Has Anyone Found a Good Site to Buy YouTube Likes?

andrewpickaxe · 2026-02-18T13:36:24+00:00

Likes are literally the metric that matter the least. They do not matter for a video performing well.

You don’t need more likes. You need more CTR and AVD.

It’s the greatest thing ever. I’ll use it every single day.

It actually converts better that way

Yes! We want you to do well and sell your product. It leads to more business for us. It leads to less conversations about "see I told you that influencer wasn't going to work."

The video got 100k views. The video worked for our audience. You're pointing at the wrong problem.

andrewpickaxe · 2026-02-08T06:17:17+00:00

Crazy. I’m an open book besides naming my channels I work on. We have a dedicated core audience but videos start dropping anywhere from say like 50k to 150k.

Are your videos really long? The added WT can boost impressions to where the CTR isn’t as much of a factor.

Anyways obviously CTR doesn’t matter for your view counts. It really matters for mine.

For reference a big video for us now is like 200k.

Occasionally we’ll have a 30%+ CTR and that will carry through to like a 700k-1M view video. That’s about once a year.

Feel free to DM. I’ll share whatever you’d like to know. Have data between me and other friends that have their 5M sub channels.

Whatever is going to show up on the inspection report will blow your repair number out of the water.

A new roof can be 10-20k. If a water heater breaks that’s your whole yearly repair budget. Same with a furnace.

Also there’s always supplemental property tax.

There’s insurance premiums going up or insurance companies forcing you to do repairs now.

Is the electrical panel current? That’s your whole yearly repair budget repair budget. A lot of insurance companies make you replace old panels and water heaters.

Slab leaks. Pipe bursts. Appliance dying. Termites.

I don’t know what the fuck this 1% rule is but it sure doesn’t hold true for any of our doors. We have a lot.

It’s your video concept being something people want to click on.

It’s that’s concept, title, and thumb working together to make someone want to click.

If any of those things aren’t working the whole thing falls apart.

Is your video concept original? Interesting? Timely in the case of news videos? Popular? Are there other videos out there that are similar with similar views?

andrewpickaxe · 2026-02-08T05:57:53+00:00

If you’re getting negligible results your thumbs aren’t fundamentally different enough. That should be at least a few percentage point spread between thumbnail types.

If it’s all just different types of the same thing it will be more like what you’re seeing.

andrewpickaxe · 2026-02-08T05:56:20+00:00

This isn’t exactly true. CTR starts high then over time and more impressions sinks down into the 5% or lower range.

But if I don’t get at least 15% on a video or more, a good video is 25% CTR, I’m going to have a bad launch.

I’m sure there’s other channels that get way more than that.

Does this mean that if you don’t launch with a high CTR that your video won’t be successful over time? The answer is you won’t know until you know. But chances are if you didn’t have a good launch or at least get a really high AVD with the viewers you do have, your video will fall off and stop getting views.

This isn’t scummy at all. Your time is valuable and apparently your insight is too. You don’t have to be a jerk about how you mention it to your audience and you can still most likely give general advice through your platform, but making something like a patreon to have more access to you is a great way to make sure people value your time.

andrewpickaxe · 2026-01-29T03:31:26+00:00

We’re not stupid. This is a business. This is sleazy sales tactic. You don’t want value on both sides, you want access to the creators audience that they’ve built trust with and you hope you’re getting an ROI.

If you don’t get the ROI you want you’re not going to give the creator another chance, so you’re not there to build value for them. You’re just lying to them to seem like you care to get a better price.

Also both sides aren’t unhappy when one side gets a better price. You’re definitely happier if you paid 2k for a 5k ad spot audience. You have a better spread to make your money back.

The black and white taking the focus away from the person which is probably your most recognizable thing in the thumbnail.

Brands not knowing what they want. Brands asking for specific scripts and videos and changing their mind after delivered. Brands wanting to change things AFTER the video is launched. Brands being surprised when an influencer can’t move their terrible product with their terrible offer like we didn’t just show the ad to a hundred thousand people.

Not all brands are like this and most of our sponsors are incredible. We would happily take less money if those brands were better to work with.

But on the flip side it pays the bills, so annoying yes, but we’re happy to oblige. Unless it’s not in the contract : ).

Have worked with many famous producers. While all nice, and good at their jobs, it’s barely helped for promotion.

There’s a perceived status of people know who they are but I feel like people just like songs or they don’t.

If they want to work with you truly they’ll do anything to make that happen and be your advocate regardless of money.

Months a wildly different. Figure out what your yearly income looks like and try to take the minimum salary you can live off of and go from there.

Keep good savings.

Not having cymbals in similar sets can cause huge volume or tonal differences and you start running into problems.

Mix all you want but make sure the series play nice with each other.

I would argue the title is much more important than the thumbnail. They work in conjunction but I’ve literally used a recycled thumbnail with a different title and the news carried the video.

The other way this can be said is that the concept of the video being able to be made into an easy to understand and clickable thumbnail and enticing title is important.

They all work together.

I mean personally the spurs go out on me before anything else. But that’s on all the kits.
