Has Anandtech considered creating a YouTube channel?

[Ghost]

I joined Anandtech almost 25 years ago, and found it a fantastic resource for tech stuff over the years.
I didn't have a need to build a PC for a number of years, but I'm looking to build one now.
I am a little disappointed in the lack of some content. I went to look for Best Video Cards for gaming and it was last updated in 2019.
Someone in a forum post mentioned Anandtech might be losing out on some stuff as YouTubers might be getting the attention from vendors, etc.
I don't know if that's true.
But if it is true, have you considered creating your own Youtube channel?
Historically, you guys have had the best info out there. I'm sorry to see it isn't quite what it used to be.

While I generally hate the whole business model of "social influencers" on YouTube, it does seem like it's how the younger generation wants to get all of their information.

They don't want to read/think for themselves, they just want watch somebody tell them the information. I agree it would likely be a wise decision for Future to look into creating a channel for Anandtech. It doesn't seem like it would hurt anything, it would just come down to how much time/resources they would want to put into it.

Truth be told, not much has changed since 2019.
And if you havent watched the news, video cards have skyrocketed in price. You really dont need a 2022 high end video card right now.

That's because they're all mine now.


Edit: /s, obviously. It's because I was a miner.

Yup, what's more they often demand that you give them information as if that's your day job.

You know what's better than a Youtube channel? A podcast of AT forum members discussing/arguing/bickering about stuff. That would be COOL!

I forgot that messenger software's name that had these groups where the moderator would give turns to everyone and let them voice their opinions. I regret not doing any serious discussions there because my modem was too slow.
