Thousands of YouTube Channels Died ONE Video Before Going Viral

Imagine how many channels died because people released 10 videos and gave up when they didnt see the results they hoped for and felt like they deserved, the 11th video could have been their viral one but it just didnt happen.

Imagine this was RyansToyReview/Ryans World for example, the biggest childrens channel ever created on YouTube. They were not an overnight success, I remember seeing their beginnings commenting on other kids channels "check out my kids channel" (including on my own - this is why I know this as factual) to get viewers to theirs. They did blow up massively and quite early but they could have easily given up just before going viral.

This may be you, thinking of giving up, sick of low views and poor engagement. You could be one step away from blowing up just like them. That idea you have, that goal you have in your mind. Stick at it. Dont give up!

I wish I could go back to when all the haters started showing up to my channel years ago. At the time it made me get too anxious to post, but had I been able to ride the wave it would have probably been the true point my channel took off. Those people were following me around and giving me engagement on everything and all I had to do was respond something like "Thanks! So glad you stopped by!" And it would make them even more furious and they'd be like "Keep pretending I like your videos all you want but --- --- -- !!!" In a way haters can be your best gift, just find the right way to rile them up while still looking cooler than them to any rational person and you've got an endless farm of engagement lol. TAKE ME BACK YOUTUBE GODS! TAKE ME BACK!

Theres a lot of ragebait content on YT and TikTok which is the perfect example. Many people will deliberately mess up to increase engagement. Like they can write obvious spelling mistakes in the captions and play on it or deliberately say controversial things especially in titles to get clicks. Some people have entire incomes off the backs of posting stuff to wind people up lol haters if you cant love em, monetise em

I shoot too straight to be trolling like that haha but honestly if I wanted to step into some serious controversy, all I'd have to do is give my honest opinions on some real topics and believe me, I'd get it!
