GraalTube Headquarters

[Vance]

LOL I didn't realise I said Grammys, I don't watch these shows at all.
But yeah the Oscars, I think it'd be interesting to do a twitch livestream and having different categories being showcased like Best Reviewer, Best Story, Best Cinematography, and having all of this on a live stage at the Era Theatre.
I feel like a lot of players would tune in to see this, and it would establish more communication between iEra staff and its community.

Also.. I feel like the reason for creators leaving the scene is due to the lack of recognition they get.
Some content creators on here do amazing videos but don't get recognized at all with the hard work they put in their videos so they just lose motivation. This would at least make them feel more recognized in the community for the work they do.
Also the set thing would be really helpful, green screen sets and all that would allow for more visual creativity. (I'm pretty sure they had one in the past in the Uploads House inside PJ's Playground but they removed it for some reason)

You'd be surprised on how fast GraalOnline channels grow. When I took a break from playing Era, it was very evident that YouTubers were amassing huge fandoms by making skits and reviews. I have watched channels such as iDarnell and Mistik Graal go from advertising in Start to managing their own audience outside of the game. It's nuts.

My input on this is that it's not as rewarding as you might think to make Graal videos while there's a bigger audience somewhere else. My experience of stopping the content was simply because it took me a while to make a Graal animated music video for it to receive a copyright strike and gets shut down, which made me unmotivated to give more effort. In addition to that it's quite hard to record videos in graal factoring random players walking around, gassing your scene, screaming text once they know you're recording, so you're basically forced to record in your house/gang house. PJ's playground did offer a wonderful greenscreen but the place was very limited in terms of equipment, if we had the theatre as a greenscreen/props/lighting it would've been easier. I think it was removed due to the unfairness of the YouTube gang having access to it while others can't enter it, which is fair, but then again there's the gang bases special rooms for special gangs.
Having some sort of Oscars events is nice, but don't you need more content first?
If I had the power I would hire a Marketing Team in which their purpose is to oversee and help content creators, a lot of games have those "Roles" or "Rank" where when a specific criteria is met, they may join "YouTuber" rank in which they gain something. For Graal's case, I'd say maybe access to that greenscreen location and control over furnitures there etc...
Since a newspaper team has been established to share news and stories, I don't think it would be that of an issue to have the same system for content creators via application and interview and videos, views, and follower count.

What do you guys think?

I think that'd be pretty redundant. That's kind of what the gang system is for. YouTube gang is full, and I'm not sure if Londonuts is up for recruiting new members. During 2019, I saw a bunch of players attempting to start "film crews," which was a neat idea.

They'd all come together and bounce ideas off of eachother for content. In general though, a YouTube rank would really only encourage low tier, borderline spam-type content. I can see it being abused in the same vain that basing and reward hats are farmed. I don't think staff should get involved in spreading content, but rather helping players create it.
