Why do most YouTube videos fail? 📉

It usually has nothing to do with the algorithm… and everything to do with the topic you chose. The topic determines the click, the watch time, the audience, and whether your channel grows or stalls.

Sean teaches a simple 3-question audit every creator should ask:

1️⃣ Did they click?
Your title, topic, and thumbnail must create curiosity and promise value.
If people don’t click, the video never even gets a chance. 👀⚡

2️⃣ Did they stay?
Retention reveals the truth.
If viewers aren’t watching long enough, the topic either wasn’t strong enough or the content didn’t deliver on the promise. Watch time is king. ⏳🔥

3️⃣ Did they subscribe?
If the video didn’t make them want to see more from you, it wasn’t aligned with your niche, your value, or your unique point of view.
Subscribers come from clarity and consistency. 📌🎥

Most videos don’t fail because creators are bad — they fail because the topic wasn’t compelling enough to win the click, hold attention, and create loyalty.

Focus on stronger topics, run the audit, and your YouTube growth gets a whole lot simpler. 📈✨
