There are two styles of videos, i.e. regular landscape orientation and any length and vertical orientation of max. 3 minutes (previously 1 min.). The landscape format is more typically used on desktop or tablets while the vertical taller than wide is mostly consumed on phones. All videos were shot in landscape format and to create vertical format, they were simply cropped. Often, the vertical format will receive more views as more users watch them in this mode on their phones.
These were the videos published so far along with their view counts until today:

The more views a video will have the better it can perform by giving it a likely higher score when searching for Antalaha on Google or YouTube for example.
All videos are good and why some get more views than others is hard to predict. The Shorts versions have minimal branding, just Macolline Park mentioned in Ertrice's title. The horizontal versions always have an end frame with Macolline branding.
Both versions carry a link in the description to Macolline Park's entry on https://www.madacamp.com/Macolline_Park
The videos can be republished on your website at Macolline.org and two ways of doing this can be by embedding the versions I have on my channel or by republishing them on your YouTube channel and embedding those versions. I can also give you the original video files.
In all the videos have had over 2,850 views in a fairly short time and counting which can be credited to not only the topics and location and Ertice's excellent presentations.
