Re: It make sense that why theymos was talking about the YouTube channel
Aside from the sways in market and hype, and their influence on the number of visitor, I often wonder how the SEM/SEO is being treated. One of the areas of potential growth (hopefully a healthy one) is the local boards. There are some local boards that have way more potential, just comparing the number of posts to the population.
Sure, there are many other factors that play their role (regulations, IP block, per capita income, etc.), but it does seem that at some point, perhaps SEM/SEO might be adjusted/boosted to give Bitcointalk more visibility in certain areas.
I really like your idea of local councils. I believe that if you combine local councils and YouTube channels in your native language, you may increase the number of people interested in this forum. However, this will attract new users, which is not recommended by the new rules.

I agree with the opinion that ICO companies advertise through YouTube and a lot of such bounty hunters.
I think the traffic on the forum has decreased due to the drop in bitcoin price. I also spent the earlier analogy, why queries in Google fell because the graph of Google trend shows a decline in the popularity of people.
