I just released my seventh video across as many months (I know, what a blazing pace) and I’m curious how I should try to promote content? I feel weird trying to post it bunches and bunches of places, but I do like what I’ve made and hope people find out about them independently of the algorithm. Most of my videos have seemingly pretty good engagement, and good comments/likes to view ratios, so how do I get out…well, a few hundred views a video and a couple dozen subs?

Hi all! I’m a big chess player, and I’m relatively competent (~2200 Blitz and 2350 Bullet) but I want to expand my opening repertoire. I literally grinded my way up to this point by playing unironically tens of thousands of games with King’s Fianchetto and that’s kind of it, but I have a gnarly eye for tactics and I want to start playing new openings. I’ve recently adopted the Ruy Lopez as white and that’s been a blast, but I never know how to respond to anything as black so I default to castling, developing my pieces, and fianchettoing my bishops. Recommendations would be sweet!

Any idea on how to better react when somebody Subs? I’m super small and have only ever have like 4 people sub and everytime I feel like I don’t impress upon them how flattered I am and how much I want to jump out of my screen and kiss them. Thoughts?
