@Codemyhobby Competitors: 5 Similar YouTube Channels Compared

the niche here is what i'd call the sub-5K coding-tutorial corner of YouTube — creators who teach web dev, CSS tricks, JS projects, or general programming careers to a mostly-South-Asian-and-African audience that's price-sensitive and looking for free crash courses. it's a brutally competitive pocket because anyone with a screen recorder and a working VS Code install can enter it. what separates the channels that grow from the ones that stall isn't usually production quality — it's niche tightness, language match, and whether the creator picks a content shape (shorts, long tutorials, project walkthroughs) and sticks to it. Codemyhobby's catalog of 272 videos against 4,520 subs gives a rough output-to-sub ratio of about 1 sub per 16 uploads, which honestly isn't bad in this space but suggests room for tighter targeting.

@doumcoding (4,710 subs, 529 videos, India) is probably the most direct shadow of Codemyhobby in this set. similar sub count, similar coding-tutorial pitch, similar "learn web and app dev" framing in the bio — but doum is operating in Hindi and has pushed nearly twice the upload volume to land in roughly the same subscriber neighborhood. that's a worse ratio (about 1 sub per 112 videos), which honestly tells me the Hindi coding-tutorial space is more saturated than the English one Codemyhobby occupies. follow doum if you want to see what the volume-heavy Hindi competitor playbook looks like, or if you're a Hindi speaker — the language overlap with Codemyhobby's content is basically zero.

@EverythingDoWithAI (3,700 subs, 426 videos, India) is the channel i'd actually watch most closely if i ran Codemyhobby. Ajay's positioning — "Smart Work > Hard Work," GATE/B.Tech prep using AI, high-paying skills — is the kind of sharpened hook Codemyhobby's bio is missing. Codemyhobby says "web design and coding plus fun life stuff," which is three things; EverythingDoWithAI says "crack exams and learn skills with AI," which is one thing with two outcomes. the difference shows in the trajectory: similar video count, slightly fewer subs, but the positioning is tighter. worth watching for hook structure, not for content overlap.

@onlyoyelmax (3,340 subs, 154 videos) is the odd one in this set. the bio is essentially a plea — "PLEASE SUBSCRIBE," "MY DREAM 10K" — with no content thesis at all. 154 videos to 3,340 subs is actually a stronger ratio than Codemyhobby's, which is interesting and suggests something is working content-wise even if the bio doesn't sell it. without seeing the actual videos i can't tell if this is a coding channel, a vlog, or shorts farming. for Codemyhobby's purposes this is more of a benchmark than a peer — proof that you can clear 3K subs with under 200 videos if the content hits, regardless of how unpolished the channel page reads.

@youthgamingnihar6942 (2,490 subs, 542 videos, India) is the cautionary tale of the group. 542 videos to land at 2,490 subs is a rough 1-sub-per-218-videos ratio — the worst in this set by a wide margin. it's a Minecraft shorts channel, so the niche is totally different from Codemyhobby, but the structural lesson translates: high-frequency shorts in a saturated category without a distinct angle is one of the slowest paths on the platform. only relevant to Codemyhobby as a reminder that upload volume alone doesn't compound. shouldn't be in the same content recommendation set, but the data is instructive.

@Vjphotoholic1 (5,520 subs, 244 videos, India) is the largest channel here and the only one that's beaten Codemyhobby on the leaderboard despite a near-identical video count (244 vs 272). it's a photography channel, not coding, so there's no content overlap — but the comparable output with a 1K-sub gap suggests photography-as-hobby is converting slightly better than coding-as-hobby at this catalog size. could be coincidence with that small a sample, but it's the kind of thing i'd note if i were Codemyhobby and thinking about whether the "hobby" framing in the channel name is actually helping.

if you watch @Codemyhobby, the realistic also-watch list is @doumcoding for the Hindi-language version of basically the same content angle, and @EverythingDoWithAI if you want sharper hook positioning in roughly the same skill-teaching space. the other three are adjacent rather than overlapping. honestly, the most useful comparison in this set isn't a competitor at all — it's the gap between Codemyhobby's three-things bio and EverythingDoWithAI's one-thing bio. that's where i'd start.
