Hi creators,

Too many people still believe outdated myths. Let’s bust them:

1. Myth: Tags drive discovery.
Reality: Titles, thumbnails and retention matter far more.

2. Myth: Uploading daily guarantees growth.
Reality: Quality and consistency beat quantity.

3. Myth: Expensive gear = success.
Reality: Smartphones + good lighting can outperform pro setups.

4. Myth: Shadow banning exists.
Reality: Poor performance usually comes from low CTR or retention.

5. Myth: Longer videos always rank higher.
Reality: Engagement matters more than length.


Pro tip: Focus on storytelling, audience connection and retention. That’s what the algorithm rewards.
