Most creators think small YouTube channels don’t matter. But the data tells a different story. One of the live podcasts I produced pulled 93.8% of its watch time from non‑subscribers — meaning almost all the reach came from new people discovering the content. That’s the power of livestreaming: your audience isn’t limited to who already follows you. And here’s the part most creators get wrong: Everyone is optimizing for mobile… but computers still dominate at 56.8% of watch time, and TV is quietly growing at 9.5%. Mobile only accounts for one‑third of consumption in this niche. If you’re designing your livestreams or podcasts mobile‑first, you might be optimizing for the wrong screen. Small channels still carry weight. Discovery still happens. And long‑form content still wins — especially when you treat YouTube as part of your operating system, not just a place to upload videos. Creators who understand device behavior will win the next wave of attention. @Karin Crawford you may find these TV stats fascinating for Blooming Voices @Des Dreckett are your members experiencing the same results over on YouTube for Skool
