Although the Spot talk show on the YouTube platform has only less than seven thousand people, the shows themselves – there have been 41 of them for almost a year – have a significant number of views, which shows that the authors of the show and the format of the conversation hit the top ten.
During the show, the largest number of views is for an interview with Jānis Domburs (69,000 views), a conversation with Zigmars Liepiņš, Lato Laps (both 62,000 views) and Jānis Skutelis (47,000 views). The broadcast could also be listened to on the Spotify platform.
In the latest episode of “Spot”, Gillinger interviewed businessman Peter Schmidt, but at the end of the conversation said that this conversation is probably the last. “We have been with you for almost a year. Since our supporters have run out (maybe someone else will show up), we are ending up like this at the moment,” Gillinger said at the end of the recording.
As the show’s producer Erika Matrosova explains to the portal “Delfi”, the decision to stop filming “J. Spot” has really been made.
“The financial revenue from the monetization of YouTube does not cover the technical costs of creating the program and maintaining communication. In the summer months, we tried to address entrepreneurs directly and invite advertising cooperation, but we did not receive a response. .
The producer adds that the total cost of one episode is around 1,600 euros, and four or five programs were recorded per month. Both she, the project manager and both managers – Gillinger and Adams – worked for free. “Last November, we started all this with the aim of providing a more or less qualitative form of information during the session with a positive contribution – to learn about more famous or less famous personalities, going into how they have come to this day and become as they are today. masks and artificial nuances, “says Matrosova.
Asked if “Spot” could ever return to Internet users, Matrosova explains that this is possible only if there are advertisers who will cover at least the technical costs. Switching to a paid content platform does not seem acceptable to the Patreon creative team yet.
