I think it would be great to have a polished training series with all the info you need to get the best of Hive. I remember when I started out I found it very difficult to find how to videos.
I am not sure if these things are now available from other Youtubers but if they are could they be added to the channel?

The only issue with a polished training series is spending money on something that might be outdated/obsolete within months.
I agree with a weekly news broadcast of sorts and in that could be an included short teaching segment.
This is something that I've found challenging for sure in our space. I've been doing a live Q&A information show every week for the better part of 4 years now, both on Steem and then on Hive. I'm incredibly proud of the show itself, the teaching I've done, and the impact I've had even though it doesn't get the attention of a lot of people around the chain- but if you go thru the historical replays, man, most of them become obsolete pretty quickly, which is why I never uploaded them to chain video services after the fact. I would need to hire a full time editor to really try to slice and dice many of them, and unfortunately I can't afford that in time or costs at the moment. It's a tricky thing, for sure.
The first thing I mentioned while sprinkling a few scattered thoughts around this area was cost. Then efficiency. Maintaining interest requires entertainment value of some kind mixed in with the hard facts, especially when a portion of the targeted audience is intended for an outside audience. There's the scripted approach, then there's the live podcast style approach. Gotta decide. Get a team together, do all the work; then the part about:
... which is a huge problem for I'd say majority of the projects around here, so that would need to be addressed for this instance. I rambled on about that issue inside this rabbit hole, throughout the post and comments. A proper news style broadcast with a proper budget would benefit from simple push button access, highly visible in the common area UI most frequent, so this takes an army all on the same page.
On the bright side there's enough capable people around to pull off some stunning material consistently.
Ay-ay-ay they want brainstorming and my head explodes.
Oh! And there's the part about how shining examples double as marketing. Pick a good episode, put some money behind it, convert it into an advertisement, have that shit spreading all over Youtube. Even if they ban crypto ads there's a loophole by simply not mentioning crypto since we're more than just crypto anyway. More bang for the buck there.
I have to admit that I have never fully watched your shows, but from what I have seen in the bits I did watch, you're doing a really great job!
Now the question is, whether those 2-3 hour long shows are the right format to 1.) attract people who are not yet familiar with Hive and want to know more about it or 2.) those who are familiar with it but want to stay up-2-date.
I don't think that's a problem. We can use the DHF to cover your & the editor's costs. The question would be whether we have 1 or more editors with enough experience for high-quality work on Hive?
Hi Crimsonclad, I have fallen upon some of you Videos here and there and love your style. Are you posting to Youtube and if so What is your channel?
I have said in another comment that maybe some sort of WIKI may be needed where Short form video tutorials could be swapped out when needed. As for the videos, I think short infographic style with a narration could work.
holy cow, I somehow completely overlooked this comment and I apologize profusely for leaving it hanging. Yes, I do stream my shows to Youtube at this link. I haven't actually shared that on the chain before but my goals for the new year are to do a bit more personal promotion as part of actually helping the hive ecosystem as a whole.
Yoooooo...just watched your talk at hivefest. best one so far, I had no idea how much excitement NFT showroom was generating. Chipping into the ETH ecosystem is great for us, and artists and their audiences are what I want to see more of, and no reason for anyone to choose between Hive and ETH, they can do both. You would make a great PR voice for the greater HIVE, you are really good at getting the good points across @crimsonclad . My buddy @vincentnijman 's been excited about his NFTs recently, I'll go check out the platform on my New year holiday :-D
where can I find this talk @whatamidoing ? You piqued my curiosity and I am - of course - looking forward to your entry into NFT :<)
Thank you! Unfortunately I had to wing my presentation, but I actually do often do weekly talks about Hive on my livestream (depending on where the day's topic's take us) and am often the one who ends up handling our volunteer community AMAs.
Let me know what you think about NFTSR and thank you for the compliment. I'm very passionate about our ecosystem and how it can be used by anyone who's already in or out of crypto to power the things they want to share <3 If you have feedback about the site, I'd be glad to hear it, as I'm always working on improving the UI~
Thanks for that nad don't worry about delay. I've subscribed and hope to listen in during my workday. I Have not heard your Hivefest speech yet but hope to track that down also.

ENGAGEtokens.If the HIVE fund will continue maybe this could be a good investment for it. I always feel a bit sad that I have to leave Hive to get the information I need. What I would really like is a section on the homepage with a direct link to all the tutorials needed.
I get what you are saying about things becoming outdated but maybe if they were in the form of a WIKI then they can be swapped out for new ones when needed.
Tutorials in written form that can be updated easily would be the most cost effective method of delivering that material. Weekly updates in video format pointing people to new developments like updated tutorials would be a fine way of pointing folks in the right direction.
Would be interesting to see an official source, paid for by the official source.
Yes! 100% agree. Tutorials is the most important thing, I have outlined some important topic in my comment please add other topics if I have missed something.
Thanks for your reply. After reading through the other replies I can understand the concerns of maybe thing going out of date. Maybe some sort of video WIKI that can be updated with the most timely info could work.
