vloggers, Here are my vlog pet peeves. (don't listen to me though)

in #vlog8 years ago

First and foremost I don't watch vlogs very often because I read faster than we speak.  Do not change your ways for me.  Here are the reasons I don't like watching vlogs.

Pet Peeves in order...

If you have the ability to control your environment:

  1.  Wind, seriously why would I want to hear wind blowing into your mic?  I will tune in for that right after I listen to nails on a chalkboard.  
  2. Background noise, Why go stand near traffic and loud things while you tell me something you think is important enough you placed it on the Internet?  
  3. Camera angle, I do not want to view your nose hairs.  Please angle from the top down.  I would rather see your funky hairline than your nose hairs and double chin.  
  4. Driving your car,  I have co-dependent anxiety the whole time.  I don't want to watch you crash because you were trying make a certain face for the camera as you were driving.  
  5.  Why do you go to a strange location, for instance if you are telling me about crypto? Do it from your office, rather than by a tree on the beach.  
  6. You may think your long introduction video is interesting, but if I have seen it once before, it is now a commercial I would rather skip it.
  7. Jerky swinging camera motion.  I get dizzy.  Please stop..


To be clear this post was written in fun by someone who doesn't vlog and rarely watches vlogs, don't take me too seriously.  :)

I prefer written articles as well, at least when I am on Steemit. They are often way better summarized, too.

My blog is a collection of answers people don’t want to hear to questions they didn’t ask. :D

I love that! :)

hahah wind and noise are the reasons lolz watch the professional ones they use microphone :D

I don't vlog. I prefer to be a short story writer with plenty misspells but plenty of photos to make up for originality. Aloha @ whatsup!


Should I every do a Vlog, I will keep these tips in mind. Great that you let everybody know about these Vlog faux pas. I especially enjoyed:

Camera angle, I do not want to view your nose hairs. Please angle from the top down. I would rather see your funky hairline than your nose hairs and double chin.

Now that is funny.

Have a great week, and thanks for the advice!

@whatsup - Oh my goodness, ma'm you read me. All points you written here are 100% correct. I feel weird by watching most of them Ma'm :'( Lovely job you did ma'm.

I feel the same way about vlogs. You can almost always find something better to watch on YouTube so why would I want to watch you go to the beach or drive around in your car or go to the grocery store? To me steemit is one giant ever changing book and I would love to keep it that way instead of being a bunch of series of little videos but I guess it takes all kinds.

@whatsup,
Actually I had same feeling about vlogs and hate to watch them :D
"Why do you go to a strange location, for instance if you are telling me about crypto? Do it from your office, rather than by a tree on the beach. "
This is absolutely correct!
Most important thing is data usage! Data is one of the precious thing for me! So, vlogs just waste them massively! So, hate to see long videos and better write your feelings in a short form!
Great article! Thanks for sharing with us!

Cheers~

Ha ha.. very funny and totally agreed @whatsup..😀
I'm grateful in your effort and thank you for sharing.. keep it up.. upvoted and cheers..

This is my favorite :

Camera angle, I do not want to view your nose hairs. Please angle from the top down. I would rather see your funky hairline than your nose hairs and double chin.

I kind of never watch them, the speed reading thing and expensive internet in SA. But you have opened up a whole new world to me now....🤔😜
