0:00In this video, I'm going to be handing
0:01you the new method to beat the 2026
0:03YouTube algorithm with Claude Aai. And
0:05this is the same method behind community
0:07members pulling $185,000
0:10in a single month and brand new channels
0:12blowing up from zero to making a
0:13full-time income in less than a month
0:15under the new rules. And this is coming
0:16from someone who's made over $10 million
0:18personally from YouTube and I have over
0:201.5 million subscribers. And it's
0:22someone who's watched this algorithm
0:24shift happen from the inside in my own
0:26analytics and on my own channels, not
0:28from guessing. And here's the promise.
0:30By the end of this video, you will know
0:31exactly why pick a niche and grind is
0:33dead. And you're going to know what
0:35YouTube is actually rewarding right now.
0:37Plus, you're going to know the simple
0:38four-step system for building a channel
0:39that the algorithm literally can't kill.
0:42A channel that essentially forces the
0:44algorithm to show your videos. So, I'm
0:46going to walk you through real channels
0:47at every level, from total beginners to
0:49a creator who turned his channel into a
0:51$37 million payday, plus the exact cloud
0:54prompts that do the heavy lifting for
0:56you. Now, quick warning. This space is
0:58drowning in AI slop. Recycled garbage
1:00from people with zero results who never
1:02started a successful YouTube channel
1:04except for the channel where they're
1:05teaching other people how to be
1:07successful at YouTube. But I started a
1:08successful YouTube channel and business
1:10based off of YouTube that got to
1:12multiple seven figures a year before I
1:14ever taught a single person a single
1:16thing about YouTube. And I actually give
1:18a whether you win. So every single claim
1:20in this video comes with a real name and
1:22a real number, right? So I'm bringing
1:24the receipts. So, if you appreciate me
1:25making this type of content, then let me
1:27know by gently cheersing that like
1:29button and let's jump into it right now.
1:31Okay, let me show you something from my
1:33own analytics first, right? My main
1:35channel makes about $400 for every 1,000
1:38views that it gets. And this is from all
1:40income streams. Now, just from AdSense
1:42alone, last year the channel did about
1:45$477,000.
1:46And under the new algorithm, it's
1:48growing faster, not slower. Now, compare
1:50that to creators crying that the
1:52algorithm killed their channels. Same
1:54platform, same algorithm, completely
1:56different results. So, what actually
1:58changed? Well, for years, YouTube was
2:00rigid. You picked a box, the algorithm
2:02put you in that box, and if you ever
2:04stepped outside of it, your views fell
2:05off of a cliff. That is over. The
2:07algorithm stopped asking, did people
2:09watch this? And they started asking,
2:10were people satisfied by this? For
2:13instance, did the video actually solve
2:15the thing that the viewer came to solve?
2:16That's the metric now. And that one
2:18shift changed everything about which
2:20channels went. See, I'm not the most
2:22charismatic person in the world, but
2:23what I always make sure to do is to
2:25deliver highquality information on this
2:27channel. And so, there might be other
2:28people that beat me in the short term
2:30because they're really good at
2:31marketing, they have a lot of flash, but
2:33in the long run, I know that my channel
2:35is going to win because I'm actually
2:36satisfying the viewer, right? I'm
2:38delivering highquality information
2:40because two things are suddenly true at
2:42the same time. Hyperspecific niche
2:43channels are working better than ever
2:45because they satisfy a very specific
2:47viewer very hard. And channels can pivot
2:50into new topics more easily than ever
2:52because the algorithm now follows viewer
2:55satisfaction wherever it goes instead of
2:57punishing you for leaving the box. So,
2:59it's much less rigid and much more
3:00human. And Claude is going to be able to
3:02help with this a lot. More on that here
3:03in a moment. Which is why the algorithm
3:05is killing small channels is complete
3:07bull because the algorithm has never
3:08been more willing to blow up a small
3:10channel that satisfies viewers. But what
3:12it's killing is unsatisfying content.
3:15And here's how I want you to think about
3:16the algorithm. It's an ecosystem, right?
3:19Because that's literally what it is. And
3:20the ecosystem just went through a
3:22climate shift. The food moved, the
3:24terrain changed, and the old survival
3:26strategy stopped working. And when that
3:28happens in nature, it's not the small
3:29animals that die. It's the ones that
3:32can't adapt. Which brings me to the real
3:34problem. The method that everyone taught
3:35you was built for the old ecosystem.
3:38Time out. Time out, guys. If you ever
3:39thought, "I should be on YouTube, but I
3:41never started because of the time or the
3:43editing or not knowing what to say or
3:45not knowing how to get started," AI just
3:48solved all of those problems for you
3:50because you can now make money from
3:52YouTube working less than 4 hours a
3:54week. 15 to 30 minutes a day is all you
3:56need. And this works even if you have a
3:57full-time job, you run a business,
3:59you're already doing YouTube and you
4:01failed at it, or you're doing YouTube
4:03and you're doing pretty well, but you're
4:04struggling with monetization, or you're
4:05just a normal person who isn't techy at
4:07all. Which is exactly why this week I'm
4:10hosting a live training on exactly how
4:12to start YouTube step by step for
4:14beginners. It is 100% free, no cash at
4:17all. And on top of that, I'm going to be
4:19handing out even more bonuses at the
4:21training. Now, just to give you one
4:22example, you'll be getting my niche
4:24validator pro that's powered by Claude
4:26and we have a chat GBT version as well.
4:28And this is a super valuable piece of
4:30software where you can finally figure
4:32out what the best niche for you is. Or
4:34if you already have a niche, it's going
4:35to help you make it 10 times better. So,
4:37do not sleep on this one. Go and grab
4:39your spot down in the description and
4:40the pin comment below because the only
4:42way to get it is by joining the
4:44training. So, if you wait, you might
4:46miss out. Now, with that said, at the
4:47workshop, you will get to meet me
4:49personally. I will be answering
4:50questions before, during, and after the
4:53workshop directly. So, I'm looking
4:54forward to seeing you there. So, go
4:56click that link in the description and
4:57the pinned comment below. It's happening
4:59this week, so get it on your calendar.
5:01And if for some reason you can't make it
5:02or you weren't able to be there, still
5:05go click that link in the description
5:06because it will automatically put you on
5:08a wait list to notify you when we'll be
5:10running our next live training and you
5:11will be the first one to hear about it.
5:13So, yeah, looking forward to seeing you
5:14there. And now, back to our regularly
5:16scheduled programming. So, let's start
5:17with the wild example of this that I
5:19know. The platform itself. YouTube did
5:21not start off as YouTube. It started off
5:22as a video dating site. And I'm not
5:24making this up. The original idea was
5:26that you'd upload a video about yourself
5:28and you'd use it to find a date. And it
5:30completely flopped. Now, the founders
5:31were directionally incorrect. They knew
5:33that video was going to be massive. So,
5:36they made a video product, but it wasn't
5:38quite the right one. But the founders
5:39noticed something. People were uploading
5:41videos of everything. their pets, their
5:43trips, random clips, and they were using
5:46YouTube to either broadcast themselves
5:47or in some cases as storage. So they
5:50pivoted and the slogan literally became
5:52broadcast yourself. And that pivot
5:54became the biggest video platform in
5:56human history. So the most valuable
5:57pivot ever made on YouTube was YouTube
6:00itself. Now, here's why that matters for
6:02you. The old method, the one that every
6:04guru taught for a decade, goes like
6:06this. You pick a niche, you stay in that
6:07niche forever, and you never leave. And
6:09in the old rigid ecosystem, that worked.
6:12the same way a highly specialized animal
6:14works. Think about a creature that's
6:16perfectly evolved for one environment,
6:18right? It dominates that little pocket
6:20of the world, but you move it to a
6:21different environment or you change the
6:22climate on it and it dies. It has no
6:25other moves, right? If you take a snake
6:27and you bring it to Antarctica, it's
6:29probably not going to survive. And
6:31that's a niche locked channel. It's
6:32perfectly adapted to one ecosystem with
6:35zero ability to survive a shift. And
6:37here's the brutal part. Most businesses
6:39die exactly this way. You open a gym,
6:42you get 99 out of a 100 things right,
6:44one thing goes wrong and it fails and
6:46unfortunately you can't pivot. You can't
6:48turn a gym into a dental office. And
6:50unfortunately, the lease or how much
6:52money invested in the business doesn't
6:53care how hard that you worked. YouTube,
6:55on the other hand, is the only business
6:57that I know where pivoting is basically
6:59free. But only only if you set up a
7:02channel the right way from the
7:04beginning. Set it up wrong and you've
7:05built the specialist animal. One
7:07algorithm update away from extinction.
7:09Set it up right and you've built
7:10something else entirely. So, a good
7:12example of where this is all going is
7:13Alex Herozi. Hormoszi started as the guy
7:17for one hyperspecific audience.
7:19Basically, he was teaching sales and
7:21marketing for gym owners and that was
7:22it. That was his whole niche. And look
7:24at his channel now. He talks about
7:26whatever he wants, business, money,
7:28hiring, mindset, content, his book
7:30launches, etc. Anything. How to work
7:32out, how to stay fit, anything, right?
7:34And it all works. But the point is he
7:35niched down first. He won that niche
7:38completely and then he transcended it.
7:40And he's even said it himself. Your
7:41follower number is literally irrelevant.
7:44What matters is who's watching and how
7:46much they trust you. And it's not just
7:48him. Love him or hate him, look at Elon
7:50Musk. The man runs like 17 different
7:52companies in 17 completely different
7:54industries, right? Okay, I think it's
7:55like seven, but you get the point. The
7:57point is he doesn't have a niche. He is
8:01the niche. And that's the new method.
8:03It's called the hybrid personal brand.
8:05And to start with the hybrid personal
8:06brand, you need to start with what's
8:08known as a niche 2.0. So you still niche
8:11down at first, right? That part hasn't
8:13changed. But you build the channel in
8:15such a way so that over time you rise
8:18above the niche until you're not a
8:20channel about X anymore. You're you and
8:23people show up for you. Now you remember
8:24the ecosystem. Some animals only survive
8:27in one environment. And then there's the
8:29crocodile. So crocodiles or
8:30crocodile-like animals have been around
8:32for something like 250 million years.
8:34They survived ice ages. They survived
8:37dinosaurs going extinct. The entire
8:39planet changed around them over and over
8:41again. And they just kept going. And
8:43that is not luck. That is a build that
8:45works almost everywhere. So here's the
8:47real question. Do you want to be the
8:49niche channel that dies the moment the
8:51algorithm updates? Or do you want to be
8:53the crocodile, the apex predator
8:56that stays around no matter what
8:58happens? And the build works in almost
9:00any ecosystem. Well, a hybrid personal
9:02brand does just that. It's good because
9:04it adapts to changing environments. For
9:07instance, it works with almost any
9:08monetization method. In fact, it usually
9:10runs several income streams at once.
9:13Because the truth is, just about every
9:14side hustle out there, every business
9:16out there, they all work, but what they
9:18need is traffic and distribution. And
9:20YouTube offers the highest level of
9:22traffic and distribution on the entire
9:24internet. The leads that you get from
9:26YouTube are going to be better than the
9:27leads you get from any other platform.
9:28And it's not even close. One of my sales
9:31guys right now is closing over 60% from
9:33the leads that he's getting from
9:34YouTube. And that's at a high volume. A
9:36hybrid personal brand works really well
9:37when the competition is high. And it
9:39works really well when the competition
9:40is low. It works when demand explodes or
9:42when demand dries up. And when the
9:44ecosystem shifts, it shifts with it.
9:47Right? If your niche gets too
9:48competitive, you can just switch to a
9:49new niche. You can expand your niche.
9:51You can niche down further. you can
9:53pivot to a completely different niche
9:54altogether. And one of the most
9:56important things and this is one of the
9:57biggest reasons that businesses die that
10:00nobody ever talks about is you are going
10:02to change because yes the marketing
10:04environment can change whatever you sell
10:06can change so your product can change
10:07your customers can change but also you
10:10can change as well. You are a growing
10:12breathing changing human being and you
10:15want to build a business that can grow
10:16and evolve and change with you and this
10:19is the only channel structure that can
10:20allow you to do that. So here are the
10:22four steps to build it. So step one is
10:24the niche hypothesis statement. Now if
10:26you want help choosing your niche or you
10:29already have a niche but you want to
10:30make it 10 times better, we have an AI
10:32called the niche validator AI and it has
10:34been trained on thousands of hours of us
10:36helping our community members pick their
10:38niches or dial their niches in. And we
10:40are giving away that niche AI at a free
10:42training that I'm doing this week. Click
10:44the link in the description, the pin
10:45comment below. Should be the first link
10:47there. And in this free training, we're
10:48going to be teaching you exactly how to
10:49grow your hybrid personal brand and grow
10:51a YouTube channel step by step. We're
10:53going to teach you how to do it in less
10:54than four hours a week. And we're going
10:55to be giving away this niche AI and it's
10:58all completely free. Do not miss out on
11:00it. Click that link in the description
11:01in the pin comment below. There are
11:02limited seats. Last time we did this, we
11:04completely ran out. So, make sure you
11:06click that link and check it while you
11:07still can. And if you're seeing this in
11:08the future, still click that link
11:10because it will automatically redirect
11:11you to whenever our next free live
11:13training is. So, a community member of
11:15mine, Isaiah, is a perfect example of
11:17this step done right. So, he came in as
11:19a beginner and he locked in on one
11:22crystal clear statement about exactly
11:24who he helps and what he helps them do.
11:26Right? He helps intermediate level
11:27singers get to a professional level of
11:29competence. And he did nearly $30,000 in
11:32a single month when he first started
11:34with us. Not because he's special, but
11:36because the target was clear. So, here's
11:38step one. You write a niche hypothesis
11:40statement. And it's one sentence. I help
11:42X do Y by Z or I help X overcome Y by Z.
11:45Now the byz part, the actual method that
11:48barely matters at all at this point. So
11:49don't obsess over it. In fact, a lot of
11:51companies don't even talk about their
11:52method, right? They just keep their
11:53method under the wraps because they want
11:55to keep it secret. But notice the word
11:56that I use though. It's a hypothesis.
11:59It's not a life sentence. You're not
12:01marrying this, right? It's not your
12:02brand identity carved into stone, right?
12:04A hypothesis is a starting point that
12:06you fully expect to update. And chances
12:09are this will not be your final niche.
12:11And that's not a failure. That is
12:13literally the system working. And this
12:14works in basically any niche, right?
12:16Community members of mine are running
12:18this exact play everywhere. For
12:19instance, Antoine built his channel
12:20helping black professionals advance
12:22their careers to over $100,000 a month.
12:24Alex went from an absolute standing
12:26start to $15,000 a month, helping people
12:29graduate from college faster. Bill helps
12:31accounting professionals level up to
12:33become financial controllers, which is a
12:35very high level accounting career where
12:37you can make multiple six figures a
12:38year. And he made it to 70,000 in a
12:40single month. R.J. helps retirees
12:42unretire into work that they actually
12:44love. And he made it to nearly $30,000
12:46in a single month just a few months
12:48after starting. And then there's Jud's
12:49channel. He got to over 500,000
12:51subscribers and he's crushing it. And it
12:52just keeps going, right? Financial
12:54controllers, retiree, realtors, nurses,
12:56doctors, etc. Different niches,
12:58different ages, but the same first step.
13:00And this is one of the places where the
13:01tool genuinely matters. Now, I use
13:03Claude for this because Claude is just
13:05way better for creative work. And we
13:07have a light version of the Claude
13:08skill, which again, you can click the
13:10link in the description, the pin comment
13:11below to check that out. It will be the
13:13third link down there. And then you can
13:14go ahead and copy and paste this prompt
13:16into Claude and just talk back and forth
13:18with it. So, here's how to start. Open
13:20Claude. The free plan is fine to start.
13:22Pro is $20 a month if you want more
13:23room. Paste the prompt on the screen and
13:25then give it 10 honest minutes about
13:27your skills, your experience, and who
13:28already comes to you for help in real
13:30life. And then pick the one hypothesis
13:32that you could talk about for a 100
13:34videos. Write it as a single sentence. I
13:36help X do Y or I help X overcome Y. And
13:38then at the top of your channel doc,
13:40that sentence is the filter for every
13:42video idea that you have this month.
13:44Now, if you're thinking, "Sure, but I'm
13:45not a natural at this stuff." Well, let
13:47me tell you about my brother. Zach is in
13:48his 50s. He has a bluecollar background.
13:50And I say this with love, he is not a
13:52techsavvy guy. And he ran this exact
13:55step, locked in a hypothesis around
13:57helping people pick the right skilled
13:58trade for them. And by day 29, his brand
14:01new channel went from zero to a
14:02full-time income. He made $214 in
14:04AdSense in a single day. Right? So he
14:06literally went from zero to a full-time
14:08income in less than one month. And just
14:09last month, he had an over $18,000
14:12month. And I'm actually going to go over
14:13exactly how we helped him grow his
14:15channel this week in the live training
14:16that I'm doing. So click the link in the
14:18description in the pin comment below.
14:19Plus, I'll be giving you an update on
14:20how his channel is doing now. All right,
14:22so step two is to earn the right to
14:24expand. And a good example of this next
14:26step is my community member Josh. So
14:28Josh built his channel in the IT and
14:30cyber security niche. And this is one of
14:32the most locked in specific niches that
14:33you can imagine. And he went deep, real
14:36skills, real walkthroughs, real career
14:38results for his viewers. And he
14:39satisfied that one specific viewer
14:41harder than anyone else was willing to,
14:44right? And he was basically helping
14:45people in the IT niche get better jobs.
14:47And that satisfaction turned into
14:49something that the algorithm can't
14:51measure directly but absolutely rewards
14:53which is trust. Because once his
14:56audience trusted him on cyber security,
14:57they wanted his take on the adjacent
14:59stuff like career moves, income, skills,
15:02and the channel expanded with them. And
15:03by working with us, we helped him get
15:05all the way up to $185,000 in a single
15:08month. So that's step two. You earn the
15:10right to expand. Now, here's the thing
15:12about viewer satisfaction. It compounds,
15:14right? Goodwill compounds far faster
15:17than money does. So if you give someone
15:18a genuine result, even a small one,
15:20they'll listen to you on the next topic
15:22and then the one after that and before
15:24you know it, you have a lifelong fan.
15:26And that's the actual mechanism behind
15:28transcending the niche. It's not a
15:30trick. It's just trust stacked over
15:32time. Now, most people get this
15:33completely backwards. They try to talk
15:35about everything on day one before
15:37anyone trusts them on anything. And then
15:40they wonder why nothing sticks. But
15:41you're not going to do this, right? No.
15:43Nail the niche first. serve that one
15:45viewer so hard that they would feel dumb
15:47for not subscribing. Then expand to one
15:50adjacent step at a time. So here's the
15:52Claude prompt. I'm going to put it up on
15:54the screen. You can copy this just like
15:55literally screenshot it and then paste
15:57into Claude. And I highly recommend you
15:58use our Claude skills as well. So again,
16:00links in the description in the pin
16:01comment below. But here's how to start.
16:02Pull the five most common questions that
16:04your ex as in the iHel X actually asks
16:08from Reddit threads, Facebook groups, or
16:10the comments of your competitor's
16:12channels. and then make your next five
16:13videos answer one question each
16:16completely. No teasing, no fluff, full
16:19answers. Then run the prompt on screen
16:21against every video that you publish to
16:23find what viewers say that they still
16:24need. And that list is your next five
16:26videos. Now, the best example of this
16:28step might be Doug Demiro. Doug spent
16:30years reviewing cars on YouTube and
16:32became the most watched car reviewer in
16:34the country. Then the world shut down
16:36and in-person car auctions basically
16:38froze. But people still wanted to buy
16:40and sell cool cars. So Doug launched an
16:42online auction site, carsandbids.com,
16:44and he plugged straight into the
16:46audience's trust that he'd been building
16:48for years. And he later sold a majority
16:50stake of that business for what was
16:52reportedly at the time over $80 million,
16:54but he ended up getting $37 million for
16:57himself. Now, here's the question. When
16:59Doug uploaded his very first car review,
17:01do you think that he knew the endgame
17:03was a car auction website? There was a
17:050% chance. Zero. Okay. And that's the
17:08entire point of step three. You are not
17:10Doctor Strange, right? You can't look at
17:121 million possible futures and pick the
17:15one winning outcome from your couch,
17:17right? Nobody can. Calling it perfect
17:19from day one is a one ina- million
17:21fluke. Here's what actually happens in
17:23the other 9990,999
17:25cases. You get in the trenches. You make
17:28content. You try selling things. You
17:30watch what people respond to. You notice
17:32what's working for other creators. You
17:34modify. You test. You adapt. You adjust.
17:37And through plain old trial and error,
17:39you eventually find the one thing that
17:42fits you perfectly, right? The one thing
17:44that fits you and your audience
17:46perfectly. And then you make a ton of
17:48money doing it. And you have no idea
17:50what your winner is yet. And neither did
17:52Doug. and neither did 99.9%
17:55of other successful entrepreneurs. And
17:57that is normal. That is the process.
18:00YouTube started off as a dating app.
18:02Slack started off as a video game. And
18:04Mr. B started off making gaming videos.
18:07So the hybrid personal brand is what
18:08makes the process possible because the
18:11channel is built around you, not around
18:13a box. So every pivot keeps your
18:16audience instead of abandoning it. All
18:17right, so I'm going to put the Claude
18:19prompt up on the screen. You can again
18:20screenshot it, copy and paste into
18:22Claude. And here's how to start. Once a
18:23month, export your YouTube Studio
18:25numbers. We're talking the views, the
18:27average view duration, and the
18:28click-through rate for the last 10 to 20
18:29videos. And then paste them into Claude
18:31with the prompt on the screen. Ask for
18:32the three strongest signals and one
18:35adjacent topic to test. Make one test
18:37video on that topic within two weeks.
18:39And this will be a small bet, but it'll
18:41be real data. There's no guessing. All
18:42right, so let's talk about how to become
18:43the niche, cuz one of my favorite
18:44examples is a community member of mine
18:46named Craig. So Craig is a realtor in
18:48Montana. He's in his 70s and he has one
18:50of the biggest realy businesses in
18:52Montana. And he is about as far from a
18:54YouTube native as a human being can
18:56possibly get. And one of his very first
18:58videos that he did with us got to over a
19:00100,000 views. And he literally recorded
19:02it on his webcam laptop.
19:03>> There are some very large land owners in
19:05Montana who handled this the right way.
19:08Now, let me give you a good example.
19:10Charles Schwab. Schwab owns thousands of
19:13acres along the Bitterroot River bottom.
19:15>> And here's what's interesting. People
19:16don't show up to that channel for real
19:19estate content. They show up for Craig,
19:20right? His experience, his stories, and
19:22his way of seeing things. So, the niche
19:25got him discovered, but he is what they
19:27actually stay for. And that's step four.
19:28You become the niche. And this is the
19:30end state of the hybrid personal brand.
19:32The point where the channel stops being
19:34about channel X and starts being your
19:37platform. And at that point, look at
19:39what you're actually holding. Right?
19:40It's a channel that works with almost
19:42any monetization method and usually runs
19:44several at once. So, no single income
19:47stream can kill you. It's a channel that
19:48works whether the competition is brutal
19:49or non-existent, whether demand is
19:51exploding or drying up. And it's a
19:53channel that evolves when the ecosystem
19:55evolves, including when you evolve. New
19:57interests, new skills, new seasons of
19:59your life, the channel morphs with you.
20:01Now, remember that crocodile? 250
20:03million years of the whole planet
20:05changing and it's still here. And look,
20:07if a realtor in his 70s can build this,
20:10what's your excuse? No, seriously, say
20:12it out loud. Too old? Just look at
20:14Craig. Not technical. Look at my
20:16brother. Too late. The algorithm
20:17literally just reset the game in your
20:19favor. So, you are early. So, you are
20:21the only variable left. So, here's the
20:23next Claude prompt. Again, I'm going to
20:24put on my screen. You can just
20:25screenshot it, put it into Claude. And
20:27here's how to get started. Add one
20:28personal video per month alongside your
20:30niche content. Could be a story, a
20:32lesson, an opinion that shows how you
20:34think. And watch whether your regulars
20:36stick around for it. Right? Average view
20:38duration is the tell here. And when your
20:39personality videos holds the same
20:41retention as your niche videos, that's
20:43going to be the green light to widen
20:45out. Okay, so let's bring this home. The
20:46algorithm is not a boss fight that you
20:48beat once. It is an ecosystem that you
20:50evolve with. And it just shifted in
20:52favor of exactly the kind of channel
20:54that I showed you how to build today.
20:56Niche down, deliver, pivot, transcend,
20:59be the crocodile. The gurus can keep
21:01arguing about upload schedules and
21:03posting frequency and all these little
21:04things that make a tiny difference but
21:06don't really matter all that much. And
21:07that's the fight for people that don't
21:08know what you know now. And listen, I
21:10know 99% of you are just going to watch
21:12my YouTube videos, get a ton of value
21:14out of them. You're going to download
