The Problem
Most YouTube advice tells you to "study successful channels" and recreate what works. But there's a fatal flaw in this approach.
A channel with 200M subscribers operates in a completely different universe. Their videos get views because of who they are, not just what they make.
Looking at a channel's typical performance tells you nothing about which specific topics have breakthrough potential in your niche.
The Solution
An outlier is a video that dramatically outperformed its channel's typical views. Not just by a little—by 10x, 50x, or even 100x.
These videos prove that a specific topic, angle, or format resonated with the algorithm and audience—regardless of the creator's subscriber count.
