What's working for Fireship right now
The channel's typical long-form video gets about 1.3M views. “Every app on Earth is now open source... whether it likes it or not” reached 6.7M, roughly 5.2 times that. Among this channel's outliers, the most common title formats are personal story (1), question (1), expose/reveal (1). When one idea outperforms a channel's baseline this much, the audience is telling you the topic and packaging resonated, which makes it worth studying before you plan your next video.
How these scores work
We take the channel's latest long-form uploads (Shorts excluded), find the median view count, and divide each video's views by it. A 5× score means five times the channel's normal performance. Data comes from the public YouTube Data API and refreshes weekly. Last updated November 5, 2026.
