I think that making great videos is part of the reason we're able to rank high in search and do so quickly. When YouTube's algorithms are telling them that people are binge-watching our videos (i.e. staying on their site longer), that gives YouTube motivation to rank our videos higher. But don't underestimate title, descriptions, and tags. I don't think we'd be ranking if it wasn't for those.
