Creating something that someone would watch related to the forum would probably be difficult. Going along the route of OgNasty's suggestion would probably yield the most return. It could be a toned down version of MrBeast, where there are weekly/monthly events which take place, which a winner can win x amount of Bitcoin. This would probably encourage new users to the forum, albeit they might be a little low quality.

I'm not sure highlighting posts, even good posts is something that people not on the forum would watch, and I'm not even sure if the users here would watch it after the novelty of it dissipates. The best route would be following the status quo to some extent, that has proven to be successful, but applying that to the forum, which I'm finding it hard to actually find something that would work.

If we take a look at Youtube, what's the most popular formats?

- MrBeast style over the top videos, throwing ludicrous money around.
- Podcasts; Potentially having different guests on from various different backgrounds on the forum could potentially be successful if the right candidates are selected. However, I believe anonymous nature of the forum would probably be a barrier to this idea.
- Highlighting substantial posts; this is a route you could probably take, however I'm not convinced in the long term the appeal will be there to retain an audience.
- Bitcoin courses; if it could be tied in some way to the idea of Bitcoin courses mentioned here by theymos. That would be interesting, and might just kill two birds with one stone.

I'd love to see some overwhelming positive content.  How about a MrBeast like channel?
Although, it would be pretty neat to have a Bitcoin MrBeast type channel, I feel the kind of investment that would be needed at first, wouldn't be easily covered, and I doubt forum funds would be used for it. Pretty cool idea though, and would definitely be an interesting approach.
