I learned this the hard way.
Spent months trying to βcrackβ the YouTube algorithm β analyzing, tweaking, obsessing over SEO. But my channel was stuck.
Then it hit me⦠I was chasing robots, not people.
Hereβs the truth: Humans binge. The algorithm? It just follows.

- Study audience laziness.
β β β€β Look at your retention graphs. Where do people drop off? When do they binge?
β β β€β Spoiler: People love quick dopamine hits. Shorts = crack.
2. Feed them bite-sized content.
β β β€β Post Shorts like youβre handing out samples at Costco.
β β β€β Once theyβre hooked, drop long-form. You donβt need to trick anyone β just ride the binge wave.

I stopped chasing βviral hacksβ and just fed my audience more of what they already watched.
Result?
β β β¦β Shorts blew up.
β β β¦β Long-form followed.
β β β¦β Channel growth doubled β and I stopped stressing about the algorithm.
If your channel isnβt moving, stop gaming the system. Serve your audience's laziness. Itβs easier than you think.
