desperate measures for popularity

April 25th 2008 23:43
Nothing annoys me more than cheap ways to get views on youtube. From the stupid countless " free Ipod/Wii/ your bloody carcass -desperate ploy for attention on youtube to the pointless boob shots ( and the stupid titles to catch people's attention)
With the increasing popularity of youtube, comes much stricter competition. Viacom and other big companies actually hire people to " suscribe" to them non stop creating " bot" accounts. The quality has gone down since it's inception, but it's only because youtube is clogged with so much junk nowadays.
Another popular trick is to strategically place a shot of something people would click in the middle of your video and watch people get jinxed over it.

This doesn't cause longevitiy, and it's as stupid as the " click Here " websites but in the growing competetive world of video it might be way people resort to such desperate acts

2007 Youtube Awards (LINK)

March 18th 2008 23:10
Your text goes here
So the youtube awards are now up and of course there is the obligatory " Leave Britney Alone video" but there are also a couple of well deserving ones such as Human Tetris and Women in art through the ages"
Makes me realize how far things have come, and how much more talented people are two years on the road. However, I hope people don't cheat by finding a way to rate pages over and over, it has happened before, on the internet there are no rules and people play really dirty. Good luck catching them on that.

Where have all the vloggers gone?

March 12th 2008 22:50
I remember the first time I opened up YouTube. I looked at a video, watched it and was instantly entertained. But it wasn't the videos which kept me so entranced it was the cyber fights , the drama, and the overall community that came with the website.

In the beginning it was easier to get exposure, people could get clicks by continually refreshing pages and going into their websites. And some just got famous just because. There was Nornna, a slightly handicapped girl who vlogged about nothing. And then there was a group of people who were watching ____ ( insert vlogger name here) watching ____ watching Nornna
