š® YouTube is a Game ā Here's How to Win š§µ 1. YouTube isn't a platform. It's a game. And the game has rules. Master them, and you'll grow. Ignore them, and you'll quit wondering why no one watches. Letās break it down: š 2. Every video = a level.Each viewer = a player.Your thumbnail + title? Thatās the box art that makes them pick it off the shelf. Your job: Deliver on the picture, and make the build fun. 3. Imagine giving someone a Lego setā¦But instead of letting them build it, you hand them the finished toy. Thatās what most YouTubers do. They skip the journey. They give away the answer too soon. Retention = destroyed. ā 4. Viewers donāt want lectures. They want stories. Because stories are emotional puzzles. Give them the pieces. Let them solve it .Thatās what makes a video feel like a conversationānot a monologue. 5. Hereās the trap: Creators try to prove theyāre smart. But the viewer doesnāt care how smart you are. They care how smart you make them feel. Thatās the game. Thatās the win condition. 6. So next time you make a video, ask:š§© Did I show them the picture on the box?š§± Did I give them the bricks to build it?š Did I let them feel smart? If yes ā you're not just playing the game. You're winning it.
