I’ve always wanted IF to stop or limit their expenses and time spent on travelling and reviewing different airlines, business classes etc and rather focus on development of their simulator.
Do you watch and enjoy the content or would you rather see them stick to developing the game and expanding their team for example?
Welcome back!
They can use the income generated from these YouTube videos to then make further YouTube content - I personally like these sorts of videos.
Regarding development, they’ve recently expanded their team in an effort to speed up development of aircraft, etc.. - see here - read the entry about the Piper Archer.
I don’t watch them religiously, but once in a while I might finally check out that one video that was featured on the infinite flight app home screen.
The videos I do click on quickly are definitely anything related to the app.
I honestly don’t think the content creation delays development because they are different sectors of the company.
Welcome back!
I actually do watch and find their videos interesting but if you don’t than that’s fine
As for updates, Dan (the one who makes most of the videos) isn’t an actual developer and instead his job is community engagement so he’s always keeping the community active with events and YouTube videos
I’m not too sure what the other staff do but Dan doesn’t do anything development related
I can think of a couple counterarguments to this.
For one, they can make a fair amount of money off the content they create. They have 200,000 + subscribers on YouTube, plus thousands of others of followers on other platforms like TikTok and Instagram, and the revenue adds up.
Secondly, it’s great advertising. Brand exposure is incredibly important, and making unique social media content is an effective way to do that. Infinite Flight doesn’t have billboards or TV ads, so their primary form of getting the word out about the company (and in turn getting paying customers) is social media.
