The YouTube algorithm favors playlists because they help boost session watch time, one of the most important ranking signals. When viewers watch multiple videos in a row through a playlist, it tells the algorithm your content keeps people on the platform longer—something YouTube loves. Playlists also organize your videos by theme or topic, making it easier for the algorithm to understand your content and recommend it to the right audience. Plus, playlists auto-play, reducing drop-off and increasing total views. They also appear in search results and can rank separately, giving your content more chances to be discovered. In short, smart playlist use improves discoverability, viewer retention, and algorithm trust—all leading to more visibility and growth for your channel.
