I learned about LessWrong through a google search about half a year ago or so. One of EY's posts came up as a result, and that day I read through one of the sequences. I was slowly hooked from there. It was recently that I made an account and started posting.

I'm not sure if the community is doing enough to bring in new users to LessWrong. I don't think I have enough data about or experience with LW to make an accurate assessment.

I do, however, run a Youtube channel where I discuss rationality, cog sci, and such. While I don't actively promote LW through my videos, I do bring a lot of the core ideas to my (extremely limited) audience and try to give credit where it is due. For example, I just did a video that discussed the Parable of Sound. While it wasn't my intention when making the channel, can I see how it can indirectly get people into LW.

I don't know if this is germane, but you can find my channel at <www.youtube.com/ParagonProtege>. If you think what I am doing could be helpful, I'd love to get some feedback on how my channel and content could be improved. It's very new, so constructive criticism is needed.
