Rising Creators Forum

To be fair, consistency work way more than chasing trends for me. I’ve tried both and anytime I go quiet for one week, my reach just dies. Once I resumed steady uploads, my impressions started rising again. I think YouTube algorithm loves active channels. I still jump on trending topics once in a while, especially if my niche, but posting steady is what really helps long-term growth. That’s how I’ve been growing my channel this 2025.

Trends is always interesting when it clicks . I once did a reaction video to a viral Naija song, and subscribers just rolled in. But after that, everything cooled off. That’s when I realized consistency is the backbone of YouTube growth. If you combine trending topics with regular uploads, you’ll see results.
