You know you can watch them anytime you want, right? You don't have to watch them all at once.
I personally don't think this is a good way to try and grow the YouTube channel, it will most likely work against you.
That seems to be your point: that you personally disagree with Paizo's marketing department on the best way to market their product.
You're entitled to your opinion, which may, indeed, be based on a professional background and more than 10 years experience in marketing a tabletop role playing game. You may have more expertise than all of the Paizo staff and owners put together.
Or maybe not.

To be fair - many of the Gencon panels are time sensitive/dependent data. Several of the videos include 'preview' data for the Inner Sea World Guide, if its already out before those videos hit, that part is less useful.
I think the 25 hours should be weekly amount of content because I listen to podcasts/audiobooks a lot quicker than I read with 2-4 hours of commuting a day ...

I agree with you, it's just my opinion.
If Paizo released 29 hardback books on the same day and then nothing for a year, I would suggest that it's bad marketing. I suspect that Paizo's marketing department might agree with that, after all, they are an experienced publisher and know how to sell books.
I'm not sure the same marketing department deals with the release schedule of YouTube videos. I'm also not so sure they are as experienced in this field as they are in the field of publishing RPG books.
But that's just my opinion. I offered some constructive criticism, take that for what it's worth :)
They're not releasing 29 at once and then nothing for a year though. They release Oblivion Oath every week, they also will continue to release Starfinder Wednesday and Pathfinder Friday content weekly since those shows are back, and there will be more content at other cons as well.

Back in my day you actually had to go to Gencon to experience the seminars.... xD
With that said, It is pretty awesome of Know Direction and Paizo to put the resources in recording these and making them available to the public. The fact they uploaded them all at the same time is a non-issue.

It’s good to have them released like that. I was watching the multi-session ones on twitch but after they added in the advertising it always resets to the beginning and I have to figure if I was 5 hours in or just 4. I don’t know if that’s a general problem or just an iPad problem.
If it was entirely new content, like their other stuff, then, yes releasing it all at once would be bad marketing. These were broadcast seminar events and choose which order to watch them in a timely manner.

Well, this thread proves people will complain about anything.
I categorically disagree with the OP.
Paizo, please release as much content as you like.
For those of us who have never been on the Paizo Twitch or YouTube channels what do you all recommend as a starting point for fine viewing?

Depends on what you'd like to watch. If you want an actual play campaign, Oblivion Oath is great. If you want Pathfinder stuff, pick a Pathfinder Friday with a topic that interests you. If you like Starfinder stuff, pick a Starfinder Wednesday. For Convention panels, I love the Secrets of Golarion panels the most.
Oblivion Oath: home campaign or AP?

Oblivion Oath: home campaign or AP?
Jason Bulmahn DMing four Paizo staffmembers (with a little bit of cast rotation).
It’s not an AP. There have been mutterings about eventually releasing some version of it down the track, but it’s not an available adventure at this stage.

Sounds fun! 1E or 2E?
Thanks!
If you look over the twitch page there’s quite a bit of PF1 and Starfinder content, if you prefer. Paizo have “moved on” officially, as far as I can see, but they’re still happy to host some ongoing PF1 campaigns.

OP, they are employees, they all have their jobs to do. As others have stated, the information was time-sensitive, or at least some of it. Just guessing here, but they all have their roles to fulfill at their job. They can’t tailor their online imprint to everyone’s needs or wants. Just try to look at things from both sides. To me, it sounds as if you enjoy to watch or listen to their products at your own leisure. There is nothing wrong with that. However, others devour Paizo’s content so quickly, that the company can’t put them out fast enough. Just take your time, enjoy them at your leisure. Remember, while this may be the age of instant gratification, there are much more people than just us out there. Happy Gaming!
