It's not the uploading that's the problem, it's the budget you spend on getting new Facebook likes or YouTube channel subscriptions.

Buying Facebook likes looked like a wildly better investment, but that was an illusion.

Since both platform forbid straight up buying likes and subscribers that would be a hard line to argue against any of them.

Uh, what?

"Advertising your channel": https://creatoracademy.youtube.com/page/lesson/ad-promotion

> To help drive more views and subscribers to your channel, you can pay to run an ad campaign for your videos on YouTube through Google Ads. You can create an ad that appears before a video starts, or alongside a video on its watch page on YouTube.

Both ban purchasing fake followers, but they'll happily take money to put your page/channel in front of potential genuine subscribers.

You're thinking dodgy likes. I think the parent comment is referring to ads
