I have not been able to discover if interviews on UI come up in searches. Circumventing YouTube bans would require the search engines to be set up in a way that they pickup up content from Substack. ( I do not think they are). Topics may be discussed with intensity, but if they aren't part of the archive that search engines use they aren't found by the inquiring searcher. Search engines in general fail to pull up much but MSM on front pages. This is probably a topic for a different discussion but maybe someone who understands the platform integration and searches might respond. I remember when alternative newspapers had distribution stands next to the for pay newspapers but no other distribution means (not indexed in databases)--so the contents might have made an impact the day they were available, but rarely long-term.

My example:

I've been looking at what gets cited in Wikipedia about book history. Cited articles are those that are indexed in for-profit databases. Some excellent book history studies exist in unindexed author society newsletters, but these don't get cited in Wikipedia, so eventually they aren't part of "the history."

Same for Flint.
