Listening to all the Youtube gurus is like being in college. You go to each class, get the information and in the real world you learn what to apply and how to apply it.  It takes time and effort. Experience is the best teacher.

@DoggsLife2019

Sorry but vidiq and channel makers videos are not teaching tools they are commercials for you to buy thier coarse and products

@MagicalFuse

Even if you follow SEO methods , still you need a lot of luck to get noticed by many others

@Dr-Groove-AI

The biggest issue with a lot of advice, is that every who makes content not only uploads different content but also from different parts of the world, and there isn't one method that works for everyone. YouTube is also always poking their finger in their system, consistently making changes. Like one of my videos got 50 views in 5 days, just in the last two days it's spiked to 110 but my recent video is stuck on 4 views. YouTube doesn't want you to know how their system works to ensure people aren't abusing the system. 

YouTube is also more and more filled with clickbait, low-effort content, reaction channels, brain rot and more.. when most of the content on youtube is either trying to fool the viewer with clickbait titles, red arrows and circles, filling 10 minutes worth of fluf to get ads to show up and filling their content with sponsors, I can see why people like myself struggle to get anywhere, because people like myself who just want to share content that's normal and genuine, it pales in comparison with the endless boat loads of brain rot being uploaded, so much so that the good stuff gets lost. 

With all of this, this is why I believe "blow up on youtube" "growing on YouTube" is a lot based on luck and if you're lucky enough for youtube to take one of your videos and show it more and more. YouTube is the one that decides how many impressions your video gets.

@kevinsphilippineadventures

Conflicting advice is what frustrates me. For example, one guru saying "at the your video always link to a playlist so that they have options to choose from." but then another guru says "never link to a playlist! Only link to a specific video!" And then other conflicting advice like "never turn this feature on/off" and then "yeah, that feature doesn't really matter too much." UGHH

@WildWoods_Gaming

Honestly YouTube advice helps, but experience helps infinitely. With more videos you can discover how you want to make videos and your editing style. You can pump out videos and make them better every time, that’s what’s best in my opinion. Experience is king.

@Spacemarine658

I think the bigger issue isn't that most advice is bad, its that people have trouble applying advice selectively. For example I'm a tutorial/educational style channel what works for my thumbnails isn't the same as say someone making gaming videos, that doesn't mean their advice for thumbnails is bad just that it isn't applicable to my channel. And even then that's not always true.

@CookingWithAlphaDior

To be honest some of it is. You can post and share all day long HOWEVER   the algorithm may share your work or may not therefore you can take in all the advice you want it’s like a lottery. Simple!

@SportsTymeStories-h8x

Literally every week we see the same old same repeated washed and rewashed. So it's clearly working for somebody but not necessarily for those it's alleged or intended for. If it ever was even in the first place.

@caius_caius

Honestly, the only real winner here is the guy running this channel. He's the one coming up with new things for people to believe in, promising growth and success, but in reality—after reading all these comments—it seems like none of it actually works. He's getting hundreds of thousands of views and making a living off of people chasing shortcuts that rarely deliver. It's clever marketing, but let's be honest: he's winning because we're watching.

@MSHTVOfficial

I don’t completely understand the sports analogy.  Normally coaches have the knowledge but lacked the athleticism, height, or are too old to play.  So what are the factors that keep YouTube coaches from achieving the same success as the creators they coach?

@Gamer_Playz100

Every channel is unique. Take advice but do so not holding yourself to the highest standards. The algorithm is the wildcard that makes YouTube advice a bit tricky

@StudioOfArt1

So why am I watching this video then?

@Smalleyster

In my over two years of trying to monetize all of the advice I've tried turns out to be of no use.

@X-BlueDivision

Okay, I’ll be honest! Every now and then, there are a few good tips that you wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. But the longer you deal with YouTube, the more you realize that some factors are simply out of your control, no matter how good you are!

The best path to success can be summed up in one sentence:
Consistently and persistently deliver quality content, without letting failures or slow progress get to you.

And then there’s the other side of the coin:
Most advice videos mainly help the channels that make those advice videos. As harsh as it sounds, they live off people’s curiosity and inexperience :)
It’s like all those “Let me show you how to quickly get to this or that result” videos. I’d even go so far as to call it clickbait, because anyone who’s spent more than a few months seriously working with YouTube knows how it really works.
You don’t need a flood of videos that all say the same thing in different words.

Okay, I didn’t mean to write this much, but that’s just my take on it!
Still, your content is good, and I really enjoy your live streams. :P
(Even if a lot of people probably see the whole “channel review” thing as a bit of a lottery to get smaller channels some extra attention :))

@cbnewham_ai

Nearly all the advice can be obtained by looking at what other YouTubers have done and applying a bit of common sense. However, such is the requirement for quick fixes, there are plenty of people who post up videos such as "Do THIS to your thumbnails and get 20 MILLION views within a WEEK". These videos exist solely to get the views for the authors - not to help YOU. 😉

@StuFliesAroundCornwall

I find a lot of the advice isn’t relevant to the content I create at the moment. I have improved my thumbnails and titles though.

@hyypio764

It's great for beginners, but after that, I would 100% recommend reading actual books on things like scripting, editing and storytelling. They help infinitely more than these youtube advice videos.

@Grumpzilla_plays

Most of the advice is kinda useless and doesn’t help but there are some nuggets that have helped like adding the link to your newest content to older videos. But realistically, experience is the best tutor. Only been doing this 6 weeks and I’ve learned so much. Like the average attention span of a short viewer is about 10s 😂

@CraftItOut

I'm doing so much hard work just to get 1 subscriber in a week 😵‍💫
