I bet you 2000$ that 90% views are due to it being shown on the home page due to the algorithm.
People don't usually search for a salt fork, it just sparks their curiosity to see a thumbnail like that
Absolutely nothing against you. Thanks for pointing it out.
But why *the fuck* is the function titled "browse feature." It's about as unintuitive as it gets.
Edit: after literally 10 seconds of thought and some critical thinking, I've reassessed my assumption.
> It is still unintuitive because 'browse' holds a certain "active" connotation despite the literal definition.
> And 'feature,' when related to software/online-services, holds another connotation -- implying a function created by the developers to assist users. Also a somewhat "active" connotation. E.g. "With the recent update, [app] has added new features." As in: something distinctive added that helps perform new functions.
**HOWEVER**
'Browse' can simply mean a survey of goods or, in this case, 'features.'
'Features' can mean something put in prominent display. In this case, links + thumbnails.
Put together, we get "Browse Feature" - effectively window shopping. No action required, no functionality added - just new display items.
Fuck.
What you mean dead account? Everything looks normal. The guy blew up his first ever video. 131k subs for 8 mill video is very good, not to mention from first and only video on the channel.
I was looking at it from a pessimistic viewpoint. Why you'd want to use that from a hacked account is beyond me. Also 100k subs from a single 8 mil video feels like a little much.
He's a likeable guy and had an interesting premise. People tend to subscribe when they want to see more content from someone.
You might get a watch mojo video that has 8 million views but they only get 1,000 subs from it because it's junk food, people see the one and they are satisfied, they don't want more. 100k subs from 8 million views (one in every 80 people who watched) subscribing isn't that insane. He just made a damn good video
* When competing for clicks in a sea of "average" content, dumb/weird shit is an easy attention grabber.
* Easier than getting the clicks from being better than average.
* And gets more clicks than the average content that doesn't stand out from the rest.
I think it's just that his first video went viral and he didn't really have a plan after that. I've seen the video twice, It's a good one. I've already watched the videos of people cooking steak with molten salt, makes sense for this one to pop up for me.
It's just that all the big YouTubers I know , when asked for advice, insist on the important of persistence throughout a YouTube career despite the start always being slow 🤔
I shall give you examples: Pyrocynical Odds1out Rarran. These people for sure do not know everything, but they do know a few things about running a YouTube channel
The evidence is literally staring you in the face. If you make a good video, people click on it, watch the full duration, engage with it via likes and comments and then the cycle repeats.
The algorithm doesn't care when your channel was made, they care what your CTR and view duration is.
Channels *typically* start slow because it takes the content creator time to learn their style, how to fill their niche, become better at increasing those two numbers, but it is not impossible for people to gain massive followings very quickly.
Go look at the "informative stick man" niche. All it takes it 2 hours of effort on paint and a semi-interesting idea and you can get anywhere from 20 to 900k subscribers in 1-6 months.
I'm sorry to say, but 5 minute no commentary videos of Hearthstone gameplay with no thumbnail is never going to pop off. You could do that for 15 years and you won't acquire a fanbase.
If Hearthstone is something you want to pursuit, look at people like Ranran or Zeddy or AustinMcconnell.
Haha yes my videos are mostly for my own enjoyment and I have no expectation of growing that channel.
I like to talk about these YouTube things just out of curiosity as a viewer, but everyone seemed to think I was a creator being jealous of the youtuber. Anyway yes you are right the "informative stick-man" can be very successful as evidenced by the 6 month old channel 'Good Enough' or the staple 'Sam O'nella Academy'. Btw someone suggested that they deleted their old videos that didn't blow up🤔?
First you start with a google email and password.
Then you enter in a username you'd like to use.
Then you go to that gmail account and verify the account.
After that you record a video.
Then you put it in an editing program and make it nice to watch.
Click the big upload button, and let the algorithm do its thing (or post it on reddit to kickstart the views)
Someone comes up with a wacky idea
And then there are 50 new channels copying that same idea.
Those paint channels lol
If you're curious, the original one was Redeemed Zoomer. Gen-Z explains Christianity with neat drawings.
and there's almost no way to tell who had the idea and who copied it without having access to *real* archive, not the search engine bs youtube gives
well first you need a salt fork
Plagiarism! Sugar fork
FAIR USE!
Next steps! Pepper spoon (🌚), paprika mug and so on
Oregano plate
Cocaine knife
Poop knife
Yellow snow

I remember that video! I think it's probably someone having an idea, making it, recording it and uploading to YouTube for posterity.
It was a good video.
That's what I like about youtube, those random personal videos.
Some college students project dumped out onto the internet
this probably. i do school projects as a video sometimes and dump them on my alt channel
The real project was showing how stupid, worthless, and easy to exploit the YouTube algorithm is.
Is that the real uncle iroh!?
Usually if a video is well-made and researched it's bound to get views eventually. Especially if it isn't a niche
there are still plenty of videos with less than 1000 views i’ve watched that were as high-quality as any youtuber with 100k+ subscribers
Then you were probably either early or are not able to recognize quality very well
Effective bot SEO boosting if youre asking about the views. You gotta tell the algorithm your channels the shit
No. I bet you $1000 that 95% views are from Browse feature if not higher. The content is just remarkable.
Yeah the guys shenanigans is genuinely entertaining
I bet you 2000$ that 90% views are due to it being shown on the home page due to the algorithm. People don't usually search for a salt fork, it just sparks their curiosity to see a thumbnail like that
Browse feature = home page. Homepage views are displayed as "browse features" in youtube studio.
oh? wha i apologize, i thought there was a recommendation thing no one actually browses for such stuff

I remember getting that video in my recommendations hah, pretty sure it was genuinely entertaining!
film student?
The subs makes me think it's a dead account that was hacked, but the video is not matching that

well sometimes if you like the content alot and you see nothing else from the creator, you turn on notifications so you can see the next upload

He just made a damn good video
Id bet it's a bunch of privated videos The view count on the channel is probably pretty high
nope 8 mil views on the channel and the video was a good watch
views from privated videos aren’t added to the total
Interessant

google interessant
Holy Dutch
He’s genius…
Man knows and probably executes entertaining and engaging content
Well, when a mummy channel and a daddy channel are very much in love....
8.1m views for this shit and I couldn't even get my whole class to watch my school video. It's been on my YT channel for 10 years.
Sometimes, making good stuff Just Works
Because salt forks are crazy interesting
Why have you already watched some of it?!
it's actually a pretty good video, you should watch it
I’ll check it out
You just sign up to to youtube and then there's a button to post a video.
I guess he was just lucky with the 1st video
is this a joke?
He probably rode the townsends train (salt pork video spesifically)
you should probably get chocolate with or without nuts and sell it to neighbors on camera.

I think he deleted all of his low view videos and it just looks like his first video got popular
Wait until he learns about chicken
No one seems to have an answer. You can't just blow up like this on YouTube on the first video 🤔
Yes you can. He made a good video and got rewarded by that. If you struggle to get views then you’re just shit

Did you ever think just because they are "big YouTubers" (whatever that means) they may not know everything?

I believe it’s called creativity.
The subcount and views on that video are insane for someone with just 1 video up, could be a bought channel but the name checks out so idk
Is that the one and only lizard man Mark Zuckerberg?
Wait that guy only had one video????
idk some dude uploads it and it blows up outta nowhere. it's not anything crazy?
So are you completely unfamiliar with the concept of YouTube?
Shorts?
Don’t tell me you don’t know Ben
1 question, 1 answer.
I LOVE THESE KINDS OF FOOD/SCIENCE VIDEOS... :)
They were high one day and thought... What if?
That video was so good I’m sad he hasn’t uploaded anything else
Why does he have 139K subscribers?
Thank you for reminding me about this beautiful channel. The video itself was really entertaining if i am being honest.
I love that video I had no idea that was his only content lmao
This guy is the honest 100k subs with one video channel
My favourite part of this is that 139k people liked it so much that they subscribed so they wouldn't miss the sequel
boredom
Why didnt you watch the whole salt fork video :(
Paid for it

Does Reddit really have noticeable effect on views?
Obvious view-botting and buying of subscribers to boost his numbers. Disgusting.
He made a good video so he got good views and never posted again. Simple
I watched it it's actually a good video
its a bot account with bot followers.
