<aside> 💡 [Tutorial Block] This page explains everything involved in publishing a Thomas Frank video to YouTube. It has been included here as an example of what you could create for your own Knowledge Base.

We are currently experimenting with using YouTube's chapters feature to add timestamps to certain types of videos.
Currently, we're not using them for essay-style videos.
To use them, simply add timestamps in 00:00 format in the description. Important: The first timestamp should start at 00:00 (this makes the feature work) and be labeled "Introduction".
Make label descriptive, but also curiosity-inducing.
Create a pinned comment that guides people to key information and encourages more interaction.

🧐 This is a bit of an experimental video topic for me - let me know if you enjoyed it, what I should explain more thoroughly, and what else you'd like me to cover!
