How can you promote a youtube atheist channel?

How can you promote a youtube atheist channel?
Hello guys. I have a small atheist youtube channel and I am currently looking for ways to promote it. Both paid and unpaid. I have approached big youtubers offering them money for a shoutout but even like that I get mostly silence. I am not sure I could afford one even if they responded (budget of a few hundreds).

I don't think I can use official youtube promotions... I heard religious related content is not liked there... some may see atheist content as anti-christian and controversial content. 

Any ideas?

Start sending links to every vocal theist hater that you can find.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I don't have a problem with that unless if it contains ads for NordVPN, in which case you should be able to afford it.
If there are no ads, I will be happy to click.

My view of Youtube is that it is a terrible place to engage people.
My comments often get deleted now while in 2010 - 2018, they all went through.

If I write
Christianity is a religions
or judaism, started out the messiah project
or anything that is just facts, it gets deleted in 3 s.

Talking to people becomes impossible.

If I talk about computers, if I mention names like Microsoft, Sony, IBM, Intel, Ryzen, Pentium, Lotus Notes, it gets deleted.
Mention names like Ford, Chrystler, Sylvania, Globe, General Motors, it gets deleted.

If I talk about a vaccine being safe, why people should get vaccinated, it gets deleted.
At the same time, it let’s conspiracy theorist garbage get through.

I think there is a perma ban on my account. It is in strict mode.
If I write
you look like a monkey
you look tired
you look like a table
you look like an apple
you look like........ all those sentence forms are evaluated by Youtube as naughty.


So, I created
YoutubeComment to help me out
https://sourceforge.net/projects/youtubecomment/

but it doesn’t always work. Over time, Youtube has gotten more intelligent.

That would be kind of hard since it seems everything has already been said, so anyone looking for atheist content on YouTube can just watch things that have already been made. Seems like only the strongest atheist YouTubers are left.

I guess the only way to get an audience is to make quality content either by saying the same things as they are but better and with higher production or talk about something that people have not yet covered.

For example, I haven't yet seen (and this is not exactly atheist but skeptical) someone debunk conspiracy movies like JFK (1991), Roswell (1994), Nixon (1995), The Plot Against The President (2020), etc.

JFK (1991) is like a holy mass to many conspiracy nuts, so showing how Oliver Stone lied would create a lot of discourse on your channel.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I agree that, in online atheism, you eventually run into an issue of making the same arguments over and over again.

I am currently trying to differentiate myself using some funny cartoons and animations, since I have a background in graphic design. We will see how it goes!
