YouTube
YouTube removes bought engagement within days, so we closed it. Here is what each number does, and what grows a channel instead.
We sold YouTube views, subscribers, likes, comments and watch hours until August 2026, and then we stopped. YouTube's own systems find bought engagement and remove it. Orders finished, and within days the numbers they added were gone again. That happened with every supplier we tried, so it was not a supplier we could replace.
Selling something that disappears after a week is not a product. So YouTube is closed on Hclout, for paid orders and for the free tier, and it stays closed until that changes on YouTube's side.
A channel page shows three numbers before anyone presses play: subscribers, views on each video, and how recent the uploads are. New visitors use them as a shortcut for whether the channel is worth their time. Two of them also decide money: the Partner Programme needs 1,000 subscribers plus 4,000 public watch hours in the last 12 months, or 10 million public Shorts views in the last 90 days.
Almost every channel that grows does it the same way: one kind of video, uploaded on a schedule, with titles and thumbnails that earn the click and openings that keep people watching. YouTube recommends videos that people click and then keep watching, so click-through rate and watch time are the two numbers worth working on. Shorts help a new channel get seen; longer videos build the watch hours.
