I just started a little less than a month ago and I'm going though a lot of old threads here on BHW.

I don't know what information is more reputable and what is just hearsay. Or what is now outdated. There is a lot of information to consume.

What should someone just starting on YouTube know? What threads would you recommend a new YouTuber read?

Expect to wait a while to build up traction, if your content is average. Nothing wrong with that, but the views will come eventually if your niches are searched for. I uploaded a couple of hundred videos then came back a few years later with a better content system. The quality of your content, and how often you produce it, are your top 2 key tasks.
 
Pick your niche wisely, since every niche pays differentely.
It's not easy to switch afterwards while maintaining your viewership.

Or content you can outsource. Most of my most profitable niches bore me but they pay the bills.

The other replies you’ve got pretty much covers it. Niche selection, content quality and velocity. YouTube is quicker than organic SEO (in my experience so far) but it’s still not overnight.

You can really speed things up if you do push some traffic to your channel. Reddit, Quora and parasite SEO can give you a jump start. Just have the content quality to match.

Look at what the big names in your niche are doing. If it looks stupid but it works - it isn’t stupid.

In YouTube, content is king. Always do your best to maintain high level of quality, make your movies worth the watching. Don't be lazy about subtitles, they make your videos more accessible for larger audiences. Titles (clickbate? maybe...) and thumbnail are crucial. If you have many views but very short watch time, you are doing something wrong inside the clip. Good luck mate!

Any tool for making good thumbnails?
 
Someone starting in 2022 should know that now a lot of patience is required in YouTube. Just to get noticed, it can take an year.

Before you quit, try to at least get around 25 - 30 high-quality videos up. After a 6 month period, I can guarantee you one of those videos will have around 10k views (assuming your starting from scratch).
 
Best quality video , best content, attractive title and catchy thumbnail and lots of patience
 
1. Don't go blackhat if you're trying to build a long term channel.
2. Be consistent and don't give up after a few videos perform poorly. If you keep posting consistently, it's more likely one of your videos will be pushed by the youtube algorithm. You just need one video to perform and if your content is good, your channel will take off.
3. Focus on making click worthy thumbnails.
4. Try to market your videos elsewhere, don't entirely depend on youtube algorithm. I've seen people make 100k+ subs channels using FB groups.
 
Is it worth to buy an account with an audience similar to the one you're looking for?
 
He should know that there is lot of competition on YouTube and one needs to make unique content to conquer it.
