Sometime during last night our YouTube channel secured its 200,000th subscriber:
It has taken just four months for the channel to double its subscriber numbers.
It is also notable that the number of views is growing fast. The figure for the last four weeks is about twenty per cent of the figure for the last twelve months. A little bit of that is because YouTube has changed the way it counts views of short videos, but although we put these out, they rarely feature heavily in our viewing totals. There is heavy growth going on there.
What also pleases me is that, whilst for a while the growth of the channel appeared to be heavily dependent on the appeal of my videos on Trump, which have created a decidedly international appeal for what we do, we are now securing consistent and strong traffic for other material as well. The more time I have to devote to video preparation, the stronger that appeal appears to be.
We are now considering whether to add a researcher to the team for that reason. There are discussions going on. It's a bit of a risk, but it might be worth it.
Thanks for watching, if you do. I appreciate it.

Careful Richard. If you get too popular those US equity vultures will start circling around you.
We get a lot of mails seeking to place adverts on the site.
I delete them all.
Well Done.
With your increasing profile, I trust you have taken reliable professional advice on yor personal cybersecurity, and that of your family and close colleagues. You are or soon will be a target, given your profile on Trump, Israel and Starmer’s version of neoliberalism.
Email, cloud storage, and websites are easy targets, both for hacks, phishing and ddos attacks.
I’ve been a target from my digital privacy campaigning days, and I still take a lot of precautions.

Great news and that more people are finding/being directed to your postings. I’m sure most will stay – you deal in the harsh realities we must address, speak truth and offer practical ways to change things where you can. Obviously you have to deal with moderating, but we subscribers get interesting and informed commentary from other subscribers too. Thank you again.
Great! I’m not surprised, and thank you.
Congratulations
Long may your Retirement be anything but
