From my experience running moderately successfull niche youtube dev channel:

1. The most important thing is the actual content you want to share. The essence, the meat. Net new information or at least unique angle that someone would not find anywhere else.

2. The second most important thing is the actual content you want to share. How clear to the viewer who is this content for. And if viewer is the target audience - how relevant the subject for him now? Why would he care at all. What do I loose by skipping the video?

3. The third most important thing is the actual content you want to share. Why do you share it? What is you motivation? Why should I trust you and listen to you?

Oh, yes, it helps if you speak clearly and without fluff.

That's it. Nobody (except other wannabe youtube-gurus) cares what's your tech stack or how much you paid for a mic or video editing. IT people come for content.
