Part 2/7:
One of the biggest traps in YouTube automation is the "shiny object syndrome," where creators feel compelled to copy the strategies of larger channels. While it's important to model successful tactics, directly copying video formats, titles, or ideas from established channels can hinder your growth. YouTube prioritizes original content over duplicates, so instead of mimicking competitors, focus on carving out a unique niche. Research your target audience, understand their needs, and then put your own spin on successful content patterns.
