In modern YouTube each video is ranked individually in the algorithm. Your past videos don’t harm (or boost) your new ones.

The only overlap is where your subscribers watch the video. This gives the algorithm an idea of the audience your video is applicable to so it can push it further than a video from a channel with no subscribers

If anything you should post as many videos as you can handle in terms of workload and quality. Don’t burn yourself out of course, but don’t hold back thinking an algorithm designed to show people videos wants less videos!

You're missing sidebar recommendations and keywords that are carried over from previous videos which are only two deep. Plus weekly, daily and monthly summing of a keyword.

Yes I have thousands of subscribers and millions of hours watched.

I have tried to post as many vidoes as possible like I'm sure many have tried. 3 a day max works better.

You’re absolutely right, I did miss them. Been using the app for a while.

In any case I’ll stop tubesplaining, sorry! Any knowledge I have is booksmarts-deep at best 2015 onwards, any recent experience is definitely going to be more informed

Oh wow 2015 is a long time ago already..
