Getting the channel went perfect
Getting the channel went perfect, very smooth. The content on the channel was Indian remixed dance music. I have uploaded 22 videos over the course of a few weeks. I even ran some promoted videos to help youtube better understand the new niche. the videos started coming up for search terms almost right way. But not one video has been suggested. You could say well that takes time, but 3 weeks before I bought this channel, I started a brand new channel with the same content, all videos are different, thumbnails are different but template is the same. in the last 28 days the other channel has had 617 views from suggested. It seems like it's very challenging to piviot niches in the youtube algo. and I wouldn't suggest buying a channel that is not in the exact niche you want to be.

Hello Casey Thank you for sharing your detailed review and thoughts about your experience. We're glad to hear that the process of getting the channel went smoothly. I understand your frustration regarding the lack of suggested views for your videos. In our post delivery documents it was stated that switching niches requires a few high quality long form videos. The niche you picked —long-form rain sounds, relaxing music and affirmation vibes —is by nature more search-based. In 2024 and probably 2025, such niches face increased competition due to the saturation of similar content and the algorithm’s preference for more engaging formats. YouTube now favors content that can keep viewers highly engaged through metrics like watch time and interaction, which are harder to achieve with static relaxing videos. The comparison to your new non-monetized channel may seem logical, but there are key differences between monetized and non-monetized channels in how YouTube promotes them. Non-monetized channels are often tested in broader recommendations since there’s no immediate cost to YouTube, while monetized channels face stricter rules due to the fact that YouTube will need to pay you for all the views you get and therefore they are more careful with what they promote. I hope this helps with the future content on your monetized channel. As always, being our valuable customer, you're eligible for unlimited customer support regarding your YouTube journey, and don't hesitate to reach out to our team either on WhatsApp or email for any questions, concerns or help with your content! All the best and good luck! DFY Dave Team
