Learn to abuse the yt shorts algorithm.

YT shorts can either pop off or fail, what you can try to do is make some content unrelated to your game on shorts about trendy things rn. Then, when the time is right and your getting atleast above 1k+ views on your shorts switch over to advertising your game.

without advertising it would mean not using youtube or any social platform to advertise aswell. itโ€™s simply not possible unless the algorithm gods decided to bless you and put your game on the front page.

now i would say reach out to small (or big) youtubers to advertise your game but that would be sponsoring. so you can do the chicken guyโ€™s method (you can also try other social platforms such as tiktok where you can easily get viral)

i am looking for free methods, dont think any youtuber will advertise my game for free, but tiktok also a good idea!

reach out to smaller youtubers, they will (very likely) sponsor or advertise your game for free for the sake of their channel

i have a name bro wdym the chicken guyโ€™s

Shorts like this arenโ€™t gonna pop. Itโ€™s too clear that this is an ad, the crop is brutal, music isnโ€™t catchy enough, etc. For a Short to get more views, you need a properly clickbaity first seconds. Add subtitles or AI voice over, etc.

Also, making content unrelated to your game just to get a thousand views on a game ad later is a terrible idea and a waste of time. You can reach the same with videos about your game if you do it well enough and there are plenty of cheap editors that could help.
