I'm struggling to see any mention of that, from anyone other than yourself.
The section I quoted originally in your post here - you give two options:
If those locations aren't proving popular, then they need to do something about attracting passengers from them (such as allowing local journeys or looking at the ticketing arrangements), or omit them completely. In both directions.
It has already been discussed at length that the purpose of this service is to take to people to Whitby and Scarborough southbound, and for those same people to travel back home northbound. It has already been discussed at length that this is why standard X9/X10 day tickets, multi-use operator tickets and concessionary tickets are not valid for travel, so anything else is a "Brucie Bonus" given it's not being actively promoted for all the aforementioned reasons regarding social distancing.
That means that the only option you've left with them with is to 'omit them completely. In both directions' - after two days. Seems very drastic to me.
