i just think marginalized creators should also be given the grace to make stuff they like without the pressure of it having to be a masterpiece or the pressures of being a voice for their entire community
This is the easiest way to instantly 10x your views without making more content.
Plan out the second, third, and fourth lives of your content.
The brands that win social media in 2026 are showing up in EVERYONE'S feeds, many times per day, on every platform. Not just on one platform, once or twice per day.
Today is the day!!! I am Frankelda is now on Netflix worldwide💙❤️this movie is dedicated to all the artist that feel like their work is not valid in any way. Our souls are made out of ink, and as long as we keep on existing we will keep creating
I remember watching this in 6th grade class, and for the life of me I couldn’t remember the name of this short. But I had absolutely NO IDEA it was directed by THE Chuck Jones.
How to actually find winning ideas (save this)
1. Find the 10x outliers in your niche
Open 1of10 and sort by outlier score
Look for videos that got 10x more views than the channel's average
2. Ask WHY it worked
Don't just copy the topic, but instead find the psychological reason why it worked, for example:
- Asymmetric payoff (small effort, huge result)
- Curiosity gap (incomplete information)
- Contrarian claim (challenges belief)
3. Steal formats
"The Rise and Fall of [X]" is a format
"The Dark Side of [Y]" is a format
"What Everyone Gets Wrong About [Z]" is a format
The 1of10 Trending Formats feature shows you exactly which formats are rising vs dying right now with average outlier scores
4. Leave your niche
And this one is super underrated..
Search 3-4 adjacent niches and find their outliers
Bring winning formats to YOUR niche before anyone else does
5. Remix 2 viral concepts
Nothing is original.. everything is just new combinations
So find 2 high outlier score videos and blend their formats together
6. Study your own outliers
Which of YOUR videos performed really well?
That's the content your audience actually wants
Double down on those formats/angles
Ideas are everywhere but you just need to train your eye to see the patterns, because in the end, YouTube is all about pattern recognition

I Am Frankelda: Mexico's First Stop-Motion Feature:
Cartoon Brew interviewed sibling filmmakers Arturo and Roy Ambriz about the creation of I Am Frankelda (Soy Frankelda). The fantasy musical is Mexico's first feature-length stop-motion film and serves as a prequel to their acclaimed series, Frankelda's Book of Spooks.
Production and Self-Funding
Originally commissioned by Warner Bros. Discovery as a half-hour special, the Ambriz brothers ambitiously decided to scale the project into a feature film. Because arts financing in Mexico is notoriously difficult to secure, they took the risk of self-funding the rest of the production. To manage their limited budget, they adopted a highly agile process—writing, editing, building, and animating simultaneously rather than following a traditional, staggered timeline.
Success and Mentorship
Guillermo del Toro acted as a vital mentor throughout the production. He advised the brothers on camera movements, character emotional arcs, and editing, helping them trim the film's runtime to better suit general audiences.
With del Toro's help in securing local distribution, the film premiered in Mexico in 2025 and became a monumental success. It grossed $50 million, making it the highest-earning animated film in Mexico since the pandemic. Following its domestic triumph, Netflix acquired the film for international distribution.
Championing Mexican Animation
The brothers operate Cinema Fantasma, an independent stop-motion studio in Mexico City that employed over 100 people during the making of the film. They are deeply committed to fostering a local animation industry and offer classes to young Mexican artists, teaching them how to produce art locally rather than relying on the US studio system.
Despite current global contractions in the animation industry, the brothers remain optimistic. Having always navigated a local environment without a structured industry safety net, they feel well-equipped to handle uncertainty and are currently developing their next feature, Battle of the Phoenix.

I was on a conference call with him once as we were both consulting on something and it was all i could do to keep myself from gushing like a dweeb.
In addition to everything else, his taste in hats is impeccable.
There's this idea in animation Twitter that kids live in this bubble totally unaware of the wider world.
Motherfucker, kids in my school were wearing "They killed Kenny!" T-shirts and mimicking Beavis and Butthead. We weren't sequestered away like nuns.
