Live video is all the rage, and has been for some time. And it's hard to argue when anyone can see the "view count" of any video. It's impressive when videos have millions of views. And it's likely telling when a video has been up for three years yet only has 17 views. Ew. Only, that's not the whole truth. It's the three-second truth. When you dig deeper, you see that most of the views are for just a few seconds. Doesn't matter. A view is a view, so it's counted. Some 3/4ths of all videos "watched" on Facebook are watched with the sound off. WITH THE SOUND OFF. You know that that means? That means ZERO engagement. Contrast that with podcasting, where the engagement numbers show that, on average, people listen to most -- like 85% -- of the podcast episodes they download. Time to double down on podcasting, right? Check this episode out for more details and thoughts that might make you rethink your commitment to video.Mentioned in this episode:Support For Abortion RightsWhile Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th. Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions. Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few. You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit donations4abortion.com.
