That video said to ensure that the tube from the bleed valve to the bottle (which sits on the floor face up - tube submerged) routes itself ABOVE the nipple, so air escapes upwards and can't get back into the caliper.

So the tube arcs upwards and then down into the bottle. That's correct?
Its best to keep the whole bleed setup above hub level. This also prevents air leak around the threads of the bleed bolt as its submerged under brake fluid weight.

If you are seeing consistent bubbles then you need to keep bleeding it, or you may have air trapped in the master cylinder.
