In current times, those things have changed drastically. I review a few things/metrics you need to look at as a creator. These things are Engaged audience, watch time, view counts, and more.

In this episode, we delve into a common struggle many YouTube creators face: the identity crisis. Often, creators feel pressured to conform to a particular style or persona that they believe will garner more views and subscribers. However, this approach can lead to a loss of authenticity and negatively impact their connection with their audience. We discuss the importance of embracing your unique voice and maintaining transparency with your viewers. By staying true to yourself, you not only foster a stronger community but also establish a consistent and trustworthy brand that resonates with your audience. Tune in to explore why authenticity beats imitation every time.
