• 5x more than Netflix
• Mr. Beast: "YouTube will eat all of media"
2) Three metrics that matter:
• Click-through rate (CTR)
• Average view duration (AVD)
• Average view percentage (AVP)
"These are the holy trinity of YouTube metrics" - Bilal
3) Jenga storytelling method:
• Show end goal upfront
• Build tension throughout
• Example: Last to take hand off Lamborghini wins it
4) Minute-by-minute retention strategy:
• Minute 1: Most crucial, invest in lighting
• Minutes 1-3: Show rapid story progression
• Minute 3: Re-engage viewers with a big moment
"At 6 minutes, viewers are on autopilot to the end" - Mr. Beast
5) A, B, C player framework:
• A players: Obsessive, coachable, best in the world
• B players: New hires with A player potential
• C players: "Poisonous", transition out immediately
"C players are awful to work with. I know, I've been one." - Trunk
6) Creativity saves money:
• $20k cash prize vs. year's supply of Doritos
• Doritos prize more viral, costs only $1,300
• Think outside the box for engaging rewards
