If possible, can I ask why haven't ANN Youtube channel got new contents for month? And what about original contents? Yours "Studio Tours", which I really enjoyed, was produced around a decade ago, and since then ANN had rarely made any original video contents anymore.

That stuff was really expensive to produce. While we were very proud of it, it was a major money loser.

Times have changed however. Producing video is cheaper now, our traffic is much bigger, and a few other things. We already plan to look into video again later this year and in 2019.

This is great news indeed! I hope your plan will become fruitful!.

Also, I am no expert or anything, but maybe you guys should start small. It seems to be the basic of a lot of successful Youtube channels to me: Starting with bite-size contents released frequently to raise the fanbase and keep them engaged, before moving into something more elaborate.

Late reply, but...

What we're planing on is small, under 5 minute, companion pieces to other editorial article. So we might do something like the old studio tours, but the interview section would be entirely text, and we might publish 1 or 2 companion videos showing the visually cool aspects...
