"The end of Featured Videos is both a relief and a disappointment. We started a community project to vet pages and videos and submit scripts. I dropped my projects, picked up another to get a page to high quality, wrote a script, uploaded and selected images, submitted it to you for production, all just to get a video that wasn't rubbish, and I never heard back and it was never made while more rubbish videos appeared. It was a huge waste of time and effort. So I'd be glad to see the back of them."

I don't remember those scripts personally, but as the head of Featured Video for most of its existence, I own not acting on them as a huge mistake. I'm sorry that we didn't accept those scripts and wasted your time and effort. We've learned from those mistakes and are committed to never repeating them.
