YouTube's algorithm drew this to my attention yesterday evening:
Our YouTube channel has hit one million views since it began. However, as the pattern makes clear, the latest burst of activity is on a vastly bigger scale than was managed in 2020/21.
In addition, the trend is upward, with traffic on many days now reaching the levels on this blog or even exceeding them. Given that TikTok generates more traffic than YouTube, this seems to be working.

Well done to you plus the technical advisor and style consultant !
We can hope for a ripple effect as people talk to each other. Like Labour backbenchers when the novelty has worn off and they want to make some sort of mark.
That’s the aim
Right now we have more than 100 videos to make on our ‘to do’ list
@Richard –
Amazing what a black shirt and/or navy blue shirt can do. LOL! LOL! You stylist deserves a free cup of coffee or free glass of wine!
Please do NOT rush it! Quality is MORE important than quantity. Do not lose sight that your audience sees QUALITY as your trade mark.
Also, being a Yank Lost in Space, I did not understand this statement: “Given that TikTok generates more traffic than YouTube, this seems to be working.” Are you implying you get more traffic on TikTok?
Disclaimer: I do NOT do Instagram or TikTok.
There is much mnore traffic on TikTok
And we are pushing quality more now – rejecting more recordings as a result and doing second and more takes
Thank you for the splendid news, Richard. Congratulations.

Thanks
And I have given them the right to reproduce any material they like
Thank you, Richard.
I have a couple of concerns with respect to NC. Specifically, its pro-Russian coverage of Ukraine. Furthermore in the case of articles on Ukraine, the below the line comments have to be seen to be believed, Putin is treated as some sort of “legitimate” head of state. I visit NC mainly to see how mad it is.
The NHS article was one of the more OK ones, and raised legitimate concerns. That said, some of the articles, & specifically by the likes of Yves Smith are designed to give support to the Russian government, the one that bombs childrens hospitals – whilst glossing over this reality & ditto the other reality that Pulter invaded Ukraine. I do not regard NC, for the most part, as a source of sane criticism of anything – & I am not known for being a shrinking violet with respect to robust criticism of assorted status quos. You have been warned ref NC.
I accept your concerns
But some is good….
The videos have been a great addition. I appreciate the time and effort that’s gone into them and the format works well.
Thanks
I’ll second that. Excellent medium for sharing too.
So very pleased all your hard work and effort and that of your team has paid off with these results. And thank you for taking up cudgels on behalf of many.
