For years, I thought I knew what had gone wrong with my YouTube channel.
I blamed the algorithm.
I blamed changing trends.
I blamed just about everything.
Then I looked back through my own videos and realised I had been asking the wrong question all along.
This isn't a guide on how to grow a YouTube channel.
It's the story of how I finally figured out what was really holding me back.
Thanks for watching.
