Well, no idea if you are serious in this answer....

"to sell" is a way of saying.  Take it as "attract more people to use
it" if you like

Sure, if you had prior knowledge, you knew where to look at.  I don't
remember I went to that screenshot page.  Why?  Because I knew FLTK is
just an *API*, so I thought the screenshots are just some pictures
showing the same GUI in different platform -- that's something I had
already seen in other "tutorial web pages".  So the idea of spending
time to the screenshots didn't pass through my mind at all.

I had found some old mails about FLTK -- it's not the first time
people had told you, much like I did, that your stuffs are not clear.

Same reason as above: I had already seen some other tutorials and knew
what I had to expect from FLTK -- so I was not interested at all to
look at another "video tutorial", no matter how "sexy" it was :D

Frankly, if you want to show the power of FLUID, at least change the title from
"FLTK Video Tutorials 1.0" to something like
"Vidoe tutorial showing FLUID in action"
This would be a lot more attractive, guys!

Yes, yes, yes....

Once more, it's not a matter of "hardness", but a matter of
"knowledge".  If you don't see this difference, don't be disappointed
that your user base is getting smaller and smaller.
