I observed the same segmentized silos problem a little while ago. Initial reach is SOOOO much harder when federation doesnβt work.
Reach is there only when some popular tech vblogger appears, like The Linux Experiment on TILvids - and thatβs it. Most people are there for that channel and that channel only (Nickβs done a good job at promoting it, as we see), which must mean the impression other parts leave on a viewer is considerably worse.
Sending a tinsy-winsy appreciation to how you handle this dialog. Smooth. π©
