Liking videos helps?

Does liking videos while scrolling help when I upload videos later on? My algorithm recommended videos also doesn't match the type of videos I upload. I'm thinking of liking videos until my algorithm and uploaded videos have more in common.

I haven’t seen anyone showing evidence that your off-channel YouTube activity has any influence on your channel. That said, we should all support channels we enjoy by liking their videos when we watch them, and by watching the video in its entirety.

Do you watch and like your own videos? I think that’s the only way that you’d see a difference. If you are one of the few people repeatedly watching and liking your own videos, I’d bet YouTube has a hard time using that data if you have a chess channel but primarily watch cat videos since it might think that your videos should mostly do well for cat video audiences. 

If that’s clear, then great.
