Why it works

• Fear-and-fix topic: all 13 long videos address burglary or intruders for seniors living alone
• Same sheriff persona in every thumbnail with similar bold captions, so the channel reads as one series
• About 3 uploads a week, 13 long videos of 17–22 min since Oct 13
• Opening hooks use a dollar loss and a named victim, then promise cheap fixes under $10 or $50
• Top video had 336 views against 8 to 90 for most others, so the topic mix is still being tested
