Survey! Should Weekly Debrief have its own channel?

I like having them together. For me, having all the content in one place makes it easier to keep up on someone's work. However, if the news content was separated out I'd really like to see more in-depth news videos.

It makes sense to me to have the Debriefs on their own channel, one that only focuses on news. I think it may help you a bit SEO-wise and may attract subscribers who are only looking for that sort of video. If someone wants to keep up with what you're doing, they can subscribe to both channels (as I would) or, support you here on Patreon.

I enjoy the Weekly Debrief but I also enjoy your other content about queer culture and history. However I don't watch your live-streams or Sewers of Paris. I manage to find what I'm looking for on your channel as it is so I don't see a need to change things, at least from my perspective.

Honestly, I have no opinion. I "enjoy" both programs, even though enjoy isn't the right word for the Weekly Debrief. Thanks for both the Culture Cruise and the Weekly Debrief. I love that I have the opportunity to learn about a topic that helps me be a better ally and creator.

I like it all on one channel, but I have read the YouTube comments where people complain that the debrief is not Culture Cruise, which... I don't know what to tell them. I've been watching your channel since 2015, and I think your channel does a great service by navigating political issues AND media/culture together because it shows how our media has changed in its historical context, but also it shows explicitly how everything is political and connected. It flies against the common complaint by the dominant culture about "making things political," and I think that's expressly important right now with world politics being what they are. I understand how some people may not like this reality, but I don't think splitting your audience will ultimately help. The most common complaint with the weekly debrief is that you don't list the sources in the video or the description, which I do think may help, but I honestly love the debrief as it is. If you do split the channels, I'll watch both and I'll still be a patron, but I think keeping it as one would be better so that people who only come for the camp have to also wrestle with the facts.

I think I feel the same way Craig does. I don't have a problem being subscribed to both if you decide to separate them, but I think the whole package is valuable and don't think it needs separating. I see your other content as still very educational, just not usually focused on current events. I see learning about the past and how the present is being effected (or not) a good balance and useful for understanding issues better.

I voted to keep because I'm used to your channel having a mix (so it's kinda your "brand" for me), but I'd be fine if there were two channels (I just wouldn't clamor for it).
