Why wasn't Steve Yegge's YouTube channel more popular? There was a fairly long time period where he seemed to be widely read programming blogger, which you might think is a good springboard for doing video, but his median video has something like 2k views.
For people who haven't seen it, the first episode is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8332hz8c2s, and he talks a bit about why he ended up winding down the channel and taking a job in episode 49: https://youtu.be/sKE1S7PK1fY?si=2g2lcrR7Ls0IikVm&t=2977.
