Thoughts

The mayor invites me to the supervisory board for auditing projects on the embankment. This is a great opportunity to get access to information that others don't have and show it to my subscribers. This could be a big step towards my goal of 100,000 subscribers. But it also means responsibility and the need to be objective. On the other hand, I can continue my usual activity - investigations and covering events from my own point of view, looking for hype. It's worth considering what is more beneficial for my channel and reputation. Participation in the board gives legitimacy but limits freedom of action. Independent investigations give more freedom but may be perceived as one-sided. I need to clarify the details about the audit and my role before making a final decision. I can also try to combine both approaches: accept the invitation but continue independent monitoring. Another option is to refuse and focus on other topics, for example, the market, which also needs attention.

Options

1. Accept the mayor's invitation to become an independent observer on the supervisory board for auditing embankment projects.
2. Decline the mayor's invitation and continue my own investigations and coverage of events on the embankment, focusing on getting exclusive content for the YouTube channel.
3. Propose to the mayor to expand my mandate on the board so that I can not only observe but also conduct my own journalistic investigations within the audit.

Choice. I choose the first option, as participation in the supervisory board gives me official status and access to information, which is key to my content and moving closer to my goal.

Diary. Accepted the mayor's invitation to the supervisory board. This is a chance to get exclusive information for the channel. I need to figure out the details of the board's work.

A new round, and that means new opportunities for my channel. The topic of the coastal zone is at its peak, even "Chronicle 2046" is writing about it. The mayor, the bank, activists – everyone is involved. Roman Zinchenko with his "Dnipro Sky" is also here, trying to present himself in the best light, talking about the park and the IT hub. This is a great opportunity to get exclusive material. My goal is 100,000 subscribers, and topics like this attract attention. Therefore, it's worth concentrating on this. Larysa Ostapenko from "Vilnyi Bereh Bank" sets strict requirements for large projects. This is also interesting. Hryhorii Lytvyn is modernizing the plant, but is it really environmentally friendly? This is also a potential topic for investigation. I have connections with Oleh Koval, the editor-in-chief of "Chronicle 2046", and Sofiia Melnyk, an environmental activist. They can be my sources. I also have Roman Zinchenko, with whom I have a neutral relationship, and Mykola Danylchenko, with whom we are on good terms. It's worth trying to meet with one of them to get their version of events. Perhaps it's worth ordering some research or analytics from someone to strengthen my materials. Or just shoot a series of videos with different...

Options

1. Meet with Roman Zinchenko to discuss his "Dnipro Sky" project and the park on Mytnytsia.
2. Meet with Sofiia Melnyk to learn more about the public audit of coastal areas and her position on "Dnipro Sky".
3. Contact Oleh Koval, editor-in-chief of "Chronicle 2046", to get exclusive information on land issues and project audits.
4. Send a request for public information regarding construction permits in the coastal zone.

Choice. I choose to meet with Roman Zinchenko. He is a key figure in the "Dnipro Sky" and park on Mytnytsia story, and his comments can form the basis of my next video. Moreover, it can give me exclusive material that will attract attention to my channel.

Statement: «Friends, Cherkasy residents! Our embankment is the heart of the city, and a real drama is unfolding around it right now. On one side – ambitious projects, on the other – the concerns of activists. I will personally delve into this story. The first results of my investigation – soon on the channel "Yaroslav Nechyporenko about Cherkasy"! Subscribe so you don't miss anything!»

Diary. The meeting with Zinchenko is my chance. The embankment topic is hot, and his vision, his answers to uncomfortable questions – that's what can take my channel to the next level. I need to be prepared for any of his statements and have counterarguments. I also need to monitor the reaction of "Vilnyi Bereh Bank" and activists – this could be the next step in the investigation...

The last turn was quite eventful, but I didn't manage to get the content I was hoping for. The "Campaign for a Moratorium on Coastal Development" program by "Green Embankment" and the petition are what can form the basis for a new investigation. I'm also interested in the "Pilot Independent Control Measurements (90 days)" that Mykola Danylchenko wrote about. This is a great opportunity to get exclusive data for my channel. His invitation to the commission is a chance to establish a connection and get interesting material. I need to take advantage of this opportunity. Mayor Yaroshenko talks about rules, and the opposition demands transparency. This is a classic conflict that is always interesting to viewers. Zinchenko is promoting his project again, but this time with an emphasis on ecology. I need to check how true this is. My goal is 100,000 subscribers, so I need to look for hype topics while remaining objective. Danylchenko's invitation is my first step to getting material from "Lytvyn-Khim".

Options

1. Meet with Mykola Danylchenko to discuss eco-monitoring.
2. Write to Sofiia Melnyk to learn more about the campaign for a moratorium on coastal development.
3. Try to arrange an interview with Roman Zinchenko about the "Dnipro Sky" project.
4. Write to Oleh Koval to discuss possible joint projects or get insights from the newspaper.

Choice. I choose to meet with Mykola Danylchenko because it is a direct contact that can provide exclusive information about the ecological situation at "Lytvyn-Khim", which is a relevant and hype topic for my channel.

Diary. Accepted Mykola Danylchenko's invitation to a meeting regarding the eco-monitoring of "Lytvyn-Khim". This is my chance to get exclusive material. I need to agree on a specific time and place. I hope this will be an interesting story for my channel.

The last turn was quite eventful, but the meeting with Zinchenko did not happen. This irritates me, as he is a key figure in many city processes, especially those related to construction and the embankment. His refusal to meet, especially after I actively promoted the 'Dnipro Sky' topic, looks like an attempt to avoid uncomfortable questions. I need to try again, but with a different approach. Perhaps it's worth involving someone who has more influence on him, or using his public activity to create my own content. I'm also interested in the situation with 'Lytvyn-Khim.' If there are indeed emission exceedances, it's a huge story for my channel. I need to somehow reach the trade union or find information from other sources. The 'Lytvyn-Khim' trade union and the city trade union association — that's Mykola Danylchenko. It's worth trying to contact him. Besides, eco-activist Sofia Melnyk is again emphasizing the problems with the embankment. Her position is always resonant, and that's good for my content. It's worth talking to her, maybe organizing a joint walk along the embankment for filming. The main thing now is content. I need...

Options

1. Try to organize a meeting with Roman Zinchenko, insisting on discussing the problems of the 'Dnipro Sky' residential complex and the future of the embankment.
2. Contact Mykola Danylchenko, head of the 'Lytvyn-Khim' trade union, to find out details about possible emission exceedances at the plant.
3. Organize a joint broadcast or live stream with Sofia Melnyk on the embankment to discuss the city's environmental problems.
4. Do nothing this turn, let events unfold on their own.

Choice. I choose options 1 and 2, as they offer the greatest potential for content creation and increasing my influence. The topic of the 'Dnipro Sky' residential complex and the potential scandal at 'Lytvyn-Khim' are extremely interesting to my subscribers.

Diary. Today, I decided to step up my work. I want to try again to arrange a meeting with Zinchenko, this time emphasizing his new project 'Dnipro Gardens.' In parallel, I am contacting the 'Lytvyn-Khim' trade union, as the issue of emissions is pure hype and potential for investigation. I need to use all opportunities for channel growth.

Early 2026. Time to act. My goal is 100,000 subscribers. Currently, I have 55 reputation. I need to generate content that will be interesting to people and bring hype. The residential complex "Dnipro Sky" is the first major project that has already started gaining momentum. We need to continue to pressure the developer and the city authorities to get as much information as possible. I am also interested in new technologies that will appear soon – electric buses, solar power plants. These are potential topics for videos. The "Lytvyn-Khim" trade union and environmental activists are also topics that can explode. We need to find a balance between investigations, reports, and lighter content to retain the audience. I will start with meetings to gather more information.

Options

1. Meet with Roman Zinchenko regarding the residential complex "Dnipro Sky".
2. Meet with Sofiia Melnyk regarding the ecological situation and the embankment.
3. Send a request to Hryhorii Lytvyn regarding the situation at "Lytvyn-Khim".
4. Prepare a video about future technologies: electric buses and solar parks.

Choice. I choose to meet with Roman Zinchenko. The "Dnipro Sky" residential complex is an already started project that has attracted attention. We need to continue developing this topic to get exclusive information and generate hype.

Diary. 2026-10-10: The beginning of a new stage. Time for action. I'm starting with the "Dnipro Sky" residential complex. A meeting with Zinchenko is the first step. We need to get as much information as possible and show it to my viewers. Hype and hype.
