Episode notes
Content Creators As Miners
- BitCast applies BitTensor incentives to content creation by making creators into miners who compete on sponsored briefs.
- An LLM validates briefs against video content and winners are chosen by engagement metrics tied to YouTube revenue.
Write Briefs To Attract Multiple Creators
- Brands submit briefs that outline key points and creators choose whether to produce videos against them.
- Do design clear briefs to attract multiple creators and maximise submissions quickly.
LLM Validation + Revenue-Based Scoring
- Videos are validated by an LLM for brief compliance and then scored on engagement metrics linked to YouTube revenue.
- BitCast moved from minutes-watched to YouTube's revenue metric to make rewards more robust.
