How Often Should Kevin Hart Post on YouTube?

Colin Rosenblum and Samir Chaudry say Kevin Hart should post one really good YouTube video a month and stop there. The golf video went up on August 27th, and the channel is already around that pace. He also appears in commercials and many other places. Doing the videos too often would make him overstay his welcome and saturate himself. There is some room in golf, and not enough room for a pile of Kevin Hart videos.

The same upload shows why one careful video can carry the month. He stares into the camera, says he is a YouTuber, and opens with a welcome. At 30 seconds he is bringing friends the viewer did not expect. At one minute the challenge is breaking 100, then 90, then 80, so the arc of the channel is clear. At two minutes he and his friends are betting on shots, with money on the line, which gives people a reason to keep watching.
