In August, for the Summer of Math Exposition 3 competition, I made a video called "is 69 unique?!? the search for nice numbers (mathematically)", which was the culmination of an investigation spanning blog posts and Manifold markets. Unfortunately, due to procrastinating the video, I didn't have a chance to listen to the final version, and the audio quality got wrecked during the export โ I think it's unlistenable, even though it sounded sort of okay when played locally on my computer. However, the video ultimately reached 28,000+ views, and commenters said the content was really good even though the audio quality was terrible.
I've been meaning to redo the video for a long time, since I think it could have the potential to reach an even broader audience. I don't think it would actually be that hard; I'd mainly want to redo the beginning to be tighter, make a few changes to the rest, and triple-check the audio quality before publishing. All of this seems doable in a few hours to a day when I find the energy (and in theory I should have more...). But who knows, maybe it'll take longer, or I'll feel the urge to make more structural changes like fully scripting it, or I will pursue other things in January...
General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.

Well, so here's the sitch. I have this video unlisted on YouTube, which is sort of the minimum-viable-product version, which removes the most auditorily-offensive parts and cleans up the beginning a bit. I think it would be better if I fully redo the script/voiceover, but it's unclear how long it will take me to do this. Should I publish now, knowing that I might be trying to roll out yet another version in the future, or should I sit on this until I have a version that I really think is the best I could do?
