CPauloF Joga has published 4/5 films of his adventures in Oolite on YouTube:
Um Matemaniaco no Oolite

I am not, and have never been, a great game player.
On this channel I upload recordings I made while playing.
Here, you will not watch perfection. You'll even watch some pretty bad nonsense...
This is a channel with no other intention other than memories and entertainment.

Looking at his films, I wonder if he has been frustrated and has given up?
He seems to have issues with trading: he never checks the F7 screen and just jumps to wherever takes his fancy with what is cheap locally - and he seems to evince a prediliction for buying gold/platinum/gems at station prices presumably hoping to sell them at a good profit (and never does).
Can some kind soul with a YouTube account possibly explain the facts of oolite trading to him on his YouTube channel?

Mr Gimlet possibly too "British" in idiom & nuance (and also in his game download)
OoliteRS (in his game download)
F7 screen (data on "system") (wiki page)

Looking at the age of the videos, it looks like a posting evey week with one due tomorrow.
You could be right of course (and I haven't watched the videos) but a bit early to worry on that score I think.
Maybe there will be an increase in views after your discovery, perhaps even increasing motivation to make more?

Well, I watched three of them. It's always interesting to see something Oolite-related on youtube.

Speaking of Oolite on YT, a few days ago I got this in my feed:

I enjoyed the action parts quite a bit.

Did you see his linked lengthy Essay on Oolite? He is very complimentary.

I have about 500 hours in Oolite so I thought I should show a little bit of it off, since I recently upgraded to the latest v1.91 build. So here is Commander DarkenedRoom in his Wolf Mk II the 'Elegant Reprisal'.
This is a courier run delivering coded documents across 8 or so star systems. There's a bit of combat, including a Griff Boa Prototype, a little trading, a little rescuing, a little fuel scooping from a star, a little bit of automated and manual docking and finally we make our delivery.
Despite having 500 hours, I am a bit rusty and had to remap all the joystick controls and also had to try and remember how the primable equipment and military grade targeting works.
Written a quick primer as to why I think this is a bit of a revolutionary space sim, even today!
