YouTubes New Algorithm Is Actually On EASY Mode (Change This Setting NOW)

Summary

Creator Romero argues that YouTube creators should organize related videos as Shows to make their channels easier to browse on TV and potentially encourage longer viewing sessions. His central recommendation is to use YouTube Studio’s playlist and Show features, then group videos into coherent seasons.

The claimed benefits—higher RPM, stronger recommendations, and potentially more views—are presented as Romero’s rationale, not supported by before-and-after performance data. The opening promise that views will double is not substantiated in the subtitles.

Playbook: Set Up a YouTube Show

1. In YouTube Studio, go to Content → Playlists → Create playlist.
2. In the playlist details, select Add show features. Add a cover image designed like a TV-show thumbnail.
3. Choose a structure:
   • Non-series: Episodes can be watched in any order. Romero recommends this for most content.
   • Serial: Episodes are intended to be watched in sequence, from oldest to newest.
4. Add related videos to the playlist. Romero’s example is grouping 15 existing Blake Lively videos into a “Blake Lively drama” season.
5. Add the Show to the channel homepage through Settings → Home → Layout → Add Section → Custom Playlist, then arrange its position.
6. Build future episodes around a consistent topic rather than treating each upload as unrelated.

Strategy and Operating Rationale

• Optimize for TV viewing: Romero says YouTube is increasingly focused on the living room and that Shows can make a channel feel more like a TV destination.
• Group content into bingeable themes: A Show gives viewers related videos to watch next and can help creators extend a successful topic into a series.
• Clarify the channel’s subject matter: Romero’s theory is that organized, closely related videos help YouTube understand the content and audience, potentially improving recommendations.
• Use seasons as a content-planning system: Instead of choosing disconnected topics, plan a sequence around a subject that has already performed well.

Examples

• Automotive channel: After a successful “Best Cars of the 1970s” video, create follow-ups on the 1980s and 1990s, grouping them as a season.
• CapCut tutorials: Organize episodes on editing, adding sound effects, and color correction into a learning sequence.
• Existing back catalog: Start by clustering previously published videos on a recurring subject, as in the celebrity-news example.

Metrics and Claims Cited

• Romero says he has generated hundreds of millions of views and earned more than $2 million in YouTube advertising revenue since starting faceless channels in 2018. These are his own claims.
• He cites a February 2025 letter from YouTube’s CEO saying that most YouTube viewing was on TVs.
• He also cites 14.2% from Nielsen as the share of U.S. viewers watching YouTube on TVs; the subtitles do not clarify the precise measurement or time period.
• No specific RPM increase, view-growth result, or test comparing Show and non-Show playlists is provided.

Caveats and Business Takeaway

Romero says TV viewing may attract higher-quality advertisers and raise RPM, and that Show playlists may improve recommendations. These are presented as expected advantages, not quantified results. A practical approach is to test the feature on a focused set of related videos, track views, watch time, and RPM, and compare results with other content.

The video also promotes Romero’s paid community, which he says includes tutorials, live channel reviews, and automated tools for organizing content.
