argues that naturalism cannot explain how we know subjective experience exists.

Too many talented small YouTubers get stuck at <100 views — not because their content’s bad, but because the algorithm needs that first spark of real human engagement.

So here’s my small experiment:

✅ I’ll pick 5–10 channels (must be ≤1,000 subs, any niche)

✅ Watch 3 full videos from each (no skipping!)

✅ Leave a thoughtful comment on each (not just “nice video” — I’ll mention something specific I learned or liked)

✅ Subscribe if I genuinely enjoy the content

How to enter:

Comment below with:

Your channel name

Your niche (e.g., “budget travel India,” “CA exam tips,” “home cooking hacks”)

One video you’re most proud of (link optional — I’ll find it)

Bonus: Reply to 1–2 other creators in this thread with encouragement or a tip. (Community > competition!)

Why I’m doing this:

I’ve been where many of you are — 9+ years in corporate, exploring YouTube as a side hustle, knowing the content is solid but struggling with that first 1,000 subs. If we all gave just 10 minutes to a fellow newbie, the ripple effect could be huge.

⏰ Timeline:

I’ll start watching this Sunday (Oct 5) and finish by Wednesday (Oct 8).

I’ll update this post with a list of channels I supported (so you can return the favor if you like!).

Ground rules:

No spammy channels (reused clips, AI voiceovers with no value, etc.).

If your channel is >1K subs, please skip — let’s focus on true newbies.

If I miss your channel this round, drop it again next month — I’ll run this quarterly.

Let’s prove that real humans > algorithms — at least for a week. 🙌
