I think we have about 100 users that are on the website. Though it is probably less than that when you account for the Alts and active users. I haven’t been active in a couple months here, so I’m wondering if anyone has noticed a constant trickle of new users recently.


Has there been a correlation between popularity on the YouTube channel and new users coming to this site? I am happy to see an increase of subscribers for the YouTube channel. I think there has been a few thousand added just from last month or so. I occasionally check the YouTube channel for new videos and to see what’s going on there.


Have there been any additional projects for popularizing and advertising the website?

I think we've seen a small increase on the site but just from old DDO and DART members. To my knowledge, no one from the YouTube channel or even Google search.

Very much a time demanding exercise fraught with competition.

Okay, maybe this type of advertising doesn't work. Because given amount of views and subscribers on YouTube, even if only 1 in 10000 came to visit site, we should have had at least dozens of new members.


YouTube could be filled with bots, so maybe we are advertising mosty to bots or those who are payed to view videos.


We definitely need to advertise elsewhere as well. Keep working on YouTube Channel too, it's important once it gets big enough.


But I think for advertising, we need to advertise to people interested in debating, like college students and on other debate sites.


Our mistake was advertising to general population who, couldn't be less interested, it seems.

Video idea: make tutorial on how to sign up to debate craft, how to use forum properly, and how to make a debate, and how to choose topic title.


It may seem silly, but it will advertise debate craft better because debate craft will be more in video. Tutorials are good way to advertise things.

It’s actually pretty easy to make alt accounts. I do it all the time on Discord to troll people.

Hm, is this indicative of most people being stupid and not joining DC for debating, or do us members just have privileged free time to spend on social media?

My free time is indeed a privilege. Young people dont have such privilege because they have school and homework. Adults dont have such privilege because they have jobs. Old people have such privilege due to being retired, but they also have dementia.


I dont have job, school or homework, so I get the privilege of more free time which I use wisely.


I also am still young, so I dont have dementia. In fact, I am starting to look younger and younger.


But not everyone can enjoy like I do. Some people must work so that I dont have to.

What kind of person are you? The longevity training is working out, or you have Benjamin Button’s disease?

No, but I was just lucky enough to have parents willing to provide, and smart enough to take full advantage of that without being wasteful with money.


this is why I dont have to work much. Not many people enter retirement before 30. But not many people have my skills and persistence.

Yes. Spend less, make savings early on, and invest part of savings in physical gold and silver, or land, or things which hold re-sale value, such as things you can buy now and sell later for slightly higher amount.

I'll do that. The post I referred to was one from Dart from a while ago.

Yes, Alt accounts are easy.


And yes, "privileged free time to spend on social media" is just that, but nonetheless limited , and opportunities are great in number.


So one has to take one's pick, relative to ones requirements.

Who would want to be here on DC when you could be talking to one of SatanLucy's 50 ai girlfriends instead?

One does not talk to electrical devices...Unless they stop working and do not respond to a change of fuse, then one needs to be temporarily profane.


Plus, I am neither shy nor afraid to talk with people of the other gender...(There being only two proper genders) Mix and match folk are what they are and I will also happily chat with them about the weather, but I am not interested in either their mental health issues nor their sexual angst.


NB. Notwithstanding developmental anomalies of course.

I am profane with Rocket League teammates sometimes. Then I decide to ragebait and score for the other team bc if u can't beat em, join em.

I am pleased that I have always remained in good standing with females. I have close friendships with women my age at my institution. My earliest memories contain my best friends who happened to be females for some reason. I always got along well with them.

Yeah, and I sometimes I wonder where they are. Is common sense so common?


Sometimes I realize I'm the nonsensible one which hits like a speeding bus these days. But I grow ever better from recognizing my faults 💪
