I completely agree with you on this. I am the same; I was brought here to Steemit after watching a YouTube video, @AVILSD's one to be exact, and think that although we as Steemians wish to help the site and the blockchain grow, we are not yet at the stage where we can abandon advertising Steem on other platforms completely. I mean, to be honest I found you on YouTube first, and only then have I began to follow you on here.
Perhaps doing a video here on some day and there on another, mixing it up a bit, is the way to go. I do not know. The best way is to experiment and see what works best for you and for the community here on Steemit. Either way, you have my full on support!
**As a side note, I have spotted a spelling mistake in the sentence 'I see that the team os hard at work ...' I believe the word 'os' should have been 'is'. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck and hope you decide to return to YouTube and work your magic there. 2,000,000 by the end of 2018? I think that can easily be achieved, but a lot of work has to be done, no doubt.
Peace!
