**Update May 4:**

As my treasury proposal is going to be rejected by the majority of Kusama community, I would kindly ask those who voted Nay to provide me with at least a brief feedback. Your valuable feedback will allow me to improve my future proposals and avoid making the same mistakes. **Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.**

Hello Kusama community, 

this is Max, and this is the referendum on my **treasury proposal for 4-month funding** of my [Cryptozilla Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/@CryptozillaKH/videos). 
Please find the full treasury proposal [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jn_B-t_6HJ70LIvF1XYzwCDjvd9DHvls/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109251064373401876264&rtpof=true&sd=true).

I am a long-term video content creator about Polkadot & Kusama networks and ecosystem projects. Over the **last 1 year 8 months, I have released 195 Polkadot/Kusama-related videos, in the last ∼7 months I have created 21 detailed dapp/UI tutorials.**

I am asking for funding to produce **40 English educational videos**, that will be **delivered in the next 4 months (10 videos/month).**
I am asking for the total amount of **$12,800** currently worth of **400 KSM** in accordance with the [7-day EMA](https://kusama.subscan.io/tools/charts?type=price).

**I set the cost of one video for the Kusama treasury at $320.**

**I create:**

- dApp tutorials
- Project reviews 
- “A bigger picture”-focused videos about the vision and role of the Polkadot in Web3

A big part of my video creation are detailed ecosystem dapp/UI tutorials. **Within the last ∼7 months, I have released 21 tutorials.**

In the next 4 months, I am going to continue focusing on dapp tutorials and will create a detailed “hands-on” tutorial on each new dapp/UI launched.

My channel is the third biggest ecosystem-focused channel by **the average number of views/video - 394 views in the last 6 months.**

In [my proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jn_B-t_6HJ70LIvF1XYzwCDjvd9DHvls/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109251064373401876264&rtpof=true&sd=true), I put a strong focus on **providing KPIs** (Key Performance Indicators) of my channel over the last 6 months as well as the minimum, expected KPIs for the following 4 months. **Based on the past and projected KPIs, the CPV (Cost Per View) of my videos for the Kusama treasury will be between $0,92 - $1,28.**

In **the section 5 - ROI (Return on Investment)**, I aimed to provide my view at how the ROI of my video content can be measured and calculated, at least to some degree. 

If this proposal is approved by the Kusama community, I will keep [this spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kC4E1EvXlyIH8XGfglKKF6CDYCnSW5eW2fS7DuD9g2Q/edit#gid=0) updated after each new video is released, **providing the community with all the KPIs, including the current CPV**. The spreadsheet will be available for the community to review and comment on anytime.

Once all 40 videos are delivered, **I will provide the community with a detailed performance report of all videos**, as well as with **the evaluation of how my set goals and projected ROI have been achieved.**

I believe I have submitted a reasonable proposal to the Kusama community to vote on, bringing good value to the ecosystem, with reasonable pricing and mechanisms ensuring the treasury funds will be put to good use.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to review and consider my proposal and for voting. 

I will be happy to answer all your questions.

Max
