It is hard to make an argument against YT having the highest reach among vloging platforms. However, repeated guests not gaining as many Twitter followers as they did after first visit might be an indication of diminishing returns
The best part of youtube is that one could search through and get excerpts of the video. I could easily find JRs tidbits without the need of going through the entire interview. I still see some of the older excerpts in youtube, but less so in spotify.
The Economist has daily 45 minutes, Conan O'Brien is on audio only etc..
And he might actually have a broader audience than before, does it matter that much that guests 'new follower' metrics are down?
I think there's a broader context to consider here.
I don't blaming him for taking the money from Spotify. He has ensured his descendants' wealth for probably a few generations. Good for him. I still see clips of him on YouTube. How does that work given his deal with Spotify, anyone know?
I thought this at first, but now think the opposite is true. His viewpoints were more diluted previously. A smaller base is of regular listeners paradoxically makes his messages stronger.
Inasmuch as his message doesn't offend Spotify, their key strategic partners, or their financial service providers -- sure, I'll buy that.
I won't get an account with a company just to hear what you have to say. If you require that, as far as I'm concerned your influence just waned a little. I'm steadfast and unflinching in this, it is a firm rule I have.
