Title: Model railway videos and YouTube
Post by: Southerngooner on February 27, 2023, 07:15:40 PM
I've posted a few videos of Brickmakers Lane on YouTube as a way of getting a link to post onto this forum, and it's had a few effects which I find a bit surprising.

The first video has had over 5000 views, the rest over 100 and climbing all the time. The audience, to my surprise, is mainly from Germany (98%), but perhaps unsurprisingly 99% male and over 55. Given that I've only posted links to the videos on this site, a lot of these views must be lucky finds, or do we have a large German contingent on here?

I've also gained 35 subscribers, so YouTube tell me only another 965 before I can possibly monetise things, not that I was looking to do this! How the world has changed. In the not too distant past my models would only be seen by friends, now they can be seen anywhere it seems!

Must take the internet a long time to get from me to you! Probably goes via some strange routes though!
