What to avoid

Music licensing — Copyright Shield flags non-licensed orchestral cues

These rules-of-thumb compound when you ship weekly. YouDark's Weekly Plan generator combines them with your channel's own retention curve, so what wins for you isn't the same as what wins for someone else in the niche.
