It would seem that many YouTubers spend the bulk of their time creating videos and watching a key set of other people's videos. Perhaps they use Twitter and Skype behind the scenes. But if you have things to do in real life and miss a few moments, a drama or two might unfold in your absence. And good luck trying to figure out what it's all about. It's like the community has collectively turned a page and are now in a private club with inside jokes.
I don't have any actual videos yet that would let others in that community have a better idea of where I am coming from. All I have posted so far are just archives of Google Hangouts livestreams. I do hope to correct that in the near future.
I figure I can do recordings of myself reacting to the weekly news as I read through it. The format is probably overdone, but I suspect it is a useful thing to do since everyone reacts to different stories and the way they process that information will always be slightly unique.
But I also intend to do some camera work of natural scenes where I talk as a monologue in the background. These sorts of videos would be more rare since they'd have to be at least lightly scripted. I think this could also serve a useful function, as it gives us a chance to vent our personal frustrations as we cope with our experiences.
Participating regularly in YouTube is almost intrinsically a dramatic affair. That is not so appealing to me now as it once was. Some of my own interest has been in learning how to cope with SJW's, and I am trying to distance myself from that whole range of issues, It just gets so boring after a while. But I do understand why those issues spin people up and they end up talking about them endlessly. It just seems to me like YouTubers are utilizing the medium to engage in some version of a group therapy, hence why I named my own hangout after that impression.
I will probably be changing my schedule for my Group Therapy livestream, since Fridays are too busy in real life.
