YouTube growth is filled with misconceptions that can derail creators, from the myth that subscribers equal views to false beliefs about how the algorithm works with your viewing habits.
• Subscribers don't equal views - a channel with thousands of subscribers might still struggle with low viewership
• Creator burnout is real and it's okay to take breaks when content creation isn't paying your bills
• Your viewing habits have zero impact on how YouTube promotes your videos
• Content buckets strategy works best when organized by traffic source: Browse (storytelling), Search (solutions), and Shorts (promotion)
• Finding your "superpower" as a creator helps you stand out in saturated niches like gaming
• Reading competitors' comments reveals market gaps you can fill with your content
• Creating an "avatar account" that only watches your niche content helps you understand what YouTube promotes
• Testing new content regularly prevents stagnation and helps break growth plateaus
• YouTube can profoundly impact lives beyond metrics - from finding spouses to landing dream jobs
