We grapple with AI’s blurry line between prompting and creating, then dig into practical, grounded tactics for pivots, thumbnails, and growth that hold up under pressure. Along the way, we unpack niche strategy, device behavior, and how to build repeatable “luck” on YouTube.
• creator vs prompter with AI ethics and friction
• pivoting a monetized reaction channel into parenting
• leveraging a unique life story as a moat
• why inconclusive A/B tests default and what to do instead
• when to stop testing and enforce visual consistency
• YouTube variance vs luck and how skill compounds
• packaging tiny niches for broader curiosity
• translations and auto-dubbing realities
• TV vs mobile: lean-back design and length experiments
• experiment scope: three to five videos before judging
