Nah. One video a day gets you practice in all sorts of skills you’ll need if/when you start putting a lot of effort into the quality of the videos. Quality is only half the battle, dealing with deadlines and getting the hours in on the video making/editing programs is crucial.
A self-imposed deadline of making a new video by the end of every day. And rushing through videos absolutely is good practice for a handful of things. Especially if you’ve never edited video at all. It gives you practice just in opening the programs needed and navigating them. Even a hastily edited video is still an edited video that the person needed to learn many aspects of the software to edit. Also, seeing a project through from start to finish you quickly learn that there’s a lot to do at the end of a project after the creative part.
Some of the most consistent advice from famous creative people is to start out like this. It’s well known that starting with a massive ambitious project is a recipe for failure. IDK if you’ve ever tried to do something like this but it can be very intimidating just to begin if you feel like the first project you work on is personally important to you. Making mediocre videos every day gives you a stress free way to make something creative from start to finish.
You’d be surprised how quickly channels die once you stop putting out a video every week, 3 days, or whatever arbitrary number they or the algorithm is used to.
Definitely not the case for me, you need to stop watching low effort slop.
I follow a few channels that only publish every other month, and they still get recommended to me as soon as they release. Slow Mo Guys is one example.
Dude legit lul. I have like 7 or 8 channels I follow that post maaaaybe once a month and they consistently get close to a million views. Let alone people like hbomberguy who posts like 3 or 4 videos a year and gets millions upon millions of views.
You don’t get big and well known by posting shit videos though. YouTube is full of people who put out a quality video every month or so, just look at the Slow Mo Guys.
Every day? Quality over quantity, Anon.

Deadlines? What deadline is this person under?
And rushing through and firing out hastily edited videos isn’t good practice for anything.

I guess they meant deadlines for sponsored videos or something
The cart is so far in front of the horse it’s over the horizon, if that’s the case.

How many subscribers does your channel have?
I dunno, 10 or something like that?
I heard the algorithm rewards the opposite nowadays
No. The algorithm rewards making content that people watch, not shovelling out junk that only your mum wants to watch.
Okay but part of getting the algorithm to suggest your videos to people is to post consistently and often
If people actually watch them, sure. If nobody except your mum watches the whole video, it doesn’t really matter how much you post.
It always has
not always. i remember there used to be some pretty big channels that posted only every once in a while.
now it seems most of them put out lower effort stuff frequently, theres def been a shift.

You mean that people that are already big and well known can post less often and still get views? Shocking

recommend me a few, i barely watch youtube anymore outside a few interest news channels because most seem like junk to me.
I’ve been catching up on the Tally Ho build series lately, that’s good value for money.
I get your point, but if they’re enjoying themself: Give 'em hell anon. Pump that stuff out. If you’ve got something to say, speak!
