What's up, well, builders, today we're going to get into the YouTube algorithm I am bringing an expert on who's been doing this for over a decade now and gotten billions of views on his channel with Think Media.

I mean, I think that YouTube is an interesting place right now. I think, you know, here's the big idea.

The pandemic social media boom is over. Now, what that doesn't mean is it doesn't mean that there's

not opportunity on youtube it doesn't mean that there's not opportunity on social media i think

what also happens is people become delusional because they become used to inflated numbers

Hey, dude, this is like at least our third podcast together.

I'm grateful to be back in Las Vegas. You're rep in 305 on the bench press, and I'm inspired.

There we go, baby. So YouTube, I actually hit you up a few weeks ago. One of your

videos popped up on my feed and I was like, hey, like what do you think is really happening

with YouTube now? Because I'm personally noticing organic reach is harder to get. It takes way

you know, a lot of us don't have time to read it. They would rather listen to the expert

I mean, you want to get in during the wave? You wrote that wave. Now, what that doesn't mean is it doesn't mean that there's not opportunity on YouTube.

It doesn't mean that there's not opportunity on social media. I think what also happens is people become delusional because they become used to inflated numbers.

And so if you're used to getting 10 to 100 times the views and it drops by 10x or 100x, you're going crazy. You're like, is this even worth doing anymore? So then what's kind of interesting, though, is it's kind of like drugs. There's a reset. And if you're resetting your dopamine back to a baseline of in a way, health, if your numbers were 100,000 views of video and then you drop to 10,000 views of video, you might say, man, like, is this worth doing? But it could be a reframe. What are those 10,000 views of video worth? How are you stewarding those 10,000 views of video? Put in perspective,

the 10,000 views you were getting. Now, I know a lot of listeners might be like, dude, I'm getting like seven views. Do I get into the content game? So we have a lot of strategies for that. But I think
