As a lover of data, I would like to see an episode discussing web analytics of FT viewers, particularly viewer age. This is important because the RC aviation hobby must attract a young audience to continue strong into the future. For example, on my own technical non-flight (CAD) videos, YouTube analytics show that the primary audience is 25-34 year-olds. But on a video showing an RC flight, the average viewers are 55-64 year-old males.
My expectation is that FT attracts a much younger crowd than does the AMA. But I would be curious to see a study of the age demographics vs topic. Which video topics attract the youngest viewing audience? One might guess that quadcopters and FPV attracts a younger audience than videos on warbirds.
It would also be interesting to see the global audience that FT attracts. This is important, because anything that unites us as people helps to make the world a more peaceful place. For example, my own technical instruction (CAD) videos are watched in 130 different countries and all US states. I typically get the most viewers from India, and a lot of interest from Europe, Mexico, and Turkey, and a surprising amount of interest in countries like Vietnam and Thailand. But on my (one) flight video, viewers are mainly from Ohio and California. Do developing countries have a thirst for technical knowledge, but little time or resources to pursue hobbies?
Youtube provides some great analytic tools to the video owner, and a study of this data can provide insight into understanding people. I would love to see a study of the global impact of FT.
