Extension allows interaction on ONE tab at a time, and that tab shouldn't be totally muted! This prevents algorithms to flag your interaction as BOT activity. You can move that tab to the background though while working on your PC. Your daily engagement capacity is 300 min by default. You can change it from 'Settings'. You cannot add videos shorter than 60 seconds. If a user fails to settle an interaction debt, the specific video that received the interaction will be removed from the Video Market for 3 days. You can disable the interaction feature at any time via "Settings"; once disabled, your videos will no longer be available for interaction. If you retract the interactions you have provided, you will receive a violation warning. 5 violation warnings will result in your account being suspended for 7 days. For an interaction to count, the video must play at normal speed - without rewinding or fast-forwarding - in a natural, continuous manner. The extension automatically activates on the YouTube tab you are redirected to from the Video Market. You can only add videos from a channel you own or are authorized to represent. Content that infringes copyright, is unlawful, or is age-restricted cannot be added. Three unpaid debts within 7 days will remove all your videos from the Video Market for 7 days. The extension records data regarding the duration of the videos you watch, as well as likes, subscriptions, and comments. Every interaction you make is credited as a debt to the creator of the video you watched. You can view your debts and credits on the debts page. All debts must be paid within 48 hours.

The First 90 Days of a New YouTube Channel

21.09.2026 11:03 · Updated: 27.09.2026 11:11 · 4 views · New

The first three months of a channel are not about going viral. They are about giving YouTube enough evidence to know who your video should be shown to. Everything below is built around that single job.

Days 1–30: make the channel legible

YouTube shows a video to a small test group and watches what happens. If your uploads are about five unrelated things, there is no group to test with.

  • Pick one promise. Not a niche in the abstract — a sentence: "short repair guides for home appliances". Everything you publish should fit it.
  • Publish 8–10 videos. Fewer than that and you have no data; obsessing over one perfect video wastes the month.
  • Fix the first 30 seconds. Say what the viewer will get, then start delivering. No long intros, no logo animation.
  • Make packaging consistent. Titles that promise something specific, thumbnails that share a visual language.

Measure one thing this month: average view duration. Not views.

Days 31–60: solve the cold start

Here is the trap every new channel hits: no audience means the video is shown to few people, and being shown to few people means no audience. Good videos die in this loop every day.

Two things break it. The first is consistency — a rhythm the system and the audience can both see. The second is early engagement: a video that gets real watch time and a few genuine comments in its first hours is not judged on silence.

That is the gap YouCanTube was built for. Creators watch each other's videos and give real engagement — watch time with the sound on, likes, comments, subscriptions — and get the same back. Every interaction creates a debt, so nobody takes without giving, and nothing is bought. It is a floor, not a growth strategy: use it so your uploads start moving, while the content does the rest.

What not to do in this window: buy views, run sub4sub, or post in "drop your link" groups. Those numbers never watch, and the damage they do is explained in bought views vs real engagement.

Days 61–90: double down on what worked

By now you have enough data to stop guessing.

  • Find your best video by average view duration, not by views.
  • Make three more like it. Same promise, same format, better execution.
  • Build the path to a second video: end screens pointing at one specific relevant video, every upload inside a playlist.
  • Move the subscribe ask to right after the payoff — the mechanics are in how to get more subscribers.

What "working" looks like at day 90

Not 10,000 subscribers. Realistically:

  • Average view duration is climbing across uploads.
  • A meaningful share of views comes from browse and suggested, not only from links you shared.
  • Returning viewers exist at all.
  • You have one format you can repeat without dreading it.

If watch hours are your target, the arithmetic is in reaching 4,000 watch hours. But at day 90 the real question is simpler: do you have a repeatable video that strangers finish? Everything else follows from that.
