How to Defeat the Algorithm’s Gaping Maw

CREATOR NEWSLETTER

Issue #261 | August 6, 2024

Presented by:

At every VidCon I’ve attended, someone mentions the name Paddy Galloway. It’s not a name most people recognize, but for creator economy conference goers, spending time scrolling through Galloway’s tweets is a bit of a rite of passage.

Galloway himself isn’t exactly the one in the spotlight, but his strategy is. He is regarded in the industry as one of the top YouTube growth experts, working with clients like PrestonPlayz (15.8m subscribers), Loverfella (3.2m subscribers), and the one and only MrBeast (308m subscribers). On his X account, Galloway frequently shares advice for YouTubers.

Passionfruit writer John-Michael Bond read a bunch of Galloway’s tweets about building an audience from scratch so you don’t have to. All that knowledge is compiled into this nifty guide about “defeating the algorithm’s gaping maw.” If you make cool stuff on the internet and want to build an audience, it’s always nice to take some cues from the experts.
