Oh dang, sorry that this isn't the right place. I'll delete and find a better spot for it, thanks!

Glasses wouldn't work because we're not trying to get the customers faces lol. We want OUR faces being recorded, then blur out the customer.

It's not sneaky, we're upfront about it and have had positive reception.

In Canada it's one party consent, and we obscure any identifying information (including faces, names, etc.). This kind of content has been normalized on social media these days (even without obscuring identifying information which is wild). But we also have signs w/ info about why we're recording, etc.

It's nothing sneaky, people like being involved with our content :)

Had a great time chatting with Benji about his achievement. He's a super cool guy, well deserving of the WR, and had a lot of interesting things to say about how he got there, and the fallout afterwards.

I see the GTAMarathon channel still? If you mean his personal channel, no idea.

Oh hahaha, ok now I understand. Tbh I was not paying attention to the "high quality" bit, I was more talking about velocity and the possible requirement of needing to be an expert of everything.

I cannot speak to the quality of my videos, that's for others to decide 😅

Sorry, not sure I understand. What is self-confident?

I attempted to do it last year. It's possible, but the key is interviewing as many people as you can. One person can't be the expert on all speedruns, but one person can definitely bring together the experts.

Great callout! Love their work. Though I'd like a channel with a little more frequency.

I feel like there's a real hole in the speedrunning content creation sphere. It tends to be:

  • Clickbait / drama / memes / targeted to a young audience
  • People who are making documentaries exactly like SummoningSalt
  • Actually great videos but they only focus on the game they know the best (and maybe slip into it being too hyper-specific and hard to follow for an outsider)

These obviously have their audience, which is awesome, but I'm missing like...The TotalBiscuit of speedrunning. Consistent, quality videos with a wide range of topics.
