I’ve been collecting @MrBeast quotes about YouTube for years, and these are my favorites: 1. You think your videos are good, but they suck. They just do. And the sooner you learn how to make great videos that people actually wanna watch, the sooner you'll get views. 2. Your first video is not gonna get views, period. Your first 10 are not gonna get views. So stop sitting there and thinking for months and months on end and just get to work and start uploading. 3. Anytime you say the word algorithm, just replace it with “audience” and it works perfectly. The algorithm didn't like that video? No, the audience didn't like that video. 4. You wanna assure people that what they clicked on is what they're getting and then blow their mind and be like, but you're also getting even more. That's how you lower drop off. 5. The longer people watch something, the more likely they are to keep watching. So you don't have to try as hard in the back half of a video as you do it in the front. 6. If you knew what I knew, you could get 10 million views of video and you could get 10 million subscribers no matter where you are right now within six months. It really is just knowledge. 7. A lot of small YouTubers post videos that aren't bad but they're not great. They just do that and none of them ever pop off so they never get an audience. Where it might be better to upload half or a third or even a fifth of the videos but make the videos you upload so freaking good that the algorithm has to promote it. 8. A lot of times people have horrible friend groups 'cause you really are the type of YouTubers you hang around. 9. A big thing that everyone underestimates is - what was your experience with your last video? If people loved the last video of yours that they watched, they're more likely to watch your next one. All direct quotes.
