I think your marketing people are giving too much importance to "likes" and=
=20
"views" and losing sight of the main goal: "coverage" and "conversions". Li=
kes=20
and views are of no value unless they come with the goods of people actuall=
y=20
visiting your sites, and then you would not care where those visits were=20
coming from, even if they were from (*gasp!*) PeerTube.

That said, we're fine with this. We will also remove the one video we have=
=20
already uploaded from you to PeerTube.

KDAB will lose that viewership, but marketing knows best, right? ;-) The la=
st=20
thing we want is a conflict with one of our most valued  supporters.

When the time comes, we will create a playlist on our YT account (which is=
=20
what we were going to do anyway) and aggregate your video only on YT throug=
h=20
that.

Our original idea was to be able to give you coverage on YT _AND_ PeerTube,=
=20
adding coverage, not subtracting from it. Since it is highly unlikely that=
=20
YouTube viewers will go out of the way to go to PeerTube to watch your vide=
os =20
we were not expecting this to affect negatively your viewing numbers -- and=
=20
indeed it wouldn't have.

But sure, whatever.

Perfect.
