Let's discuss with your experiences and logical analyses!

I've recently noticed that entertainment channels like "Lui monaka" and "Rhyme Battle Union" tend to grow faster on YouTube's algorithm, while educational or DIY channels struggle to gain traction. I get that engagement metrics (likes, comments, shares) are a big factor, but I feel like there's more to it than that.
When starting a new channel, I always focus on narrowing down the target audience and hooking viewers within the first 30 seconds of the video. Since YouTube prioritizes watch time, I think it's crucial to craft videos in a way that makes the algorithm think, "This is entertaining!" Also, thumbnails play a huge role in click-through rates, so I constantly run A/B tests to compare different designs. It's tough, but I believe the best approach is to obsess over creating a structure that makes your content more discoverable.
