Well it wouldn't be hard to make the argument that he does, albeit not as programatically as his antagonists.

For what it's worth, he seems to be pretty open about that in the video

And further, even if he is attempting to "manipluate the algorithm" he really is just trying to maximize his views for his content, which is much higher quality content than the average youtube video.
