This is it, my 200th video. Back in middle of December I figured out that if I posted a video everyday for the rest of 2008, and missed no more than 5 days, I would reach 200 videos by 2009. I announced my goal and added in a goal of reaching 250 subscribers as well. I reached 250 last week.
So, the good news, I met both my goals by the end of the year.
The bad news, I have been really starting to feel like I am expending a lot of time and energy on YouTube for very little in return. I am not looking to be a partner, and I am not looking to get paid. I guess I just want a bit of recognition for how hard I have been working. I certainly appreciate those of you who comment and watch regularly, but I feel like YouTube is doing a lot to discourage those of us who are not already partners from continuing to do this. The way I am feeling about this I will probably do a vlog describing in greater detail why I think this, but the short answer is that they keep “changing the rules.” I am not talking about policies like about “cussing.” I am talking about the fact that they make changes without announcement. There is suddenly a limit on how long the description can be. Videos posted default to not accept video comments. The new upload system doesn’t save my descriptions half the time, which has a great effect on your video going into “rotation.” Whatever.
So the point is that I am not really all that happy with this video. I think it needs to be trimmed down a bit, part need to be cut out where I stumble over my words, in one part I say “country” when I meant world… blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I am posting anyway, because I am giving too much time to YouTube and this video is “good enough.” Sure, I could spend another half hour or so making it better… but why, so it can get 20 views? I’ve spent time enough on it.
So, goal intact, don’t expect me to post as many videos in the New Year. I really do have better things to do with my time. This is not a serious medium. Look at the videos with the top views, and then read the comments. No substance. Half the time the comments don’t even have anything to do with the video or anything else. This whole thing is one giant joke.
