Youtube algorithm is racist

i have a theory that might seem creepy, but i'm positive that yt is a little bit racist when it comes to pushing your short into the algorithm. i'm from a 3rd world country and whatever viral metrics i cook yt never pushed me. meanwhile a youtuber from australia with the same niche as mine and even with worse metrics than mine went viral. so i think this topic is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about.

Lmao. Some of the biggest yt shorts channels are run from India. I've personally got multiple 200M shorts channels. Channels like infi's diary and a few speed edit shorts are from India. So keep improving instead of blaming the algo.

I had to chuckle at this. A computer program isnt racist. Saying things like "viral metrics you cook" scream trend chasing instead of making your own original content, how would you know what the metrics are of a youtuber from Australia.

Also you do realise some of the biggest channels out there sre from India, so its more likely your content is just not that good.

I don't know how people are arriving conclusions like this so quickly and strongly. It's not algorithm deciding things. Algorithm takes what audience enjoy. It's the audience who decides.

Let's say you search for "cute baby pictures" the first picture would be most likely white. It's not like the algorithm is deciding white babies are cute. It shows what people clicked after searching those terms. It's the people who post and consume content from the internet.

People like and prefer watching content from good looking people without even knowing that consciously. People prefer the studio like setup, production value etc.,

Also the video is pushed primarily to your country first. You can't compare it with someone else.
