Like, why wouldn’t people be interested in knowing that the African slave trade of the colonial period actually started with Jewish kids, but they all died in the African climate of Sao Tome, so the Portuguese started buying slaves from the Congolese, which they captured from neighboring tribes, to work the fields??

    The problem really is knowing when people are interested in your special interest and not knowing. And erring on the side of caution that they aren’t interested in usually the best bet. Especially at work.

    Having said that, if you start a YouTube/Twitch channel where you specifically invite viewers to come listen to your special interest, it’s totally on them to stay or go and that’s fair.
