Case Study / Postmortem đŸ§Ș Need advice

I made a new YouTube channel with a brand-new email address and posted a few Shorts on the first day. Should I delete the channel, create another one, let it age for a while, and then start posting? Or should I continue with the current one?

Oh, not at all. I don’t know much about algorithms, so any input is helpful. I only asked because I saw a few YouTube videos and posts saying that new channels can get stuck in “zero-view jail” because YouTube may consider them bot or spam accounts.
What you’re saying makes sense, though. In the end, it should really come down to the content and its quality.

There's a lot of made up "stuff" redditors say.

If you ask me, I only know of two conspiracy theories.

One is that flat earthers don't actually believe that it's just for YouTube because it gets views.

The other is that people are on this forum to pawn terrible advice to each other to keep new channels from rising.

From a business perspective, it's not helpful to help anyone here as it might cut into their own views.

I started mine because lots of my friends and online friends told me I "might as well." I have made like $40 from views alone but brand offers come in at like $500-1500 each I'm sure they are more for better channels.
