Back catalog brackets
The Creator Problem
The content treadmill keeps asking for the next upload. Meanwhile, the archive keeps getting deeper: old favorites, sleeper hits, divisive episodes, and videos newer viewers may never find on their own.
The work still has value. The problem is giving people a reason to return to it.
Brackeroni gives that archive a structure: one pool of videos, weekly matchups, round-by-round reveals, and one final audience favorite.
Run the vote in Brackeroni. Let YouTube handle the reactions.
