    Why are we limiting exposure?

    The WF is full of threads of warriors needing more traffic and you're
    asking if you should limit your market share?

    Give the market as many options to enjoy your content as they can handle - there are those who would prefer audio as they are more prone to hearing during walking, shopping, working, etc.

    Others would like video and why not reach that market, especially since your platform is video to begin with.

      I'm thinking that might be confusing for people, or it'll also be harder for people to leave reviews under 1 if there are 2 separate files.
      Can you have 2 different channels? one for audio only, and one for the videos?

      You could always test which is better: put them both up, and see which gets better hits. After a month or two, discontinue the one that's not performing as well.

      Glad you like it. Personally, I'm an audio only kind of gal, largely because I listen to a lot of things during work. I drive a semi, so having a podcast that also has video has 2 problems for me:
      First, anything on the screen is distracting. That's a bad idea
      Second, on my phone, videos require the screen to be on to play the audio. So, I have to make sure my phone is plugged in, and I have to set it somewhere that won't accidentally turn the screen off. That's usually on the panel in front of my steering wheel. That circles back to problem 1.

      I'm probably in the minority, as I'm sure most people love video. I like videos, but only when I'm somewhere I can watch them easily, and usually when I'm at that point, I'm doing something else and forget to watch them.

    I personally think to start with audio is good and later bring new videos and
    let your users enjoy it too...

    I would do both, IMO. You need your presence to be everywhere to build brand awareness. Let your subscribers have the ability to hear and see you.
