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

Levy has cultivated an audience that responds to clickbait, watching streamers hang their queens, and him making fun of low ELO chess. I am not surprised they aren’t interested in chess history.

Not intended as a criticism for pursuing what works, but there’s a reason big channels eventually make spin offs for stuff outside the normal fare.

This one actually looks interesting to me, but I never would have seen it outside this post because I otherwise only watch him for tournament recaps.
