      His content doesn’t suit the algorithm. You need shorter form, clickbait, entertaining content (entertaining, in the way a slot machine is entertaining.) Naroditsky doesn’t create the same low-education high-entertainment-value content that Hikaru, Levy, Botez, et al create.

      He won't become one of the biggest chess channel. Cuz he doesn't teach chess, he teaches how to take logically sound decisions both on tactical and strategic level. That's a bit too much for an average youtuber. An average youtuber would prefer some comedy or drama over chess with all the dancing, singing, maybe streaping etc etc.

    Can't believe an 1130 rated chess game could have such a complicated analysis
    👁️👄👁️ Anyway I'm already 1350 and I could say that I think very different when confronted in same situation.
    I wouldn't have found the Qe4 leading to Qb8 checmate at all and had never done a similar checkmate out of my 1000+ games.
    I would've just taken the knight instead of realizing that I have a mate in 2. Still this is educational for me and my goal is to be 1500 so I'm confident this video will help me
    Edit: honestly speaking, danya's vids are very helpful especially for 1200+ rated players but I don't think it's beginner friendly. If you're 1000 rated and below, these info might overload you so I suggest you guys take a look for Eric Rosen. His gameplay are more suitable for beginners.
    But I'm not discrediting Danya here. As I've said, currently his videos are the most helpful to me as a 1350 rated player
