We don’t manage the Youtube videos, they are managed by Distrokid. I am thinking about uploading our own videos today, but that might be bad for algorithm-reasons.
I will see whether I can add lyrics via Distrokid today. I think they support adding lyrics, but I am not sure how they will show up on Youtube.
So these songs have now all gotten at least 1k views within 9 days. That seems like a great performance, right? I wonder where all the traffic came from. Besides this LW post, presumably the recent ACX link also helped a ton. But I do also wonder which fraction of the traffic came organically via the Youtube algorithm itself.
Yeah, it’s pretty decent. I don’t know whether there is organic adoption, though one piece of evidence is that we are still getting a good number of listens a day (70% of the peak), though my guess is that’s more evidence that people are continuing to listen and have added it to their favorites than that we are getting organic recommendations on the music platforms.
And we’re live!

Request: Could you please put the lyrics on Youtube also, either in the form of subtitles or just in the vid descriptions?

Ooooh also maybe link to the original text from which the lyrics came? That would probably help a lot especially e.g. for Prime Factorization

This is great, until Spotify is ready this will be the best way to share on social media.
May I suggest adding lyrics, either in the description or as closed captions or both?
