In which we discover the audience really matters

I ran a poll asking my followers which content to produce for Dave’s Continuous Delivery YouTube channel. I found it interesting, but I guess not all that surprising, that the results depend upon who you ask.

This is Twitter (no I will NOT call it by its new name, actually I want to call it what my youngest does, which is “Baby bird Twitter”):

This is Mastodon, with a similar pattern and a similar number of responses

And this is LinkedIn

I mean, I guess I’m not super-surprised that LinkedIn readers are more interested in career-advice-type topics, but I found it interesting all the same.

I also find it interesting that “Advice for Juniors” didn’t do better, but I guess many of my followers are not junior devs, and are more interested in content relevant to themselves rather than considering what might be useful to others.

Despite all this, I might actually do the “Buzzword Compliant” one anyway! I’ve already given this as a presentation, and it might be fun as a 7 min tongue-in-cheek video.
