For the first time (that I noticed) on the channel, #Mastodon brought a video more views than Twitter. And no, it wasn’t the video about the fediverse, it was the latest #Linux news video.

Both are really small compared to what Google search brings, but still, it’s kinda cool. And my Twitter following is way bigger, so it’s doubly cool.

@thelinuxEXP GoogleSearch? Really?
Are these people who know the channel and shedule already, or new people googling recent topics and youtube suggests your news-videos?
Can you see whether they are followers or not?

@MeinMeister I can’t see that kind of data, but out of external sources for YouTube videos, Google search is 92% for that video (it’s generally around that). They’re search results that returned the video directly :)

@thelinuxEXP Does that maybe include YT search or are they separate sources there?

@casraf No, it’s just Google search, YouTube search isn’t counted as an external views source!

@thelinuxEXP That's interesting! I never use Google for finding YT stuff, so I wonder how that works for them

@casraf It’s probably just people searching for the topic of the video, and looking for any kind of resource, article or video
