos uploaded,
There are TWO (not ONE) “Fundraiser videos”,
In their TOP 8 most viewed videos.
What do you think about this 👇
On her channel there are 2 (not ONE) “Fundraiser videos”,
In her top SIX most viewed videos.
Mind you, these are 2 of the many examples I’ve found.
Which left me with the question:
Can an “okay video” that normally gets 100 – 10,000 views BLOW UP, simply by adding a fundraiser?
Well…
I believe in coincidence…
But NOT on YouTube.
Why?
Because they use an algorithm.
Algorithms are predictable.
It’s their nature.
And here’s where it gets interesting…
YouTube wants good PR.
YouTube needs good PR.
Think about it.
A video that’s going viral and raising money for mental health?
For trauma recovery?
For addiction support?
That’s a win-win-win:
Viewers feel good.
Creators feel purposeful.
YouTube looks like a hero.
And what do platforms love more than good press?
Good press that they DIDN’T have to pay for.
Now check THIS:
YouTube covers all transaction fees.
They don’t take a single $$$.
You might think: “owh but YT doesn’t earn money from it then…”
You’re right.
They don’t earn money from it directly.
Here’s what I read…
Covering all transaction fees is not out of love for creators or viewers.
It’s a SIGNAL.
A signal they want this to work.
It reminds me of a quote:
“I no longer listen to what people say,
I just watch what they do.
Behavior never lies.”
~ Winston Churchill
And money follows the honey.
Where honey is what they care about.
YouTube SPENDING money on this, shows you where the “honey pot” is.
Maybe it’s time to taste it too? 😉
Here’s why YouTube is incentivized to prioritize videos with a fundraiser 👇
Fundraisers keep people on-platform longer.
Fundraisers signal high viewer intent and engagement.
Fundraisers tell the algorithm:
“This isn’t just another dopamine-scroll video. People care.”
And if YOU were YouTube…
Which would you push into more people’s feeds?
A 7-minute rant about dopamine…
Or a 7-minute video that ALSO raised $7,000 for youth counseling?
Exactly.
So, the real question is:
How do you unlock this hidden feature (even if your channel doesn’t have ten thousand subs?
And what are the smartest settings to use that seem to get you the MOST views when creating one? 👇
I’ll show you exactly what I did.
