Is YouTube Promote the same as Google Ads?

A promotion you make on YouTube can only be managed on YouTube. Sprizzy builds the campaign in Google Ads for you, so you do not have to learn it.
Do subscribers from YouTube Promote count toward the 1,000 subscribers?
No. Google says subscribers and watch hours from ads do not count toward the YouTube Partner Program. Only organic subscribers count toward the 1,000. That rule covers every YouTube ad, so it covers Sprizzy promotions too. Google also says a promotion may start a viewer's relationship with your channel.
Does promoting a video hurt my channel?
No. Google says promotions do not affect your channel's or your video's organic performance. YouTube recommends a video based on how it does when it is recommended, not when it runs as an ad. Sprizzy promotions run as ads too, through Google Ads.
