\I've seen a few videos on Google search results that have a list of spam keywords under the video in the description area. By definition a list of keywords is spam.

People say that spam doesn't work, so how do these videos actually rank?

The topic is also my question because I had been searching for some videos lately and I have noticed that some videos with millions of views have a long list of keywords.

Now how can those videos get millions of views if the search engine is not working for their keywords?
