What they did
Monitor how each video performs and keep 'stacking bricks': remake variations of the target-keyword videos again and again until they rank. Unlike Google, YouTube lets one creator hold several top listings, especially across multiple channels (FollowBuddy has a branded channel plus Ben's own), so any search variation shows you.

“I will keep remaking variations of your target keyword videos, again and again and again, until you start ranking.”
“it's almost impossible for you to get multiple high-ranking listings within Google, very possible on YouTube. And especially if you're doing this across multiple channels”
