We just started another YouTube channel for marketing school, and there's a lot of people saying, "Oh my God! I don't know why you're not getting more views." So when you're starting out, look for those unsolicited responses from people, those comments from people, and that is a signal. That's a leading indicator that you're you're on the right track. If you're getting no comments or negative comments, you're probably on the wrong track, right? And when you get negative comments, that to me is more of a signal than anything, and you should react to it sooner.
