-be a "prankster"
-Run stream highlights of you being obnoxious and hamming up your reactions to everything
-film yourself giving a homeless guy some cash in a clearly staged environment

Everything except the second to last point was pretty common back in the early days of YouTube too. I managed to get 21k views on a really **** video from the title when I was like, 13.

Oh yeah, one thing that will get you a ton of views: Misnaming. Back when Outlast had just come out, my cousin put up a series on it. One episode was titled "The Whistleblower", which was also the name of the then-unreleased DLC. People thought that it was a gameplay video of said DLC, causing this 37-subscriber channel to get a video with 13k views. No other episode in that series got less than 100 views after that, though outside that his views did drastically drop off.
