In this solo monologue, the speaker critiques the flood of generic "how‑to" videos that promise quick subscriber growth through thumbnail tricks, retention hacks, or niche trends. He argues that the only reliable path to YouTube visibility is to create content that is truly original and not already saturated—especially avoiding over‑covered topics like Call of Duty news or "DNA bomb" videos. He backs the claim with personal data: over the past month he experimented with varied, unconventional videos (history of Call of Duty, FaZe reaction montages, random commentaries) and gained more than 600 subscribers, a significant boost for his channel size. The speaker urges viewers to stop consuming advice‑heavy videos and instead spend that time brainstorming and producing unique ideas, asserting that originality will improve search rankings and attract viewers over time.

I come across videos all the time of how to get 1,000 subscribers, the secret to success on YouTube, all these people trying to give you tips on how to get noticed on YouTube. They'll say you have to play this game, or you have to do your thumbnail this way, or just, you know, save the tips for the end of the video so you have high audience retention, all this bullcrap. If you searched on YouTube and you clicked on this video and you're trying to find out how to get noticed on YouTube, how to grow your channel, it's simple. Be different. Don't do what everyone else is doing and you will get noticed. Over the past month I've made videos about the history of Call of Duty, I made a montage of people reacting to when they joined FaZe, I've done commentaries over just really random topics. It all seems random, but it's different stuff that hasn't been done before. And I'm feeling like it's paying off. I gained over 600 subscribers in the last month. 600 subs is a lot for a channel my size, and it's because I'm doing stuff that is different. I'm not making videos about Black Ops 3 news or posting DNA bombs, because in case you don't know, that's not gonna get you anywhere. If you make Black Ops 3 news, Ali-A, TmarTn, all those other guys are gonna pop up when people search Black Ops 3. Whatever you do talking about Black Ops 3 now is completely irrelevant and will never get anywhere. No one cares about your DNA bomb. We've seen 20 million of them, and most people don't even care about gameplay anymore. You gotta be different. You gotta do something unique, which usually means you can't do something related to COD. You can do, you know, do a commentary over COD, but if you're talking about COD, you're not gonna get anywhere because it's all been done before. You have to be 100% unique, 100% original, and that will get you high on search results, and that will slowly get you noticed over time. Okay, that's, that's it. You just gotta be different. You gotta be unique. There's no secret. If there is a secret, that's what it is. Stop searching videos on how to get noticed. Just be different and quit watching videos like this and spend this time making videos, thinking of original ideas. If you can search it and no one's done it before, do it because I guarantee you someone else will search that and that will be views on your channel and subscribers for you. That's all you need to know. All right, so that's the video.
