If we take a look at Youtube, and 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.

- A show like DramaAlert on Youtube, but focused on the Bitcoin industry. Probably, wouldn't work out as well due to the nature of Youtube infulencers compared to the people involved in Bitcoin.

- Debates; as long as they are kept civilized, and moderated to some degree i.e not censoring the guests, but guiding them to specific topics I think it could work out pretty well, and could be combined with the podcast/interview ideas.

- Documentaries; This doesn't even particularly need to be shot physically, but could be a voiceover with a lot of editing, which is a pretty popular format on Youtube for things that aren't related to Bitcoin.

~~- Conspiracies related to Bitcoin; if you want to go down that rabbit hole that is, and have the mind for it.~~

Other ideas not particularly popular on Youtube:

- 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.

- Liaising with Bitcoin developers, and getting them to do a developer diary could be of interest.

I can do all that (in the long run) as our Youtube channel has just started out. But we (I) would need to hire some video editing staff first.

- Highlighting substantial posts here on the forum, however I'm not convinced in the long run the appeal will be there to retain an audience for this type of content.

We did that on our site, but with a few exceptions like xtralev's Faketoshi compilation thread, nobody paid attention to them.

I don't particularly like doing a MrBeast-like video related to bitcoin because this'll make bitcoin giveaways look legitimate and will indirectly cause gullible people to fall for other scam giveaways on the assumption they are real. Probably the reason why MrBeast's videos haven't caused a mass rise in fake dollar giveaways is that it's much harder to pull it off with credit cards and PayPal since you can just issue a chargeback and/or ban the receipent's account.
