Re: Bitcointalk Youtube channel - what would you like to see?
A lot of youtubers have expressed their opinion about this where some legit channels were kicked off the platform without breaking any rules. Youtube is centralised and they only want content that identifies with their rules and values if Crypocurrency is one of those that does not I can see them removing all videos related to crypo. They could justify it to by saying that cryptocurrencies are unsafe and point towards altcoins being most scams.
I think that would start a very dangerous precedent : If they did that, why stop there? First of all, why would they ban something that has such a complex system - tamper-proof - behind it? Is it because it is unregulated? I've got lots of other content that YT could straight out ban from their platform - mostly related with so called "gurus" that prey upon people's hope of getting rich quick and end up robbing them of their investments (just an example). We could also talk about fake news being spread, alt-right channels spreading conspiracy theories, deepfake videos pretending to be someone else speech (I think we could go on and on about this). If they do take this course of action towards anything honestly, our so called "free speech" would be in peril - I could be against everything that I've mentioned previously but I also have to be aware that people have the right to speak their points of views and discuss what they want to discuss - It's up to the viewer to listen/see that information and make critically and analytical evaluations (and here it's where most people end up failing I believe).
Good points and agree! I think most of the popular crypto content out there gravitates around price talk and maybe some projects being advertised, while at the opposite side you have technical/educational videos, and if given the opportunity I'd spend my time watching the later.
However, I think there's a lack of content regarding the culture, the history and here BitcoinTalk deserves the spotlight! Adding some entertainment along the way of course.
The charity idea is also something I'd really look forward to.
I think that's where we'll find our audience - we'll set ourselfs apart from the "spotlight" of channels that try to deceive users into "cryto scams" and we'll slowly and carefully start enticing users to learn about crypto right from the beginning and with the correct guidance I'm sure we'll be able to light up a spark within each viewer so that he/she can freely start to search for the meaning of everything (besides BTC going UP and BTC going down and "stonks").However, I think there's a lack of content regarding the culture, the history and here BitcoinTalk deserves the spotlight!

The teaser and artwork should be ready this month, so the links and behind the scenes and teasers will go live before the first video. Get some momentum going.
PM sent! This is what the community aspect is about, looking forward to hearing you music and hopefully we'd be able to add it in /me raises hand for custom theme music in the future!
I wonder, could we have a teaser of the teaser? Perhaps just a still frame of some early video that you have, or something like that? I'm sure that most of us are dying to get a feel of the style / art direction that the YT channel will take - and I'm sure that a single frame will be enough to feed our expectations until September PM sent!

Yeah, that's definitely a risk. What about having some alternatives as well, some opininions regarding https://d.tube and others would be nice.
Regarding this I can only come out with an open source social network that has been gaining attention for a while now - Mastodon (Similar to Twitter basically).
