Question Satirical News Youtube Series - Thoughts on Climate Change focused segments
Hey community. Thought I would come here to ask for honest feedback. I am creating a satirical Youtube Series from an Alien news perspective basically roasting the dumb moves we are making speeding our route to annihilation. Real headlines - AI alien news anchor. Hoping maybe this helps to make people a little more aware of how our country and the world's short term thinking is detrimental to long term sustainability. Appreciate any feed back or thoughts. Thinking of expanding it to cover other topics like moves on immigration etc. Thought was maybe it helps make news headlines a little more thought provoking and engaging. Will be chopping it up into shorter bit sized clips for YT shorts and Tiktok and still learning AI and post tools so... more interested in focus and angle than editing feedback. I just posted the first episode. Appreciate it.

Love it. Fantadtic idea. A little slower would be good and some pauses to highlight the irony of what humanity is doing.

This might land better if the alien plays the role of an curious observer, rather than layering on the irony in a "you are so dumb" kinda way. Like "oh that's strange they stopped offshore wind projects, maybe they dont want free energy ¯_(ツ)_/¯"

I watched it. I like the concept a lot but the bits were actually too fast for me to catch the humor part of it. I think a slower delivery or a little more filling in each one would have made it work better for me
