**Update October 12:**

Hello, [here is a 3 min. video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od3QNQ0J-Og) about why I believe it is beneficial for the Polkadot to have many dedicated content creators and what value they bring.

**Update October 11:**

Hello again,
my proposal is currently failing. **I would kindly ask “Nay” voters to provide me their feedback and reasons for rejecting my proposal, so that I can adjust my future proposal for a tip.** Do you find the cost per video too high, is it the quality of the content or do you consider the reach of my videos low?
1)	The price - by far the lowest proposed cost per video of all ecosystem video content creators.
2)	Educational content explaining Polkadot’s technology & what makes Polkadot superior to other ecosystems.
3)	Comparable reach/views on YT to 2 biggest Polkadot YT channels - The Kusamarian & KryptosChain.
4)	I have already delivered [10 videos](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kC4E1EvXlyIH8XGfglKKF6CDYCnSW5eW2fS7DuD9g2Q/edit?usp=sharing) - asking for a retroactive tip.

**Please provide me with some feedback, I am open to adjust my proposal.**

To date I haven’t received any funds from the treasuries for my 2 years contribution to the Polkadot ecosystem.
**This tip would allow me to remain an active contributor to the Polkadot ecosystem also in the future.**

- Having many dedicated Polkadot content creators contributes to Polkadot’s resilience. 
- Let’s be supportive of **genuine content creators**, who ask for **reasonable reward** for their work. 
- Let’s allow for **healthy competition** between Polkadot content creators.
- Competition between content creators will push each creator to improve the quality of their content, benefiting the Polkadot community, eventually leading to a greater adoption of the Polkadot eco.

**If you haven’t voted yet, please consider taking 2-3 min to review my proposal** [in this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX_JuthQVPc).
I believe you will find my video content beneficial for the ecosystem, and what I ask a reasonable amount.

**If you still find the amount I ask too high, please suggest what would be a fair tip for my videos.**

Thank you,
Max

**Brief Info:**

Hello, this is Max (Polkadot Ambassador & [Cryptozilla YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChgsijhjO9iigYe3BrZMMvw)) and this is my treasury proposal to request a tip (980 DOT) for the production of 25 English educational videos about the Polkadot ecosystem.


**Cryptozilla YT Channel Introduction:**

**Over more than 2 years, I have released 233 English educational videos about Polkadot & Kusama, including more than 35 ecosystem dApps tutorials. All video content totalling over 30 hours.** Thanks to my long-term effort to create quality video content about the Polkadot ecosystem, my YT channel has become one of the biggest channels focused on Polkadot. **All my video content received more than 466,000 views to date** (see KPIs in [the full proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jn_B-t_6HJ70LIvF1XYzwCDjvd9DHvls/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109251064373401876264&rtpof=true&sd=true)).


**Selected dApps tutorials on my channel:**

1. [8 best dApps in Polkadot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPcEoAg3L0s) (803 views)
2. [Interlay Bitcoin DeFi Hub](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p114BbAgGE) (271 views)

5. [Trade With Your USDT on Moonbeam & HydraDX](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrXsN2y-xWc) (450 views)




**The purpose of this proposal:**

With this proposal I ask the Polkadot Treasury for a tip (**980 DOT**) for the production of **25 English educational videos**. **The proposal is partially retroactive, as 10 videos have already been delivered.** The funds will also serve as a reward for the production of 15 more videos about Polkadot on my YT channel. 

**Requested DOT amount & video cost:**

**I set the cost of each video at $160, hence I ask for $4,000 worth of 980 DOT, with DOT price at $4.076,** [EMA7](https://polkadot.subscan.io/tools/charts?type=price))

**10 Delivered videos:**

1. [Polkadot vs. Cardano Comparison](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC71rZEbcaY) (422 views)
2. [Polkadot vs. Avalanche Comparison](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBhWiudiYY4) (329 views)
3. [Gavin Wood’s Best 10 Quotes about Polkadot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIaHJwAx3zU) (439 views)
4. [Polkadot vs. Cosmos Comparison](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7rM0QpMoig) (480 views)

**The remaining 15 videos will be delivered over the next 2 months (1-2 videos/week) and will include:**

- 2 more comparison videos: **Polkadot vs. Solana & Polkadot vs. NEAR Protocol**

- Videos explaining Polkadot’s technology: Blockspace, Cores, XCM, OpenGov

- dApps tutorials, Ecosystem news videos 

I report the KPIs of each video [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kC4E1EvXlyIH8XGfglKKF6CDYCnSW5eW2fS7DuD9g2Q/edit?usp=sharing) with 10 delivered videos already included.

**Why comparison videos:**

Comparison videos have become an essential part of my video production. So far I have made 4 of them: 
**Polkadot vs Ethereum, Cosmos, Avalanche, Cardano.**
I believe that comparing Polkadot with other ecosystems is one of the most efficient ways to introduce Polkadot also to other blockchain ecosystems communities. I am going to compare Polkadot with all the major ecosystems.

**The vision of my YT channel:**

The main focus of my channel will remain on producing detailed ecosystem dApps tutorials as well as to educate about Polkadot’s technology and its Web3 vision. I don’t do sponsored videos. The purpose of my channel is to educate about Polkadot and be viewed as a resource of trustworthy information about the Polkadot eco for the existing community as well as for newcomers to the Polkadot space.

**Conclusion:**
