We all know that there're lots of times that we are reminded to stream like humans.

Don't stream like bots, don't loop the video, don't spam on the comments section, etc. From that many streaming tips and tricks, which are the correct ones?

Here's an intro about BOT BEHAVIOUR.

Before we discuss further about BOT BEHAVIOUR, it's better to see some important points that people often miss on.
1) You//Tube "isn't" a place to stream
2) YT is very important
3) YT have their own special way to count their video views.

Here are some explanation.

Did it only happen to us?

What should we do, then?

The main key to everything about streaming here is:

We have to stream like humans!

How do we stream like humans? What is it?

First, let's discuss about the importance of our "identity". It's not our Google account nor our premium YT accs as well, but it's the IP ADDRESS.

More explanation:

DO NOT LOOP!

DO NOT OVER-STREAM!

Here are more important tips about ways to stream. Please take notes about this!

Another important info, thanks to @starkindler1

Frequently watch recommendation videos from You//Tube's page. Why is that? https://twitter.com/starkindler1/status/1289832780742815744

The list of videos on the You//Tube recommendations page are possibly generated by an algorithm, which is why the recom page are full with K-pop videos when we stream BTS on YT.

Our job here is to filter it up, so a BTS M/V will recommend another BTS M/V instead of other groups.

Things that could boost an M/V to enter people's recommendations page.

1) How long you watch the video.
2) View focus (Scrolling back to fav parts of the vid; e.g. ON dance break)
3) Re-streaming.
4) Saving: subscribing / adding it to a playlist.
5) Sharing!

Sharing video links is important!

It can make ARMYs a bigger fandom than we are right now. Who knows, your aunt might suddenly love BTS because she watched the video you shared to the family chat
