Guava Juices form a 200 million view. Months have declined by over 90 percent, with many of these recent views coming from Shorts. As his long-form content gains roughly 500 000 views a video, What on Earth happened? Let's draw back to his absolute Peak January 2017 249 million views Why was he so successful at this point in time? By then, Guava Juice had already been on YouTube for over 11 years, during which it became apparent that he was incredibly talented at latching onto Trends and had built an intuition for what was popular on YouTube at any one time. For example, in his 2007 music, video parodies were similar to what Smosh had become successful with, and by 2016, he was still competing with other top-tier gaming YouTubers like Vanos Unfortunately, this also meant that Guava hadn't really carved out a specific rule for his channel, which is a necessity for long-term YouTube growth.

Well, arguably you can get reasonable Happy Wheels A contribution. However, explosive growth usually comes from pioneering a brand new or underperforming genre as Guava Juice would come to discover in mid-2006. Well, it's kind of insane to you guys. Um, like to use things that virtual signaling it and like say oh you, that's virtue bro, you're just pretending, whatever and look at some of the Brazil I've watched every single one of these guys videos like that's like dozens on dozens.

Nobody says a singular word I play one after I did one at the end of the video. Well, you had bad takes and it just says oh this is those are boring Oh this is boring All these are just bad. Like what the bro that's like the Mo that is the most virtual Dodge I've ever seen in my life. What the is other guys staying after uploading a video Simply titled Orbeez Bath Challenge Now, there was no denying that this video was targeted toward children.

However, it still had many different elements of relatability leading the video towards success. For example, anybody could access Orbeez Most people have a bathtub in their house, so it therefore posed this question of well, what would be the outcome of this experiment if you did okay. Do they genuinely make Transformer comments until it was pretty insensitive? Definitely right and was very like it I think I think it was very like businessy other too much but I don't I don't This made the video extremely enticing to click on and once watching guava juice then validated The Audience by providing the exact outcome that everybody had clicked on. The video for a bathtub filled to the brim with Orbeez which when combined with a cameo from Spider-Man made for the perfect viral video.

Each of Guava's bathtub uploads followed this similar premise of what would happen if you did this in your own house. There was always an element of curiosity his Oobleck and it pose the question of well, is it going to get stuck when it finally dries at the end of the video? his Lego Bath Challenge Okay, okay, just go back. Okay, um, um. all right.

Okay, all right. I'm Gonna Keep it a buck I'm Gonna Keep it a bucket I I don't think I saw that you want to link it I'll link the thing I Don't mind if we could, we get to break it down if you want pose the questions While his Diet Coke and Mentos bath challenge implied that the coke might Fizz everywhere, each episode was only three or four minutes long. bro. last pause you brought this here.

Is it so Bro? Bro? Bro? This guy bro yeah, this guy is just mauled today I don't know what's wrong with him I guess she's just becoming part about what you're smiling today. so why not click and say the potential outcome? The short nature of the videos also meant that they didn't waste the audience's time and were optimized for watch time percentage. And while this goes against the classic Trope of longer videos equals more watch time equals better performance, this has been disproven by people like David Dobrik who have shown that 10 four minute videos can be better for retention in comparison to one 40 minute video in its full entirety. Regardless, Guava Juice's videos were doing so well that even his water bath challenge cracked 5 million views.

Out of all about challenges I've done I'm surprised I'd ever tried water, leading him to experiment with other types of content in which he'd reveal another simple, yet key success component. He was actually excited to make each video, despite being in his mid-20s of content from making gummy pizzas to building a house out of Red Cups This gave the videos a unique, enjoyable flavor as well was obvious that he was happy to be there, which accompanied his cliche yet ideal philosophy of wanting to improve the content every single day. As long as you consistently make an effort to do better every single day, things will definitely get better every single day. However, Guava's explosion was also assisted by timing, as viral videos required significantly less time and effort back in 2017..

take for example, this video titled Do Not Jump On The Trampoline Ball Pit at 3am in which the time is shown at the start of the video 306 as well as at the end of the video 329 meaning this entire episode took only 23 minutes to film I Feel Basically, no prompts, no script in the hole take Meaning the video took only a couple of hours to complete after editing, and it's now received over 20 million views. To achieve that same kind of performance on any long-form video today requires at least one week's work, as well as maybe a team, maybe a budget, and even then, pulling anything close to that number requires a perfect storm. Back then, however, Guava Juice was doing millions of views on every single video, almost all of which needed minimal planning and could have been completed in under a day. In the process, Guava Juice kept up with every trend from fortnite to tick tock reactions until he'd dip his feet into a brand new video type that would take his channel to a whole new level.

Here's 10 things you shouldn't do Series In the beginning, it wasn't even supposed to be a series. However, after 10 things you shouldn't do in an airplane, gained a view count in the millions, Guava Juice doubled down with 10 things he shouldn't do in the movie theater, 10 things you shouldn't do at school, and 10 things you shouldn't do performing it incredibly well. and it's really no wonder why. the videos were comedic, relatable, and had a bunch of effort put into them.

They usually had multiple people per skit as well as a full set for every video, which made them extra unique. Hello my friend, how may I help you today? hello I'm the food inspector. Uh, could I have one of each food please? Sure thing. Follow me! I Love inspecting food Mr Food inspector You see all the food should be right over there.

What is this now? Stay here for the rest of your life. Dad Daddy is that you. It's me, your son. These videos went absolutely wild throughout 2020, often gaining well over 10 million views.

However, in April 2021, something began to change on the Guava juice. Channel He went from Gaining over a hundred thousand subscribers every single month to almost complete stagnant. Was it more concerned than you bro? I'm watching it first. Okay, first.

I'm watching the video too brother, brother chat is just mauled I Mean we could argue if you wanted, but if you want to do content, would just argue with them and just be no good at all. like. whatever you do about it, what would you do about it? yours was suddenly struggling to achieve more than a million views. Why the sudden drop? the decline Seem to begin with a video by Danny Gonzalez hosted only two weeks prior Title: Guava Juice is Out Of Control In which Danny would critique the absolutely insane nature of every Guava Juice video in a fun and entertaining way.

It's just so hard to follow. It's like, is this even a story? Is there a plot to this? They're just like doing random things and crazy things are happening. He can't really subvert our expectations anymore because our expectation is just that something random is going to happen at all times. The video received over 2 million views in less than a week, and while it acted as somewhat of a compliment since Guava Juice was trying to make insane content, Denny's video would also act as a catalyst for the short-term retirement of the series.

After uploading an episode on the 3rd of April, Guava Juice didn't post a 10 Things You Shouldn't Do episode until almost three months later on the 27th of June after which it became obvious that the quality of the series had dropped off. Overdue says 10 Things You Shouldn't Do at Disneyland it felt like it had been thrown together with no prior planning. There was no set, there were no characters, and the jokes felt random, but in a way that was more like what the hell even is this anymore Don't Fear The Birds During the retirement of the series, increasingly lazy content such as Guava Juice rank Guava Juice videos, as well as old repackaged compilations such as Best of Guava Juice, both of which subtly implying that the Glory Days of the channel were coming to an end. As was also indicated by the thumbnails during his Peak, the thumbnails felt clean, straightforward, and were on par with YouTube's Meta at the time.

and while some of his 2021 thumbnails were definitely on The Cutting Edge, there were others that felt crowded, dated, or just straight up confusing. The channel seemed to have been struggling from a lack of effort and Innovation however, there was actually a good reason in December 2012, not having YouTube oh, what does that mean 21 Guava Juice announced that he'd instead been spending his time on a Kids TV series called the Guam's very first episode on YouTube Originals. While it displayed his confidence in the show by purchasing a billboard at LAX and it was looking like this series could reignite the channel, although only in the beginning. the first five episodes performed reasonably well, averaging around 3 million views each other.

The sixth episode gained only 150 000 views with almost every episode afterwards. following a similar Trend, His team would produce a total of 13 episodes for the show, after which he'd uploaded a new video titled the End in which is unusual way they probably had it somewhere playing in the back. uh, either through an ad or an embedded or or someone a website something because that doesn't make any sense. We upset, possibly as a partial result of the show's poor performance.

I've been doing guava juice for so long it's uh, I've missed my daughter's birthdays and Friends weddings and um, what health is this guy have no balance to who I am as a person. Um, Guava juice. Didn't specify why he was feeling so down. However, he wasn't ready to give up just yet as he then released a second season of the show which once again performed to a mediocre standard at a couple hundred thousand years per episode.

While they might as well have just continued making standard videos and this wasn't even the worst part. Whilst producing the show's 26 episodes, Guava Juice lost touch with the one skill that had always guaranteed success an ability to keep up with Trends and the current YouTube meta Prior to making this world would you show he was averaging maybe 700 000 views on his normal YouTube channels for like 11 years, but after the second season came to an end only seven months later, it was rare to see any of his videos achieve more than 200 000 views. It seemed that Guava Juice had fallen into the misconception that if he split his time between YouTube and a TV show, it achieved of success yet the opposite. Yeah, I don't I like the movie I like the format of like oh, this guy fell off right? because when you do something for that long it doesn't matter.

At the point nobody gives a I mean you've caught you, You made the impact. It is what it is. It's been Annie's performance. Well, it doesn't matter anymore.

everything's relevant. On top of splitting his time between two different forms of media, Guava Juice also had to worry about YouTube shorts his in-store products as well as a bloody Nft because you have the mega one of the dumbest things you can launch as a Creator because it's so obvious that you're just trying to siphon some quick cash from the audience while producer's new low was established in a recent video titled my Future in which he speaks as though his career is pretty much over I Just want to say from the bottom of my heart I am very honored to be a part of your childhood. His former excitement has transformed into boredom and complete apathy as was highlighted during one of the video's announcements with like I said last time again I will prove my own point right. Being canceled is something that is a self-inflicted You see this guy, his video is doing good and it'll keep doing good he's saying bro, this is this is Sony V2 the end of sun If you do falling off, but why will enough fall off because he's probably gonna keep posting and he probably Gonna Keep Angling Nothing happened and you know what? That's probably what the viewers are gonna do the same thing.

Yeah, that's how the world goes around. Anything else you say is irrelevant because it's just wrong. Sorry bro I I don't even like him that much I don't know any videos that much I just love you I just watched them um I Just want to let you know for this channel moving forward. I'm going back to my old roots which is Gaming 2016 I Made the channel because I wanted to create a gaming channel.

Well, guava Juice gives off the vibe that he wants the videos to return to their former glory. It also seems like he's lacking the motivation and Clear Vision to get them there and as a result, he's trying almost anything including sympathy from the audience to achieve an increase in viewership. However, this has only had the opposite effect as most of his gaming videos struggle to achieve a hundred thousand views while producers made it way too obvious that he doesn't have an interest in producing the content and this lack of commitment shows in each and every upload, the videos just feel a bit generic and aimless. A great YouTube video should be fresh and energizing.

Something that makes you want to click just like the bathtub videos did during the channels. you're not chat I Think this is wrong. I am going to do a massive big disagree. A video should be whatever you want a video to be if his energy is into doing this that isn't doing good.

If I want to upload myself just like I'm watching a dog blank screen. so be it. It's why these things don't have any rules. Do you think they'll have any format? You do whatever the you want Dude, if that is what he wants to do at that point, that's his Direction So idiot who is anybody to come around on the side and say oh, this isn't doing good deal For the argument, no, nobody gives a I Like what? The fudge.

Yes, a great YouTube video should be fresh and energizing, Something that makes you want to click just like the bathtub videos did during the Channel's Heyday And while it's clear that guava juice is slowly rebuilding tuition only, you care about that. I'll do that. they don't if you care about what the you want I don't know I don't know why you're caring about his money. Yeah, to return his skills back to a competitive level.

Is it because of money? but because he's using the camera in this guy which is so weird? Okay, already watching anyway. And if we've learned anything from Hollywood in recent years, it's that adding over the top LGBT characters for the sake of relatability rarely works as intended and is often nothing more than a distraction from the premise of the movie or video on top. Okay, well, okay. listen.

I I don't like this. Okay, because then you're gonna get mad. but I just feel like it even though I I don't think this is that. That's is that his take would in Racine Already watching anyway.

and if we've learned anything from Hollywood in recent years, it's that. adding over the top LGBT characters for the sake of relatability rarely works as intended and is often nothing more than a distraction from the premise of them. Okay, it only becomes wrong and bad. If you can prove the opposite movie or video on top of this, it can be.

If you can prove the opposite, then you're right. Otherwise, well, I mean I mean uh. well. Another thing is right or wrong.

I'm just saying it if you need. If you're going to formula an argument like that, well, you have to back it up. Like what the be uncomfortable and unrelatable for the silent majority I'm confused A situation like Chris's does have the potential to create an otherworldly amount of discussion, which could be seen as a benefit for the Mr Beast brand. Drama is good for growth 100.

That would be an easy way. The problem is, this type of situation is probably the last thing that Mr Beast wants to attract as he's forced to agree with Chris's position as he has no way of manipulating the situation. Okay, silent. the majority of the dog whistle.

What is a silent majority? I know what that means and without being painted as the bad guy. it's a lose-lose situation for Mr Beast I Think Jimmy is in an inescapable situation if he kicks out Chris canceled if he don't his channel will die for. Real, an inescapable situation is a pretty good way of describing the drama, which is also why it deserves the harsh label of being a nightmare. Jimmy has no option but to publicly Express acceptance Yeah, this was bad.

I I Said it was bad for a lot of reasons. A lot of things. and I think a lot of the narratives are pretty bad, right? Um I I Generally also feel like it. Um, people are making ridiculous conclusions and opinions about this because listen I I don't like sayings like I say like I said listen I'll even call you out.

then it's blind transfer. Okay so Wilson a Kanye's music awesome and you jam that hard and you go hard with it right all the time. When he said that massively inside. so many things that affect a lot of people right in the most craziest ways out there that he said he's and you gen the out oh my God I think that it's an it's a little bit of uh uh it's not what a baptism I think I think it just I think it was to just paint outrage.

it's just kind of how it is like I don't know what the but I I don't get it I think it's the exact same thing. if they're just being, you're just I mean unless like I said unless you unless you can form it. oh yes, music does have anti-semitic lyric. Jackass.

Okay and the video we just watched the this newest video had anything interesting, transphobic or LGBT related in it. oh it doesn't So this is guava juice. They don't have anything interesting or uh ads related in it. uh no it doesn't So I don't know what? the guava juice? A guy who's in your audience that that they don't have any sort of conversation that are related.
