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.

That’s probably true, but it’s probably also underselling the difficulty of the “find a video that works” part.

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.
