Is Sam Sulek changing the future of YouTube?
1/22/2024
There has been a rise in successful channels that many would consider “unoptimized." Have you noticed this? One example of this is Sam Sulek . He is a fitness creator who is blowing up even though he breaks all the rules of YouTube with his thumbnails, video length, and low production value.
