There’s a secret side of YouTube, just beyond the guiding hand of the algorithm – and it’s nothing like what you know. The vast majority of YouTube’s estimated 14.8 billion videos have almost never been seen. Until now.
I wonder how many of those videos were actually a human watching vs a machine calling the api, and how long did they watch for?

This article made me rethink my decisions about abandoning my tiny channel. I was thinking about it all wrong. I wanted to make money. I loved making videos, but got discouraged when I couldn’t make any money. I need to get back to it and do what I love doing.

I just wanted to encourage you to upload your videos to PeerTube.

I definitely will do that. Thank you for the reminder.
