@james So, replicating what Libsyn has done (make static-image video and upload to YouTube) for 15+ years.
Meh.
I don’t see these getting enough plays on YT (so YT can place video ads) to keep YTs interest for long.
Unless this YT are being methodical and executing the first steps in a larger strategy. History has me skeptical of that, but I won’t rule it out.
