RE: Thanking the YouTube algorithm (appreciation diary #3)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Thanks man! I hope the titles don't have to be too cringe or clickbaity. I'm trying to figure out what niche this belongs to. Podcasting isn't much of a niche on YouTube. The only podcasts that are easy to find are news on certain stuff gaming sports and stuff like that. Travel is the closest one I can think of or language learning. Although when I talk to Javier or Ching Yi it can get a little self-development.
I don't want to try and pull too randomly cause there are some pretty ruthless thumbs downers and 5 second clicks really hurt you in the algorithm

Things like 'I Asked People From X What They Think of Y!' will always work. It's just engaging. Thumbnail absolutely matters too. The fact you added flags into the title also definitely helped since it's again engaging.
In general audiences on YouTube actually really like content on culture and travel. I'm sure you absolutely know of the Paolo guy in Japan that makes videos on random jobs in Japan. Things like that really take off, where you show a glimpse of another culture with ordinary people and share their opinions and thoughts on things.
I actually have a little dream of doing something similar. Running around different locations and finding stories to share with the world. It's my next attempt at life since I'll most likely quit the more professional side of the film industry soon.
