Don't bother starting a youtube channel or anything would bring more population to bitcointalk,so long as things are bad here.

Can i just say: "I completely agree"? Cheesy

I like the idea of a high quality Youtube channel made by Bitcointalk as a community, but I don't think it should be a priority at this point. I'm much more in favour of improving the forum before starting other activities. I've even adjusted my Personal Text for it.

If you're really interested with video content for the community, why not host it yourself with the forum ( a subdomain for example or a video board here)

Youtube is more or less "the standard" by now. It easily takes care of everything, at the cost of bothering users with full screen unskippable commercials.

Given the number of threads in Meta over the last few days/weeks/months complaining about the state of the forum, the ridiculous levels of bounty spam, asking for more mods and suggesting about 100 other ideas for improvement, would it not be wise to focus on the forum first before taking on a new project?

This can't be emphasized enough!

Maybe Theymos wants to keep the forum more libertarian and wild west anarchic than what a lot of people calling for, quite authoritarian action at times..

This forum gives users freedom to say what they want, even if someone's opinion isn't popular or even repulsive. And I barely see any complaints about that.
Spam on the other hand should just not be tolerated, especially if the spammers earn good money from destroying this forum. It's an industry now: I'm pretty sure the homograph bump bots for example are controlled by only one person/team. On some days, they create about 500+ posts, on other days there's nothing. That has nothing to do with freedom, it's spam for financial gain.
