Honestly, I don’t understand why it works like this
Have you seen those new educational videos on the Polkadot YT channel?
Bros, this is really low-effort stuff:
- plain screencasts with 💩 visual effects in 2026
- no VFX, no voiceover, no AI, no 3d graphics, no sound design, literally nothing
- every video adds zero value, they’re just worse copies of what’s already been done. We already have proper Nova Wallet guides from Leemo and others
While watching, I felt that unmistakable spirit of Kaito farmers producing tons of mediocrity in hopes of looting some points
But this isn’t Kaito, this is the official Polkadot account
And those aren’t yappers, those are hired, accountable workers
Hard to imagine the level of cynicism behind posting these videos right after Polkadot carried out its global ‘optimization’ to eliminate inefficiency
I thought we started fighting with the mindset of “let’s make at least something, no one gives a fuck anyway”
So it doesn’t make sense to me whatsoever
The most disappointing part is that I contacted W3F more than a month ago, raised my concerns, pointed out that such content is inappropriate for the official account, and offered my help because I’m pretty sure I can do it way better
Result?
Five weeks without an answer, and the videos are still being released
What should I do to finally make something change?
This is not the Second Age of Polkadot I want to see
This year, at the PBA Bali 2025 graduation ceremony, Dr. Gavin Wood ( @gavofyork) delivered a warm speech to all graduates. It was one of his most inspiring speech yet!
Before sharing his insights on building for the future, he told a moment from the closing night when he tried to DJ, borrowed an iPad, and could not complete a simple in app purchase because his credit card stopped working 🎧💳
That small inconvenience became a lesson on friction, user experience, and why builders must create tools that genuinely support people.
How does that story connect to on-ramping, integration, and the role of every agent in the Polkadot ecosystem?
Watch his full speech here 🎥👇

2025 has been an extraordinary year for the Polkadot Blockchain Academy. 🏆
Across continents and cultures, from Bali to Buenos Aires, PBA brought together students, builders, educators, institutions, and public stakeholders to strengthen one of the most important layers of decentralised infrastructure: the human layer.
This year was about learning, dialogue, and long-term thinking. About building shared understanding and trust around decentralised systems and their real-world role.🧑💻
We are deeply grateful to every partner, community, educator, student, and contributor who made this journey possible, and are excited to grateful to continue creating great things in 2026!
Take a moment to revisit the milestones that made our 2025 memorable 👇 🌍
