Key Takeaways
Master the 'native tongue' of video production by learning tools like CapCut and principles of cinematography, as raw content is being replaced by high-quality cinematic standards.
Monitor the 'view-to-subscriber' ratio to identify breakout talent; creators who consistently outperform their subscriber count are the future leaders of the platform.
Apply cinematic storytelling to boring or niche industries to create an 'existential crisis' for competitors who rely on traditional, low-engagement marketing.
