Back then I always watched minecraft videos from well-known YouTubers… And I was just wondering, can you still be successful with such content? I know that the hype was over for a long time.
Of course you can and the hype isn't gone.
The best Minecraft player "Technoblade" brought Minecraft so much to the hype with the SMP episodes that the purchases kept increasing. Dream (the second best Minecraft player) has created its SMP where many well-known YouTubers shoot videos and get tons of clicks. Minecraft has been in the hype for a long time thanks to Technoblade and with good videos you can also get a lot of subscriptions ^^
