Bitcoin Forum

Hello out there to everyone here. For all of you here who may spend some time watching various Crypto Content Creators on platforms like YouTube. I know now that the market is really saturated by many people doing similar things.

What are some of the things you see too much of from many Content Creators?

What are some thing you feel many are lacking when it comes to content of information about crypto?

What types of things maybe Content Creators should focus on?

What interests you most to watch a specific content creators?

Of course I am not preying for tips? Just like to find feedback from everyone here. Who Feels that they are not getting what they want from the video community?

Maybe there is something that is lacking for information you wish to see more of?

Look to your feedbacks.

Sharing news, giving speculations and charts.

Integrity. Some of them starts to just share things that are paid by the advertiser for them to be viewed by their followers/subscribers even it's not necessary.

What they really like and stick to their contents and nothing wrong as long as they maintain their integrity.

The interaction and the willingness of the creator to share knowledge and stuff he finds for the community.

Content creators are free to give and produce their videos and as an audience, I can't ask anything more than they can give and I don't think that I have to demand since I watch videos for free.

I can't think of it, maybe it should be noticed by the content creators themselves.

What is probably lacking are contents pertaining to specific details of very technical developments. But, to be honest, for crypto laymen like me, of which the crypto space is predominantly made up, the online universe is already full of contents. We have so much of them. Videos, podcasts, and articles about crypto abound online.

But what is definitely lacking are viewers of these contents, readers of these articles, and listeners to these podcasts. What is obviously lacking is interest among ordinary crypto users to learn more.

Let's take, for example, the contents of one of the most appreciated and perhaps objective and expert Bitcoin evangelists, Andreas Antonopoulos. Of his hundreds of contents on Youtube, simplified, particularly created for crypto laymen, how many of those have even reached a million views or even half a million or even 100k?

Mindless altcoin shilling like there's no tomorrow.

Actually good information lol.

In a growth perspective, mostly being entertaining because that's what gets the attention of a lot of people.

A good mix between being entertaining and being informative.

Me. That's why I don't subscribe to the so-called "crypto youtubers".

The advertisement will be different in bullish and bearish markets.

In bearish market, companies switch to defensive phase (prepare for new products, upgrades and they will release such things and news at a right time). Influencers, KOLs, content creators in turn will be inactive.

Contrasting with bearish market, in bullish market, all things turn to be more active, from companies to influencers, KOLs, content creators and scammers as well. Old projects will be active again with products, upgrades, and marketing campaigns. New scam projects will be created. Together, they result in massive advertisments on many channels.

My due respect for Andreas Antonopoulous because he rejected a secret invitation from scam team and publicly announced about it on his Twitter. He warned community about scammers.

Sharing their experience and knowledge about the crypto world, mostly ate focused on speculations, reviews on exchanging websites, and so on.

Good advice and lack of creativity in discussing the information, some arr also lack entertainment, most of the people caught their attention when they are entertained by the videos.

They should focus only on the things they are comfortable or they really have good knowledge about it, it is really hard for every content creator to express and discuss very well the topic if they don't have enough knowledge about it. Exploring or thinking outside the box is good but they should prioritize first the things they are comfortable with.

The credibility of the speaker, I am also looking for the vlogger who is really good at explaining things, I also like when there is a good animation on the video.

Me sometimes, there are a lot of crypto content creators, there are also many videos that I can say good and bad based on the knowledge and how they deliver it but we can't blame those content creator because they are free for the things they want to share to all of us and we are also free to give suggestions and criticism for their videos.

Informative, well explanation and entertainment are all that I am looking for content.

I don't have a problem with too many crypto content creators on Youtube because I am sure those content creators want to give information about crypto, and they are in the right place to share what they know. We should be aware that not all information is right because some content creators will only promote what they did to attract more visitors to visit on the page.

Perhaps, you need to filter every information you got from Youtube because many of the content is not telling the truth. It is our job to get as much information as possible, but we need to read and watch on the right person. It is not easy as we need to find without stop if we want to have more information.

I think the mainstream media is putting a lot of focus on the negative things that are done with Bitcoin (Silkroad / Exchanges getting hacked / Bitcoin used to fund terrorism etc.) and we need more content creators to create content that are focused on the positive things that are done with Crypto currencies.

Go out there and find the things that Bitcoin and Crypto currencies are doing that are positive. (Changing the way previous things was done in the past or enabling people to do things that they found difficult to do with other payment options.)

what do they need? knowledge!

99% of them don't even know what bitcoin or any of the cryptocurrencies are. they are not content creators, they are spammers who are trying to make money from their video views, website traffic,... it's the same as all these news sites that keep popping up like mushrooms. they are clickbaits.

to create actual valuable content they first have to educate themselves so that they don't spread misinformation and also they must stay away from shitcoins since majority of them are just advertising some shitcoin they have bought or were paid to advertise regardless of whether or not it is a scam.

There's actually MORE bad information, and DISinformation out there, than actually informative information. I believe more than 80% of posters in the forum don't undertand what Bitcoin is/how it works.

OP, we need more content creators who, ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Real Content is what's missing in a lot of videos from these so-called "content creators". I think most of their videos are sponsored by some team. If not, then it's most likely a low-key shill of their bags. There was this guy, I'm not going to name, who started as good and passionate about crypto but then began accepting "reviews" and "interviews" from new projects while getting paid.

There was even a time when I saw a video with ads hehehe.

It's more like I'm watching advertisements instead of actual objective views with regards to various altcoins and Bitcoin itself. Not to mention that most of them are just speculative content which honestly, is not what I want to watch about. Even if they do talk about information, general ones, they're more often than not coming from articles that they themselves have written, and sources are pretty much basically from weird ass subjective people that give out, well, basically, wrong or fake information.

Well, not that I watch them now adays, I only watched them back then when I just entered the crypto scene, but not anymore. It's a lot better imo to actually read the articles itself regarding various info I want, and making a judgement off of that instead of believing a judgement made by someone else, which is most likely influenced by a third party.

It seems to me all crypto content creators are victims of the "shiny object syndrome".They want to find the "next big thing". The altcoin or crypto project that will take the crypto market by storm.Or maybe they are just being paid for promoting shitcoins and potential scams.
I don't watch crypto content creators that much anymore.I last crypto youtuber I watched was Francis from the "The crypto lifestyle" Youtube channel.He was entertaining.

I do not much follow crypto content using YouTube so I would answer from a general stand point (including articles, podcasts etc).
One thing I see too much of is 'clickbaits'. Content creators, in trying to build their audience use various tactics to attract traffic, this is not inherently a bad practice, but when done with little or no back up content or using inaccurate information it would have a negative effect on the community.

What is lacking from my PoV is reliable creators who give out undiluted information with the sole motive of educating the audience. Such creators may not 'trend' often, but would eventually stand out from the pile.
A lot of them started of this way, but as they gained more relevance, offers to quickly monetize their audience by promoting below par projects came along and some jumped on that.

I would answer both questions together as they are somewhat related;
What keeps me hooked and what I think creators should focus on are, relevance and entertainment.
A creator should find their preferred niche where they are most educated in and stick to that, this improves their relevance and allows their select audience find them easily. Entertainment value is what gets their audience through their videos, articles or podcast recordings.

It's almost impossible to find a whole community that appeals to everyone. There would be the good, bad and of course, the shills. The trick is to filter the bunch, find what is beneficial to you and stick to that.

Yes and no I think:)

Yes there is too much content already and everything seems to be incomplete and repetitive. For me the worst thing about youtube content is that there are too much fluff inside,,, I really hate when the video is full of shit at the beginning and middle and end it makes me block the content rightaway.

No, there is not enough good content with no ads, no selling and no hype. Make that if you want, people like me will appreciate it deeply.

I went through all articles about cryptocurrency content creation. Most of them tend to advertise and exaggerate projects rather than useful knowledge.
Very few articles go into depth explaining the unique technologies and looking at the future trend of blockchain. Although this knowledge is interesting everyone is difficult to absorb because it relates to mathematical knowledge and not everyone understands.
In addition to the above content, we also see projects running ads. It seems that we are overwhelmed with information regarding cryptocurrencies.

The same non sense prediction. Majority of them doesn't even know or identify certain patterns. You can clearly see that they don't know what they've talking about.

Not really sure though, most of the information are already here in the community.

With so many of them, it's hard to filter which one is really knowledgeable.

As I have said, this community is the best source.

Thanks everyone on your feedbacks. Yes I am a Content Creator myself in Crypto and yes I agree on many things you all said., The community is flooded by many others. I myself have gotten requests to promote "low grade " projects and turned them down for many reasons.

I do my best to provide good information which my sources are always accurate. But i agree I am repetitive in many ways. More less I would just simplify information for new people to learn from.

I am working on being more entertaining, which is hard.  To be unique.

I always wanted to be able to help people solve a problem or situation through my videos.

I feel I will not quit at this time. I just feel there is room for improvement.  Maybe make something different or a different focus that could make people want to watch a video. Thanks on for sharing.

be careful when doing this, you don't want to oversimplify. i have seen people trying to simplify complicated topics (mainly technical aspects of bitcoin) and end up with oversimplifying to the point that the information becomes wrong. i have probably done this myself too, it is a very hard thing to do correctly.
for example we still see some newcomers confused about reading explanation of how SegWit works because someone oversimplified it wrong by telling them "signatures are stored somewhere else in the blocks" or "removed from transactions"! which are both wrong.

I would definitely like to see more types of technical content. I'm interested in learning about how some new developments work but sometimes it is difficult to find information.

What Darker45 and pooya87 said. There are not enough videologs and podcasts about the development and proposal of core bitcoin features such as Lightning Network, Liquid, Taproot and also about significant news about bitcoin-core. We know you have a niche audience anyway limited to people who understand what cryptocurrencies are but you need to cater to those people, becuse right now that information is scattered all over the web. It's not easy to see the status of new features and protocol updates.

Mainstream crypto news puts too much focus on exchange hacks,  DeFi hacks, scams, and other negative things, it makes the image of crypto look bad and poorly secured. Running stories mainly about unpleasant things will make your audience depressed, look what happened when mainstream media started covering primarily wars for their breaking news.

I'd argue that you don't have to turn your news outlet into a tutorial and training course, but at  least some basic explanations about fundamental bitcoin parts is necessary for viewers to understand your stories.

if theres too much that would be the promotion of them . theres that crypto youtuber i follow and he always show this one coin on every upload of his video .

 thats annoying for me and if i could only tell him to limit it , i would but i dont know if he will listen because who am i ?  

im just only a viewer.  if theres a thing that the platform lack of , that is the number of youtuber with crypto contents . they are small and they arent famous enough to go trending . we need more of them .

As usual shilling and selling shitcoins telling people how huge the possible profit If they invest to their projects.
Happened to both local and international content creators.

The dedication to teach the viewers about cryptocurrency as a whole without advertising their crypto product or any projects that pays them to get exclusive exposure inside their content.
Focus on encouraging your viewers on how to properly manage their Btc and other cryptos, latest improvements/news in Bitcoin network and cryptospace, and of course basic informative presentation for the viewers to easily understand everything about cryptocurrency.

With the huge number of content creators about cryptocurrency, I guess every basic and advanced information has been disseminated already. But, what I wish not to see from them is the continuous advertising of shitcoins.

I see many projects review on Youtube, but I also see other things such as making money fast, how to earn passive income from crypto, etc.

The project details may be lacking information that the content creators don't explain much to their visitor/viewer.

If they want to promote one project, they should search for more information and update their channel, so people who subscribe to their channel will know and get the information. But as we know that the content creator will have a different way of promoting the project, they can use another method to promote it.

Maybe if the content creator can share more details and open a discussion to their subscriber or visitor, that will be good for them as they will have more people who want to invest in that project. But we can force them to follow what we want because they are not one of the teams, so it is normal if they don't know something.

Sometimes I feel that I can not get what I want from them, so if that so, I only skip to the next content until I can found what I need.

Yes, that is normal to see if there is a lack of information that they serve to us since they don't involve too deep in that project, so maybe they need to ask more of the project teams.

^ I would prefer to read news about how the governments are accepting the cryptocurrency. Also, I'd like to read about how crypto-peeps tackle the problems and prohibitions with their solutions. In that way, we can trace where do we stand.  Those are the two key points I had like to know about regularly. Because of course, those are the real deal. Nevertheless, studying is the most important to us including research, we those pros and cons upon exploring the internet.

Most of the content creator doesn't really have the technical knowledge about cryptos but they still trying to build their audience for making money.Real people not going togive much important from the contents they found on internet to be honest.
