May I introduce you to VinylVideo - probably the least commercially viable new product I've seen in quite some time, and yet I was compelled to buy one. It's half art project, half tech demo and 100% bizarre. 

In a world of smartphones and more smartphones with the occasional smartphone, the not-at-all-smart VinylVideo has the power to stand out from the crowd and capture my attention. Thank goodness for oddballs and tech tinkerers - they're the ones that keep things interesting. 

Here is the official website http://vinylvideo.supersense.com and there are other links in the youtube video description text box.

UPDATE

I’ve been advised by Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog in the comments that the Raspberry Pi wasn’t powered via usb - it’s powered via the GPIO pins. So I've gone back to do another re-edit to reword the section where I stated the opposite (we’re up to version 5.0 now). Anyway while I was there, I also took the opportunity to tidy up a couple of other bits (snips of fractions of a second) and also add in a section where the video is being played back from my main Denon turntable as per the request from Lance Boudreaux. A request that also got a heart/thumbs up from someone else  - so that’s two people who wanted to see this.  You can see this new section at around the 14 minute mark. 

I hope this extra work results in more interest on youtube - my recent videos haven’t caught the attention of a wider viewership, despite them being well received by those who saw them. Fingers crossed this one is odd enough to get picked up by a popular tech or music website as I could do with scoring a hit, I’m starting to feel like I’m making Nicolas Cage movies.

Just catching up here. I'm with you, Mat, this is way more interesting than the latest iSomething. You might like 'Slow Scan TV' which radio hams use to send pictures over audio. There won't be a video in it, but you might find it interesting.

I've heard about slow scan - but I'd guess it would be too complicated/expensive/time-consuming to get into. I haven't looked into it but I'd imagine there are some good channels that cover Ham radio.

I really sympathise with you, Mat. When your channel was more a hobby than a career, it didn't matter if you made a video just because you found the subject interesting. Now it's your sole source of income, you are obviously slanting the content to get those important views, likes and subscribers - and of course patrons. This isn't necessarily dumbing down, but trying to please more and more people with every video you make, must be becoming almost as stressful as a nine to five office job. Working from home, doing something you love is of course rewarding, but having to keep watching all the stats must be wearing.

I do still try and make videos about the things that really interest me, but you're correct, I am very conscious of which videos have underperformed. More often than not they've been the ones I liked the best. I try and make a mixture of more economical, less complicated videos, and others that take longer and cost more. I suppose these are my passion projects. If I were just going for the money, I could drop the passion projects and only make the cheaper simpler videos as they often seem to bring in the same revenue and views as the more elaborate videos. However I like to keep myself interested, have some fun and experience new things even when it's at the expense of views and income.
