I've got a huge goal of hitting 200k subscribers this year......which is probably not gonna happen BUT If you enjoyed this video, SMASH that subscribe button :)
So if you tell me that I would need to beat the algorithm to success would I need to increase my habits of the good content cheering or good content creation or what about my head thinking about right now then you success TH-camrs to take about two and then you inviting your success about CNN
You're right, HanGAR. The algorithm brought me hear. Never heard of this channel, nor did I watch any Mark Robber videos in the past 6 months. Let alone analytic videos.
His videos are also just enjoyable to watch unlike other channels which tell you what’s about to happen, have 10 minutes of BS then the final reward at the end which you would have been better off skipping straight too. Mark’s videos are constantly engaging
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.
Tom Scott, mentioned in another reply, is another example of this - the no fluff, straight to interesting content (well written, rehearsed, and competently presented) and thanks for watching. You know that Tom will not waste your time. His current stuff is usually shorter than most similar subject videos. Got a few minutes? Watch aTom Scott and be entertained, informed, and turned loose so you can waste your time elsewhere.
Grian is a great example of a large gaming channel that is the same way. He NEVER asks for people to like and subscribe. One day at the very end of his video, however, he said in the nicest way possible, that a large majority of his viewer base was not subscribed and they should consider subscribing. And guess what? The very next video he thanked his viewers for a bunch of new subscribers and he was shocked at how many people did. Just goes to show that TH-camrs don't need to constantly shove "LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE NOW" down our throats to get people to subscribe. A gentle reminder every once and a while is all that is needed and makes for much better content overall.
We need TH-cam 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. TH-cam 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!!!!
You're so right. It would be such a useful feature but I think they know that, they just choose not to implement. Who knows why, but I have my theories...
@Paddy Galloway I'm guessing there is a correlation between high quality videos and channels who use A/B testing, so having that skill gap allows for the viewer to be guided towards channels that they are more likely to subscribe to and continue receiving/watching high quality content, keeping them on TH-cam for longer. I use TubeBuddy too and it's been SOOOOO useful over the past few months (gained 50k views from nothing in 7 videos); it really shows how much information TH-cam *intentionally hides* from its creators.
Actually they do... There's too many variables to make this a simple to use feature. So they left an API (application programing interface) that lets you query metrics about your video and change it's metadata (like the thumbnail and title). This is exactly what Tube buddy does.
@@westly7rock too many variables? If it's an optional feature, they can implement a good guess and people can still use some other software / method. Just look at minutes watched per thumbnail view. 10 people see it, they watch a total of 50mins? Better than 8 people seeing the other one and watching for 10mins. So go with A.
Mark Rober gets so many views because he doesn't post that much, so people re-watch them. Edit: Oh My! Thats more likes than I have ever gotten on a comment before! Thx :)
It just like mr beast when he does upload it’s like a what do you call it... it’s a treat if you will and it’s called that because he uploads only once a month so when he does he gets a ton of views along with a high quality video so even more views
That would be great. Dreams videos used to be shorter but he somehow sucked us into looking forward to watching a 40 minute video straight cuz the entire thing is just so good. Never watch that long of a video with anyone else.
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.
i've watched this guy since 700k subs. I was amazed to take like a 6 month break from him a few years ago and when i came back he had tripled in subscribers.
How Paddy Galloway Beats the TH-cam Algorithm In This Video: - introduces a legitimate question and makes viewers wonder this question even though I never had it or knew about this dude he's talking about - uses great graphics to keep viewers engaged and aware of what to take note of - straightforward, genuinely good content
Tbh, the last point (Quality over Quantity) highly depends on the strategy... There is a whole different market for daily uploads that is very successful in itself. Then your videos dont get 27 mio views each, but in total could do way more then 30mio a month. If you are going for max. views, quantity is still the way to go.
ClemensAlive I disagree, after giving it some thought, I actually realised maybe Quality is the important factor here. For example, a Pewdiepie video slows down after hitting 4-5milliom veiws for everyvideo, whereas for Mrbeast, his videos never stop surfing the recommended, last year most of his videos were 10-15mil veiws max, but now his average is around 40-50mil, and its not gonna stop either. It ll keeeep getting recommended
@@vaisakh96 lol. If you think so... I'm not thinking about it. I'm living what I am saying. And it made me 5 million (german only) views a month in 2016....so.....

Always’ Meepin putting a TH-camr who is pretty famous and talking about the algorithm and makes it so interesting we watched it for ten minutes I mean props to the guy I watched it
Before it used to be quantity, people who upload on a regular basis were favoured before and thats why they rose but these days you can see they are not growing much
Its truly crazy how important thumbnails are like you mentioned and how simple yet compelling his are. It makes me think that many of us small youtubers try too hard and don't think about what would hook a viewer. It was refreshing to not only here your why behind this video but the how as well. This video was fantastic. Thanks for the great tips.
I literally just clicked off this video (after watching the whole thing of course) scrolled a little down my recommended and boom. There’s a Mark Rober video. (elephant toothpaste) like bro what the heck
“Genius strategy” He worked at NASA and built the mars rover I think he can bear the algorithm and he figured out how to beat guess who in two questions
I love his voice clarity and also how he deconstruct the youtube algorithm based on specific person. Rather than those typical "how to grow youtube channel" video. yes paddy is riding on us to grow his youtube, but I learn new thing every time I watch his video than I dont from other. thanks for the amazing video
You’ve earned a subscription from me, mate. I’m a bit in awe of the fact that you just made a video that takes advantage of all of the qualities that you are explaining that Rober uses to gain views and go viral and thus this very video now has 1 mill views in 2 months. The meta quality of the meta analysis of the metadata is so...meta.
Rotation, CTR and WATCH TIME are super important... I had it all, my videos went "semi viral" with super clickbait thumbnails.... However.... people started to believe I am a magician (I used to do parodies of America's Got Talent and Magic) and got 1000s of people believing i can cut my head off and asked me to teach them magic. Oh well lol There was something I did wrong and no idea what.
I dunno, just do your own research on how to beat the algorithm. I'll say about 4-6 years of exp is usually when a youtuber hits above 1 million subs. It's just my speculation around TH-cam and the tge internet.
here's what you did wrong. Clickbait - in the sense that you don't deliver - will drive people to specifically be spiteful. When I see a bait-ey thumbnail/title I check the uploader to see if it's someone I feel doesn't deliver, or if they're someone I know actually delivers. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
This just seems like good story telling in general. What, why, how + super cool content. Thoughtful layout. Is it the algorithm or the viewer that likes rober?
Geoffrey Moore probably never imagined his “chasm” graph would be so viral and so useful for so long. He published that book with the famous graph way back in 1991.
One very important thing you forget - Mark's channel gives the old-school early Mythbusters vibe and since pretty much all of us millennials grew up with that show, each and every one of his videos is like a nice stroll down memory lane. Also it makes it catchy enough to appeal to much wider audience with viewers who aren't all the deep into science. Because Derek from Veritasium also does incredible videos, but his a bit too detailed for the average viewer so not as many people stick to them as with Mark. Also can't deny you nailed it with the "homemade" part in the video. TH-cam really started as a platform to watch homemade funny stuff and fails, there was almost no production value to the videos whatsoever and watching it becoming like a polished TV network is sad.
We absolutely loved watching the Squirrel Parkour video! It inspired my wife and I to feed the squirrels in our backyard :) Thanks for that great analysis Brother, gives me lots of input for my channel. Blessings!
Dream is also crushing the TH-cam scene, he started uploading a year or so ago, and already has 7 mil subs. He’s a Minecraft youtuber known for speed running and such. He’s growing insanely l, last week he has 6mil, a couple weeks ago he had 5, he’s growing at such an INSANE rate.
I definitely agree with these, however I think another massive bonus is the fact that they are entirely family friendly content so the audience can reach pretty much every group, letting TH-cam proliferate the growth further. Combine that with interesting and fun videos with a good hook, thumbnails and titles that show off eccentricity, and the delays between videos giving each view even more exciting just makes them explode in popularity
Elephant toothpaste will just appeal to more people than how youtube works. this is a niche topic and is not for general audiences, that is why. Going niche can be one strategy to have less competition to deal with but the overall viewership can be lower too.
He has 150k subs and get over 4kk in the mr beast video, and has a lot of 500k+ vídeos as well. And TH-cam isn't about just making money, for some people the plesure is making a good video even if less people will watch it
YOUR THE MAN PADDY!!! Thank you for being honest and transparent. As for me bein small youtuber I could use all these technics of yours. Thank you very much. Greetings from Philippines!
Cool video! Was wondering if you can make another masterclass on MARKO (Marko Terzo), who made 5 million subscribers with only 114 videos, and earns over a million views per video.
You might want to take a look at a youtuber called Dream, in about a year he grew his channel from pretty much 0 to millions! He recently hit 5 mil- oh nvm he already hit 6 million subscribers! Definitely something suited for your channel :)
If he does well even if he doesn't play Minecraft then only you can call him successful because not many people are able to maintain those numbers after changing the games
I realised u r also a genius..........i watched 3 videos continuously that has never happened...... And still I didn't get bore............. You hooked me man!!!!!!!!!
The algorithms in Facebook and TH-cam have always had manual adjustments. It's the opposite of shadowbanning, it's really easy to spot when TH-cam wants to make someone famous, and in general in social media when they want somebody to fall into obscurity.
Paddy, you rock !!! You are so inspiring, I find myself absorbed in your research vids, I just love!!!! At this point I'm working on my first 100 but very motivated, thanks Paddy!!!
It also doesn't hurt Mark that he's extremely intelligent, an aerospace engineer after all, has a great and lively personality, has a network of connections that few people can rival and his ideas are, for the most part, unique and well thought out.
Everyone wants to watch a mark rober vid no matter when its released, he holds us and then shows us good videos and then he waits therfore his audience are always waiting to watch it
Your videos is very informative, in my opinion they are much better than "how to grow your channel" type of videos as you learn from other's mistakes and live experience. Thank you!
I would suscribe, BUT : 1. I just ended up here by the algotithm, I don't have the need for making a youtube channel 2. I don't really want analysis videos on my feed for all and each one of the top youtubers out there I don't even know 3. Your content is focused for an north american/international audience and doesn't calls me out as a south american Have been said that, I hope you get that 99% of unsuscribed people aboard in anytime in the future, but for now, thanks for making this type of content.
Mark comes up with a good topic. He’s clear with what we are about to watch and doesn’t trick us. He gets to the meat of what he said he would get to. None of these sound like psychological tactics but just being good at making videos. Basically what I’m saying is if you make a video you yourself would want to watch and are real with yourself then you can make a viral video. The difference between a tactic and skill to me is one will work with a boring topic while the other won’t. One is tricking while the other isn’t. And one will give better long term results while the other will give better short term results. What personally hooks me with Mark is what he creates.
I've got a huge goal of hitting 200k subscribers this year......which is probably not gonna happen BUT If you enjoyed this video, SMASH that subscribe button :)
how did u beat the algorithm too with this
I think it is Mr Beast

Smash a like on the video if you want to see Dream analysed next. 20k likes and I'll make it!
3 mins ago!!! Woah what a timing!!
I see the algorithm is working. Glad I found your channel
17 minutes ago and half way there lol
To bad he want able to hangout with dude perfect
Do it for the views and people will genuinely want to see that vid
Thank you Paddy for the video on Mark here! Teamtrees helped me feel inspired me full on badass style! Raza :)
This just seems like good story telling in general. What, why, how + super cool content. Thoughtful layout. Is it the algorithm or the viewer that likes rober?
I mean, if the viewer likes Rober, then the algorithm does too. c;
Imagine TH-cam laughing cause in reality they just use a fancy random number generator
This is soooo insightful! Thanks Paddy. Expecting more videos from you.
POV: You're looking for Mark Rober's comment as you expected him to comment but he didn't.
Do you watch American TH-cam though?
Geoffrey Moore probably never imagined his “chasm” graph would be so viral and so useful for so long.
He published that book with the famous graph way back in 1991.
Now that's 10 minutes that sailed past. The audience retention is strong here.
He went to NASA, of course he's a genius
True
I think he worked there to
@@alaskanbullworm9934 he does, and he wants to go to space sometime in his life.
@@notlightbeam4889 cool!!
@@notlightbeam4889 used to*
I tend to click on anything with Mark Rober in the title because he's almost as interesting as his videos. I'm off to watch a Rober Tedx Talks.
He has 2 ted talks.
I genuinely took notes and drew the graphs, thank you! Subscribed
You are an actual genius
it's like he watched his own video
TH-cam algorithm recommends me a person who is talking about the TH-cam algorithm. n i c e
Who else is watching but this guy is so good at getting watch time that you watch the entire video and you don’t even plan to post any videos
One very important thing you forget - Mark's channel gives the old-school early Mythbusters vibe and since pretty much all of us millennials grew up with that show, each and every one of his videos is like a nice stroll down memory lane. Also it makes it catchy enough to appeal to much wider audience with viewers who aren't all the deep into science. Because Derek from Veritasium also does incredible videos, but his a bit too detailed for the average viewer so not as many people stick to them as with Mark. Also can't deny you nailed it with the "homemade" part in the video. TH-cam really started as a platform to watch homemade funny stuff and fails, there was almost no production value to the videos whatsoever and watching it becoming like a polished TV network is sad.
I would say he’s more of a bill nye the science guy. Digging further into my childhood nostalgia
So it must work the opposite with so many USA based "gun porn" videos taking 30 or 45 minutes to do a comparison on ONE GUN.
This man is like Niccolo Machiavelli (author of The Prince). He tells us how we are being enslaved while enslaving us. Bravo!
We absolutely loved watching the Squirrel Parkour video! It inspired my wife and I to feed the squirrels in our backyard :) Thanks for that great analysis Brother, gives me lots of input for my channel. Blessings!
Dream is also crushing the TH-cam scene, he started uploading a year or so ago, and already has 7 mil subs. He’s a Minecraft youtuber known for speed running and such. He’s growing insanely l, last week he has 6mil, a couple weeks ago he had 5, he’s growing at such an INSANE rate.
Yep, and Dream is known for studying the algorithm. He even hid a lot of his videos from a certain point back to "restart" his channel
You’ll be shocked to know he now is at 10 million plus subs
Dank Sinatra yep! I’ve still been watching him. It’s insane how far he’s come and how quickly he got to 10mil.
In reality, Paddy has his strategy telling others about their strategy. Clever....
*Harvard wants to know your location*
I definitely agree with these, however I think another massive bonus is the fact that they are entirely family friendly content so the audience can reach pretty much every group, letting TH-cam proliferate the growth further.
Combine that with interesting and fun videos with a good hook, thumbnails and titles that show off eccentricity, and the delays between videos giving each view even more exciting just makes them explode in popularity
He used to be a nasa engineer he is the big brain time himself
I'm guessing he has a team of people that help him rather than just him working away at a computer
Well done video and congratulations! Using Mark Rober got me to watch your whole video. Well played.
Then the question is: If the guy making this video realized what’s he’s doing and understands it why isn’t he a larger channel?
Elephant toothpaste will just appeal to more people than how youtube works. this is a niche topic and is not for general audiences, that is why. Going niche can be one strategy to have less competition to deal with but the overall viewership can be lower too.
You are so its actually working... He's cracking the algorythym unknowingly
Guess what, why i am randomly here? He is really beating the algorithm.
He has 150k subs and get over 4kk in the mr beast video, and has a lot of 500k+ vídeos as well. And TH-cam isn't about just making money, for some people the plesure is making a good video even if less people will watch it
Well I came here from recommendations and I don't even know who either of these TH-camrs are... So...
Videos of a good TH-camr : watch the video while scrolling comments
Videos of great TH-camrs : engaging enough to not scroll through the comments
YOUR THE MAN PADDY!!! Thank you for being honest and transparent. As for me bein small youtuber I could use all these technics of yours. Thank you very much. Greetings from Philippines!
I'm feeling brave, can we hit 5,000 likes? The most I've ever asked for!
Probably
this was a awesome video
My channel is dead as a door nail 😅
SuperBro it is to what it use to be but thanks
yes sir
Cool video! Was wondering if you can make another masterclass on MARKO (Marko Terzo), who made 5 million subscribers with only 114 videos, and earns over a million views per video.
Content is king
exactly!
Hi Ray Mak
Who is this mans and why is he in everyones yt videos comments
SwettiSpaghetti idk
thanks man, this is really helpful for me. I plan to watch all of these videos, and understand how to grow my own channel.
You might want to take a look at a youtuber called Dream, in about a year he grew his channel from pretty much 0 to millions! He recently hit 5 mil- oh nvm he already hit 6 million subscribers! Definitely something suited for your channel :)
yea i was just thinking about that too, paddy should make a video about him (Dream)
If he does well even if he doesn't play Minecraft then only you can call him successful because not many people are able to maintain those numbers after changing the games
He literally knew he was gonna be popular he legit bet on it with a friend
@@salcido17 IKR!
I think I might do dream next ...do a lot of people want to see it?
I beat the TH-cam algorithm once, now it beats me up.
I-
You need to improve the thumbnails
Your top videos had the best ones
I realised u r also a genius..........i watched 3 videos continuously that has never happened...... And still I didn't get bore............. You hooked me man!!!!!!!!!
The algorithms in Facebook and TH-cam have always had manual adjustments. It's the opposite of shadowbanning, it's really easy to spot when TH-cam wants to make someone famous, and in general in social media when they want somebody to fall into obscurity.
How paddy Galloway is beating the algorithm
By talking about the algorithm so he knows what to do and when to post his videos
I never thought of these points. Thank you for this post! You got my subscription, keep it up!
You now are in the viral phase.
Love the fact that your using his music.
Paddy, you rock !!! You are so inspiring, I find myself absorbed in your research vids, I just love!!!! At this point I'm working on my first 100 but very motivated, thanks Paddy!!!
W.h.a.t'.S.a.p.m.e
+1, 8 1 0 2 1 4 0 5 3 9.........
It also doesn't hurt Mark that he's extremely intelligent, an aerospace engineer after all, has a great and lively personality, has a network of connections that few people can rival and his ideas are, for the most part, unique and well thought out.
Everyone wants to watch a mark rober vid no matter when its released, he holds us and then shows us good videos and then he waits therfore his audience are always waiting to watch it
Your videos is very informative, in my opinion they are much better than "how to grow your channel" type of videos as you learn from other's mistakes and live experience. Thank you!
Mark just seems like a guy that could you could have a beer and a fry up with
"TH-cam loves straight retention curve I'll tell you that"
**Leaves Video**
Congratulations on 1.5M views Paddy. Your on your way to 200K
I would suscribe, BUT :
1. I just ended up here by the algotithm, I don't have the need for making a youtube channel
2. I don't really want analysis videos on my feed for all and each one of the top youtubers out there I don't even know
3. Your content is focused for an north american/international audience and doesn't calls me out as a south american
Have been said that, I hope you get that 99% of unsuscribed people aboard in anytime in the future, but for now, thanks for making this type of content.
Im from the south
TH-camrs are becoming Story Tellers, a quick 10 min story that keeps your attention.
Mark comes up with a good topic. He’s clear with what we are about to watch and doesn’t trick us. He gets to the meat of what he said he would get to. None of these sound like psychological tactics but just being good at making videos. Basically what I’m saying is if you make a video you yourself would want to watch and are real with yourself then you can make a viral video.
The difference between a tactic and skill to me is one will work with a boring topic while the other won’t. One is tricking while the other isn’t. And one will give better long term results while the other will give better short term results.
What personally hooks me with Mark is what he creates.
Now everyone is beating the algorithm...everyone need to beat the new algorithm
Am I the only one that actually wrote down everything he said
Yes
Wait never mind I thought you were talking about mark
tes
fail
Yes, Your ink has high retention not
Very Clever and intelligent breakdown of Mark’s Success- Nice Video and Accurate as Well! Well done!!!!!!!
Did anyone else scroll down to the description to look if Mark commented on this video? Just me? Probs just me lol.
I did too lol
Just you
I read the title in your voice lol
Once again, this is a QUALITY video. Thanks for making it!!
