The Claynosaurz-Mediawan co-production will launch on YouTube first, then sell to TV and streaming buyers. This inverts the traditional risk model: YouTube launch proves audience metrics before traditional buyers commit, using the community's existing social reach (~1B views) as a guaranteed launch audience.

WHY ARCHIVED: Evidences the YouTube-first distribution model as operational (not theoretical) — community as marketing engine for platform-based distribution
EXTRACTION HINT: The key insight isn't the YouTube distribution per se but the COMMUNITY→ALGORITHM dynamic: pre-existing community creates launch traction that normally costs millions in marketing. This is a specific mechanism claim.
