On YouTube, you can have the:
1. Most retention optimized script ever
2. Coolest editing everyone has ever seen
3. Elite storytelling and pacing
4. ultra 4k hd camera straight from hollywood
But if your idea is shit
the rest of it is shit
and it won't perform
One of the most common mistakes I see in Shorts:
Views drop but creators keep doing exactly what worked before.
Hoping it comes back.
In most cases it won't.
When the market moves you have to move with it.
What to do instead:
Study adjacent niches and see what's working there.
- What editing style are they using?
- What's the pacing like?
- How are they structuring hooks and payoffs?
- What music are they using?
Take what's trending and integrate it into your content.
Your niche probably isn't dead, but the format is likely outdated.
YouTube deleted our channel for being "harmful and dangerous."
Our content since 2015: #Bitcoin education. Wallet tutorials. Objective news.
YouTube's content: crypto scam ads running 24/7 with zero moderation.
Appeal rejected. No strikes. No explanation. Just an algorithm that can't tell a 10-year-old company from an actual scam.
@TeamYouTube — can we get a human, or do we need to buy an ad first?
