For some reason I find the analytics on youtube fascinating.
I don’t have a busy youtube channel, I upload stuff in bursts with weeks or months in between new content. Unsurprisingly I don’t have a ton of traffic either, I don’t have edgy, shocking clickbait videos. I have railroad stuff, and time-lapse stuff and the obligatory cat video.

Solar powered cat time lapse, full video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGTGxFtlRcw for instance has been looked at 3000+ times since I posted it in 2008.
United States 46%
United Kingdom 7.4%
Canada 5.5%
France 3.9%
Germany 3.8%
Netherlands 3.0%
Italy 2.7%
Brazil 2.6%
Australia 1.9%
I remember ages ago when I used to track where traffic came from on my website http://www.illiop.org. The breakdown doesn’t look much different today other than Brazil being in there. My viewers are much more diverse though gender wise today, 59% male, 41% female. It’s that way for all ages* other than 13-17 age range, where it’s 9% male, 91% female.
What also surprised me was the mobile viewership.
Windows 38%
iOS 23%
Macintosh 20%
Android 14%
Other 0.6%
Linux 0.8%
I had expected Android to be higher, but this is hardly a scientific set of numbers, it may simply be that Android users don’t find my videos of as much interest.
Anyway, probably a boring post to many, but I figured I’d share anyway.

i have noticed a lot of political bloggers their voices out of sync with their movements and expressions,
and i suspect something on youtube causing this, possibly unintentionally,
possibly their image stabilization software, i've never used.
youtube is youtube, but its a place to share my animations,
even if almost no one ever looks at them.
i have a vimeo too, but i've only ever posted one thing to it, if that, and i don't remember what it was.
but with the ad blockers or whatever it is i have installed, i'm not sure what or which,
i can't seem to watch anything on vimeo without logging in,
which is basically why i haven't bothered with it.
i know there are other animation and video sharing sites besides these two,
but i don't remember which they are, or watching any of them.
well i haven't done anything to shout, hay look at me over here, so i'm not surprised nothing i've posted on there has had more then 25 views,
or in other words, enough for a metric of them to really tell me anything.
