We find treated our toolkits—and, in some cases, those also attending sessions—were significantly more likely (i) feature their videos (ii) generate video related issues. Moderation analyses further reveal these effects are not limited only followings under 2 users. Importantly, we document large system-level exposure interventions; such featuring received half additional views post-intervention period study’s treatment groups, while group (in general) three views. conclude discussing how simple, cost-effective, interventions like ours be deployed at scale influence
