From what you write I take it that you are displeased with the Internet as a whole, or rather, the truckloads of despicable content a plethora of “dishonest” people are creating. While you may be absolutely correct about the lack of “dignity” in these cases, I wouldn’t throw the whole YouTube community overboard on the sole basis of some (OK, a lot) content being below par (or worse).
Take a look at some more “decent” examples where the educational part of the presentation is readily more apparent than in the average “frozen elsa hulk spiderman” fodder:
These videos also have a LOT of views, not only because kids enjoy them but also because parents approve.
Simply creating a template with a nice looking alphabet, a few basic things in distinctive colors or some funny characters could inspire video makers to get started and join in on the fun.
Now I’m no expert in what level a VH template need to be in order to meet approval, but I would be equally surprised and disappointed if authors and reviewers wouldn’t be able to reach an understanding, for the good of the VH market.
About some people stealing templates, I’m guessing that’s already the case? Not likely an argument for not pursuing revenue where it is potentially hidden. Creating tools that inspire and motivate to create high quality content can hardly be a bad thing, even if as you point out, the bottom feeders of YouTube may not care much for upping their game in the content department. But there should be a middle-ground in the market, between the full time studios and the “stealers”, people who are willing to put in the effort but may not have all the tools. These are the ones you should target.
I come in contact with these kinds of people everyday, since they are buying music licences from us for their kids channels. Sure, their level of graphic/animation content varies quite a bit, from pro to not-so-pro, but it’s very clear that a large portion of these buyers are not the “hulk spiderman” kind, but rather they have an amicable educational purpose in mind with their channels. If I were one of those I would surely welcome ready-made templates, of say, an alphabet sequence, or a colour presentation, or even a “Finger Family” template, it just makes it easier to throw another upload into the mix compared to re-inventing it all from scratch.
Am I the only one believing in this?
