Hehe, YouTube tells me that I'd hit ‘thumbs up’ on that video once upon a time. Probably put it on a playlist, too. However, that link is now obsolete — behold the more official version:

N.B. apart from being more official by virtue of being on the channel of John Broomhall himself, which has accumulated a breathtaking 52 subscribers so far (correction: 53 as of now), the audio quality is also better.



The popularity of some artists on social networking platforms is pretty interesting at times. There are people like Yoshitoshi ABe who have contributed to some reasonably famous works in the past (like serial experiments lain) and yet their livestreams have at most 30 people watching at any given moment. With that many people you can literally interact with the person themselves and they will have time to respond to everyone.

It indicates to me how they approach their work, in an era of content creators wanting higher subscriber counts. But at the same time they're probably well enough off from previous successes, so maybe the necessity for self-promotion isn't there.
