A good collaboration is the fastest borrowed audience on YouTube: one video that reaches two (or more) creators’ subscribers at once. And finding them is easy once you start looking for them where creators in your niche already gather: YouTube search and comments, subreddits like r/NewTubers, active Discord servers, Facebook creator groups, and creator networks like AIR. Pitch one specific, mutual idea by email or DM, then publish through YouTube's built-in Collaboration feature, which now lets up to 10 creators share a single video or Short across every partner's audience.

In most cases, you can restore a deleted YouTube channel – if you move inside the recovery window. A channel you deleted yourself is often recoverable for about 30 days through your Google account. A channel YouTube terminated can be appealed, and since last October, some terminated creators can apply for a brand-new channel through YouTube’s Second Chances pilot. The one hard limit is a fully deleted Google account past its 20–30 day window, which is usually gone for good. Timing decides almost everything, so act today.

There is no single best time to post on YouTube, and our data shows why the stock answer, “post Tuesday at 2 PM,” is close to useless. Across 31,852 videos, the gap between the best and worst day of the week is only 21% once you pool the whole platform. Your niche is where the real difference lives.
