Yeah, so we see two gaps. So one gap is within the AWS space, there's just... So for example, we made an Aurora verse RDS video. So I searched up on YouTube. Okay. Aurora verse RDS. Classic question that like everyone has, like what the hell do you need to do? One video that I thought was kind of okay. Like, okay. Uh, everything else was like just nonsense. Yeah.

But there was really just one result for that. So we're like, okay, there just isn't a lot of stuff in this space. Yeah. So, uh, When we make videos like that, and we have infinite ideas there because there's just so much stuff we can do, we don't expect those to go that big because we are focusing on some audience. But to be fair, we have like... It's not like we're starting from zero.

We have a community that like, yeah, we'll drive stuff there. But, you know, most of the views are that from there are coming from like 80 plus percent of the views on those videos are coming from people discovering it from within YouTube. We're not driving them from Twitter or anywhere else.

And then but then I also we make a bunch of those. I'm like rough with the ratio that roughly have is for every four of those I make. Then I'll make one of these other kind of videos, which is trying to come up with stuff that's as broad as possible. So the first video I made was just on Go. I was just like talking about my things around Go. That's what I was thinking of. Yeah.

And that one did like I would say that one did probably two or three times better than our AWS stuff, which makes sense. It's a bigger audience. Yeah. And when I made that video, I was watching it. I was excited for the idea. Then I made it and I was like. man, this isn't that good. And I was kind of not super excited about putting it out.

But then, like I said, it did pretty well compared to what I'm seeing out there. In my head, 50,000 views was like, if you're going to get 50,000 views on a video, you're super legit to the point where you can get sponsored. It's like a big deal. But I feel like we're maybe a year away from that. It doesn't feel unattainable.

Yeah, I think what I've found is... I don't know how to position these videos so that they're, they're stuff that a broad audience would actually try to watch. So the Aurora versus RDS one. So that was my, that was me experimenting with, okay, let me just like hardcore do like a very explicit, this is an AWS video. Obviously like you might even find it from searching about this topic.

Um, but I feel like not that many people, even if the video is good, there's not that many people are even gonna like go watch that. I don't know why. I can see how it doesn't feel appealing. Whereas I can definitely explain some AWS stuff in a much broader way where a lot of people do watch. And the AWS part is almost like a Trojan horse to explain this bigger topic. But yeah, I don't know.

I just think there's not a lot of... It's very common, but I think there's not a lot of interest in people...
I just think there's not a lot of... It's very common, but I think there's not a lot of interest in people...
Yeah. But I also think you're right in that it is a giant population. And I feel like once we crack something like those videos might end up being much bigger. Yeah. Like there's no reason why they shouldn't be 10 times bigger.
