How to choose keywords for a YouTube video?

Question

YouTube

Probably every author wants his video or channel to be in the top. But on YouTube, we can see almost the same videos that have millions of views and that have almost no views.
Yes, popularity is affected by time, likes, subscriptions. But there are situations when the video "shoots".

On the Internet +100500 services for the selection of keywords. And the same number of articles on this topic, in style - use words that describe your video, similar tags, etc. But how to understand what words will help to promote the video to the top is not clear.

Now I use vidIQ to view tags for other videos. Those. I watch videos on related topics with millions of views, look at their descriptions and tags, and do the same. I don’t completely copy, but I take some of the tags for myself, I paste some of my own - of course, all the tags fit my video, without cheating.
But this option seems to me not very good. maybe I'm competing with millionaires - I'm trying to fill their niche, which is useless.
