What about people who don't have the opportunity to collab with a major network, or the people who don't have a following big enough to make a video popular?
this video doesn't really explain anything … from my own experience, youtube is a gamble.
some videos just start getting views out of nowhere, some videos are even better, get almost no views, that's what's going on with both of my channels.
it has nothing to do on how good or bad tags i use, 2 videos of same game (crashes from a car game), one gets tons of views, other gets almost none. makes no sense, it's just gamble. some videos just get shared and noticed more, even tho both are similar. and upload order makes no difference either, i've had it both ways around. One of my new videos get more views than one old and other way around too, one old video keeps getting tons of views, while one of the new ones gets almost nothing (i'm talking about similar videos, such as gameplay series, crashes and accidents ..etc).
This is something new…Thanks.
Here's the real reason that VSauce2 has views. It's because VSauce had views and passed them on to VSauce2 when it offset a few series to a second channel. The reason VSauce had views originally is because they used questionably misleading thumbnails for their IMG series.
Sure all of this sharing and collaboration stuff is important, but no large YouTuber is ever going to give a shit about anyone that wants to collaborate but has no views. Collaborations are always a 2 way deal. You want to get almost as much, if not more out of the person asking you to collaborate. Why would you spend the extra effort to do a collab if the person only has 500 subs compared to your 200k? You get barely anything out of it in return for letting 200k people know about this tiny channel.
An example of a collaboration unlike this was with Bodil40 and SkyDoesMinecraft. Bodil only had ~500 subs in January 2013, but he made a custom Minecraft map for Sky and asked to do 1 collab video at the end of the map. This worked in Bodil AND Sky's favour because Sky got a map to do a video on (free content) and Bodil got access to over a million subs. (He's reaching near to 1 mil now)
VSauce got that initial kick start of views and subs by creating lower quality content that baited clicks with somewhat misleading titles and thumbnails. Not entirely so, or else that would be blatant violation of community guidelines. But still enough to get millions upon millions of clicks from content easily sourced from the internet and roughly put together every week. This kind of content was enough to be able to move away from the click baiting formula and produce interesting content like DONG or LÜT. Quickly after starting those higher quality series, IMG died out as its purpose was served.
The series content was then moved to VSauce2 along with millions of views and subscribers, as VSauce was then able to do original and thought provoking content.
This kind of history is forgotten and is usually how the larger channels actually got their views originally, before moving on to things like social media sharing and collaborations.
Can you please make a video on channel editing…
effects, voice editing, edits…
Thanks for the tips! It really is important to collaborate with others, especially when you're just starting out. It's often quite difficult to do, but I'm going to try to find creative and interesting new ways to do this on my channel.
"something new something fresh something exciting"

Exponential growth. Explain PewDiePie. Now there's a mystery for the ages.
What is that thing called at the end of the video when you squish that thing and it makes Vsauce?
