I have noticed that new channels often have no tags, no description and fairly standard titles and they perform so well. Does this mean theyre not needed and YouTube can still find viewers for your video without any of this information? Is it worth bothering with a description and tags if creators can still rank and get views without them. I still add tags but sometimes I feel like not bothering and have generated them with AI a few times like I do with thread tags on here to help get them indexed in Google better.
One thing I wonder is would they have done better or worse even with them added.
