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?
Can't say better than you. @theymos, you simply rejected many ideas how to improve forum and solve existing problems without stating any reasons why it's not a good idea and now you're just planning to create new project?
You can give some of forum money to creator of video, but why you can't hire full-time dev to work on new forum software for example or appoint more mods?
Maybe it's not bad idea to start Bitcointalk Youtube channel (well, it sounds strange - Youtube channel of forum), but not right now. Starting a new projects when we have so many problems sounds stupid. I think things like Youtube channel, reporter badges and other possible fancy additions to Bitcointalk are not really neccessary right now. All these problems like spamming, copy pasting, ann bumping, recovery of hacked accounts should be solved first of all.
