Now that I have re-activated VODs on Twitch (for all the right reasons) I wonder what I should save and send to YouTube.
VODs are deleted after 60 days. This is a good thing. Most live content is probably best to just die/expire given the rate of change in the industry. It is better to have new content, or to force new answers to the same questions, than to have outdated content and opinions. It’s actually a good thing to re-answer the same question again every 60 days.
Stream screw ups are eventually cleaned up without extra effort. This is important because when doing IRL streams you might end up with half-a-dozen broken VODs that can just be deleted. But since Twitch VODs are deleted automatically I can just leave them to eventually be cleaned up.
Good Morning streams are a relevant summary. They are short, capture
thoughts and direction without too many details. They serve as a log of
learning and changes to opinions as well as events. These are easy to
publish and I’ve created a morning shortcut command to setup the
zettelcasts.
Topical responses to specific questions are tied to a zettel. This allows the video to be remade and the zettel re-written over time. These are short and usually to the point and therefore should remain. These are also the principle form of content for related Boost videos.
I already have Twitter notifications going out when I change the topic allowing people to pick up on it. The Knowledge Fellowship is also notifying when I start streaming.
Have to stop and start stream to get consistency in VODs. Before I would just leave it running. But these days, I always make a break in the stream on purpose to force the creation of a new VOD.
