| Less than 1% of those visitors actually tried our presentation demo (only about 5 did) which was surprising (and disappointing).

I think it's been documented that engagement from reddit/facebook/etc is very low because you're often using a shotgun approach instead of targeting people who would actually become customers. On the other hand, this product would really be in the wheel house of a site frequented by tech entrepreneurs. It's cool to see that you were able to get feedback and act on it.

If I could throw my two cents in, I, and I assume anyone else visiting your site while at work, will always be hesitant to click a play button.

Very true. Just a note that the play button is actually just for the video. The larger green button below it is for the instant demo.
