    That only works if you’re making content worth watching though.

    Get good, then get fast, is my opinion.

      True.

      The “pop off” part is in having a good formula.

      If you put 700 videos of shit formula in the can, you have 700 shit videos, you’re exhausted, and you will never pop off.

      You rite.

        Also, I’d rather take my time and create something I can be proud of.

        There’s not enough money in YouTube to do it any other way, in my view.

      Yea making videos that have some quality and originality works if you’re actually trying and not just hoping you get lucky by being a douchbro who screams at stuff for kids to watch. Consistency over long periods of time seems to help too. I’m not talking just posting every day or week. Could be one video every 2 weeks or monthly. Just needa to be on a schedule that people can look forward to.

      I have a channel that I’ve posted 3 videos on with no consistency and about wildly non related topics and they’ve each had like 500 to 600 views without me promoting anywhere cause it’s stuff I find interesting or stuff people hadn’t seen/considered before. Just takes a dozen hours of editing to make it easy on the eyes and understandable. I’m not even trying to YouTube, I just do it when it strikes my fancy.

        I’ve done the same, posted a few videos I’ve made with no hope of ever getting monetized. Most of the people watching them are actually people who do same sport, and many I know personally, which is cool.
