      Yeah, I know there are a few things I can do to help my videos gain traction: Make a custom thumbnail, add hashtags, use chapters… and I do that, but apart from that, I think consistency, authenticity, and patience are the most important qualities in being a content creator.

      My best-performing video is a small tutorial for “teaching” YouTube’s algorithm to stop feeding you AI Slop, after all. I think people really want authenticity.
