INSIGHT

YouTube Is Still Core Video Real Estate

YouTube remains the primary catalog for video content and discovery, even as text-based AI grows.
Video retains unmatched value because people still go to watch tutorials and demonstrations on YouTube.

INSIGHT

Algorithm Favors Video Merit Over Subscriber Count

YouTube now behaves more like a meritocracy where each video's quality determines reach.
Even small channels can break through with a strong title, thumbnail, and watch metrics.

ADVICE

Be A Video Authority, Not Just Entertaining

Build 'video authority' rather than chasing viral entertainment if you want paying clients.
Focus videos on topics where you can take viewers off-platform and convert them into customers.
