YouTube launches new Q&A Shorts Series for Creator Questions

Over the past few days, YouTube Creator Liaison Rene Ritchie has begun posting Shorts which addresses specific YouTube growth questions that will aid creators in their efforts to grow their followers and enhance their videos.

The Shorts receive answers from YouTube’s Senior Director of Growth and Discovery Todd Beaupré.

Several questions and potential difficulties have been addressed, including:

  • Does the filename of your video matter to the algorithm?
  • Do the tags matter to the algorithm? 
  • Is there a secret recipe for pleasing the algorithm, or just a lot of caffeine?
  • Does the cadence or consistency of video release affect individual video performance?
  • Does the video category you choose in the upload process matter to the algorithm? 
  • Do the keyword tags you use in your video upload process matter?
  • Is the thumbnail test result CTR x watch time or it is pure watch time?

While they provide viewers with quick and simple responses, they are nevertheless immensely valuable for those who are looking to optimize their YouTube approach and need tips from the experts themselves. They are particularly helpful for beginners who are looking to build their profile in YouTube and need guidance for how to proceed.

YouTube will reportedly continue posting Shorts addressing much-asked questions like these in future, highlighting their commitment to improving their user experience.
