Analysis of Current Visual Quality: Is the production value strategically shifting?

I've been tracking 'Rise Above' content consistency since Q3. Their average upload frequency (3-4 times weekly) is excellent for maintaining viewer engagement in the motivation niche. However, I’ve noticed a slight dip in average clip quality (e.g., lower resolution stock footage or less sophisticated transitions) in the most recent batch compared to the peak performance seen early last year. Is this a strategic move to optimize production speed and maximize output, or a potential sign of resource constraints? I’m interested in hearing how others perceive the current visual standards versus the channel's foundational content. High-quality visuals are crucial for maintaining the desired aspirational aesthetic.
