Ten Overdone Types of YouTube Video
And I was thinking about doing #9... ;)
1. “I Woke Up at 5 A.M. for 30 Days and It Changed My Life”
Somehow the thumbnail always includes a sunrise, a journal, and a cup of coffee held with both hands.
2. “I Tried the World’s Most Expensive…”
Burger. Hotel room. Toothbrush. Bottle of water. At some point, the price is doing all the work.
3. “Watch Me Declutter My Entire House”
Usually filmed by someone who owns twelve beige storage bins and already has a suspiciously clean home.
4. “I Let AI Control My Life for 24 Hours”
AI suggests oatmeal and a walk. Creator reacts as if they were ordered to join the circus.
5. “Top Ten Side Hustles You Can Start Today”
The first side hustle is often making videos about side hustles.
6. “We Bought the Cheapest House in Town and Fixed It Up”
Episode one: optimism. Episode six: mold. Episode twelve: divorce-adjacent tension over backsplash tile.
7. “Reacting to My Old Photos”
Person discovers they once had a haircut and wore clothes from the decade they lived in.
8. “I Ate Only One Food for a Week”
Bananas. Fast food. Gas-station snacks. The conclusion is always that variety is good.
9. “Things Nobody Tells You About Getting Older”
Usually includes back pain, waking up early, and becoming emotionally invested in a good parking spot.
10. “My Honest Morning Routine”
Not pictured: hitting snooze, checking email in bed, and wandering into the kitchen without knowing why.
