+title: TILvids Update - January 2021
+---
+
+Welcome to January and 2021, TILvids community! Here we all are, despite one of the most memorable years of many of our lives. Certainly it was a challenging year for many, but it was also the year that TILvids was born, so I can find a positive there! Let's take a look back at how things went during December, 2020, before we move on to the new year:
+
+- We were very pleased to announce that the [Pine64 Community](https://www.pine64.org) reached out to see if they could make [TILvids.com](https://tilvids.com) their official PeerTube instance, to which I emphatically approved. I've been a long-time supporter of what the Pine64 group is doing, and would enjoy nothing more than to have TILvids be part of their continued success. You can check out [the Pine64 Community channel on TILvids here](https://tilvids.com/video-channels/pine64).
+
+- We were joined by a new creator, [Illustrate to Educate](https://tilvids.com/accounts/illustrate_to_educate/video-channels) who is sharing some really great edutainment content about politics, technology, etc. Check them out if you haven't already! And if you're an edutainment creator looking to move to a more open video platform, don't hesitate to send a message to me!
+
+- Speaking of creators, I wanted to highlight some of our most active video contributors! [GeoTech](https://tilvids.com/accounts/geotechdigital), [PizzaLovingNerd](https://tilvids.com/accounts/pizzalovingnerdtilvids), and [Tyler's Tech](https://tilvids.com/accounts/tylerstech) always have some great Linux and open-source perspectives. [Vex0r](https://tilvids.com/accounts/vex0r) always brings it strong with fun retro-tech videos. [Athena Productions](https://tilvids.com/accounts/athenaproductions) has some fantastic mythology episodes, and [Always Asking](https://tilvids.com/accounts/alwaysasking) has some great videos pondering the big mysteries of life. And finally, [The Attic Dwellers](https://tilvids.com/accounts/theatticdwellers) always delivers on the 80s nostalgia. Thanks to everyone for sharing your wonderful stories!
+
+- In-between running the site, promoting videos, looking for new creators, and everything else, I was able to squeeze out a video of my own! I'm a huge advocate of open-source/open-web and data privacy, so I decided to make a list of the open projects that are having the biggest influence on my life at the moment. Check out my [Top Data Privacy Tech for 2021](https://tilvids.com/videos/watch/7428f76f-7e03-449a-bc96-a07d7cf82d74) video!
+
+- I had a request to track some of the site stats. As of January 1st, 2021, we currently have 48,426 video views, 394 users, and 115GB of local videos.
+
+For January, I'm continuing to focus on a few things:
+
+- Trying to get the community to start helping out with promoting TILvids. As you're all aware, TILvids [completely runs on donations](https://www.patreon.com/tilvids) and all of that money goes to running/growing the server. As such, with there being no marketing budget, all marketing is done at a grass-roots level. The biggest thing you can do is find a video you love on TILvids once a week, and share it out on social media. Reddit is a great place (because so many videos on the site work in different subs), but Mastodon, Twitter, and other places are great as well. This is where a huge chunk of my time is spent, and anything I can offload here will give me more time, and help our community grow more quickly!
+
+- Making content. I love [making videos](https://tilvids.com/accounts/smartyflix/video-channels), but have very little spare time for it. I do have one video already in the hopper, focused on the importance of infrastructure investment. I have about 25 other video topics ready, I just need to find some time to work on them!
+
+- Continuing to advocate for the open-web. I've been finding and sharing articles that talk about how unhealthy YouTube is for online video. I think it's incredibly important for our community to talk about these things, because they will help guide how we grow our own community, and become a voice that helps others learn about why this is important.
+
+I think that's it for now! As I said before, this was a challenging year for everyone, so I wish all the best to you and your circle of friends/family. A new year is a chance for a fresh start, and I hope that this year is full of potential and new opportunities for everyone. One of the reasons I picked edutainment as the main focus for TILvids is because I believe learning is the most valuable tool we as humans have at our disposal. It's how we grow and advance, and it's how we learn to understand each other. I think the content we have in this community is a great example of that, and I always look forward every day to seeing what new content people are sharing!
+
+Thanks for helping me build a great community here, let's keep it going!
