About me:
Hey everyone! I&rsquo;m Kevin, the founder and host of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/coinsider" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coinsider channel on YouTube</a>. I&rsquo;m here today to propose to you a specialized content campaign for Polkadot and its ecosystem.
First, I know what some of y&rsquo;all are thinking: &ldquo;Sigh&hellip; yet another content creator doing a proposal?&rdquo; And I hear you! But I want to make the case that we&rsquo;re not your typical content creator and that we&rsquo;re worth working with.
So on our channel, we do around 1-2 videos per week, because each one takes 10+ hours to carefully research, script, and produce. If you watch some of our videos, I hope you&rsquo;ll notice how much care we put into them. Also, if you look at SocialBlade, you&rsquo;ll see that we&rsquo;ve still been growing during the bear market (albeit slowly), whereas other larger channels have stopped growing altogether. Furthermore, if you look at our views to sub ratio, you&rsquo;ll see that we&rsquo;re among the best in the crypto niche for channels above 100k subscribers. Anyways, I don&rsquo;t want to &ldquo;toot my own horn&rdquo; too much, I just want to share with you these stats that hopefully point to how high quality our content is.
But also, you might be thinking: &ldquo;Shouldn&rsquo;t you be covering Polkadot organically instead of getting funding for it?&rdquo; Well I have covered Polkadot in the past and plan on covering it in my upcoming series as well. But, the videos I&rsquo;m proposing are a bit more niche and don&rsquo;t fit into any of my upcoming series, so that&rsquo;s why I was thinking to do these in conjunction with Treasury funding and you guys in the community. And I&rsquo;m pretty confident that these will bring solid exposure to certain parts of Polkadot that will end up benefiting the project and the community.
Now the next question some of y&rsquo;all may be thinking is: &ldquo;Will you be able to make an impact during the bear market?&rdquo; Well I think so, and the reason why is because of the videos I&rsquo;m specifically proposing (see below). They are mostly evergreen videos that would still be relevant months later, so even if they don&rsquo;t go &ldquo;viral&rdquo; per se, they will still get more and more views as time goes on. Also, my existing audience likes Layer 1 blockchains, but I haven't really covered Layer 0s in-depth, so I think I can get some of them to start following Polkadot as well.
So yea, this is my first proposal and I just wanted to do a smaller campaign to see if yall like the idea, and if I&rsquo;m able to do a great job, hopefully we can work together again in the future.
Description:
This proposal asks the Polkadot Treasury for funding of a total of 3 high quality educational videos covering the following topics:
<ol>
<li>Why Polkadot Is The Most Decentralized Project Out There (OpenGov) </li>
<li>Top 5 Polkadot Ecosystem Projects You Must Know! </li>
<li>Why 2024 Will Be A Gamechanger for Polkadot! (Upcoming Milestones)</li>
</ol>
The total requested amount for the production of these videos is 5000 DOT (Around $20k).
At the end of each video, I will refer people to the official Polkadot Discord channel and include the link in the description as well. And once the 3 videos are delivered, I'll post a comment in the Polkassembly article.
If you have any questions, drop a comment below and I look forward to your feedback!
Best,
Kevin

This proposal aims to boost participation and decentralize voting power in OpenGov, without changing Polkadot's core network. By enabling more active and anonymous participation for DOT holders, it seeks to create a more inclusive and dynamic governance environment, improving engagement in Polkadot's ecosystem. The deliverables will be open source, under an AGPL license, to encourage adoption and ensure long-term sustainability through increased governance participation and network transactions.
