A lot of “unverified” information are circulating online. So I took the time to research on this and here’s what I found:

First off, we need to find the right information from the right source: YOUTUBE.

According to the latest article about YouTube Music charts posted on YT’s official blog:

Only views that come from organic plays contribute to the charts.

By organic they mean:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check"> Direct links to the video
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check"> Search results (manually searching for the video)
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check"> External sites that embed the video (but not autoplayed)
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check"> YouTube features like Homepage, Watch Next, and Trending

That’s the latest blog from YT that discusses views. At the end of the day, no one really knows how YouTube’s algorithm works.

But here are some articles that have similar sentiments on artificial/fraudulent views.

Therefore we should NOT

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❌" title="Cross mark" aria-label="Emoji: Cross mark"> Use Autoplay
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❌" title="Cross mark" aria-label="Emoji: Cross mark"> Open a lot of windows to watch the video at the same time

There are also some articles saying that repeated views count only up to a certain point (it stops after the 4th or 5th view).

Again, this info is not directly from YT but from people who experimented on to see how views contribute to the count.

From what we know, this is what we can do:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check"> Search for the MV manually
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check"> Post the link whenever you can (if someone clicks this, it counts as a view)
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check"> Watch from start to end
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check"> Leave a comment
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Ballot box with check" aria-label="Emoji: Ballot box with check"> Search for other videos (performances) before streaming the MV again

Personally, what I do is clear my history first then stream the following:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart"> NBTM MV
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart"> NBTM MCountdown Stage
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart"> Aura Stage
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart"> Poison Stage
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart"> NBTM MV
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart"> Hard Carry
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart"> YCMN
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💚" title="Green heart" aria-label="Emoji: Green heart"> NBTM MV

After this, I log in to a different account and do something similar https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💁🏻‍♀️" title="Woman tipping hand (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman tipping hand (light skin tone)">
