I noticed that this YouTube user 'mrrustedsoul' has uploaded the video to his profile and it has had 323,439 views since November 2011.
That's a pretty good reach for a video of such importance and looking at some of the comments, you find the usual YouTube rubbish. However, there are a few users such as 'agentgates' and 'vluggejaapie1000' who are trying to keep the signal ratio up by posting well informed comments. Wonder if they are part of the forum or SOTT.
What do de-tached and Spiral Out think of that kind of reach? Has it helped in ways you hoped it would?
Our video has been uploaded by various youtube channels as well as translated into Spanish. The original video is uploaded on my wordpress blog (anyone can download it from there), which also receives many views. We estimated that the total views are currently around 1.5 million with all combined uploads.
I check the web periodically to see where the video is posted and what people talk about it on forums and such. For the most part people really like the video. There are some interesting discussions with people who "get it" but there is also much noise with people projecting all kinds of nonsense into this topic or distorting what has been actually said/shown in the video.
Our intent is just to put this kind of information out there and spread some seeds. Some may blossom, some not. Based on the feedback I get on facebook, people also buy some of the books we mention at the end of the video, mostly Laura's books. People also contact me and ask questions. I usually refer them to the resource list so they can look into it themselves.
We also do public screenings at the book store where de-tached works. We recently screened "Love, Reality, and the Time of Transition" which was a great event. Over 50 people showed up and we had an interesting Q&A session afterward. We also put out some books on the table. Since it's a "spiritual" bookstore, de-tached was able to get in Laura's book. We sold copies of TSHOTHW and HS at the event. People also bought ISOTM. ;)
In two weeks we'll have a screening of the UFO video at the store. Should be interesting. We hope to make people think, sell more books, have some insightful conversations and productive networking.
