Let's see if the theory has merit, or if I'm just way off (it's possible, but that's why we theorize and test). Hopefully, this can help others out and maybe address a bug with the @TeamYouTube Platform.

If there actually something going it’s the audience. It’s always the audience.

What I don't understand is how you can have such a low conversion rate. You can get millions of views but I get more subs than Philly D? That makes zero sense. I think the audience shows up for him because he's amazing & makes great content...but why aren't NEW people showing up?

Just to clarify, I'm VERY hesitant to ever blame the algorithm for anything. I'm also doing very well, but my channel is new. I've been trying to figure out why all these older channels are giving up or starting second channels. What is making them all die off? Trying to help.

I think it's enough that it's hard for me to just blame it on the audience, content, or execution not being good enough. It's enough for me to think it's at least worth exploring. That's what I'm trying to say. 99% of the time, it's poor execution. This might be the 1%.

There is a RARE but KNOWN issue with SOME older channels and while I won’t name names people have told me about this issue before and have said they’ve talked to YouTube about it directly... (legacy bugs) That being said, age is not (IMO) the cause but it’s correlated...

My channel started back in 2006. I don’t have a growth problem bc of discoverability or algorithms. A few of my most viewed videos have nothing to do with FPT or tech. I don’t have a legacy bug. With my second Tesla channel, there’s higher growth, but that’s bc of the strategy

Starting INTENTIONALLY matters and older channels had to wing it and they grew up ok Youtube. Starting today intentionally will result in faster growth than haphazardly.
