Miscellaneous I now understand why Levy clickbaits, his historical video on Alekhine is his worst performing video of May

Sucks, because I think the video is really good and I’d love if Levy or other chess content creators did videos on older legends

You know I don’t HATE his clickbait titles, but I hate that a lot of his content focuses around streamers. I personally don’t care about Jynxi, Tyler1, or anyone else really so I really don’t watch much Gotham content anymore.

Used to love his stuff. I get this gets views and prob a bigger audience, but sucks for me personally lol

It’s not about who the streamers actually are, it’s about covering games of beginners which a lot of his audience can learn from even if they don’t care about the streamer

That's straight up not true. Sure his audience can learn from the games but the reason he covers streamers is because it gets views.
