I really like your channel, I'm a developer who wants to learn more of the *Ops world in general.

But for me these platforms like YouTube have a big problem, they force content creators to accept that everything in life have a trade off, which in this case is quality x quantity. YouTube values quantity in the end, while it's users values quality in a strange way. Because of this, niche channels like yours, gets less attention than it should be.

Suppose today you go on YouTube and see 10 recommended videos.

There are thousands of videos it could put in these slots, so they'll be ranked and only the very best (based on metrics and your interests) will make the cut.

Video #11 might have been great, but wouldn't get suggested to you merely because it had a few seconds lower average watch time. Because of this I'd expect a 10% better video (like %, watch time) would improve its views by some huge nonlinear factor (maybe double?).

I appreciate your support I'm in it for the long game. In this world the fastest way for growth is riding the waves. An alternative is grinding to build an audience that appreciate the value you offer. The latter takes years of consistent work.
