A number of months ago BillWhittle.com embarked on an experiment to see if playing to the algorithms a bit more than usual would help boost the engagement on videos published to Yankee Tango. I have been keeping a casual eye on the numbers on Yankee Tango, Rumble, and the website ever since, What follows are some of my observations.
- The average number of views appears to have gone up – I am seeing more videos hit 10K on Yankee Tango and I am not seeing the major suppressions that we have seen in the past.
- The number of comments on the website has gone up dramatically, it used to be rare to see 20 comments on a video but now that even happens on Virtue Signal episodes on occasion and I have seen at least one get to 50 comments.
- Rumble views remain low in general – usually under 1000 views on videos. However, I have noticed that the couple videos that are exclusively posted to Rumble with a short video linking it on Yankee Tango get more views on Rumble then those videos usually get anywhere.
Just some interesting observations, I hope you all enjoyed!

I think another way to fight Youtube censorship, is to get the channel more exposure via interviews/guest spots on other members of the alternative media’s shows.
Individuals of the alternative media used to do this all the time, but the practice seems to have fallen by the wayside – they seem scattered & isolated now.
Whether this is by choice, or a byproduct of all the suppression, I don’t know, but I’ve got a funny feeling it’s the latter.
Take Crowder for example, he used to have all sorts of guests on his show, like Tommy Sotomayor, Karen Straughan, Stefan Molyneux, Jordan Peterson, Gavin McInnes, Andrew Klavan etc. Now he hardly has anyone on.
Same with Bill, he used to do videos with James O’Keefe, Dinesh D’Souza, Stefan Molyneux, Dennis Prager, Dave Rubin, Michael Knowles etc.
Getting on Louder with Crowder would be especially effective, Crowder’s channel is the biggest in the alternative media with 5 million+ subscribers, so a smaller channel has a lot to gain in terms of views & exposure.
Science!
