To put my videos onto this forum I have to download to youtube. Then my post is viewed apparently world wide. Even though I’m not particularly pleased with my effort It is surprising how I get a lot of favourable comments from someone in the world. Often Brazil. For “Short’nin Bread” I was surprised I got “ I love it”, “Wonderful”, ‘Great job. Haven’t heard it since my childhood” So it’s a great feeling to know that someone, somewhere, listen sometimes and likes it enough to comment.
Do any on this forum get that response , not from the forum but from youtube?

Yes, I used to often get comments from around the world, when I used to post on YT - ukulele, (tin) whistle, keyless flute, kalimba (thumb piano), harmonica - I eventually made mine 'private', as I was only doing it for the forums I was on.

(But, I only play for myself nowadays, no recordings.)

YouTube gets a huge amount of traffic and they steer people to videos that match their interests. There are others, like Vimeo. My main YouTube channel has over 200 videos. I have recently decided that is enough and will not add more videos permanently.

Audio sites like Soundcloud are my preferred choice, especially since I'm no longer keeping music online indefinitely. Soundcloud has limits on free accounts which was a problem for me at one time. Now, since I'm just sharing here and then deleting in a month, Soundcloud is perfect.

Not from the forum: Sometimes.

What upsets me, is, that the recordings I deem to be my best, usually receive the least views and hardly any comment.

Et qui suaviter canere non potest, sibi tamen aliquid canit.
And he, who cannot sing sweetly, sings nevertheless something for himself.
(Boethius)

Same here. I think a lot of beginners use YouTube to learn. They gravitate toward the simpler tunes that they feel they can duplicate. When we throw in nice harmonies or rhythms it goes unnoticed.

I agree. I have over 500 videos on youtube. Some have no comments and some like Camptown Races have several comments. The video that has the most views and comments is one of me showing how to skin a squirrel!!!
