I think it’s okay if you let a little bit of board culture seep into your videos but it doesn’t align with how you sound and it feels like you’re trying to hard. I think you should just focus on making quality videos instead of a certain type of videos.

thank you for the advice anon, really. I want to make more videos because the process was quite fun, but as you certainly noticed, I havn't figured out what niche/style clicks with me. If you could, what sort of video do you think my voice works with? This is something I've tried and failed to really pinpoint. The issue is I think I sound too serious, no matter what, but I don't want to make something very serious. I've made four videos total (2 deleted because I thought they were too edgy and would rather not have that public) each with a different sort of principle but none feel like they flow, if you know what I mean.

I don't mean to blogpost, but I wantgenuine criticism; my irl friends just say "haha, good and funny," and offer nothing beyond that, and I'd like to improve since I enjoy both this subject and the process of making a video.

If I made a dry humor book review channel where I get drunk and complain that nobody else can write as well as William Gaddis, would anybody actually watch it? I imagine I'd stay slightly more on-topic than Quentin because I would actually read the fucking books. Maybe I'd emulate sseth by never ever putting myself on camera
Every time I find anybody doing that kind of thing I just can't enjoy it because everyone else's opinions are retarded and they read worthless garbage

Personally, when I watch YouTube videos like this I’m trying to learn something. I’m not just trying to laugh, but there is a degree to which I want to laugh and I also want to feel like I “get” that person. If it were me, I would try to make well-edited, mostly serious videos, with drippings of board culture personality here and there but the thing is, if you’re too tactful about it, it won’t be genuine or authentic. Above all, it has to be genuine and authentic. There’s a channel called Pause and Select that does critical theory of media analyses of anime of all things. I’m actually not into that topic but the style of the videos, in my opinion, is great. So if I had to make a new channel, that’s who I would emulate but instead of joking critical theory master’s students jokes, board culture jokes. Another I think is really great is Hermitix even though that’s just a podcast. You probably can’t edit as well as he can but that’s okay I think. You should just make more videos playing around with your style and chances are you’ll find your natural style on your own. I think you just have to decide if you want a niche or wide appeal and go after whichever it is in an authentic way. If they’re quality and I get something out of them I can’t get elsewhere on YouTube, I’ll watch.

[Anonymous No.18799864]

>>18799358
Your point about authenticity is definitely well taken. My main issue is that such a thing conflicts with two other things, firstly I don't want to employ the sense of humor I really have because I'd rather not have anything remotely edgy attached to me in any way publicly. Secondly, it would be tough to be authentic and informative, since I am not a very serious person. Regardless, the reason I made a few videos in the first place was after reading a passage in Birth of Tragedy where nietzsche sort of digresses and makes what seems to be a comment on the study of philosophy and its accessibility. I found it interesting, and it is seemed like something most people could miss very easily, hence I thought making informative videos on those sorts of things would be beneficial to someone somewhere, the things that aren't the big ideas of these great thinkers but the small ones that can easily be missed. Then as I was making the videos my focus sort of evolved into try to make my IRL friends, who are my main audience, laugh. And while I definitely achieved that goal, it isn't, as you've pointed out, really conducive towards getting the interest of anyone here. Either way, I'll just keep having fun with it and see what is most natural for me. Thank you for all the advice anon :)
