RE: Are DTubeSnaps Killing Creativity, and Fostering A Seagull Mentality?
I'm not even going to read the rest of the comments I see below. I agree 100% with what you said.
I try and look at my video content in two phases. One does it video stand on its own without text for those that just want to watch video's and the second does the post stand on its own and does the video add value to the post so people want to watch it.
I think I do a pretty good job of it..... not always but pretty good. A snap is hard for me to do for the reasons you say......I have more than one minute of thoughts I want to get across.
My son told me he will watch up to a 6 minute video IF he finds the content something he finds interesting..... I try and keep that in mind too but I am and have always been known for going over and making long video's.... it's how I roll...though I have gotten better at editing so the longer videos are more enjoyable for people to watch.
I think video editing is highly underrated by many. PLus there are purist Vloggers out there that will say a vlog should not be edited.... I can understand both sides but I would much rather watch one that takes me on a story in an interesting way than not.
Thank YOU for making this video!!!!
Hi @snook, thanks for stopping by 😎
You are quite right, in that, at rhe end of the day, we ourselves, are our best audience, and critic.
Your son raises a valid point too. This generation does have a short attention span, rhis is due to the increased pace of our modern living, and I feel os a natural progressive response to this.
I remember back in rhe 90s, how exciti g it was to get home from work, turn rhe computer on, and discover that I had mail 😜 I dont think that will ever be the case again haha.
As such, we need to bear this in mind, when crearing content for this demographic. Occasionally, I do make a long video when I need to, but I do try and keep my general vlogs around the mentioned 6 min mark.
Peace.

It's so funny when you realize how far we have come with technology and how younger people just seem to know how to do stuff without directions LOLL I miss a book and REAL directions I can use as a reference.... I miss NOT having to google :D
but yes, I have fun making video's and posts and learning so as long as FUN is there.....I will be here plugging along :)
Let there be fun :)
Peace.
