Algorithm
A set of rules and signals a platform uses to decide which content gets shown — and to whom.
Definition
An algorithm is a set of automated rules and ranking signals that a platform like YouTube uses to determine which videos are recommended, promoted, or suppressed. The YouTube algorithm evaluates hundreds of factors — including watch time, engagement rate, click-through rate (CTR), and viewer retention — to decide what content appears in Search, Home, and Suggested feeds. Understanding how the algorithm works is foundational to any channel growth strategy.
