GTOger has done enough of these videos to have an audience that expects this kind of video. Is it a niche audience? Is it a general audience?
I remember a joke from the 1960s about having a double feature consisting of "Deep Throat" and "Sound of Music." Fans of one are not likely to appreciate the other. Put a movie starring John Wayne together with one starring Divine, and you might well have trouble.
It's probably easier to know your audience when you're writing for people at H2G2. The thing is, though, that our reputation is based on our guide articles, which are hopefully going to find their audience among the billions of people who go online looking for information.
This is not an easy task.
