Why do some videos only get 300 views while similar videos in the same niche on the same topic get 30,000 views? How come a channel with 50,000 subscribers can outperform a channel with 5 million subscribers? And why is that some videos do nothing only to explode in views several days later? In this video, we'll answer all of those questions and more because we're doing a complete guide to the YouTube algorithm, starting with the beginner level and working our way up to the expert level.

The reason this is the best video on the YouTube long-form algorithm in 2026 is because we're not watering down our examples this time around. We'll be going over the inner-workings of how the YouTube algorithm ACTUALLY recommends content and we're coming at this from multiple perspectives, combining our own personal experience, data and findings with Google's own documentation on how the algorithm works.

For you fellow nerds out there, here is Google's full paper on the YouTube's recommendation system: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.com/en//pubs/archive/45530.pdf
