I made a secret channel and crushed the Square-1 WRs...

[@Oxzowachi]

This was an amazing and hilarious journey! In retrospect it should've been way more obvious but the laptop and angle change were enough for a couple days (nice one to Hassan for figuring you out!). What an awesome prank Sam :)

[@JavaCuber]

congrats on annoying sam

Nothing will annoy people and generate interest in a thing like a mystery without an answer.

They just got “Cube Rolled” by if not one of the best square-1 solvers out there

[@BrightyLighty_]

No, Cube Roll is Cary Huang

[@cyanisnicelol]

HHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH who is he?

[@BeefyDie2024]

@@cyanisnicelolcube roll, who changed their channel name to “cubykh” is Cary Huang, creator of “Battle for Dream Island”

[@moby4503]

to summarize the entire video: "This was actually a lot harder than I thought"

[@noahswor]

When I first found the channel I wasn’t even phased enough to try to figure it out, I was just like oh cool another person who’s really fast lol, entertaining vid sam

[@aykarain]

i would think that if i saw it

[@tommyfroggyy_]

This reminds me of this one time i was on a small animation app and decided to make a new account and have the community guess who i was. They got VERY close to finding my identity and I did not expect so many people to be interested in some bored kid drawing pictures on a different account.

[@Dkalieisieudu]

What was the app called

[@the_itzdracon]

3:20 just so everyone can undesrtand the whole message: "Hey cubers, in today's video i got the best average of 100 in the square ever recorded in history! And together to it, the best average of 50, and other excellent results!"

[@JJCuber27]

Loved this idea, it was funny to see the theories on who it could be. For me, I was seeing the comments on the video speculating that it was you, but the theory was confirmed once you used the Gan Square-1 lol Also 7:23 I got included oops

[@VietnameseDancingGuy]

Do you specialise mostly in square 1?

[@dripbingus4224]

honestly this shows how hard it is to be successful in youtube, even with great skills.

[@ItsGamein]

It's not as hard as you'd think, it's just most people would have no idea what to do. There are lots of ways to exploit the algorithm to get the most out of it, as long as your content is also something people would want to watch. The spiffing brit made a video recently showing how he literally edged the premier system to get 20k live viewers on a stream when he averages 1k most other streams kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIrIloSNntl7rpo There are tons of weird ways you can take advantage of the algorithm, it's not a coincidence that mr beast gets 30m+ views every video

[@wildenboy_]

I literally just watched a guy's first video 13 days ago and now he has 3-4k subs. In 13 days (he hasnt uploaded again yet)

[@nuloom]

@@wildenboy_ some people get lucky with the alg, other’s don’t. Most don’t. A lot of channels that have 3-10k ish subs and only 1 or 2 videos are bought or repurposed, so they have all their older videos removed. I guess there’s also bots in some cases. Actually getting that many subs from one video is rare and hard even for channels with 50000+ subs. Very few channels get that lucky, and that includes few of channels that have good quality work.

[@ItsGamein]

@@wildenboy_ that's a bit of an extreme example but yeah when stuff like that happens it's not pure coincidence, there are plenty of cases of people engineering videos to become popular, Andrew Tate's an example of someone who was an expert at it, even if he was a shitty person

[@PopeMical]

Partially true but he did also actively choose to ignore everything else about being a youtuber if you want to be successful. Titles, thumbnails, descriptions, and promoting are all pretty important, especially when trying to grow from nothing.

[@josiejorubric4958]

Thank you for showing how well I can spell. This was very entertaining and blatantly obvious it was you in retrospect.

[@ericzhu6620]

I think the more important lesson is that even if you did succeed on one youtube channel, it doesn't mean you can do it a second time as raising a channel requires pure luck

[@CubeMasterYT]

I disagree. While it is quite difficult and requires maybe some luck, there is plenty of skill in making good videos and doing well on KZbin. I was purposely trying to stay under the radar, but with good editing, thumbnails and titles, it won't take that long to be recognized :)

[@pacifist1354]

Watch this video by Ludwig named: I made a secret KZbin channel to prove it's not luck and your opinion might change

[@cheese_cookie]

​@@pacifist1354 I completely agree that growing a youtube channel requires a lot of skill and isn't just luck, but Ludwig's video was a very poorly controlled experiment. He literally leaked the title of the video on his "secret" channel on like three different podcasts. kzbin.info/www/bejne/amWpn3mGZdufeKc

[@kirti3839]

@@pacifist1354 yes but that video is kinda meh cause he advertised the channel a day earlier on his podcast. DarkviperAU made a pretty good breakdown of why it isn't a good way of showing what he wanted to show.

[@byeguyssry]

@@pacifist1354 Ludwig's video proves nothing. Firstly, he made a video focusing on a particularly streamer, who obliged to reacting to it. What if you want to make vids that aren't as personal? Would others still want to react to it? If no, how would you gain your initial views? Furthermore, there's a sample size of literally 1.

[@SirPrizeWildRift]

That's actually funny and entertaining how they try to solve who the person was.

I'm really surprised to realize that the video I saw when I began SQ1 is yours and you're helping me improve a lot!

[@wbcsneo]

Tymon just has an ability to see the outcome of the cube with literally each turn, its like during inspection he is memorising for blindsolving. Never gets boring watching his walkthroughs as its a real eye opener seeing what he sees.

[@solver5k]

I love this video. Your patience is epic! What a great idea, lol!!!

[@jon...5324]

I've never heard of square-1, but this video was entertaining. Good job, the algorithm has blessed you.

The cube spoke for itself 😂
