Screenshot 2025 12 23 110159

The use of YouTube access restrictions has become widespread in 2025 and it is a situation that impacts billions of people globally. And there are a number of nations that outright cause YouTube to be blocked completely, such as China, Iran, North Korea, Turkmenistan, and Eritrea, as well as numerous others that partially block certain content. The platform is often blocked at places of employment, in schools, and on public networks, even in the countries where Youtube is not restricted.

I would wake up with a whim of the day and record whatever was on my mind, hit the “upload” button, and hope for the best. Spoiler alert: I didn’t get the best. In fact, I barely got any views at all, then I asked myself how to be a successful YouTuber?

Through trial and error, after hundreds of flops-and-some-quite-pretty-damning pretty embarrassing ones, I worked out a strategy that not only helped me grow a terrific audience but also made content creation much more fun.
