Why 2026 will be 7x harder for new YouTubers
I need to be brutally honest with you...
I need to be brutally honest with you
2026 is the year YouTube gets crowded
And I mean really crowded
See, here's what's happening...
AI tools are everywhere now
ChatGPT, Claude, ElevenLabs, Sora...
All these tools that used to give early adopters a massive advantage… everyone has access to them now
Which means everyone is using them
Which means the barrier to entry has dropped to basically zero
And when the barrier to entry drops...
Competition explodes
If you wait even a few more months, building a channel from scratch will be 7x harder than it is today
I'm not exaggerating
I've been doing this since 2016
I've watched the landscape shift multiple times
And what I'm seeing right now is unlike anything I've seen before
The speed at which things are changing is insane
But here's the good news...
If you start now, you're still early
You can ride the AI wave instead of getting crushed by it
And if you don’t believe me…
2026 is the year of action
Don't get left behind…
