I appreciate seeing the link to the debut episode, and surely I am having some difficulties imagining how such a series could be sustainable in video format - because of course there is some good content, yet presenting it in form of video will be interesting to see if sustainable.... and yeah, I am not going to poo poo the effort because I had already noticed that there have been some proposals about how to accomplish such.
Yeah, I kind of would agree that lower production usually isn't expected in the beginning of the channel, at least several years ago. However, to be able to compete nowadays on Youtube specifically you need at least acceptable level, but the higher the quality the better the response. The bar for content on Youtube has been set very high, which is a little mind boggling considering all the low quality stuff on it especially anything with any kind of substance, but high quality production seems to be of a higher priority than the actual substance behind the content.
I'm used to seeing channels go from low quality production, but very good quality then as the money starts to roll in it'll go to higher production, but then sacrificing quality of content since they cater to their audience rather than their original goal.
Although, I have to give props to the effort shown in the early videos, and I'm hoping it absolutely continues, and sees success along with it. Though, I think its natural to worry about whether the high bar initially set is going to hinder the amount of videos being released, and therefore viewer retention. Though, hopefully as time goes on the team behind the Bitcointalkshow will be able to adjust, and find a nice middle ground.
I think that Cyrus is always uptight
Weird, all the interactions I've had with Cyrus, albeit limited I've always got the opposite impression. Although, admittedly I'm not the host of the show who has deadlines to meet, and getting whacked by Cyrus' stick
