90% of everything is just showing up. I've heard many times that the secret to a successful youtube channel is find a video that works, and make that same video 3 times a week forever.
There's also a factor of maintaining the audience. Format is one thing, but having engaging, 'agreeable' content for the audience you've attracted is another.
He doesn't do this in this video thankfully but I'm convinced that one of the reasons youtube channels have become such cancer with their use of jumpcuts and using cringey generic meme clips every five seconds is likely algorithmic fuckery. It was only something that I've been noticing cropping up in the last couple of years or so and getting worse but I absolutely hate it because after awhile it becomes unwatchable and they cram it within 10 minutes of video often as well.
Example: Hey you guys hahahah isn't this so funny <insert shitty minions reaction> blah blah blah blah <insert completely irrelevant spongebob clip> remember to like and subscribe! <plaster other video links over everything>
Nothing is organically popular on YouTube (or any social media site) anymore. It is popular only if the people who control the network want it to be popular.
Critical is an embodiment of a subtle archetype that for lack of a better term I would call the Gen X Buddha, even though he isn't Gen X. It's comforting to people.
There is no way I'm going to watch some lame YouTube's hot take, my time is worth more than that. So in text format, what is the gist of this latest nonsense?
Aussie players from his e-sports team were, seemingly arbitrarily, denied US entry/visas multiple times before a major tournament and caused undue financial harm to his organization (lost potential earnings and expenses incurred for various visa processes/applications).
Its always funny to watch people learn years too late that certain groups have way too much undue power to just arbitrarily fucking ruin your path and steal your money, and you can't do shit about it.
This kind of stuff was a problem 20 years ago with customs could just steal your imports because they just decided anime = porn and other such nonsense.
Checked the duration and yep I'm with you on this kind of thing it's always 10+ minutes long, inevitably has ads involved and as an extra dick measure they'll have some kind of e-begging routine or maybe a sponsor even though it's drama clickbait.
Nope and nope. The reason his videos are that long a lot of the time is because he starts with a recorded explanation and then puts in a clip from his Twitch stream for the other half of the video so people get the full context.
Edit: What is the average length of the videos you watch anyway

Depends on how autistic I'm feeling, lately I've ben speedrunning 20+ minute tutorials by Ryan King Art and I've been being really productive.
I was being unfair I guess I'll admit but whenever I see a drama video these days my first instinct is to simply stay away from it because I have very little patience for it as they often all follow the same pattern. I don't hate any of them necessarily but MXRPlays are a great example with Henry and Jeannie fairly recently talking about how they got themselves scammed among other things and youtube demonetising them yet again likely over their click-bait thumbnails which properly sets off the algorithm every five seconds.
At nine minutes in, he discusses how a racist could get away with denying visas based on "skin color." That's pretty interesting. You would need senior DHS officials and presumably the President willing to play ball, but you could effectively implement a White Nationalist immigration policy with just a small number of people getting into these institutional positions.
Illegals may get a lot more attention, but "legal" immigration fuckery is also a huge problem. The absolutely massive number of Indians alone who just overstay their visas forever is probably responsible for an inconceivable amount of the bullshit that goes on in the tech industry and West Coast in general.
Especially when you remember that illegals aren't really as prevalent in political discourse beyond being pawns. All the non-black PoCs constantly talking shit and pushing anti-white rhetoric are almost all legal immigrants (or their children) screaming about nonsense and getting their bullshit passed into law.
let any random piece of shit from around the world through the southern border illegally, but deny some australians who want to come for a week for a convention.
How does this dude keep getting all these views?
Clown world mascot.

That’s probably true, but it’s probably also underselling the difficulty of the “find a video that works” part.
There's also a factor of maintaining the audience. Format is one thing, but having engaging, 'agreeable' content for the audience you've attracted is another.
Considering the person this thread is about, this is not a necessary factor clearly.
Filling the right meme is sometimes I good bet. Part of what made Life of Boris so successful.

Should have hired Americans. What a faggot

Wouldn't that still only affect the legal immigration process, though?
Illegal invaders at the borders, or the ones flown in directly, don't seek visas in the first place.

I guess after Trump fires the entire federal government like CNN says he's going to.
Anti-white hatred of our immigration authorities.
If they had been criminals called mohammed with 4 wives he would have been waved right in.
tell your teammates to just walk in in Texas.
