On the contrary, the maintenance required for staff-created Featured Video was far more complicated than writing more. Once we decided to have such a large scale for Featured Video (we have about 10,000 videos on the site), it became near-impossible to maintain them. Setting aside quality issues, keeping a video regularly updated on characters in an ongoing TV series, for example, was impractical. So the end result was that we'd make a video on, say, Oliver Queen from Arrow mid-way through a season, and then that's how the video would remain&mdash;out of date by the next episode.

That's why, if the replacement is video-based, it can't just be a staff-created program like Featured Video was. Otherwise we'll just repeat the same problems over again.
