CONTENT QUESTION

Post Body

I am new to YouTube, and for the record - I don't in a million years think my content is good enough to go viral. I am only asking to better understand how YouTube's algorithm works in 2023

In theory, if a brand new channel uploaded a really, really good video - would YouTube decide to show that video to lots of people? Or is every newtuber basically stuck in grind mode for a good while before hand?

Like I said, I 100% am not making content good enough for that, simply wondering if Youtube is smart enough to parse through 1M mediocre new channels to find the 100 that are making great content
