You've probably heard it from other channels, but changes made to the YouTube algorithm since about April 15 have strangled our ability to reach our audience and to grow

It would appear that though the click-through rate for our content is relative unchanged, that the opportunity to click in the first place has diminished rather rapidly

At its worst, our viewership declined by greater than 90% nearly overnight (we've had day with fewer than 100 views and even days with zero, since this has started)

In addition, X (the platform we most used to promote our content) has limited non-paying accounts to about 50 posts per day, with stricter limits on how much one can post per half-hour (we learned, since making this video that the situation was worse than described)

PS: Most of our content (as we do LIVE shows) can be found under the LIVE tab of our channel

How You Can Help:
1. Subscribe AND click on the notification bell and select 'ALL' to receive a prompt that we have new content up
2. As X will become less of a go-to for us, subscribe to our BlueSky feed at https://bsky.app/profile/trueeager.bsky.social
3. Share! Share! Share the content, on any platform you are on (including a word as to why the content resonates with you or a comment on the content, helps immensely)
4. If other channels you enjoy have been less present in your feed, please go to them and complete step 1

We have no idea why this is happening on YouTube (on X, we know it is to force us to pay for the privilege of posting, which we will not do as providing content is enough), but until it is fixed any help from you that we can get to ensure our content meets eyeballs is crucial and appreciated

Thank you,
Your Eager Beaver
