As a rule, don’t compare your YouTube stats, to those of other YouTubers. Set realistic goals for your channel and only make comparisons with yourself. Otherwise, you might get discouraged when you see others racking up numbers on one single video that you can’t muster across your entire channel!
The other day I watched a video where the guy was telling people to copy all of their tags and paste them at the bottom of the video description. I found out awhile ago that there’s really no need to do that because clearly YouTube/Google has no problem reading the tags in the first place. Repeating them is not only redundant but it might also hurt your standings in YouTube search. I took this snippet of text right out of YouTube Creators Playbook
"Reminder: It is a violation of YouTube’s Terms of Service to use misleading metadata and blocks of keywords in your description field."
I’m sure this fellow meant well but I sure hope he reads this post and doesn’t get his channel banned.
