    YouTube's nub search AI prevents the best advertisements of the game from being discovered so we have few players even though the game has existed for more than a decade.

    It's search strategy is different and viewers of content decides which content gets promoted,

    for example the videos created by me are getting very poor response from already existing viewers and subscribers

    people don't watch a full video so YouTube think its not worth showing to others

    my average view time is very low

    if someone starts watching it they just go to next video ignoring my content

    also people never put a like in my videos because I don't think they value 0AD game streams

    even 0AD players have mentioned my videos are noob and some op players have bullied me and told me I shouldn't play 0AD and should stop talking about it.

    so without people supporting its hard to promote in youtube

    if people don't watch, youtube will not promote. it is as simple as that.

    and also charm of presenter in videos is a big factor getting it promoted that is why I try to get more experienced players to talk in 0AD streams

    but most do it for one or two days and stop coming back to talk may be it's because of me I don't know.

    valihrant Alistair findlay Tom 0AD 0AD newbierush  are the most viewed channels but they didn't get much support I think
    @mysticjim stopped 0AD videos and he is not responding to any queries,  

    also valihrant seems not interested anymore

    I see Tom 0AD in lobby when he is free but seems like he is not doing much videos because of his busy life.

    Alistair findlay last video was a live stream and no new videos

    without peoples support youtubers cannot reach anywhere

     @MarcusAureliu#s has started a new channel and I think his channel can make an impact probably

    but it's all comes to the youtube viewers 

     

    age of empires get much attention because there are a lot of age of empires youtubers and also 

    companies like red bull conduct tournaments with big cash prizes

    and company behind age of empires itself promote it in youtube

    also I think 0AD should have a steam page at least even though we don't want to distribute the game in steam

    we will need more gamers

    also 0AD should make more official videos to promote the game.

    @Yekaterina we should not call them idiots when it comes to choice of games or Operating Systems,

    If a lot of people find value in one OS or games, I believe that inherently it has some value,

    For example most software companies will only trust Linux more than windows in their servers because Linux is superior to windows when it comes to managing servers.

     Big tech companies are investing in Linux and they are kind of premium members of Linux foundation and linux is getting big money due to this companies.

    but desktop linux is divided into different distros

    and each distro is nothing more than a glorified repo to host OS and application and one different way to install linux.

    I felt like the leading Desktop Environment like gnome is kind of a copy cat of MacOS.

    also for general users using even a windows machine is hard

    I believe a lot of people use windows because the people sell them their machine don't know much about Linux.

    When I bought a laptop from a local shop they know how to install windows inside but when I asked them to do a dual boot and install linux in it.

    they kind of talked like superstitious people and said that is impossible to dual boot that laptop

    so I came home and installed fedora myself but I had to get help from online resources on how to do it and in the process I was able to learn some thing about the machine I am using.

    what I am asking is what choice does a non technical person have if the sellers won't support linux.

    It's plain simple like Linus torvalds said they have to do it themselves. 

    most people are interested in using this sophisticated machine to do daily tasks and don't want to get in trouble by tweaking it or changing it

    because if they do something wrong all that the machine is going to show is a black screen.

    but I won't call them idiots just because they cannot change OS in their system.

    I own a motorcycle I don't change oil in it or change ABS liquid or try to tweak then engine.
    I take it to the mechanic and I will never try to do that myself because it's a life and death problem

    and I am not a mechanic

    Even if I can learn it I don't want to because I am not interested in it, I just want to ride my motorcycle from point A to point B.

    if people don't accept Linux then no need to tell them about it.

    without marketing people won't learn about product

    I think we have to face the reality that not all people are technical.

    and technical knowledge varies from person to person

    not every 0AD player is a doing development of 0AD only a few people developing the game and I think they don't get much time to play the game at all.
    I also want to talk about AOE and 0AD comparison 
    but I am ending this post because It seems like I wrote too much in one post may be readers will loose interest if I put everything in one post.
    I will continue If you want to hear about it and if you agree what I write makes some sense.

    @Yekaterina 
    I am a software Engineer who want to work and get the crap done and play 0AD, I am the lazy guy.
    I am talking about people you think who are the good guys in your example those

    who want to optimize and deliver best quality product 

    they all use windows because company want them to use it and that's it,

    all they care about is the work they do 

    they never get out of that box and don't want to,

    when I told them using Linux is good way to support free software they laugh and I am the idiot because using linux is pain for those don't know it,

    they only care about their productivity as does the company

    they don't care about free software and they will care only if the company cares.

    and speaking about games is sin if you SE
    they avoid it at all cost because games have side effects

    I am doing work game youtube
    may be I should stop working lol

    I wouldn't take YouTube seriously because it is under the notorious Google.

    one positive thing I have to say about google is that the applications they build is outright reliable.
    If I stream a video it will be streamed without any probs if I don't create a problem.

    free and open source is nice but people are only interested in stuff made by some Big companies

    and without people supporting nobody is going to reach anywhere.

    Based on my real life experience people hate free open source applications, they always talk BS to me if I try to talk about it to them.
    I am talking about software "engineers". probably can't say they are engineers because they are web-devs and they probably don't realize  most of the software's they are using to build are free and OS.

    At most what the platform can do to him is Shadow ban the video.

    whatever I put in youtube it's going to void, nobody is going to see this videos, shadow ban or whatever I don't care 3 years and 95 subscribers, feels like a legend in memes lol

    Would there be a way to number units as they are built? Having units numbered is very important to controlling them, I usually number some archers 1, cavalry 2, infantry 3, and so on. It would be nice if I could auto queue a barracks to produce a type of unit and add them to a numbered group as they are trained, so when I need them I can just hit their number, hit call to arms (i made that hotkey c) and click where I need them.

    control groups are one way, not sure how to add automatically new units to control groups 
    Top players use lot of secrets I don't know them

    although if the ally just situationally needed some resources to make a few supplementary units or kick start another production centre, he ought to share his floating resources for that.

    I do agree with what you said Helicity, pocket player is supposed to boom and come with powerful army everything is sensible but I am saying chrstgtr don't share when he can, I do understand the reason behind it he thinks that I am worthless even with recourses. If you agree with him on that point I have nothing to say.

    let's move on and stop with the insults

    I was not insulting, I was discussing and stating my thoughts and I know it may not be correct but my only intention is to discuss may be make it more easy to play when you are in team.
