I use the analytics to see which thumbnails and titles are the most attention grabbing. I wont continue a series if the first few videos donβt get views, unless I really want it to work.
YouTube is probably the best for their popularity and never ending growth. TikTok is definitely the worst for money to view ratio, because they just donβt care about their creators.
I made a YouTube short that got 350k views, I know itβs nothing to brag over but I was proud. I think what made it popular was that I used something cooler than usual for my topic and a lot of the viewers were debating in the comments
