Get in fights with them on twitter. Figure out what buttons to press to make sure they respond. Drama = views.

Interesting. I'll keep that in mind. Is there a more subtle way? Like, if they've already posted their video in Forum X, how do I post mine without looking like a rip-off? Despite being first? All I can think of is making a sockpuppet and saying "These guys did it better." If I go in as myself, people will see our similar content and pressure us to collab. That would be better than the current situation, at least. We wouldn't be firing broadsides at each other, but I also don't get to take the ultra-high road and pretend they didn't copy me.

if you've been actively working on your channel for three years and have 500 subs, you might wanna reconsider spendig your time on this. How many overall channel views do u have?

Been getting about 500 a month ever since we started our current series. Hit 10k lifetime views recently. What's annoying is that we went from almost nothing to about 500/month, and it hasn't budged. We're effectively stuck in neutral, because I lack the wisdom and narcissism I need to shamelessly promote the channel. YT has decided we're worth 500-600 views a month, and despite rentention on these videos nearly doubling over the past 18 months we aren't worth any more to YT's algorithm. The incoming competition has made the situation urgent: They WILL get better over time if they keep trying, and I will die. I want to make a bold move that won't jeopardize our potential future success (ie "Can you believe what they said on Twitter five years ago?") because I feel we can make it. But we need the exposure.

how often do you make videos? Almost a year ago i started a channel which got 1k subs in about 2 months and then stagnated for about 4 months. I was outputting maybe 3 videos per month, so i bumped it up to 2 videos per week and started to see tons of growth. Unfortunately my channel was deleted by YT about a month after i bumped up the output. At the time of deletion my channel had 1.5m views, 3k subs and had earned me $1,200. Producing lots of videos is key.

i think the number of situations where starting drama with other channels is a good idea is very very small.Work on attractive thumbnails. bold colors, faces, huge font. Look at Pewdiepie for ideas. Sometimes the simplest thumbnails are the hardest to resist (i.e. one single word that takes up the whole thumbnail). Also like I said >>2320886
make lots of vids.
All it takes is one breakout video getting 15K views to jumpstart things

We make one every two weeks. Takes 8-15 hours to produce. I know it's not optimal, but I didn't realize how high the threshold was for gaining a following. I'm also a normie with a dayjob, so making more videos would require cutting out my social life or my attention to quality. (Getting some other schlub to do the dirty work counts as a hit to quality).

So basically, I'm under YT's work threshold. All righty. How useful was off-site marketing to you? Would it be worth going to where fans of this content reside and shilling it? What's a polite way to do it?

Our thumbnails are decent, but I'll see if there's somethign useful I can glean from the higher-tier YTers (that doesn't involve plastering my face all over it).

Thanks, man

i never paid for any advertising. I did make several reddit accounts and upvote my own videos on smaller subs. Thats risky though, they'll lose their shit if they find out you're self promoting

>>2321036
Use alot of camera cuts,
"Charisma on command" has a great video that shows why Pewdiepie's videos are so successful

Thank God I don't have to deal with this prick in real life.

There are ways to spice up my content with his techniques, but I'll need to use a little finesse. I agree with the comparison to stand-up comedians: You're throwing so many emotions at the audience that they're never truly bored. The brain is left trying to process everything they're witnessing.

Sounds like I should make a 'viral' version of what I already do. Draw them in with something whacky (yet related to the normal content), then keep pumping out what I'm good at doing.
