    While text posts on Youtube are technically a thing that exists, you can’t expect a significant portion of users on the platform to pay attention to those. People go to Youtube to watch videos. That’s what the platform is for, that’s what the audience is there for.

      Stop killing games is larger than being youtube content now. News are reporting about it. How about starting a website where you present this information instead of on a youtube channel? The obvious answer to why not is that he wants the sweet ad revenue that youtube provides at the cost of wasting everyone’s time.

        No one’s time is being wasted. He has 413k subscribers on Youtube because 413k people want to hear what he has to say. You might not, but that’s you - maybe take a step back and realize the rest lf the world does not share your weird grudge against people speaking out loud?

          I’m well aware of the website. Yet, it isn’t able to yield that sweet youtube ad revenue so it will of course not be his preferred outlet.

            It will not yield the 495k views this video got. A lot of people are learning about the movement through seeing a popular channel show up in their Youtube recommendations. This is how outreach works, do it on platforms where you will reach the most people. Don’t just put it on a website where only people who already know about the movement and are invested enough to actively check it will see it.
