i wonder if also some of this educational content could be actually funded, i mean i remember watching math demonstration on youtube it was quite useful, no reason for people producing this kind of material to get funded
In most cases it will not be necessary to fund the educational movies, but sometimes it makes perfect sense. For example, a film about biology or nature might be filmed, which requires traveling to other countries, renting a flight or diving.
I don't really think it will work with educational content or documentaries. Such movies are usually created to spread awareness about some problem or to attract attention. There are special funds and agencies for this, sometimes even governmental.
I think that would be a good add to their video library, The more diversity the better. But I do not see it as determinant.
iI also think so the educational movies would be a nice extra to enrich the offer but are not essential, i think the various countries subsidize the creation of these documentaries to show the beauty of nature in their land or to highlight some problems...
It seems to me a good idea to fund educational films as well. I believe they are essential to human knowledge, and used better for schools.
Indeed, they are less sought after, but they are still looking for those with good content.
And some documentaries help people see the world, even if they do not have the posibility to travel, or some for their new holiday travel plans.
