No need for examples. YouTube is a space where creators can create whatever they want.

Of course you can make whatever you want. But if @StraightPipers starts only doing cooking videos they lose their automotive audience. If @thisistechtoday starts reviewing Fuji cameras instead of Android phones. He loses his core audience. It's not as simple as just pivoting.

True, but creators still have the choice if they really want to pursue something else. You don't HAVE to be bound by the algorithm. It might hurt you, but you can choose not to be enslaved by it if you want to make something you really love.

If you have that luxury. I have that luxury because it's not my main revenue stream. But I truly feel for the upper echelon of channels. If you don't absolutely love the content you're making that YouTube is pushing and the audience is watching. It's very hard to break away.

Which is one of the reasons why I dont think I could ever do this as a full time gig.

I do too, and it involves being on planes almost every week, so it's a reeeaaaall struggle to make any time to shoot and edit! Video idea for both of you: balancing youtube with a full time job? 馃槆

It sounds like you need to embrace a vlog format. More personal, storytelling, while feeding information about the topic you're trying to hit on regularly. That or just review travel services and experiences like planes, hotels, restaurants in a specific city, etc. 馃槈
