Description: Today I wanted to talk about my experience with sudden growth on the platform and how I've come to understand the YouTube algorithm. Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/devoncrawford I see many negative associations with the YouTube algorithm. People say it creates pressure and suppresses creative content in favor of consistency. In this video, I wanted to share an alternate opinion as I've posted hundreds of videos on the platform and only recently experienced sudden growth. Yes, the platform is becoming more difficult to succeed, but what inspires me is that the algorithm is actively searching for high-value content to put on a pedestal. If you have a small audience but you put out a video that has very high value, chances are the algorithm will pick it up. I have seen this time and time again, with not only my channel but many others as well. I believe the algorithm is working very well and it is quite motivating to see my own high-value videos get more views. I know this video may seem very generic and unhelpful because it sounds like I am stating the obvious. I made this video because for years I posted random content on YouTube and wondered why it never got views. The only missing piece was putting myself in a strangers perspective and thinking about the value I am providing to them. Once I figured out how to convey my passions and interests in a way that would provide high value to strangers, everything worked out. I'm not saying it's easy or that I have it all figured out - but it is damn exciting that growth like this is still possible for the little guys.
