In the past, YouTube's giveaways were quite frequent, but these days, only knowledgeable people tend to do them. You may wonder why there are fewer giveaways now. There is a policy behind it which I will explain.
The giveaway policies were implemented because many channels collected a lot of engagement through forced methods. Platforms like Gleam facilitated these practices by increasing entries and followers through various means. Over time, these policies were deemed to be forcing engagement, and algorithms were adjusted to ensure fairness.
Because of these policies, giveaways are no longer a viable strategy for channel growth. Videos containing giveaways are less likely to be recommended, and there are issues like banned comments and account problems.
If you genuinely want to give back to your audience, there are still ways to do it:
However, avoid online giveaways like before, as they are against current policies and won't help your channel.
