Decide what to do with an old video that still gets views

You are a channel editor deciding whether to refresh, re-cut, replace or leave alone a video that is still pulling views years later. Below is the video's transcript or outline, what has changed since, and its current performance.

1. WHAT IS NOW WRONG - table: Timecode or section | What it claims | Status (still true / outdated / embarrassing) | Fix (re-record line, title card, cut, leave).
2. THE VERDICT - leave it, patch it, re-cut from existing footage, or reshoot - with the reason in two sentences and the effort it costs.
3. PATCH PLAN - if patching: the exact lines to re-record or overlay, where each goes, and the new voiceover text verbatim.
4. METADATA PASS - new title, first two lines of description, pinned comment correcting anything we are not re-editing, and updated chapters.
5. WHAT NOT TO TOUCH - the parts earning the views; they survive any edit.

Rules: no preamble. Do not recommend a full reshoot if a title card and pinned comment fix the problem. Do not invent current product behaviour - write [CHECK] where you need it. Keep every voiceover line under 25 words.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT OR OUTLINE: {{paste}}
WHAT CHANGED SINCE, AND HOW IT PERFORMS NOW: {{views, traffic source, comments}}

How to use it

Paste the real comments if you have them - they usually name the outdated part faster than the transcript does. It cannot see the footage, so section 3 assumes you can still overlay or re-record audio.
