With all due respect to OG, guys listen to me. If earnings come first, don't do what OG wrote.
Reasons:
1) On very short videos (1min) like his are very low earnings, he even stated that the RPM is $ 1.3 which is the minimum. (Currently, I have YT channels that have above 15$ RPM. (32+$ CPM)
2) Such videos belong to the YouTube plot hole algorithm because they are very short and depend a lot on the trend or individual topic. It's shaky and tomorrow you may not have 95% of the viewers you had due to a lack of loyalty.
3) CTR is a crucial thing but not KING. Youtube Algorithm from 2015 onwards set a priority for AUDIENCE RETENTION (AVD) and only then for CTR (due to many clickbaits before 2015. This means that if you do not have AVD vide, your channel will not survive. The longer the video lasts, the harder have a higher AVD. (The higher the AVD the higher the RPM due to more ads)
4) Build the loyalty and story of your channel, and connect your audience into one community. Higher Loyalty = higher AVPV (average views per viewer). AVPV is very important for the algorithm, remember that, few people talk about it.

Good luck to everyone in a game called YouTube and remember, you will never outsmart the algorithm.
