No YouTube presence?

I just stumbled upon this game and, as expected, needed tutorials. I haven't found too many videos uploaded in the last 6 months.
Only ones I really found are some two years old, and apparently hopelessly outdated.

I'm wondering, has the developer forbid sharing video or audio of the game or wtf is going on?

One great disappointment was that Eegore from Eegore Vids had to pull out from a joint venture we were planning with him to get the Lets Play! Salem videos updated. This was quite sad as we feel that having a video tutorial of how to do things in Salem is invaluable. Shizuka has recently made 2 which were quite entertaining but I see no reason why there couldn't be a whole series from people who are into this. We consider solid Youtube Videos something that we will eventually have to do ourselves in the absence of the community doing them and would be quite grateful if somebody were to take up this activity.

I'd certainly make some if I were more proficient at it. The hardest thing would the the script. There are so many small details you have to mention, and if you don't, the video can make a wrong impression/make someone make a very serious mistake, and you'd have to redo the video (that's if you find the mistake).
I guess no serious (and nonserious) youtuber hasn't found salem attractive enough to record.

this game is based on grindy crafting... it just plain makes for bad boring videos.

So the answer literally is; nobody made any. A very curious one as any small YouTuber would jump on the first instance they recognized a game which has fee market on YouTube.

I would like to see a professional youtuber making video's about this game, I doubt something like that is going to happen any time soon. I am sad that Gamerzakh did not return to Salem, after all it was his first game.

Giving the fact that game machanics can flux massivly from month to month, untill game game is balanced and or released it would be pointless making tutorial viedos of any game feature because it could change.

Unless JC could make a soild statement saying XYZ will NOT CHANGE AT ALL, then i suppose you could then make a vid about that.
