*Video Notes*

I think anyone who has seen a Mark Rober video before, will agree that he is a credit to the YouTube community. He makes videos that are both educational and entertaining, and averages a ridiculous 27 million views per video.

But let’s be real for a minute, top youtubers understand how the algorithm works. They know what sort of content to make and what tactics to use to bring in millions of views. Do you think a guy who helped put a robot on mars makes ‘’wholesome content’’ and just hopes it does well?

Has anyone ever noticed that when you click on a mark Rober video, 10 minutes goes by in the blink of an eye? You might just think it’s because he makes awesome videos, which is true, but he also uses techniques which makes it so hard for you to click off.

So that’s how Mark makes people stay on his videos to give him great watch time and retention, but he of course needs people to actually click on them in the first place. Which brings us on to step 2 – Mark uses Killer Metadata

Mark uploads just once per month, or even less at the moment, although I’ve heard he’s got a pretty cool video with Dude Perfect coming soon. So watch out for that. You see YouTube is no longer a place that rewards sheer quantity, right now to stand out, you need to provide 10 times the quality you did 5 years ago.

My name is Paddy Galloway and I hope you enjoyed this video!

This guy is genius. He’s talking about beating the algorithm while beating the algorithm

Another youtuber you should probably make a video on is Tom Scott.

[cybercodm]

I’m not even surprised because he is literally a genius

[danical]

Why do I feel like this guy knows the youtube algorithm better than anyone he talks about and I'm actually falling into a trap?

[paddygalloway]

Smash a like on the video if you want to see Dream analysed next. 20k likes and I'll make it!

He quit his job at NASA to do YouTube. Let that sink in.

We need YouTube to allow us to A/B test thumbnails and titles. I said this to them a year ago and it looks like Facebook is implementing something similar. YouTube should have the ability to allow us to upload two thumbnails per video and two titles. When it goes live, it shoots out both a and b to your following and within minutes it should know which one is getting a higher CTR!!!!

[paddygalloway]

I'm feeling brave, can we hit 5, 000 likes? The most I've ever asked for!

I’m so tempted to watch the squirrel video instead of finishing this one.

I like how Mark R doesn’t shove the usual “subscribe, like, share, comment” crap at us in his videos. Just a simple “consider subscribing” at the end. He’s nice about it and not cramming it down your throats like we have to subscribe, like how literally every other channel does it.

[MrBoomington]

Originality is another point imo. Cant find his videos anywhere else.

Safiya Nygaard is another YouTube’s who makes just one video in a month or two months and gets 10M-20M views

He's literally the ONLY educational youtuber that makes you think its not an educational youtuber, hes literally amazing.

Step 1: get a kid
Step 2: name him “YouTube Algorithm”

I love Mark Rober. He’s shown that STEM is incredibly important and that it can be fun as well. I aspire to be like Mark. 😃

For me out of all the videos you've made, this one is the most helpful as it can be used of any type of channel. The "what, how and why" literally changed my game.
