When starting a faceless commentary channel and going from an inconsistent 100-1,000 views per video, this is the rule I started to implement, and I still use on my Glider Guy channel it's called the 'The 1-1-1 Cross-Pollination Rule' Every video I post on Glider Guy includes: 1. Main Villain Focus — the freak you’re exposing today/topic you're covering 2. Callback Villain — a quick reference to a past video (“This is just like Billy’s cult”). 3. Foreshadow Villain — a teaser of what’s coming next (“And this new animator might be even worse…”). Why it works: - It chains your videos together like episodes of a series. - Your watch time and session time shoot up because people don’t just watch one, they binge through multiple videos - Binge = faster hours → monetization unlocked way quicker. Bottom line is: stop looking at your videos as 1 off projects, look at them as a system of uploads specifically designed to bring the viewers through a story that doesn't end in only 1 video, make them watch MULTIPLE. there's nothing YouTube loves more then a binge session. if you have viewers watch 1 video for 30 minutes vs 6 videos for 5 minutes each, YouTube prefers the 6 videos for 5 minutes, as it gets them in a loop of click, watch, click watch, there's much more friction when you watch 1 video for 30 minutes to click again vs 6 videos for 5 minutes.
