The Danger of the "One Format" Trap
If you only post talking-head videos, you are going to get throttled by the algorithm. Everyone knows what a talking-head video is. Every editor uses the exact same captions and the exact same cuts. It is a saturated format, and if that is all you do, the platforms will label your content as boring.
You have to test different formats. You need to try reaction videos, clone videos where you talk to yourself, tier lists, and visual breakdowns. You have to force yourself to find new angles to present your expertise. The algorithm wants variety, and it will reward you when you provide it.
The strategy is simple. You test multiple formats until you find the one that hits. When Instagram or TikTok clearly shows you that a specific style is getting more reach and more engagement, you stop guessing. You double down aggressively on that winning format until it stops working.
