Saw there's a poll for "How often do you use Owncast?" In my mind, it's like asking, "How often do you use a concrete mixer?" Most people here would say "Never". But the people who need to build stuff really need a concrete mixer. If you compared a concrete mixer's popularity to an iPhone or a laptop, you'd say concrete mixers are a failure and nobody uses them. When, clearly, people use them every day to do important work.
That's how I feel when people try to gauge the "popularity" of Owncast.
