As you all know I started my Locals channel to let some of you join me on this alternative platform as YouTube seemed to be messing with my channel. I noticed this when seemingly overnight my views started slowing.

It seems it's happening again, going lower still. As you can see in the picture I've included, people offered my video are watching at an increased rate (impressions click through rate), but they're being viewed less (lower views). It says similar amount of views because it's comparing it to my last 10 videos that also had a slow start to views. This simply means my videos aren't being offered to as large a group of people as in the past on the home page or watch next. Oh and just FYI, the shorter duration rate is based on length of video, it usually ends up averaging 50% of the video length.

This isn't to complain, the fact that I'm still viewed by anyone is always a pleasant surprise haha. I wanted to thank all of you supporters for making up where the YouTube algorithm (and the videos that are sometimes demonetized for seemingly no reason) let's me down as now Locals and you make up the majority of my income to the point that if YouTube yeeted me off their platform, I'd be able to continue my work.

Thanks again gang, you guys rock!
