Making ideas for my Youtube channel

Making ideas for my Youtube channel - student project
Hi everyone, I'm Nicolás, and I'm taking this class because I want to start a very niche YouTube channel. Ever since my teenage years, I've been a huge fan of YouTubers from my home country, Chile. I've always enjoyed watching the progress and evolution of various creators on the platform over the years, including their finest moments as well as their most difficult controversies. Over time, I've noticed that many people lose track of creators from ten years ago—some hold onto false information, while others simply forget about them.
My idea is to create a channel focused on those old-school creators who were part of many people's childhoods and teenage years. Through this channel, I aim to cover their personal stories, their careers, and the great moments we shared as a community—always approaching it from a place of nostalgia, respect, and genuine appreciation.
Based on what I've learned in this class, I have come up with three main video concepts for this channel:
  1. Chilean YouTubers
  2. The evolution of the platform in the country
  3. The audience
My narrative questions for these videos would be:
  • Why did (some big chilean youtuber for example) stop uploading content?
  • How have Chilean YouTubers evolved over the past 15 years?
  • What does the audience remember about old-school Chilean YouTubers?
Here is how I came up with these ideas:
  • I was curious to learn more about many Chilean YouTubers and noticed that several of them stopped uploading for similar reasons, which made me want to dive deeper.
  • Today's content on the platform is a drastic shift from 15 years ago. I've always wanted to understand—and explain to others—why content will never be what it used to be and what caused this change.
  • Due to fake news and rumors spreading online, there are negative memories attached to certain content creators that I believe are important to debunk.
Through my research, I've found that people are interested in remembering the creators from their childhoods and would be willing to watch videos on the topic. Although this isn't a massive mainstream audience, it’s a project I would love to work on in my spare time as a long-term personal hobby to stay engaged and entertained.
Thank you very much for the insights shared in this class; I will gladly put them to use for this project.
