      She’s not really on keeping up and isn’t a executive producer she had life of Kylie which flopped and she introduced by telling her viewers “this is a television, it’s like a big phone”. I think she thinks of herself as more of a social star because her time on keeping up has been limited since she was 18.

      @billbo_baggins8670 Před 4 lety +87

      I was just thinking that too! It’s a genius idea. We’re literally seeing things from the camera mans point of view and you fell somehow connected to them as well because they are also just a person watching and reacting to what’s going on. It’s also makes it seem less like a production because instead of two people being filmed by an anonymous camera man like traditional media where even in reality shows the filming part is ignored, they act like the cameras aren’t there, but by acknowledging the camera man and having them contributing to the content itself it becomes more like 3 people filming themselves. I think it was a recent Saturday night live episode where the cast broke character and all started laughing and they cut to a camera man who was also laughing which you never see on television and then they cut to his camera view and it was shaking because of his laughing. I don’t know why but I just loved it! Probably for the same reason we love Andrew it makes it feel more real.

      @hollyd1392 Před 4 lety +119

      This has already somewhat happened. I remember a few years back management corporations were offering to "sign" certain channels to their "label" of sorts. Basically the result was they would offer to advertise the channel, increase views and subscribers, etc. but take a percentage of the ad revenue and all future videos would be their property as opposed to the creator actually creating them. There might be a different title for what I'm trying to describe, but I remember watching CZcamsrs in the beauty community talk about it. P.s. I love your channel/content Kristen.

      Marina Vilela Right?? And it would be cool if the platform also featured unique channel templates for each channel (like a website like Squarespace would) making channels stand out from one another. Maybe it would even feature a blog / instagram portion of it, as well as a Patreon-like aspect where people can subscribe to creators who have classes or extras. I can see this downfall of CZcams as a major opportunity for someone who wants to seize the opportunity of making individuals matter again. Because the YOU portion of youtube’s fatal end is near, whether we like it or not.

    • @BothHands1
      @BothHands1 Před 4 lety +67

      It's all lobbying from mainstream media. They're in their death throes, and spending billions on trying to kill youtube or take over it. Millennials and Gen Zers don't watch cable anymore, i haven't had cable in my house in 8 years. If they don't get us addicted to their content like our parents and their parents, all the power they've accumulated over time will be stripped from them.
      Even the recent FCC decision to move all content that's kid friendly to youtube kids where there are no comments or ads or ability to earn money from your videos; big media is no doubt behind that decision, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on "convincing" those lawmakers to chip away at CZcams's dominance in whatever way possible.
      All that just makes me resent traditional media even more, and makes me far less likely to consume their content.
      Notable exception of course, is Melanie Martinez, whose movie was extremely authentic, and put out for a whole month for free with no ads. It really feels like youtube content, and not something you'd ever see on regular tv. I went and bought her movie just to support her for being so awesome

    • @stealthis
      @stealthis Před 4 lety +140

      This is a naive statement though. Naive because you don't realize the scale involved. Video upload services take a lot of bandwidth so the barrier to entry isn't obtainable by any regular company unless they are already a large multinational or invent truly game changing mechanisms to manage this (but content delivery platforms are already mature). And then you have to be able to police your own content unless you want a lot of copyright issues or other legal action taken against you, both of which will probably hurt your financial prospects in running the site in then long run. And then you have the fact that the more popular the state grows the more it attracts anybody and everybody and also is more bandwidth intense.
      The barrier to entry to compete with CZcams is the thing that is preventing others from competing with CZcams.

They are definitely corporate and orchestrated, but they do a great job being clear about who’s behind the camera and show people interacting with each other - making it seem very authentic. Still, an interesting dichotomy.

    I feel like the first CZcams channel that really showed a corporation trying to be relatable on social media was the creation lonelygirl15. I wouldn’t call them a corporation, but they were a production company. I remember everyone was so obsessed with Bree and liked how “quirky” and “relatable” she was and everyone believed that Bree was a real person. And then it came out that lonelygirl15 wasn’t a real person, but an actress. In 2019, it’s nothing new. But in 2007, that was such a big deal. I remember people were shocked.

      It's not capitalism, it's people running CZcams who have no idea what the fk they're doing and have absolutely no experience or credentials whatsoever running an entertainment company. Inexperienced people often think that the key is to simply push people who are already popular, without realizing that the popularity is transient and fades quickly and they must constantly be finding new people to keep it fresh. This is why experienced companies like professional sports have a draft every year and are always promoting new talent. The complete idiots running CZcams don't get that and have destroyed their own cultural relevance. They'll pay or it. They've been on a downward slide for years in terms of their trend ranking.

I’m okay with change and I actually enjoy the comedic-type quick shot to shot in the same sentence editing but i think the same popular “fast edited quick shot to shot; no long take” editing style is really becoming overbearing and “favored” with viewers and in the algorithm (10 minute videos are more to be seen than hour long ones) more and more taking over individuality and creativity from youtubers who don’t or didn’t care about editing.

    There's channels such as RyansToysReview which is basically embedded toy ads aimed at toddlers, which there has been controversy about. Also some anecdotes of videos that look like kids videos but spliced into the videos are violent and disturbing themes.
    And apart from the content of the videos themselves, what will be the effect on young kids of growing up with such accessible streaming content at their fingertips at all times? Is there any evidence that this is affecting them already? Is such an unregulated platform even safe for kids to be using, since compared to television where all the shows are screened, basically anyone can publish on CZcams and often the only monitor on the content is algorithms or other user reviews?

      LMG is trying with Floatplane, but it's much harder than it sounds. You have to bring your viewers over to the new platform, and if your viewers watch all their other content on youtube, they'll be unlikely to switch viewing platforms for one creator. You would need a coordinated mass migration to the new service. Aside from that, the entry cost is extremely prohibitive. Imagine how big the servers need to be to hold all the content on youtube. It would cost billions. CZcams's not going anywhere, and we're pretty much at their mercy.

      Yeah, they're just starting out and doing it as a passion project. I don't have an account either, tbh. It's mostly just tech youtubers for now anyway, but they need to slowly build up capital with their current loyal audience of techies, so they can grow their servers. It's probably not something that's going to be interesting or accessible to the general public for years, if ever. It just goes to show how hard it is to start a new platform like this. When you don't have 10 billion dollars to set up server farms all over the USA, you gotta start small with a dedicated and passionate audience who will help you raise capital, and donate/contribute.

      I hope it's soon. People be like, "I guess the current system's bad, but if we complain enough -- it'll magically get better."
      CZcams has a lot of areas where they need to up their ish, and, even though I understand why some people may think their complaints matter to massive corporations, moving away from the platform is the only assurance we have of changing something.
      We have no choice but to be complicit in the system for now (unless we go off the grid or watch cable, ugh), but supporting the people who are trying to make a new platform, with the aim of eventually moving to the new one is our best bet.

    Here’s the thing, i feel like the main CZcams audience, those of us that actually log into an account everyday or at least a few times a week and who are watching several hours of content each week (I personally watch videos like it’s my job) have little to no interest in the celebrity takeover. I have watched some talk show clips (love John Oliver!) but as far as personal celebrity channels? Pssshhh. Don’t care! The only one I’ve seen that might count is Steve-O. My point is, the people who are putting the most into supporting CZcams don’t give two shits if celebrities make videos.

      Why watch spill tho? Other than the production quality they have absolutely NO original ideas, receipts or good research. They come with the tea late to the party also, their content is mostly stolen from the original drama channels. I personally don't even care about the animation because I don't actually watch it, I just listen to it while doing other stuff.

      I feel like CZcams drama is not a big deal and should be light hearted. It is just so much better delivered by someone putting some personality into it rather than a scripted voice and a monotone cartoon. It makes it all seem like a much bigger deal than it is and tbh is just kinda boring. I don't know who is fun in the drama community now but back when I still watched stuff like that rich lux would always make me laugh (his content is not that fun anymore tbh unfortunately).

  • @kerrie6084
    @kerrie6084 Před 4 lety +14

    But on this whole situation, I think CZcams is really shooting themselves in the foot by shunning creators for celebrities and companies. Firstly, viewers who watch creators have a loyalty to them as a person and, by a certain extent, CZcams because they're CZcamsrs. Whereas viewers who watch company videos and celebrities won't have a loyalty to CZcams so much; they're used to seeing that content on multiple platforms, so will follow the content instead! Also, the celebrities and companies don't have a loyalty to CZcams because CZcams is a way to make *more* money, not to begin a career or express yourself, like CZcamsrs' motives.... I get from a company perspective YoTube wanting celebs but why are they so clearly hurting creators to do so?!

    I've seen this similar celebrity trend with athletes as well. I follow gymnastics and figure skating and both sports have seen more main stream popular athletes start channels (Shawn Johnson, Nile Wilson, Adam Rippon, etc). However, I personally find their content to be more on the relatable end even though they have a higher starting production value. I think having sports-centered content (for the most part) helps a lot and they do a lot of vlogging. Especially in sports with smaller windows for sponsorships, youtube is a really lucrative avenue
