C'mon YouTube - 0.6%? Really? Let women see my videos too! The only way these algorithms are going to learn is if we kick the box every now and then.... and this is one of those times! Kick! Thanks for watching, and please be nice in the comments. ☺

Well Im a Geek chick too!
people no longer enter college to study things that INTEREST them; they study things which will make money for them. many people are skipping college altogether as working for other people becomes less profitable. and schooling becomes more expensive. i'll wager that when you begin to get more women watching, they will not be american women…
Hi Fran! I'm a lady who followed you back when you were running a very different business. I admired your work in that field and (especially as someone with scoliosis) I hoped to be a customer of yours someday, but I stuck around even after that part of your life ended because I found science and tech content fascinating due to having grown up at the largest radio telescope in the world. (At the time, at least. RIP)
I'll admit, I haven't watched your videos recently because the situation with the Observatory where I grew up and how most YouTubers reported on it left me cold, so I unsubbed from many science and tech channels I used to enjoy and thus don't see videos of your genre on my page most of the time. Also, I have developed a bit of an inferiority complex when it comes to science… I always felt too stupid to be a scientist, and while I briefly flirted with science by studying archaeology with a focus on remote sensing (I got to drive a radar car once!), I've ended up working as a freelance copy editor while trying to finish some personal writing projects. Not going to mince words, it sucks and I'm poor as shit. But I've always enjoyed the videos of yours I've watched, and now that I know YouTube has been actively hiding your channel from me, I'm going to seek them out more often.
All the best, Fran. Thanks for sharing your world with the rest of us.
Maybe it's an age-thing Fran? My channel has 100% male viewers too. But most of my viewers are aged 65+, and women engineers are much rarer in that age group, than they are in the modern generation. Incidentally, I'm female and your videos are being recommended to me, and I do watch them 🙂 xx
i agree with you!
Your channel was always great and your videos are too
Your channel was always great and your videos are too
Woman watcher who found your channel through my husband. Watch and subscribe through my own account. Love your content.
I'm a lady! I watch all your videos! I guess I am the .6%! I am going to share out your videos on social media to all my friends who are in tech and science.
As a male Technology/Pre-Engineering/CS/anything else nerdy teacher, I have seen the real world effect of this. Our middle school stem program has about 50% girls…in my high school classes I see 33% at the very highest…and usally less than 10%. I talk to the girls heading off to engineering/science who I never see in class; and they tell me that they only decided to enter those fields as a senior. I still don't know how to fix this; but I'm trying.
