The full notebook
Every journey we’ve broken down — recipe by recipe. The latest ones are on the creators page.
Keith Lee
He didn't out-produce the food-review category — he out-trusted it, by refusing free meals, staying anonymous, and pointing his camera at the underdog spots everyone else ignored.
Alix Earle
She didn't invent the Get-Ready-With-Me — she stripped it back to a FaceTime with your messiest best friend, and that raw honesty is what the algorithm caught fire on.
ChrisMD
He didn't win by uploading more football content — he won by treating each video as a short film with a personal stake, turning a crowded gaming niche into a documentary genre nobody else was making.
MrBallen
MrBallen didn't chase trends — he manufactured a genre.
Max Fosh
Max Fosh spent years being ignored on purpose — banking a library of videos nobody watched — so that when one prank went off, there was a whole channel waiting to catch the traffic instead of a single flash in the pan.
Dhar Mann
He didn't grow a personality — he industrialised a story format, turning one familiar moral conflict into a machine that ships new episodes every few days across every platform at once.
Tom Scott
He turned a single constraint — one video, every week, for ten years — into a growth machine, proving that a tightly-defined format shipped relentlessly beats talent shipped occasionally.
Cleo Abram
She bet on an emotion nobody else was selling — optimism — and wrapped it in newsroom-grade rigour, so every video answers one irresistible question: what if this technology actually works?
Simon Squibb
He turned one repeatable question into a content engine: instead of teaching business in long lectures, he films strangers answering "What's your dream?" — a format so simple it prints a fresh, emotional clip every single day.
Chris Williamson
A former Love Island contestant turned a bedroom mic into one of the biggest ideas podcasts by treating clips — not the full episode — as the real growth engine.
Johnny Harris
He took the one skill nobody else on YouTube had — TV-grade documentary craft — and pointed it at the questions people actually type into a search bar, then made himself the on-screen narrator so a dry geopolitics lesson felt like a friend dragging you down a rabbit hole.
Bailey Sarian
She stopped competing inside a saturated beauty niche and welded it to another obsession people watch for hours — true crime — then chained the hybrid to a weekly ritual so viewers came back on a schedule instead of by chance.
