warning for other small creators. i saw everyone blowing up off evade clips, nextbot chases, funny faces, clutch team saves, and i thought yeah thats my ticket in. i went all in, made like nine videos, grinded genuinely good clips, close calls, a full squad wipe that i solo revived back. every single one flopped. under 100 views, some under 30. and i could not figure out why because the clips were actually good. then it clicked. the wave was already gone. the algorithm had moved on months before i even started filming, all those big evade videos i was chasing were OLD. i was making content for an audience that already left the building. thats the brutal part of trend chasing when youre small, by the time a trend is obvious enough for you to notice it, youre already late, the early people ate and dipped. now i try to catch stuff on the way up not on the way down. still love evade as a game, ill keep playing it, i just wont build a channel on a corpse. lesson paid for in flopped uploads
this is the whole lesson right here. you cant chase a trend after it peaks, you catch the wave AT the top or you dont bother. 8 months late is 8 months dead. timing is the entire game with this stuff.
