Post-QR update: Winning the $QR auction for my YouTube Short ended up driving the video from 45 views (good for me lately, sadly) all the way up to 1.8k. As a nice bonus, which I didn't initially expect, it also drove my YT subscribers from 33 to 72, more than doubling my current active subscriber count. For reference, one of the YT monetization requirements (they lay these out for creators much better than most other platforms fwiw) is having 500 subscribers to your account, so this boost will hopefully be very helpful in the journey to reach 500 subscribers. I think that this is a much more tangible and quicker ROI than my auction win that directed traffic to my website. I will certainly think about doing this again with my video content.
