How to Monetize Your Haters (The Dhruv Rathee Strategy)

Have you ever been so angry at a YouTube video that you had to comment—only to hit “Subscribers Only”?
Welcome to the Rage Gate.
In this video, we break down one of the most powerful and controversial growth tactics on YouTube today—how creators convert haters into subscribers using psychology, algorithm mechanics, and emotional manipulation.
Using a recent viral political controversy as a case study, we explain how:
Rage bait content drives massive watch time
Polarization fuels the YouTube algorithm
“Subscribers-only comments” act like a toll booth for free speech
Viewers unknowingly fall into sunk cost fallacy & completion bias
Hate comments can inflate subscriber counts but damage long-term monetization
We also analyze the trade-off between explosive growth and declining CPMs, the risk of outrage fatigue, and why viral rage doesn’t always convert into real business value.
Is this strategy genius or dangerous?
Is it ethical—or just smart exploitation of the system?
And most importantly… have you ever subscribed just to argue?
Watch till the end to understand how modern YouTube growth really works—and how you might already be playing the game without realizing it.
