a good reminder that i need to use that more!

This does have the effect of people coming back regularly and ups the views i suppose but i like to use youtube less as a "what's been released this week" and more as a library
Youtube "rewards" creators who upload on a regular basis.
It doesnt need to be every day but it does need to be regular and consistent to register on the algorithm.
yes, a shame as it encourages treadmill content rather than occasional but always good content
