Ouch. The Fine Line Between “Storytelling” and Inauthenticity

ByNalts

Online-video has rules, and I’ve broken one. And I don’t care.   A while back two YouTubers (myself and CharlesTrippy) did a fake feud on YouTube that created something of a backlash. Our loyal subscribers were outraged that Charles and I would give out each other’s cell phones to torment the other (see Charles’ video, then…

500 of the Best YouTube Videos (Creator’s Choice)

ByNalts

There are three ways a video can be labeled a “best.” First (and most common) is the rating system. This, of course, has its own biases. Popularity doesn’t always mean quality (even my lame videos tend to jump to the “highest rated daily video”). The second is the “editor’s choice.” This is good, but subject…

eBaums Features My Worst Video Ever… L33t Dwarf Horses

ByNalts

eBaums featured my worst video ever a few hours ago. It’s called “l33t dwarf horses,” and it’s a parody of “Internet gaming speak.” It was inspired by DigitalPh33r (see recent post on him). For more about l33t, see this Wikipedia entry. Or the Urban Dictionary version of it. eBaums must have ripped the video from…

Solutions to “Free” vs “Paid” Debate About Online Video

ByNalts

Our friends at ReelSEO revealed the Pew data showing viewer’s surprising willingness to pay for online-video content. Until recently, I’ve been nervous about the notion of any subscription or pay-per-view model because it’s likely a “deal killer” for most viewers watching amateur creators. Sure I’ll pay to license/buy The Guild or Dr. Horrible, but less so for…

  1. I thought this was going to be something interesting. Then I found out that it’s something which I can’t sign up for until two years from now, by then it’ll probably have died.

  2. I don’t get the joke, but Nutcheese is looking haggard. Things must be rough at home or something.

    Is this a collab or an abberation or what the f* is it??

    I don’t get it.

  3. Oh wait. I think I get it now. Kelly is big on that Vloggerhead dealio. This must be that new kinder, gentler Vloggerhead atmosphere we’ve all been hearing about.

    Is this a prank? I hate it when I get pranked!!

  8. I was debating whether to post this video on the blog and then found it waiting for me. How it got there? A hacker or maybe I posted it in the midst of an ambien binge. BTW- I think Nutcheese looks haut in high rez, Marquis.

  11. What is Vloggerheads.
    Hell if I know, but the whole drama will make a great topic for some anthropology or psychology.grad student’s paper who’s a fan of social epistemology. Anyone want to get published?

  12. @marquis- she’s got Ellen Degeneris smile and the innocent eyes of a child. That’s all I see. But I swear I’m shocked by my own decline, having recently looked at pictures of me 4 years ago. Shit I’ve aged like a president.

  13. Boy, there sure is a mess o’ hatin’ with this one. Poor kelley. What people don’t understand is that she’s really just a delicate little flower, a chocolate bon bon.with a hard exterior and a soft mushy center. Hopefully a chocolate center, since I love chocolate. I am not flirting with you kelley.

  14. Cults, rapid aging and short people! Oh my!

    @10
    Oh I look much worse.
    @11
    Just look at the glazed over eyes of 1938Superman in the vid I linked at @7. Last time I saw that, I was staring into the steely blues of a Moonie.
    @12
    Oh now I really suspect a viewership drive prank.
    @13
    Chocolate can kill babies and puppies.

  16. yawn…people actually whatch this shit? this is the new media revolution? wake me when these fruit cakes are finished sounding off.

    Come on, real content producers like Nalts (farts and all) shouldn’t have to bothered with this poo (good one NutCheese)

  22. Kelley, at least Nalts calls you. You too, sukatra. He’s never called me. I am hurt.

    I am going to Wildwood, NJ next week, then stopping by by nieces’ apartment on the way home. They live near Nalts. I was so excited, thinking I could finally meet him. But he’s got to go visit his in-laws. Bummer.

  25. He’s only called me once marilyn, but it was the greatest day of my life. No wait, the greatest day of my life was when I had that hairy mole removed from my ass. So i guess it was the second greatest day of my life. Appropriate, don’t you think, since they both involved asses.
