I think there's an interesting discussion (for those interested) here. FWIW the social media stuff that your fellas Palfrey and Bratt (and any other team they have around them), is as good as I've seen in L1/2, certainly better than what my lot produce in that respect.You see, it's this sort of thinking that is very village fete. It costs money to improve your product and grow your business. I wasn't part of the thought process but from the outside I can guess that the people in charge at Argyle believe in the power of branding and have invested the time and capital to take them up a level.
Look at their site and their offering: https://www.pafc.co.uk/argyle-tv ...they've invested properly in their website, their front of house.
Argyle obviously understand that to get ahead, rather than keep pace - is to embrace streaming etc, brand it as their own and look to engage people (kids in particular) who are looking at a screen for a lot of their day. City understand that too and the videos Scott and team produce punch massively above their weight but this is next level stuff in terms of how it's distributed and presented. I can tell you now from experience that the engagement on their website will be far higher in terms of time spent looking around than ours.
I think (but happy to be corrected) that much of Argyle's social media content is behind a paywall?
Genuinely interested as someone, I think, some years (but not massively) older than you; as to whether you think there's a viable market for the non iFollow (or equivalent) stuff on subscription at L1/2 level; and whether it's better for clubs to make stuff free but lose potential revenue, in the interest of a wider audience - perhaps the nature of the club comes in to iut?
One of those things I've no fixed opinion on - but interested to hear yours as it seems like the sort of thing you'd know a bit about.
