YouTube has become one of the most powerful video sharing platforms in the world, occupying an unparalleled position in the world of digital media. In the last decade, the platform has transformed from a purely entertaining space to a multi-purpose platform for education, marketing, branding, and even direct revenue generation. In the meantime, increasing user views and interaction with videos is not only a goal, but sometimes an inevitable necessity for content producers. In this direction, one of the new and controversial tools is SMM (Social Media Marketing Panel) panels, which allow for faster but not always organic growth.

The concept of SMM panels and their use in YouTube

A SMM panel is generally a platform that provides automated and collective services in the field of social networks. By connecting to specific APIs or a network of user accounts, these panels are able to quickly allocate specific amounts of interactions (such as views, likes, subscribers or comments) to the desired content.

In the case of YouTube, SMM panels can provide services such as increasing video views, increasing the number of channel subscribers, increasing likes and even targeted comments. These seemingly simple, but effective services can affect how YouTube's algorithm perceives the quality and popularity of a video.
