Im gonna ask a genuine question because this has honestly been bothering me lately.

How do some creators blow up so fast while other people can put in hundreds of hours and still barely move?

P.S Heres the link to my chennel if you want to look before answering my question https://youtube.com/@justatechguyofficial?si=Ok4ULtn_xRswBjBc

I run a tech channel and I’ve spent an insane amount of time learning editing, filming, scripting, thumbnails, pacing, color grading, audio, all that. I’ve also spent hundreds of dollars on gear trying to make my content actually look good instead of just posting low effort clips.

And before anybody says it yeah I know consistency matters and “make better content” matters. I post consistently. I study successful creators. I actively try improving every upload.

But sometimes it genuinely feels like the algorithm just decides certain creators are invisible.

Meanwhile I’ll see videos with terrible audio, no editing, no structure, and somehow they pull crazy numbers while a video I spent 15+ hours on gets like 300 views (sometimes more sometimes less).

I’m not even trying to sound salty, I’m legitimately asking:
At what point did things finally start clicking for you guys?

Was it one viral video?
Better retention?
More uploads?
Finding a niche?
Or is there honestly just a huge luck factor nobody wants to admit?

Because right now it feels like I’m putting everything into this (and yes id like too see some more views)

Hey I think this video could help some of yall idk though let me know if you like it!
