I have noticed one method that seems to almost guarantee you get a LOT of views and followers.
It is to make what I call reactionary vids.
By this, you film people getting annoyed at you filming them.
These seem very popular in the UK.
I noticed one chap was doing vids of local places, and his views were 200 views, then he started to do vids where he filmed businesses and chatted to owners, and those vids got over 22k views.
Some vids are just people on bikes filming drivers on phones.
Below are are few example youtube sites:
