YouTube: Quality and Uniqueness will triumph over Quantity and Speed.

Look at this YouTube channel screenshot. Notice something? Only a few videos bring in most of the views and subscribers. That’s the 80/20 rule in action for creators — a handful of hits create nearly all the growth.

Why it works

• Audiences reward quality, not quantity.
• Algorithms amplify engagement magnets.
• Evergreen content compounds results over time.
• Unique ideas build authority faster than speed can.

Examples

• MrBeast’s top 5 videos drive over a billion combined views.
• HubSpot’s blog gets most organic traffic from under 10 posts.
• Ahrefs’ “How Google works” video outperforms 90% of their uploads.
• The AIDA formula tutorial screenshot here has 10x more plays than most uploads.

Make something great once, and it’ll keep working while you sleep.
