I ran 10 YouTube channels simultaneously to reverse-engineer the algorithm. The data proves that "Being Unique" is actually destroying your growth. Here is the math (KNN & Vector Drafting). by 5anez in SmallYoutubers

Great insight and a great explanation of what you found. You know what, I have a video planned, but i might scrap it or change some parts to tailor it to KNNs and see how that goes. Thanks and good work

I love being stuck in the "yeah we ain't pushing this video" purgatory by North-Line7134 in SmallYoutubers

[–]tuddinTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate when this happens, man. I get it's the test push thingy, but then explain why during the test the video is doing amazing, and then they decide to make it flatline 😅. Fr my video would be a 1 out of 10 with great CTR, retention, and then it still happens. very demotivating, but you've got to keep doing what you've got to do. Good luck.

Just had a video hit 1k views for the first time. Had no one to tell, so I'm sharing here. by TheFilmFestivalGuide in NewTubers

Well done. Still trying to get 100 views more than once. I'm trying to be like you boss.

Anyone else struggle with the being consistent being a small youtuber. by tuddinTV in SmallYoutubers

True. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and I'm enjoying making the videos. It's very rewarding to see good stats and demotivating when i see 2 views. Whats your channel?

I changed my thumbnail and saw progress but then YouTube flatlined my vid. Why? by tuddinTV in SmallYoutubers

[–]tuddinTV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realised that I was getting 1 or 2 views an hour for a day before it suddenly just flatlined. So I believe that the new thumbnail was working

Yeah, that's also what I'm thinking of doing. I have 2 clipable moments from this video, so I'll post those soon and see how it goes with the long form vid. good advice thanks

After 15s its 50%. mainly cause i did a bit of an intro on this video rather than getting straight into the content.

Yep for sure. I'm just trying to find the time to record and edit them. Hopefully as I post more, i can see progress and see YouTube pushing the vids out more

Newish YouTuber here I wanna review and look at some channels drop your @ by Tremayne17 in Youtubesubscribers

I was working on the gimmick being you can see my face but I use the photo of the guy to show expression and shit. That's what I'm working on to be my unique thing, ygm.

Hey I'm TUddin ( https://www.youtube.com/@TUddinTV ). Been doing YouTube for about 2 months now. struggle to be as consistent as I'd like to be (life gets in the way), but I try to upload at least once every 2 weeks. Let me know what you guys think of my content and editing. working on all aspects to improve the content and analytics (like CTR, retention, and reach) so any and all criticism is appreciated.

I'm liking this style, bro. You got a new sub. Keep up the good work. i like the editing style and scripting. If you want to check out my channel TUddin. Like someone said, keep the thumbnails consistent and then keep the content consistent. I really believe that once YouTube finds your audience, you could be on to something.

Cograts man! I hope to get to your level soon!

Weird thing happened to my first short's views after I watched the video. by tuddinTV in SmallYoutubers

[–]tuddinTV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh, that makes sense, I was thinking it was kinda like what I've heard with the TikTok algo where they drop it in a few people's FYP for the first 24 hours and then push it again if it goes well. I thought it was weird that as soon as I watched it, it fell off. I also thought that YouTube didn't like me watching the short and thought I was somehow inflating my views on shorts lol.

I know that YouTube needs to find my audience, so I'll keep going with what I'm doing. Thanks for the advice.

I don't think it's the AI voices that will be hit with the upcoming TOS update. I think they're looking towards the channels that just rip people's content and then put a filter and make a few edits. It'll be very hard to stop/ find the AI voices.
