While I agree with you that things here usually happen, when someone else makes the effort to improvise things around here, I feel like regarding this topic, people can't do much. This place will become a portfolio submitting messhole, if people were to work for anything(be it their youtube "career", or teaching skills for udemy etc).

If bitcointalk is to have a youtube channel ever, the admins should at least give out some info on how they want the whole thing to be executed, and also privately start messaging users whom the admins trust, and get things rolling. Otherwise, I am afraid nothing much is going to happen Sad

At least if not a youtube channel, and a udemy course, the new forum should have sub-forums where only certain people are allowed to post/review the content, and those sub forums could have all sorts of courses, and videos. That'd be pretty dope, if you ask me.

A udemy course? That sound strange but potentially interesting of an idea. I'd much rather list stuff where people have to pay via watching an ad as I doubt many people would pay for a udemy course?

I had a thought about doing something with YouTube and the most notable posts voting a while back, I don't know what happened to the list though? I think steamtyme also did well with his videos so we'd have to ensure we didn't conflict.

As someone who's biased towards ltc (and no one else likes ltc) I'm happy to look over content produced to check it for bias (I assume my bullishness on btc won't interfere with that too much either).

Perhaps the reason things aren't being done is potentially down to people not knowing where to look.
We might get away with adding a thread in new forum software on active developments going on surrounding the forum (the potential ecpensipn into YouTube if it's done and how to test the new forum software).

Would anyone be interested in a forum telegram channel and potentially group chat? No idea how I'd ensure not getting a bunch of random reputation flags if I made one but as a spin off project I don't think it sounds an awful idea?

He has no time for this, that's why he posted it as an idea with a question and that's why the community have to gather and point out some candidates for the task. People who are really into what is going on in the forum and want to do it.
One thing I've learned here in the forum, if you want some nice things to happen, you have to work for it, they are not just dropped by theymos as gift, we as a community have to do something to make it happen. We can't just wait and say "Theymos do this, theymos do that". His name maybe sounds like a god's one but he is a human as we are (except for LoyceV, we all know he is an AI) and seems like one really busy human being.
If we don't gather, find people who want to participate and finally present them to him for approval, it won't happen. It is exactly the same situation with EpochTalk. If we want it, we have to test it first and report the bugs, and when all is done, then we will get it.

Now I'm a bit sceptical about Bitcointalk Youtube channel idea. Maybe some guides, like @Steamtyme had made, would be useful. But I doubt that many newbies would be interested in it. Because personally, I never looked for a video how to use online forum.
And things like theymos said "summaries of recent high-quality" posts sound a bit boring. There is lot of things needed to do to make such content attractive. Because you can't get much views with recorded screen and some posts shown in it. It can get just few hundreds views. To make such videos more attractive additional things would be needed like images images or short videos from other resources. So, to make really good content on Bitcointalk Youtube channel, work of professional Youtuber would be needed.

Yes please, can we make this a thing, theymos could choose 4-5 people to manage, edit, and create content on the youtube channel.

Theymos designating people for this should be mandatory for that channel in my opinion. Certain communities (*cough* BCH/BSV) will attempt to create drama around it and they're already uploading video attacks against him so people who won't fan the flames need to be chosen for this.

Drama is bound to happen, no matter who is chosen. Internet is just full of drama, pedophiles and memes and oh, cryptohunter(is he still here idek). SOO, you can't stop the inevitable. I guess what we could do is, have a reality check, and understand the concept of "It iz what it iz".

That's a cool idea--I'm sure this forum has some veteran members who also have extensive experience in everything it would take to pull off a YT channel. I wish I could contribute in some way, but I'm neither interesting nor talented as far as content creation goes. Hopefully Theymos will see this and chime in.

I'm still hoping the Newbie Welcome Message will get implemented at some point but we could include a video link there as well if someone did a video on how to get started here.

Maybe there could be some cash prizes awarded for the best ones created or maybe merit dished out instead.

It will be quite useful for the newbies, most of the existing contents on youtube related bitcointalk are not high quality contents and moreover the voice of the videos were created using text to speech tools so it is important to have high quality proper English videos on youtube to get more engagement to bitcointalk and people who really need crypto related information can find them as well if we have an official bitcointalk channel.

A bitcoin channel would probably do better - but if Theymos wants to fund a bitcointalk channel, more power to him!

There's plenty of bitcoin related content on YouTube already. I think one related to the forum could be helpful, especially to Newbies. Helpful how-to videos much like the guides we already have but in video form. I'm still hoping the Newbie Welcome Message will get implemented at some point but we could include a video link there as well if someone did a video on how to get started here. Maybe there could be some cash prizes awarded for the best ones created or maybe merit dished out instead.

I was lukewarm to the idea when it was first proposed, but I'm glad this thread got bumped. This is one of those ideas that ended up fizzling out for whatever reason, and I do think it would be a neat idea if bitcointalk had a Youtube channel.

There would need to be a filtering mechanism for contributions. You don't want far correct ( sorry I mean far right) people like me creating content for example.

I'm damn sure users here will subscribe to the channel. I searched and browse some channels related to bitcointalk because lots of users upload just about anything like an introduction to bitcointalk.org and how to make copper member and so forth. But these channels are not official.

Would it be a disadvantage to the youtube channel if some bitcointalk users will bring the accusations and discussions there in the youtube comments?

I remember steamtyme did something of the sort(link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54202158), so maybe he can also help contribute towards this?

@theymos any updates on this please?

Yeah that might be cool because we have different intelligences like most of us are visual and only few would like to read that is why most of the users forgetting about reading the forum rules that will be resulted on getting ban. So of video would be presented then those violations that are repeatedly done would be minimize. I have found youtube video that talks about how the forum created and why merit system was implemented but has only few views.

Oh didn't know if such an amazing idea was here for review. If we look it commercially, I think it won't be very successful, theymos since you mentioned that you are ready for funding project, then great, it will earn small to reduce that additional funding. But will that format be interesting? Don't take it as an advertisement but I think cointelegraph is doing that job pretty well, both on their website and on youtube. I think from you that will be a little bit waste of resources? Maybe.... Don't know but generally idea is very positive and great.

Recently the idea occurred to me that it might be cool to have a bitcointalk.org YouTube channel. It could contain things such as:
- Bitcoin information
- Summaries of recent high-quality posts
- Summarized crypto news, but from a neutral perspective, without any pump-and-dump

If there was regular (eg. weekly) content, this might be a good way of attracting good new users and making existing users feel more engaged in the community.

Does this sound like a good idea? Is anyone interested in producing this content? I suppose we'd need at least someone with good camera presence, someone skilled at video editing, and one or more script writers. I might be willing to dedicate some forum funds to this.

Great proposal. This would probably gain more traction, if moved to Serious discussion or Ivory Tower.

I'm pretty sure there are many famous youtubers posting here already (Davinci comes to mind for exemple).
Why not ask some of them to produce videos in the name of the forum every once in a while ?
It would insure quality, probably more than if you hire just one guy.
