A/B Testing option for Titles & Thumbnails?
Today for the first time YouTube offered me the option of A/B testing. I chose to test titles but not thumbnails. Next time I may make different thumbnails to test. Have any of you tried this option? What feedback did you get?

Video Surging in Views
Hello everyone. Over the past 4 days I've had a video that has begun to pick up a lot of views, almost 1300 the last I looked. I'm curious what to expect if anyone has had similar experiences? Does it flatline for awhile while YT figures stuff out and resurge or does it continue to get pushed out more and more? A friend that I know had a video go viral (it did get her monetized) about 8 months ago and mentioned that her's did not pick up momentum until day 26. What I have noticed since this interest in the video, is that my other videos have begun to surge as well. Any thoughts, tips, etc?

Magic? And other contentious words in titles...
So I was watching today's live, I missed the live as I had a full on morning, at the latter end of a full on crazy, shocking, lift you off the planet and shake you up kind of week. I almost lost my sister to a pulmonary embolism and am still reeling. She is ok, out of the woods, we have been so lucky. Anyway, in the live, Rhonda mentioned that one of her videos really took off and in the title she had used the word Magic, which brought up some discussion. This had me thinking about how things like this can affect your channel, especially my niche for my old/only current channel, which is mainly based around Tarot, and how I used the cards for self guidance and healing. There are many misconceptions around things, especially words like Magic, Witch, Tarot... this is one reason why I think a new channel may work better for my healing journey/day to day vlogging. I have seen similar prejudice in the opposite way for words like miracle... which was also mentioned. I have been pulled up for using words like blessing, because I am "a wicked evil witch" who uses Tarot! I am none of those things, but you know how these things go. So I wonder if anyone has had similar issue with a word they have used in their title or even their channel name? Sorry if this is bit deep but I have been thinking about this and then Rhonda mentioned it!

Viral on the first upload!!
Just found a brand-new YouTuber channel that went viral on its first video about early retirement in your early 50s to regain health and passion. The creator already posted a thoughtful follow-up in their Community tab — really interesting to watch this unfold. https://youtube.com/@waynephipps-over50reset?si=4_PwlAeRVxId8BeQ

Monetized a Second Channel
This is crazy and I need to tell someone. I have another channel where I do tutorials and it’s been monetized for a couple of years now. But I also have another channel that just got monetized and it’s exploding. I was about to shut it down and then less than a month ago a video went viral and everything changed. I’m now at 25,000 watch hours and over 6k subs. It was sitting idle at 600+ subs when I was thinking of shutting it down. Then I did a video in a park sitting at a picnic table and it went nuts. That video has over 87k views now and I got monetized in less than a week after publishing it. The channel isn’t for everyone so don’t feel like you have to check it out and please don’t subscribe if it’s not your cup of tea. I’ll still like you. It’s something I started several years ago to document my journey out of religion. Not away from my faith but away from religious obligation. The channel name is The UnSunday Show (@unsundayshow). I have an audio podcast by the same name. Check it out if that interests you. I’ll always be Mike’s Retirement Corner in here. :)
