Ultimately if it just comes down to making the best stuff you can and that you think will be interesting, then it’s a huge relief. The scary part is trusting your gut and just doing that 😬
Great video explained very well. I recently pivoted my channel and RUclips tells me that around 75 percent of my viewers are choosing not to view my new content. However I'm pretty confident that my new content is as good if not better than my old stuff but I just need RUclips to find a new audience for it. So the BIG question is, how many videos is this going to take before RUclips realises that it shouldn't keep recommending this new content to the old viewers.
Is it even possible to have multiple audiences as one channel? Like does the algorithm account for that or are you just shooting yourself in the foot by having a vide array of content?
it's quite sad but i think it'd be better for you to start over. when you have a million subscribers and only average about 10k views, your channel is pretty much dead.. you can't revive it. i know a million is alot, it was probably very hard for you to get there but they don't serve much purpose anymore. start afresh with your new better content and a new set of audience will find you. i'm sure you've learned alot in your youtube journey that you can apply to your new channel which will make the growth faster this time around. do not give up!
@@self4341 Thanks Self, very true. RUclips sent me an email last month to say that they're taking my monitization away as some of my videos break their new policy rules. They don't say which ones so I have to delete all of them to be absoultely sure I can get monitezed again. It's really sad but in a way it was probably for the best, as like you say the reality is I might as well start from scatch. Thanks for your kind words.
I learned all this through trial and error, but from the viewer side, not the content creator side. I noticed that when I click on a video that was recommended, it immediately changed the videos that were recommended on the main feed. But I usually didn't like the video. Then I learned that if I popped into my History (it's in the left sidebar) and removed the video from my list, it immediately cleared the recommendations from my feed. I've been shaping "The Algorithm" to my liking ever since. I usually watch new videos incognito just to see what I think, and then if I like it I'll "watch" it again not incognito, but in a separate window with the volume turned down (so it's still in the foreground even if I'm actually working on another window), and then do the usual commenting and subscribing to boost it further. It does really bother me that it stops recommending channels I love just because a few videos in a row didn't interest me. This is really a poor experience for viewers because it happens a lot. A channel where I watch 95% of the videos has a brief period where something is happening that needs coverage, but I'm not interested in that thing. So as a viewer I just ignore the videos and wait for that thing to be over so I can continue to watch the content I enjoy. As a quick recent example, Minecraft just had a Live event that talked about the next version coming out. I already watched the event so I know everything I need to know about it. But several channels I watch cover all that info anyway. I don't watch it because none of them is saying anything I don't already know. I just want to watch them play the game or make tutorials. But if that's all it takes then the channel isn't recommended to me anymore because I skipped a couple videos. Same thing comes up with channels that focus on one game at a time. Sometimes they play a game that doesn't interest me, so I take a break. Then a month or more passes before they start a new series that does interest me, but by then the channel is no longer in my feed, even though they've now started a series that definitely interests me. They really need to fix that experience. Just to be clear, they may have already made adjustments for this. I'm talking from years of prior experience, nothing recent. So I don't know for sure that it's still a problem. I'm just saying that if it is, it really needs a rework because that's not how real people work. Temporary disinterest doesn't immediately mean long-term disinterest.
“There is a low note that is resonating here. I’ll find it and let you know how to EQ it out” unfortunately nothing fun, just looks like a note from Harris to editor.
This is exactly why I make videos for "People" and not the algorithm!! I realize it'll take a "LOT" for my channel to grow and i'm 100% ok with that, but I take comfort in knowing that I make my videos for ppl to enjoy and if they want to sub, they can..... and if not, i still had fun making every video I've decided to upload!! 400 subscribers are not easy to come by so I appreciate everyone that watches!! Also, JUST GOT THAT COMMUNITY TAAAAAAAB lol!! Love your work Harris and Streambeats is one of the best things you could've done for creators
Exactly what I’m doing! It’s rewarding to see every subscriber notification and it encourages me to make even more videos for the people that want to see my content. I’m close to 370 subs and that means the world to me! I used to have only 10 making videos😅
Just got over 500 subs and unlocked the community tab too. Congrats! How did you get it with 400 subs? Did it appear automatically or did you have to apply?
@@LucaAnamaria you know what, that's a really good question that I wish I had the answer to 🤔🤔!! I didn't apply, I actually had been waiting to get my subs to 500 which will still take longer because I haven't uploaded in a while (I am still very active & vocal on RUclips though) I just woke up to an email and a notification on my channel that let me know I had the community tab!! I couldn't began to tell you how it happened 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️!! Congratulations on over 500 subs, don't take those ppl for granted and when you reach 1k, be just as humble then as you are now😁 I'm genuinely excited for you 😊 👏 👏
@@Leada1ne After I posted my comment, I saw a video saying that RUclips has started rolling out the community tab to all channels under 500 subs. Apparently, the update was announced a couple of weeks ago.
What I really need is a very easy to reach toggle that tells YT "this is NOT something I want more of, I just need this for the moment" Like when I repair my headphones, or replace my tail light, or ask myself wtf is in that thumbail?
Now it makes sense that videos that have launched to the top of RUclipsrs are responsible for their channel becoming so big. Thanks for sharing this with us👍
Thank you and I hope you're right! I was so afraid of uploading both long gaming playthroughs with shorts less than a minute and shorts videos over a minute but not as long as the gameplays 😩😩
The problem is that this approach simply forces creators to produce the same old stuff. I do international politics. I know what tends to work. I could just bang out video after video on that specific subject (as sone channels do). I could sit back and just enjoy the revenues. But I want to look at less covered areas. I know there is an audience, but it is slightly different from my usual audience. But because it doesn’t conform to the usual audience YT doesn’t push it out to them. It could. It wouldn’t be hard to do it. But it doesn’t. (Or certainly doesn’t do it well.) It’s actually really frustrating. This is a downside to the system. And I think it has got worse recently.
I got recommended this video, watched the whole video. And I disagree. Completely. I mean I understand the concept of "testing" the audience, but I feel like RUclips is lying to you - and is employing (or shall I say, deploying) an algorithm to peek on what you're doing. I uploaded a video, made it private, waited weeks, "PUBLISHED" the video, ONLY... ONLY to find out days later... its age-restricted. When you comment on videos, the algorithm removes comments that are not conducive to the platform it gets removed. This is why people call it the algorithm; a robot removing things at their own volition.
This is the kind of video that is really helpful for people trying to grow their channels and their communities. It dispels a lot of myths that other RUclipsrs keep putting out there. Thanks Harris!
Great video as always! On your last point - RUclips does not differentiate properly between livestream VODS & videos. If you stream daily it spams your subs with your VODS as if they're a proper edited video to your subscribers that don't watch your lives. Of course your lives will not match the quality of your videos, and nor with the thumbnails and so the algorithm defnitely punishes you across the board. Not only this, but it also spams people with your upcoming scheduled streams, actively annoying your subscribers to death. This ends up with you having 3+ vods/scheduled streams on viewers homepages at the same time, destroying your CTR when you actually post a video. But again, if the video is good, it's good and will blow up regardless. However, it seems to increase the lows you get when a video tanks (as the initial burst of viewers in the testing phase is a lot smaller) The most success I've noticed with other streamers/youtubers in this space with 100k+ subs that do well, is streaming less often, maybe once a week on a schedule - then focusing on having a killer title/thumbnail & posting the VOD. The VOD will get a great amount of views during the week and build anticipation towards the next stream! OR not posting your vods and keeping them members only. Genuinely if you want to stream daily and not spend hours focusing on a great thumbnail and title every single stream (which is exhausting) then Twitch is the best option.
Well now I have to test this with gameplay since that’s typically the hardest thing to appease for “the algorithm” in my opinion. Interesting and solo video!
This is insanely helpful. Thanks so much for making this content! Hoping to implement some of this stuff into my future videos and "think like a viewer". Keep the good stuff coming!!
Thanks for this! I know I need to work on my story telling… I also know that the only thing I have for consistency is that I’m consistently inconsistent. Unfortunately I have fun making such a wide array of videos that I struggle with it all 🤷♂️
Hey Harris! You’ll probably never see this but I’ll give it a shot anyways. Have you made any videos on how you make your streambeats? Or just how to make music in general? Like what software to use, how to use it, etc?
i completely agree with everything you say other then the fact that the algorithm doesn’t look at channels. i believe, to an extent, it does. if i don’t upload for 2-3 days (i’m a shorts youtuber) my analytics will dip like crazy. how can that be explained?
This video makes tons of sense! When I watch a video from you Harris, I end up seeing similar type videos in my recommended almost immediately. There are only a few RUclipsrs that make videos that I watch from beginning to end. And those always end up being the theme of my recommended videos.
If a video is "tested" by being recommended to people who have recently clicked on that RUclipsr's videos, as proven by your example of Captain Disillusion, doesn't that go against the quote you begged the question with? "The algorithm doesn't look at channels. The algorithm only looks at videos." - If the videos it looks at are being tested based on channels, than it looks at channels... no?
Just literally took the thoughts out of my brain that I want to tell to my friends. On other platforms this concept or idea explained can be different but the reality of RUclips is some videos, streams etc are just not as interesting to your audience sometimes. But learning to accept that and find ways to be more appealing for the future is a step we all will have to take going forward. Thanks Harris as always! … oh yeah Favorite emoji 🔱
Absolutely spot on. Excellent video once again 😊 Once I got my head around how audience profiles work it resulted in a very noticeable increase in growth and engagement on my channel and a much healthier work/life balance because I stopped worrying about “pleasing the algorithm” with videos just for the sake of it.
Do you ever experience desire that is so deep, so profound that you tear up from intensity? Emotions want to pour out? You've been a very helpful source of information since I've discovered you one, two months ago. Thanks Harris. 😎🙃
I heard someone replace the phrase "RUclips Algorithm" with the audience a while back. That perspective shift made the algorithm more understandable and has helped me understand why videos are/aren't doing well.
I had a video flop this morning and I immediately said to myself "what do I need to do differently". Made some adjustments and now I'm waiting to see what happens!🎃🎃🎃
I feel like RUclips needs to make a whole page called "RUclips Live" or something to make it easier to find live channels, i find it difficult to find live channels currently so maybe a change to that will help the live streaming on youtube? Just an idea! :) A lot of people from Twitch are transitioning to RUclips livestreaming and they are finding it so much better but also so much more difficult as well. If RUclips upgraded their livestreaming i think there would be a lotttt more people interacting with youtube especially from the gaming/twitch communities that want to transition. I hope this makes some sense to someone LMAO
Hidden message at 0:48 says "[Harris Heller Oct 24, 18:22] There is a low note that is resonating here. I'll find it and let you know how to EQ it out."
I feel like this is probably the most no-nonsense explanation as to how everything works. Had my own assumptions of it working in a similar way as to what you're describing, but I guess this confirms my hypotheses
I love this video for the information, but more because it highlights an important point for content creators: CONTENT IS KING. Spend less time thinking about pleasing the algorithm and more time into making the best content you can. 👍
Love the video as always, though 48 seconds in you left 1 frame with Production Notes "[Harris Heller OCT 34, 18:22] There is a low note that is resonating here. I'll find it an dlet you know how to EQ it out" That might be an interesting video idea...how you produce your video's from idea to final product. I know I would watch it.
Based video. I just started streaming and am really happy with the impressions. RUclips definitely pushes properly uploaded videos out to a lot of people. It’s just up to you to capture your audience. This is the basics of marketing
This makes a lot of sense but also completely explains why gaming RUclipsrs have such a hard time when their game starts to dwindle or they want to switch. Your own audience that you built up works against you in a way
I keep seeing Vtubers that I wasn't aware of previously. For instance, I'm pretty sure I am part of why PunkaLopi suddenly went super viral and exploded her audience in a week. Love her chaotic good energy, her shorts made me laugh a ton.😶🌫
I've found the algorithm can work against you a bit if you're trying to do something new. That's just the unfortunate consequence of these classifier algorithms. It doesn't know how to classify you or your audience, and the right people never get directed to your videos. That means that to build the audience you might have to help the algo out a bit by piggybacking on a related subject that is more popular. A section of those viewers then hopefully end up liking your more niche content, and youtube can start to build a better profile of your audience.
it's actually the audience that generally don't like it when your content is all over the place, people like consistency to some degree. When you reach too far out of their interest they won't view the videos, and so, the algorithm responds to the audience disengagement by trying with a new smaller audience that might like your new content.
Precisely, as a viewer I am absolutely livid with this algorithm. I need to get out of my way to train this idiot to give me different things, I have to think of new types of videos to search so that it "leans in that direction" and I hate this, it's not fun. I miss the golden days when the feed would have some random gems in it. I am literally afraid to click meta videos because I know it will riddle my feed with it afterwards and I have to spend some minutes spamming the button.
I honestly think that this is one of your best advice videos on growth due to its simplicity and clarity, or rather, a bit more directly saying that it's about the audience~
Thanks for sharing this with us, man. Thinking of the algorithm more as the audience helps put things into perspective a little better. Loving your videos lately!
Thanks so much for this video mate! This answers the many questions that I've had about RUclips as I make videos and livestream. Keep up the great work!
finally a realistic look at what matters on this topic!! love your content but i REALLY love your editor! forget his name but he is epic btw... incase you forgot for 22 seconds.
Personal observation: I sometimes got the feeling that how the algorithm tries to mimic real-person behaviour also depends on the behaviour of THE CREATOR... It may sound weird at first, but hear me out... I almost never comment under any videos. My Content is in Czech language and whole channel is set to that language as well. I also don't watch others from Czechia but spend my time watching videos in English be it someone like Draegast, LinusTechTips or You. That being said until recently my content was in 70% of viewers delivered to people livin in one of 2 countries that actually COULD understand me, The rest was from either England or USA. Few days ago I tried to watch few creators from my country and commented under said videos. Not only that just comentating alone spiked views a little, it also shifted the presented audience! This might need a fact-check by other "Non-English" channels.
Now that you say it, that makes a LOT of sense, actually! It makes me think the RUclips web developers didn't want to go through all that trouble of making the algorithm complex. I've noticed similar videos pop up when I click on them.
Great video Harris. I love all your content. Plus you got my attention for this video with the algorithm of the catch rates for Silver and gold. Good hook right there.
I mentioned part of this to a YT channel I watch, who started doing Streams in addition to the standard YT videos. They would post the stream a few hours, many hours, to even a day ahead of going live. I’m not sure if I am a typical consumer but I would check my YT feed for stuff I want to watch NOW, not in an hour from now, that evening or in a couple of days, but right then, that’s when I have the time and desire to watch some YT. It’s a very right now and not planned interaction and I have a lot of channels I’m subbed too so if this channel is not giving me the content I want there are a TON of others that are. Anyway, I see this channel I follow with a super familiar and insta recognizable thumbnail slip into my feed and I make a beeline to watching their video as I enjoy their content. I get the “stream starting soon” splash page but it’s actually in X number of days. I click off and find other content to watch. Now I am not sure if you have to be in a video/stream for a certain amount of time but I found that Stream wasn’t suggested to me again. So because the channel had posted the stream announcement in advance they had lost me from that stream. It happened a few more times after that so channel, same mistake. Then I lost that channel as a suggestion on my home/feed page because they had put up a stream announcement for a stream in a few hours+ of when I wanted to consume content. They didn’t differentiate the thumbnail so unless I read the title and video details that are under the thumbnail (which I never do) and so it cost them metrics. Creators need to up their game if they want to integrate streams into their channel. Common sense tips to consider: 1. This isn’t Twitch, doing it how you did it there isn’t going to work. Your not competing for my attention vs a bunch of other streamers. Advertising your streams in advance on twitch is fine as I am specifically visiting that platform to catch live content and be part of the show. So knowing when my favourite streamers are live in advance allows me to add that to my day. That doesn’t work on YT. 2. If you want to stream on YT, take time to understand YT consumer behaviour and take advantage of it, make it work for you rather than against you. YT is my day in and day out constant buddy, I watch on my iPad and that sucker goes everywhere with me, making breakfast and my kids school lunches I do it to the sounds of YT videos from my feed. Working and not in a meeting or on the phone then I have my YT feed playing. I want content now and I watch what’s suggested in my feed. The only time I use YT differently is when I discover a new YT channel, I like them and I watch their entire back catalogue in one sitting if possible. My point here is that my YT consumption is all about the here and now. It starts and usually ends with my feed, if your content is suggested to me but your a new channel, if I like it I’ll sub and either watch everything you post that makes it onto my feed or I will make your channel my background music/occasional diversion from work for my day. All you have to do is make a good initial first impression so I sub and then I’m sucking the figurative marrow from your channels bones, posting a stream 5 hours from now is not the way to do it. 3. Assume that YT and your viewers are not going to lift a finger to adapt to you wanting to stream. Twitch is shooting itself in the foot right now and YT is happy to offer you a fair deal to stream with them but it’s really all a gimme freebie bonus. They might give you a few new bells and whistles but dramatically changing their UI or worse creating a new Pavlovian response in their audience will likely never happen. I’ve heard reports that YT streams might have their own category on your channel and other adjust,ents that will help might be in the works, but don’t craft your content and your strategy assuming that. Instead create content and strategies that don’t need that assistance. Not only will your metrics improve because your strat and content work with YT and your viewers habits than against it, but it will also put you miles ahead of other creators further boosting your metrics as they bash their brains out on the wall of “coming over from twitch inflexibility”.
I've noticed trends more than individual channels, ei subjects or hobbies. First it was sewing, then dog grooming, then landscaping (its all about the transformation for me, so I guess I can see the link). Most recently that I can think of is puzzles. Sprinkled in throughout there is Japanese culture videos, like a couple where one is white, the other is Japanese and they have cats, or white people born and raised in Japan. Don't get me wrong, its fascinating, but I wish I could tweak it just a little. Like my boss is Chinese, I'd like to learn more about Chinese culture.
This is an extremely interesting topic. I am studying algorithms in college right now, so this is something that I find particularly cool. Also, your videos are just really clean all around, so I find them pleasant to watch. Thanks for the insights. Favorite emoji: 😎
So then my only question I am left asking relates to the ending of this video where you discuss how having poorly performing live streams on your channel can negatively affect the performance of your future videos because the algorithm assumes that your audience that it can recommend your videos to isn’t going to like them because they haven’t liked your previous live streams. My question is is that also the case with RUclips shorts where if you’re uploading two or three shorts and one of them blows up and gets 1000 views but the other two don’t go anywhere and only get 10 views are those dead RUclips shorts going to then negatively impact the performance of your following videos
The part that I have trouble with is how RUclips decides that a video is 'good'. This will generally be by engagement, so it makes sense that larger youtubers will see more engagement on their videos than smaller channels - due to them already having a substantial fan base. Given two similar videos, the one from the larger creator will generally get offered in preference to the smaller creator (especially when hitting search terms).
You are correct but it is much less a factor than you might think. There are channels with over a million subs that get less traffic than my 70k sub channel. There are channels a quarter my size in the same niche who outperform me. These are exceptions to the general rule but it does show how the little guy can take advantage. The size-beats-all problem is IMO way less of a problem on YT than anywhere, though it does exist.
For sure. We’ve all seen the channels that have several thousand views on each video and they’re fantastic. Then the big channels have the same video topic and it ain’t good. But that channel has the 400 K views or some bs.
so im a lil curious if you have any information i could use with VTubing? XD ive been spending weeks going through the ins and outs of it and the Technical side of all the programs are wracking my brain. it gets vastly harder when im not a tech guy so @_@ wish me luck lol
since i made a longer break my videos do not get recommended anymore AT ALL even though the thumbnails and quality is better than before...WHY? i feel so demotivated , animationg is really time consuming and hard so thats even more frustrating :(
This was killer... I am an avid Colin and Samir listener, and I found this video because of their reddit sream... I will be subscribing, and look forward to seeing more of your content.
My mind is going to explode like a grenade. I watch this video, everything sounds super reasonable and makes sense... go look at my analytics to see what videos have the most retention and... and... it's literally our advertising videos. 77% retention rate, streams and uploads not great. But we kill it on RUclips with ads. Man I'm super glad I found this channel... seriously. Helpful to know where to look for clues.
I feel I wont get pushed until I get more subs and post consistently. I post time lapses of my art pieces with no voiceovers (because of my stutter people get annoyed, I've been attacked by trolls for sometimes turning on my mic) and with a full time job it's super hard to to be that consistent that RUclips wants you to be.
The best thought process I've found is to think about what videos you should be creating for your average, or ideal, viewer. It's simple, but so many people get caught up in creating videos for an algorithm and it can just feel robotic
I've studied RUclips a ton over the past 3 years and here's the question I still can't seem to crack: Does RUclips primarily look at the channel when considering what to show viewers based on their watch history OR does it weight the TYPE of content more heavily? Of course, I mean within the same niche. An example would be posting a video about the new Zelda trailer one day, a Mario tip video the next day, and then maybe a Metroid Let's Play the next day. They're all somewhat related, but different types of content. I know it all comes back to "your audience," but audiences are complex. No 2 people are alike much less the hundreds, to thousands, to potentially millions of people who could be watching a video. I think this is what makes the "niche" question so difficult for something like gaming, especially when you cover games that aren't big enough on their own to build entire channels around - such as Fortnite, Minecraft, etc.
Oh shoot, a new like button animation, nice :D anyway, to me it's kinda both encouraging and discouraging... encouraging because you're basically not dependent on luck and can actually grow when making and later possibly adjusting your videos (thumbnails, titles etc.), but also discouraging in that the digital audience nowadays has a very short attention span, and is constantly searching for new, more entertaining content. On one hand, that gives you the discoverability, but on the other also a certain volatility in which you can have lets say 3 successful videos, but the 4th one made in the same style (editing, same style of "eye catching" clickable title and thumbnail) is gonna tank, and that's where you have to adapt. I believe it's possible to grow efficiently, it's just gonna require a LOT of work and time, which not a lot of people are willing to put in, just because "it might not work out" (I know it, I'm that guy...) Anywho, great video as always, thank you for that 😁
Well if that is the case... I can't say that I'm at all mad at the system when it keeps putting your vods into my phone alerts and the top of my feed every 2 days😁👍🏾✌🏾
This video is something else. I really enjoyed every second of it and also managed to learn a few things. Hope I'll manage to grow my channel a little bit more now. Thank you so much Harris !!
In your discussion with YT folks about the "algorithm, what's the story on dislikes on videos? Do they also push a video into suggestions just because they get lumped with likes for a total number of interactions or are they seperate and can negatively affect a video being pushed?

Ultimately if it just comes down to making the best stuff you can and that you think will be interesting, then it’s a huge relief. The scary part is trusting your gut and just doing that 😬
Definitely, just trying to be the best version of yourself
The real scary part is doing your best to avoid a copyright strike and adhering to YT's "Community guidelines."
This proves that just a little improvement goes a long way when you're passionate with what you do!
Great video explained very well. I recently pivoted my channel and RUclips tells me that around 75 percent of my viewers are choosing not to view my new content. However I'm pretty confident that my new content is as good if not better than my old stuff but I just need RUclips to find a new audience for it. So the BIG question is, how many videos is this going to take before RUclips realises that it shouldn't keep recommending this new content to the old viewers.
Is it even possible to have multiple audiences as one channel? Like does the algorithm account for that or are you just shooting yourself in the foot by having a vide array of content?
I can tell you how to get in-front of the audience bro I just figured it out and wish I would’ve done this before I transitioned my content 🫠
it's quite sad but i think it'd be better for you to start over. when you have a million subscribers and only average about 10k views, your channel is pretty much dead.. you can't revive it. i know a million is alot, it was probably very hard for you to get there but they don't serve much purpose anymore. start afresh with your new better content and a new set of audience will find you. i'm sure you've learned alot in your youtube journey that you can apply to your new channel which will make the growth faster this time around. do not give up!
@@self4341 Thanks Self, very true. RUclips sent me an email last month to say that they're taking my monitization away as some of my videos break their new policy rules. They don't say which ones so I have to delete all of them to be absoultely sure I can get monitezed again. It's really sad but in a way it was probably for the best, as like you say the reality is I might as well start from scatch.
Thanks for your kind words.

Attention to Detail: GOD MODE
I learned all this through trial and error, but from the viewer side, not the content creator side. I noticed that when I click on a video that was recommended, it immediately changed the videos that were recommended on the main feed. But I usually didn't like the video. Then I learned that if I popped into my History (it's in the left sidebar) and removed the video from my list, it immediately cleared the recommendations from my feed. I've been shaping "The Algorithm" to my liking ever since. I usually watch new videos incognito just to see what I think, and then if I like it I'll "watch" it again not incognito, but in a separate window with the volume turned down (so it's still in the foreground even if I'm actually working on another window), and then do the usual commenting and subscribing to boost it further.
It does really bother me that it stops recommending channels I love just because a few videos in a row didn't interest me. This is really a poor experience for viewers because it happens a lot. A channel where I watch 95% of the videos has a brief period where something is happening that needs coverage, but I'm not interested in that thing. So as a viewer I just ignore the videos and wait for that thing to be over so I can continue to watch the content I enjoy. As a quick recent example, Minecraft just had a Live event that talked about the next version coming out. I already watched the event so I know everything I need to know about it. But several channels I watch cover all that info anyway. I don't watch it because none of them is saying anything I don't already know. I just want to watch them play the game or make tutorials. But if that's all it takes then the channel isn't recommended to me anymore because I skipped a couple videos. Same thing comes up with channels that focus on one game at a time. Sometimes they play a game that doesn't interest me, so I take a break. Then a month or more passes before they start a new series that does interest me, but by then the channel is no longer in my feed, even though they've now started a series that definitely interests me. They really need to fix that experience.
Just to be clear, they may have already made adjustments for this. I'm talking from years of prior experience, nothing recent. So I don't know for sure that it's still a problem. I'm just saying that if it is, it really needs a rework because that's not how real people work. Temporary disinterest doesn't immediately mean long-term disinterest.
anyone else see that one frame of a note at 0:48 ?
You’re seeing things
“There is a low note that is resonating here. I’ll find it and let you know how to EQ it out” unfortunately nothing fun, just looks like a note from Harris to editor.
This is exactly why I make videos for "People" and not the algorithm!! I realize it'll take a "LOT" for my channel to grow and i'm 100% ok with that, but I take comfort in knowing that I make my videos for ppl to enjoy and if they want to sub, they can..... and if not, i still had fun making every video I've decided to upload!! 400 subscribers are not easy to come by so I appreciate everyone that watches!! Also, JUST GOT THAT COMMUNITY TAAAAAAAB lol!! Love your work Harris and Streambeats is one of the best things you could've done for creators
Exactly what I’m doing! It’s rewarding to see every subscriber notification and it encourages me to make even more videos for the people that want to see my content. I’m close to 370 subs and that means the world to me! I used to have only 10 making videos😅
Just got over 500 subs and unlocked the community tab too. Congrats! How did you get it with 400 subs? Did it appear automatically or did you have to apply?
@@LucaAnamaria you know what, that's a really good question that I wish I had the answer to 🤔🤔!! I didn't apply, I actually had been waiting to get my subs to 500 which will still take longer because I haven't uploaded in a while (I am still very active & vocal on RUclips though) I just woke up to an email and a notification on my channel that let me know I had the community tab!! I couldn't began to tell you how it happened 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️!! Congratulations on over 500 subs, don't take those ppl for granted and when you reach 1k, be just as humble then as you are now😁 I'm genuinely excited for you 😊 👏 👏
@@Leada1ne After I posted my comment, I saw a video saying that RUclips has started rolling out the community tab to all channels under 500 subs. Apparently, the update was announced a couple of weeks ago.
@@Leada1ne And thank you. 🤗❤️ I wish you all the best in your channel's growth too!
What I really need is a very easy to reach toggle that tells YT "this is NOT something I want more of, I just need this for the moment" Like when I repair my headphones, or replace my tail light, or ask myself wtf is in that thumbail?
at 0:48 "There is a low note that is resonating here, Ill find it and let you know how to EQ it out"
Now it makes sense that videos that have launched to the top of RUclipsrs are responsible for their channel becoming so big. Thanks for sharing this with us👍
Thank you and I hope you're right! I was so afraid of uploading both long gaming playthroughs with shorts less than a minute and shorts videos over a minute but not as long as the gameplays 😩😩
The problem is that this approach simply forces creators to produce the same old stuff. I do international politics. I know what tends to work. I could just bang out video after video on that specific subject (as sone channels do). I could sit back and just enjoy the revenues. But I want to look at less covered areas. I know there is an audience, but it is slightly different from my usual audience. But because it doesn’t conform to the usual audience YT doesn’t push it out to them. It could. It wouldn’t be hard to do it. But it doesn’t. (Or certainly doesn’t do it well.) It’s actually really frustrating. This is a downside to the system. And I think it has got worse recently.
Good stuff. Thanks for posting this video. Wrestling with this problem myself.
I got recommended this video, watched the whole video. And I disagree. Completely. I mean I understand the concept of "testing" the audience, but I feel like RUclips is lying to you - and is employing (or shall I say, deploying) an algorithm to peek on what you're doing. I uploaded a video, made it private, waited weeks, "PUBLISHED" the video, ONLY... ONLY to find out days later... its age-restricted. When you comment on videos, the algorithm removes comments that are not conducive to the platform it gets removed.
This is why people call it the algorithm; a robot removing things at their own volition.
This is the kind of video that is really helpful for people trying to grow their channels and their communities. It dispels a lot of myths that other RUclipsrs keep putting out there. Thanks Harris!
Man, I really needed to hear this reminder... It couldn't have come at a more appropriate time! Seriously man, I appreciate you!
This was very eye opening to be honest. Thanks for making this

Great video as always! On your last point - RUclips does not differentiate properly between livestream VODS & videos. If you stream daily it spams your subs with your VODS as if they're a proper edited video to your subscribers that don't watch your lives. Of course your lives will not match the quality of your videos, and nor with the thumbnails and so the algorithm defnitely punishes you across the board. Not only this, but it also spams people with your upcoming scheduled streams, actively annoying your subscribers to death. This ends up with you having 3+ vods/scheduled streams on viewers homepages at the same time, destroying your CTR when you actually post a video.
But again, if the video is good, it's good and will blow up regardless. However, it seems to increase the lows you get when a video tanks (as the initial burst of viewers in the testing phase is a lot smaller)
The most success I've noticed with other streamers/youtubers in this space with 100k+ subs that do well, is streaming less often, maybe once a week on a schedule - then focusing on having a killer title/thumbnail & posting the VOD. The VOD will get a great amount of views during the week and build anticipation towards the next stream! OR not posting your vods and keeping them members only. Genuinely if you want to stream daily and not spend hours focusing on a great thumbnail and title every single stream (which is exhausting) then Twitch is the best option.
Well now I have to test this with gameplay since that’s typically the hardest thing to appease for “the algorithm” in my opinion. Interesting and solo video!
This is insanely helpful. Thanks so much for making this content! Hoping to implement some of this stuff into my future videos and "think like a viewer". Keep the good stuff coming!!
Hello fan 👋Thanks for watching and commenting, YOU WON A PRIZE🎖️Message me on telegram, To Acknowledge your PRIZE 🎁!!!!!
Thanks for this! I know I need to work on my story telling… I also know that the only thing I have for consistency is that I’m consistently inconsistent. Unfortunately I have fun making such a wide array of videos that I struggle with it all 🤷♂️
Hey Harris! You’ll probably never see this but I’ll give it a shot anyways. Have you made any videos on how you make your streambeats? Or just how to make music in general? Like what software to use, how to use it, etc?
Great video, Harris! Also, I love the editing, Scott!
i completely agree with everything you say other then the fact that the algorithm doesn’t look at channels. i believe, to an extent, it does. if i don’t upload for 2-3 days (i’m a shorts youtuber) my analytics will dip like crazy. how can that be explained?
This video makes tons of sense! When I watch a video from you Harris, I end up seeing similar type videos in my recommended almost immediately. There are only a few RUclipsrs that make videos that I watch from beginning to end. And those always end up being the theme of my recommended videos.
Excellent explanation of the Algorithm! Amazing video! I thoroughly enjoyed your content! Keep up the great work!
If a video is "tested" by being recommended to people who have recently clicked on that RUclipsr's videos, as proven by your example of Captain Disillusion, doesn't that go against the quote you begged the question with? "The algorithm doesn't look at channels. The algorithm only looks at videos." - If the videos it looks at are being tested based on channels, than it looks at channels... no?
Just literally took the thoughts out of my brain that I want to tell to my friends. On other platforms this concept or idea explained can be different but the reality of RUclips is some videos, streams etc are just not as interesting to your audience sometimes. But learning to accept that and find ways to be more appealing for the future is a step we all will have to take going forward. Thanks Harris as always! … oh yeah Favorite emoji 🔱
Sooo... is this why clickbaity titles and lewd thumbnails work?
Thanks Harris for clearing this up, I was a bit puzzled sometimes. 😍
Your channel is SO HELPFUL for the ideas I'm working on. Thanks, Harris! 🙏
Loved this video!!! Thats why i leave a link in my youtube shorts comments to my previous video. To get ppl to binge more!
Absolutely spot on. Excellent video once again 😊
Once I got my head around how audience profiles work it resulted in a very noticeable increase in growth and engagement on my channel and a much healthier work/life balance because I stopped worrying about “pleasing the algorithm” with videos just for the sake of it.
Do you ever experience desire that is so deep, so profound that you tear up from intensity? Emotions want to pour out? You've been a very helpful source of information since I've discovered you one, two months ago. Thanks Harris. 😎🙃
Thank you so much for this video. This changed my whole mind set!
I heard someone replace the phrase "RUclips Algorithm" with the audience a while back. That perspective shift made the algorithm more understandable and has helped me understand why videos are/aren't doing well.
I had a video flop this morning and I immediately said to myself "what do I need to do differently". Made some adjustments and now I'm waiting to see what happens!🎃🎃🎃
Brilliant! You just relieved alot of anxiety around the entire planet in 1 video🧚♀️💕 THANK YOU
I feel like RUclips needs to make a whole page called "RUclips Live" or something to make it easier to find live channels, i find it difficult to find live channels currently so maybe a change to that will help the live streaming on youtube? Just an idea! :) A lot of people from Twitch are transitioning to RUclips livestreaming and they are finding it so much better but also so much more difficult as well. If RUclips upgraded their livestreaming i think there would be a lotttt more people interacting with youtube especially from the gaming/twitch communities that want to transition. I hope this makes some sense to someone LMAO
Hidden message at 0:48 says "[Harris Heller Oct 24, 18:22] There is a low note that is resonating here. I'll find it and let you know how to EQ it out."
I really love these types of videos. I am in a class that focuses on different stakeholders in the digital space and this is very informative.

I feel like this is probably the most no-nonsense explanation as to how everything works. Had my own assumptions of it working in a similar way as to what you're describing, but I guess this confirms my hypotheses
I love this video for the information, but more because it highlights an important point for content creators: CONTENT IS KING. Spend less time thinking about pleasing the algorithm and more time into making the best content you can. 👍

Love the video as always, though 48 seconds in you left 1 frame with Production Notes "[Harris Heller OCT 34, 18:22] There is a low note that is resonating here. I'll find it an dlet you know how to EQ it out" That might be an interesting video idea...how you produce your video's from idea to final product. I know I would watch it.
As always, brilliant. Thank you. You’ve helped my channel and social media so much.
Based video. I just started streaming and am really happy with the impressions. RUclips definitely pushes properly uploaded videos out to a lot of people. It’s just up to you to capture your audience. This is the basics of marketing
Hello fan 👋Thanks for watching and commenting, YOU WON A PRIZE🎖️Message me on telegram, To Acknowledge your PRIZE 🎁!!!!!!
Harris I’ve watched every single one of the videos on your channel all the way through. If you’ve taught me anything it’s to keep going. Thank you 🙏
If I hear "RUclips algorithm" one more time I'm going to puke 🤮
This makes a lot of sense but also completely explains why gaming RUclipsrs have such a hard time when their game starts to dwindle or they want to switch. Your own audience that you built up works against you in a way
Hello fan 👋Thanks for watching and commenting, YOU WON A PRIZE🎖️Message me on telegram, To Acknowledge your PRIZE 🎁!!!!!
I keep seeing Vtubers that I wasn't aware of previously. For instance, I'm pretty sure I am part of why PunkaLopi suddenly went super viral and exploded her audience in a week. Love her chaotic good energy, her shorts made me laugh a ton.😶🌫
I would love to see a video on what are some tips and tricks for getting everything for your stream plugged into your PC.
I've found the algorithm can work against you a bit if you're trying to do something new. That's just the unfortunate consequence of these classifier algorithms. It doesn't know how to classify you or your audience, and the right people never get directed to your videos. That means that to build the audience you might have to help the algo out a bit by piggybacking on a related subject that is more popular. A section of those viewers then hopefully end up liking your more niche content, and youtube can start to build a better profile of your audience.
it's actually the audience that generally don't like it when your content is all over the place, people like consistency to some degree. When you reach too far out of their interest they won't view the videos, and so, the algorithm responds to the audience disengagement by trying with a new smaller audience that might like your new content.
Precisely, as a viewer I am absolutely livid with this algorithm. I need to get out of my way to train this idiot to give me different things, I have to think of new types of videos to search so that it "leans in that direction" and I hate this, it's not fun. I miss the golden days when the feed would have some random gems in it. I am literally afraid to click meta videos because I know it will riddle my feed with it afterwards and I have to spend some minutes spamming the button.
It's an algorithm, it's designed for one outcome. Of course going outside of that would be punished.
@@R055LE.1 yeah
This was very insightful, thank you as someone trying to get back into content creation, self-critiquing is essential
Thank you Harris. Love this and really helps us little guys figure stuff out faster. You rock.
I honestly think that this is one of your best advice videos on growth due to its simplicity and clarity, or rather, a bit more directly saying that it's about the audience~
Thanks for sharing this with us, man. Thinking of the algorithm more as the audience helps put things into perspective a little better. Loving your videos lately!
Thanks so much for this video mate! This answers the many questions that I've had about RUclips as I make videos and livestream. Keep up the great work!
Great info! Your channel has been amazing for my personal projects, thanks!!!
Went to RUclips asked em what the algorithm is and expected an honest answer? Large corporations never have a reason to lie my bad
finally a realistic look at what matters on this topic!! love your content but i REALLY love your editor! forget his name but he is epic btw... incase you forgot for 22 seconds.
Personal observation: I sometimes got the feeling that how the algorithm tries to mimic real-person behaviour also depends on the behaviour of THE CREATOR...
It may sound weird at first, but hear me out... I almost never comment under any videos. My Content is in Czech language and whole channel is set to that language as well. I also don't watch others from Czechia but spend my time watching videos in English be it someone like Draegast, LinusTechTips or You.
That being said until recently my content was in 70% of viewers delivered to people livin in one of 2 countries that actually COULD understand me, The rest was from either England or USA. Few days ago I tried to watch few creators from my country and commented under said videos. Not only that just comentating alone spiked views a little, it also shifted the presented audience!
This might need a fact-check by other "Non-English" channels.
Now that you say it, that makes a LOT of sense, actually! It makes me think the RUclips web developers didn't want to go through all that trouble of making the algorithm complex.
I've noticed similar videos pop up when I click on them.
6:52 Glad to see we're both loyal subscribers of Linus Tech Tips and JayzTwoCents :D
Great video Harris. I love all your content. Plus you got my attention for this video with the algorithm of the catch rates for Silver and gold. Good hook right there.
this is probably the best explanation i’ve seen so far. Thank you for the insight!
🎉🎉🎉
I mentioned part of this to a YT channel I watch, who started doing Streams in addition to the standard YT videos. They would post the stream a few hours, many hours, to even a day ahead of going live.
I’m not sure if I am a typical consumer but I would check my YT feed for stuff I want to watch NOW, not in an hour from now, that evening or in a couple of days, but right then, that’s when I have the time and desire to watch some YT. It’s a very right now and not planned interaction and I have a lot of channels I’m subbed too so if this channel is not giving me the content I want there are a TON of others that are.
Anyway, I see this channel I follow with a super familiar and insta recognizable thumbnail slip into my feed and I make a beeline to watching their video as I enjoy their content. I get the “stream starting soon” splash page but it’s actually in X number of days. I click off and find other content to watch.
Now I am not sure if you have to be in a video/stream for a certain amount of time but I found that Stream wasn’t suggested to me again. So because the channel had posted the stream announcement in advance they had lost me from that stream. It happened a few more times after that so channel, same mistake. Then I lost that channel as a suggestion on my home/feed page because they had put up a stream announcement for a stream in a few hours+ of when I wanted to consume content. They didn’t differentiate the thumbnail so unless I read the title and video details that are under the thumbnail (which I never do) and so it cost them metrics.
Creators need to up their game if they want to integrate streams into their channel. Common sense tips to consider:
1. This isn’t Twitch, doing it how you did it there isn’t going to work. Your not competing for my attention vs a bunch of other streamers. Advertising your streams in advance on twitch is fine as I am specifically visiting that platform to catch live content and be part of the show. So knowing when my favourite streamers are live in advance allows me to add that to my day. That doesn’t work on YT.
2. If you want to stream on YT, take time to understand YT consumer behaviour and take advantage of it, make it work for you rather than against you. YT is my day in and day out constant buddy, I watch on my iPad and that sucker goes everywhere with me, making breakfast and my kids school lunches I do it to the sounds of YT videos from my feed. Working and not in a meeting or on the phone then I have my YT feed playing. I want content now and I watch what’s suggested in my feed. The only time I use YT differently is when I discover a new YT channel, I like them and I watch their entire back catalogue in one sitting if possible. My point here is that my YT consumption is all about the here and now. It starts and usually ends with my feed, if your content is suggested to me but your a new channel, if I like it I’ll sub and either watch everything you post that makes it onto my feed or I will make your channel my background music/occasional diversion from work for my day. All you have to do is make a good initial first impression so I sub and then I’m sucking the figurative marrow from your channels bones, posting a stream 5 hours from now is not the way to do it.
3. Assume that YT and your viewers are not going to lift a finger to adapt to you wanting to stream. Twitch is shooting itself in the foot right now and YT is happy to offer you a fair deal to stream with them but it’s really all a gimme freebie bonus. They might give you a few new bells and whistles but dramatically changing their UI or worse creating a new Pavlovian response in their audience will likely never happen. I’ve heard reports that YT streams might have their own category on your channel and other adjust,ents that will help might be in the works, but don’t craft your content and your strategy assuming that. Instead create content and strategies that don’t need that assistance. Not only will your metrics improve because your strat and content work with YT and your viewers habits than against it, but it will also put you miles ahead of other creators further boosting your metrics as they bash their brains out on the wall of “coming over from twitch inflexibility”.
Read through your comment and honestly there’s some really insightful stuff here that I noted down. Thank you 🙏
Finally, one video on a whole utube which tell exact things and straight to the point.
I've noticed trends more than individual channels, ei subjects or hobbies. First it was sewing, then dog grooming, then landscaping (its all about the transformation for me, so I guess I can see the link). Most recently that I can think of is puzzles. Sprinkled in throughout there is Japanese culture videos, like a couple where one is white, the other is Japanese and they have cats, or white people born and raised in Japan. Don't get me wrong, its fascinating, but I wish I could tweak it just a little. Like my boss is Chinese, I'd like to learn more about Chinese culture.
This is an extremely interesting topic. I am studying algorithms in college right now, so this is something that I find particularly cool. Also, your videos are just really clean all around, so I find them pleasant to watch. Thanks for the insights.
Favorite emoji: 😎
So then my only question I am left asking relates to the ending of this video where you discuss how having poorly performing live streams on your channel can negatively affect the performance of your future videos because the algorithm assumes that your audience that it can recommend your videos to isn’t going to like them because they haven’t liked your previous live streams.
My question is is that also the case with RUclips shorts where if you’re uploading two or three shorts and one of them blows up and gets 1000 views but the other two don’t go anywhere and only get 10 views are those dead RUclips shorts going to then negatively impact the performance of your following videos
This is legitimately the best explanation of how RUclips works I've ever seen and I've been studying the space fro two years.
Thank You!
Awesome analysis about user profiles and their relationships. Thank you!
Harris Heller taking care of that low note resonance :)
The part that I have trouble with is how RUclips decides that a video is 'good'. This will generally be by engagement, so it makes sense that larger youtubers will see more engagement on their videos than smaller channels - due to them already having a substantial fan base. Given two similar videos, the one from the larger creator will generally get offered in preference to the smaller creator (especially when hitting search terms).
You are correct but it is much less a factor than you might think. There are channels with over a million subs that get less traffic than my 70k sub channel. There are channels a quarter my size in the same niche who outperform me. These are exceptions to the general rule but it does show how the little guy can take advantage. The size-beats-all problem is IMO way less of a problem on YT than anywhere, though it does exist.
For sure. We’ve all seen the channels that have several thousand views on each video and they’re fantastic. Then the big channels have the same video topic and it ain’t good. But that channel has the 400 K views or some bs.
so im a lil curious if you have any information i could use with VTubing? XD ive been spending weeks going through the ins and outs of it and the Technical side of all the programs are wracking my brain. it gets vastly harder when im not a tech guy so @_@ wish me luck lol
since i made a longer break my videos do not get recommended anymore AT ALL even though the thumbnails and quality is better than before...WHY? i feel so demotivated , animationg is really time consuming and hard so thats even more frustrating :(
low key this is the best explamation of the algorithm I've seen.
This was killer... I am an avid Colin and Samir listener, and I found this video because of their reddit sream... I will be subscribing, and look forward to seeing more of your content.
I never see your videos anymore. Im here now, and no algorithm is gonna stop me
This was a real eye-opener!!!! Thanks a bunch!
My mind is going to explode like a grenade. I watch this video, everything sounds super reasonable and makes sense... go look at my analytics to see what videos have the most retention and... and... it's literally our advertising videos. 77% retention rate, streams and uploads not great. But we kill it on RUclips with ads. Man I'm super glad I found this channel... seriously. Helpful to know where to look for clues.
Awesome video, Harris! Hope you got to sort out the low note thing, too ;)
I feel I wont get pushed until I get more subs and post consistently. I post time lapses of my art pieces with no voiceovers (because of my stutter people get annoyed, I've been attacked by trolls for sometimes turning on my mic) and with a full time job it's super hard to to be that consistent that RUclips wants you to be.
How about text to speech? Those are good
Also screw those trolls
The best thought process I've found is to think about what videos you should be creating for your average, or ideal, viewer. It's simple, but so many people get caught up in creating videos for an algorithm and it can just feel robotic
I love Harris telling creators to git gud. My favorite part of my day :)
Informative video!

Hmmm... it makes sense when you explain how it works in this way. Thanks Harris.
The hair is always flawless. ❤️ content and handsomeness, Harris has it all 😊
I've studied RUclips a ton over the past 3 years and here's the question I still can't seem to crack: Does RUclips primarily look at the channel when considering what to show viewers based on their watch history OR does it weight the TYPE of content more heavily? Of course, I mean within the same niche. An example would be posting a video about the new Zelda trailer one day, a Mario tip video the next day, and then maybe a Metroid Let's Play the next day. They're all somewhat related, but different types of content. I know it all comes back to "your audience," but audiences are complex. No 2 people are alike much less the hundreds, to thousands, to potentially millions of people who could be watching a video. I think this is what makes the "niche" question so difficult for something like gaming, especially when you cover games that aren't big enough on their own to build entire channels around - such as Fortnite, Minecraft, etc.
Oh shoot, a new like button animation, nice :D anyway, to me it's kinda both encouraging and discouraging... encouraging because you're basically not dependent on luck and can actually grow when making and later possibly adjusting your videos (thumbnails, titles etc.), but also discouraging in that the digital audience nowadays has a very short attention span, and is constantly searching for new, more entertaining content. On one hand, that gives you the discoverability, but on the other also a certain volatility in which you can have lets say 3 successful videos, but the 4th one made in the same style (editing, same style of "eye catching" clickable title and thumbnail) is gonna tank, and that's where you have to adapt.
I believe it's possible to grow efficiently, it's just gonna require a LOT of work and time, which not a lot of people are willing to put in, just because "it might not work out" (I know it, I'm that guy...)
Anywho, great video as always, thank you for that
😁
Awesome video. Agree 100%. Algo triggering comment in appreciation! 👍
Oh and of course I subscribed. 👍😁
Well if that is the case... I can't say that I'm at all mad at the system when it keeps putting your vods into my phone alerts and the top of my feed every 2 days😁👍🏾✌🏾

Your point of view is very unique, no matter how perfect they are, the way you say it keeps us motivated!
this had to be the best explanation i’ve heard. and it makes the most sense. yt makes money off viewers, not creators
Yup... happened to me with videos of channels I'm not subbed to more often than I'd like to admit.
In your discussion with YT folks about the "algorithm, what's the story on dislikes on videos? Do they also push a video into suggestions just because they get lumped with likes for a total number of interactions or are they seperate and can negatively affect a video being pushed?
