I think about this a lot. Even if a person "only" got 300 views, imagine those 300 people in front of you staring at you. (sh.itjust.works)

imagine those 300 people in front of you staring at you.

Please no. My anxiety could not handle that

    I think directly in front of me in person I've maybe done 150.

    Always hate those because the smaller ones you can have a conversation, but when it's over 50 or so, either no one wants to speak up and comment or question, or like one guy wants to and just generally derails things.

    Because of that last one, event organizers frequently tell the speakers to not take questions and comments live even if they wanted to try... Which results in blathering on pointlessly live to an audience that sits in silence except for generic audience responses like a little applause or laughter or whatever. When I give such a speech I'm just thinking the whole time "this could have just been a video, where they could seek and watch me at 1.5x or whatever they want to do"
