    As a former YTer, I noticed that people don't really care about "production value" on a YT channel. As you know, content is king. As long as we can see clear video and crisp audio, the editing style doesn't matter.

    Regarding those travel videos from during the situation; yeah, there's definitely a lot of people who loved them. They gave people a vicarious experience while trapped at home. And for some, it was something to look forward to doing once we were all able to travel again.

      I agree they were awesome, but who was trapped? I loved them because they were Thailand and I was going through the immigration process with my wife. I rode my. Motorcycle in Southern California more than pre Covid. When I rode along the coast, there were so many people out. Far more than pre Covid. This idea that people were trapped in their homes, especially in California was a political narrative that just wasn’t true. It might have been true for the first week or two, but that shit changed quickly.
      For sure there was ridiculous things like scenic turnouts on twisty roads being blocked, or piers being closed. Also they closed parking lots at the beach, but people got around all that bs. Remember, fake news isn’t only from one political perspective. I hate political bs, but I have no problem pushing back on it.

    • @fastj1962
      @fastj1962 Před 25 dny +1

      I also traveled for work about 70% as normal. I remember my first trip to Texas from California thinking it was gonna be a Covid free for all. Wrong! The restrictions and guidelines were by far more strictly followed. On a work trip, every meal is eaten out. In California, my wife cooked 90% of our meals which is awesome, I love Thai food, but in Texas… they were serious. No wonder my Texas friends were so facebook vocal against Covid. If they had come to California they really would have hated us.

      I am 50 years old, and this may sound a little insensitive, but I have learned that women in the sense of relationships are only good for having kids and raising a family. Aside from that, they offer no value whatsoever because the experiences that men and women have are completely different. I would rather chug a couple of beers with good male friends. I do have two female friends that I meet up with from time to time for good bedroom fun, but we understand that it’s only for fun and nothing serious.

      I don’t understand. If people don’t like it here, leave. I choose to stay in the US because it’s the only country I’ve been to where I feel at home. Every other country I’ve been to has made me feel “uneasy”. It’s supposed to. It’s a completely different place, with completely different customs and people. This isn’t something unique to the US. If you don’t feel good here in the US, fair enough, time to leave then.
