And it is someone taking it and giving their own unique spin on it. But the reason that works is because the audience is familiar with that format. They had a good experience with that format. And the YouTube algorithm is fully designed for viewer satisfaction, right? Like if you just think about how is it designed, it's like, did this person enjoy it?

And if they did, let's give them something else that we predict they will enjoy. And the metrics to track there are click-through rate. Was it a high click-through rate of they saw this thumbnail and they clicked into it? And then did they watch for a long time, average view duration?

And those two stats are going to give you the understanding if the viewer was satisfied, and then more content is going to surface like that. the reason you see people saying, I'm not just going to make my own format. I'm going to look at what works on YouTube and try and piggyback off of that. Cause that's like the quickest path to audience growth on YouTube, plain and simple.

Um, but again, I would say like as a, as a creative coming into the space, like I, I don't really have the stomach for that. And it probably like stunts our growth because it would be easier to just look at what's working and do that. Um, And we had a great conversation with Austin Kleon, who wrote the book, Steal Like an Artist. And I really believe in the principles that he talks about in that.

Yeah. I think there's a difference between good theft and bad theft. There's a really simple term that he talks about of even yourself being copied of... the elevator test.

Like if you get into an elevator with someone who copied your work or, uh, would they pat you on the back or would they punch you in the face where it's just like, uh, like we all know the feeling of if someone like take something we do, uh, and you're like, that's like way too similar to what I do.

And then, you know, the feeling of someone who is inspired by you and they, they make something and you're like, dude, great, great job with that. Um, that's like a really, uh, simple, simplified version of it. Um, but you know, the, the other thing he talks about is, um, in the beginning, and we did this as creators, plain and simple.

Like when we first started as the Colin and Samir channel, we were desperately trying to be like Casey Neistat. I think everyone was at that era. Uh, he was like this amazing daily vlogger, uh, was able to tell stories about his daily life that, uh, it just felt like no one had ever seen before and everyone wanted to be like him. And we tried our best and failed miserably.
