We talk with architecture professor and YouTube creator Stuart Hicks about how he earns nearly 100 million views with fewer than 160 videos by treating packaging, pacing, and audience framing as part of the craft. We unpack the unhealthy side of analytics, how to use comments without taking them personally, and the simple tests Stuart uses to make niche topics feel irresistible. 
• translating teaching skills into clear educational YouTube videos 
• avoiding lecture habits that hurt retention and watch time 
• using YouTube analytics without confusing data for self-worth 
• reading the comment section for assumed knowledge and tone 
• setting a sustainable upload cadence for high-effort production 
• choosing topics with a cause and effect gap 
• improving click-through rate with better titles and thumbnails 
• running substitution tests to beat niche apathy 
• evolving a distinctive 3D thumbnail style with more control 
• deciding whether to stay part time or go full time as a creator
