Henrik! lolno he's probably not gonna pick a little kid to be in a cubing world big channel video
Aren't you the same age as Drew Brads? I think he is at least being considered for pyraminx, although I have no clue.
Are the other videos so long/"newb" friendly? This is a how to get fast series, I stopped watching Ranzha's because it's very beginner oriented. Even from 9:17 onwards...
I think that it's hard for these videos not to be mostly "newb" friendly because an advanced cuber usually knows how to get fast. These videos are not so much for extremely specific tips/tricks/techniques, but for explaining the general progression that one can take with an event
I'm not trying to sound arrogant but as an example, I started averaging sub 10 at Skewb a couple of days after it became official, yet I've since seen people doing thousands of solves sup10

Overall I can understand where you're coming from but I disagree with this part. I feel there are certain speeds that you won't get much faster at for each puzzle without a change in practise. I'm probably quite a lazy practicer, or a very efficient one, depending on your point of view. When I'm getting into a new event, I rarely just solve. I constantly evaluate "what is x doing better than me". On my Pyraminx binge a couple of months ago, I rarely did more than 15 minutes of solving in a day (50 solves). Yet I got from 6s average to low 4 very quickly. I've seen other people do several hundred a day and take months to average that fast. What I did differently to most was constant changes in how I practised. First, I saw a video by Odder. He said using one flip he always predicts "this much" at least. I then did lots of untimed solves so I could do the same. I got faster then watched lots of fast people. I saw many did tips whilst recognizing a certain step. Again, I got faster.
If I had no internet it would've taken far longer to go from 6.xy to my official 3.74 average. I reached the top 100 by just practicing. I then went from "good" to "top 10" by learning indirectly how to practise thanks to faster people.
I don't think people NEED a video from slow->decent. That can be achieved by just practising with no guidance. But decent->world class? That's where HOW you practise really comes into it.
Which is why I feel like the majority of each video should be advanced, not a small section.
My only source for this is the fact I seem to get to a competitive speed much faster than a lot of other people. Overall I've been cubing since 2009. But when I care about an event I seem to go from bad to x in a couple hundred solves whilst others take far longer. I'm not trying to sound arrogant but as an example, I started averaging sub 10 at Skewb a couple of days after it became official, yet I've since seen people doing thousands of solves sup10
Season 5 in particular will have a good number of pyra videos, so perhaps you will find what you are looking for there.
Didn't you say that you already did lots of Skewb before it was decided to become official.
I seem to be quite the opposite from you. I just get lazy to learn stuff and analyze, so I just do a ton of solves.
