"Quality videos"

So I've been posting a lot of topics lately, and I'm sorry for the topic "spamming", but I have quite a few questions that tend to pop up randomly.

This one is about making quality videos...it's something I see a lot here on the forum say you should focus on, and I agree, but it makes me wonder what exactly a "quality video" is and how you know wheter you're videos are "quality videos" or not.
Personally I have no clue.

To me when I hear it, I mainly think technical quality...like the sound being clear, picture being clear etc.
I spend quite a lot of time going over my videos when editing, removing sounds and noises that I figure would annoy people watching the video (like when I blow air into the mic etc).

But I know it's also about the content of the video, I just have a hard time figuring out if it's quality content or not...especially since I'm not getting a lot of feedback on my videos (other than not having an intro ^^), which makes it difficult to know if I'm on the right track or what I should change.

Any thoughts?
(the reason I keep asking all these weird questions is because I wanna do the best job I possibly can)
 
I think the best measure of "quality" (beyond the technical aspects you mentioned) is, to me, whether I'd watch the video myself if someone else made it. I think that's pretty much the only thing I can verify. Sure, there may be other things you can use, but honestly, I think that if I'm making something and I think someone will like it, but I'm not that interested in watching it? It's not up to my level of "quality."
 
I always make videos with the better quality picture as well as clear sound. Apart from that I remove those noisy parts which may hurt the viewers, sometimes I swear a lot, I remove those words from my audio file. I always make sure that whatever I speak in the video should be clear and entertaining and it shouldn't hurt anyone :)
So I call this method making a QUALITY VIDEO.

Technical quality is always a plus, but the content itself should be high quality. In other words, something that people will want to watch if they see the title because it sounds interesting. If you watch the trending videos, a lot of them are shot vertically so they have black bars. BUT the content of the video is interesting enough for people to want to watch. For example, my most viewed video is 240P and shot vertically, but it's something that most people never get to see from this close. Just the title alone probably makes people click this video.
 
quality is ofc the sound quality..video quality..lighting etc.But the other tihng about quality is if YOU like the content you upload and would watch it. Thats the key to succes. If you always upload only what you would watch too, you can be sure that your subscribers will like almost everything of what you upload in the future as long as you only upload what you like :)

That's the way I look at it too. You have to learn how to avoid being subjective and view the video without having your own personal emotions clouding your judgment. A lot of people will like what they made just because it's theirs, but other people will not have the emotional attachment to the video.
 
If your content isn't up to much then you could have the best camera in the universe, and the best microphone, but it wouldn't do you any good. It's something that keeps a lot of us up at night to be honest. I certainly haven't got it down.
 
Sadly, I'm not able to look at my videos and be subjective or realistic regarding wheter or not they're of good quality as I tend to always judge everything I do too harshly...which is why I tried to get a third parties perspective ^^
