I Love YTtalk
Yeah. I get that feeling that in their minds these people think that somewhere out there, there is some set of rules about what is the "Right way" to create a youtube video, and if you don't follow this pattern, you have broken these Cardinal rules and should hang you head in shame and apologies to them for existing. It really is laughable, considering the absolute absurdity of some highly successful channels on youtube. Me personally, I could care less. I am not claiming to be something I am not. My channel is about me. You either like me or not. I am generally a nice guy and treat others with respect. I never pretend in my videos to be something I am not. And one thing I am not, is a person who is trying to live up to someone else's youtube standards.
I do welcome constructive criticism, but the snarky comments I have been getting lately, just seem like people venting frustration. All I have done in response to these comments is to remind them that there is a slider bar at the bottom of the video which allows them to jump to any point in the video instantly. I know I use it all the time to get the part interest me. It just confuses me why these people that think themselves so well versed in youtube technology that they can critique videos, but are completely ignorant of this very useful basic feature of the youtube video player. LOL!
That is exactly it. They see the big youtubers and try to hold all videos to that quality now. Thing is, my camera was pretty expensive, but I'll be a looooooong ways off from affording to be able to make the kind of live recordings the big guys can make. I can't really let that stop me and some people just don't think about that. On top of that, I don't really present my stuff as anything more than trash, so high expectations are solely on any viewers that are coming in with them. And people don't realize that you have to start from somewhere. I've been laughed at for low view counts as well, but it's not easy to get exposure and it gets harder every year.
