It is totally jealousy these professional reporters that are getting paid to do what people are doing for free on the internet and here on YouTube and are actually doing it better and are overshadowing the mainstream it calls into light there imnportance
Andy, I've heard tons about you from pip & anakin. I think you've made a huge point. The common man isn't heard. Only the loudest voice. That's why I think America has such a bad rap.
i can understand why some people would look down on vlogging and blogging because you do get some paedos and stuff, but its the same as real life. i think the people who act snobbishly are just judging millions of people on a tiny minority and because it gets on the media its projected onto alot of people. its just a shame that people get kind of xenophobic towards it. good video :)
yes, it means a fear of outsiders or something outside a persons regular life for example alot of people are afraid of or hate muslims because they have never met many. Its just that vlogging and blogging are quite a new and strange thing to alot of people and i think people just fear them out of fear of the unknown and a bit of bad publicity.
Well said! I agree entirely. I think the internet in these last few years has been an incredibly important source for people to show their talent in a way that has never available before. To a certain extent the use of the internet is 'free' and it's great that people like yourself are given artistic expression to express themselves worldwide. That shouldn't be frowned or snobbed upon. Youtube is great, so are you! :)
Some of the people are afraid of the really strange blogs and judge us all on them. Some of the people are afraid of the accountability it brings with more access for the common man - Plebians and Partricians maybe! But isn't it just wonderful that we can connect on a global level and meet so many great people!
no your not an idiot, i agreed totaly with your views, keep em coming. you tube is great! ps, i'm coming to hastings with my family next week...anything good for entertaining 5 yr olds? i'm sure we'll keep ourselves busy but a bit of inside knowledge never goes a miss. cheers andymooseman,peace.
I disagree with only one point - that everybody's opinion is as valid as others - because some people don't necessarily know all the facts and have opinions based on emotions & rumours, so their opinions aren't as correct as people that do know all the facts. But you're right that everyone's vote has the same value, and I agree with everything else. Good thought provoking stuff hehe.
That's a valid point, but sometimes it's not always easy to know all the facts. I totally agree that you should make some attempt to find them out first though :)
no im not aware of your theories. and this is a great reason to venture no further into the dull manusha of your perfectly valid yet unbelievably boring opinion.
I clicked this vid by accident and lasted 5 secs before I remembered I don't give a toss about about any self important bores ill informed opinions in either text form or wobbly vision. Blogs and Vlogs are pure ego wankery...
Hey dude, you made some valid points in your video. This is the only video of yours I've seen so maybe what I'm about to say isn't valid, but I think maybe you could try and vary your voice tonality a bit and slow down a little when talking, would make it a lot easier to listen to and help people relate to what you're saying more..:D
Freedom of speech is a fundemental human right, or, is it? Depends where you live I suppose. Andymooseman, I like this vid and put it in the 'Pearl before swine' category, judging from some of the comments writen.
Keep blogging or whatever else they call it.
One day people who vote, may wake up to the fact that information is power.

I've never listened to such a loada waffle in me life LOL but there again, he is a southerner! All bloggers are the same, up their own arses and attention-seeking wannabees!

i get what you mean about snobbery because i have a guy who regularly slags me off about my vids. it's not so much snobbery as a superiority complex on his part.
hello m8 you look like a really nice guy but get to the point! you rabbiting on! this is not a snobbish view just my right to voice my opinion i think after a few mins you get the jist, but use some bullit points god such a rant, your not an idiot , just dont walk round the park to get to the treas, you could have summed up in 60 secs
We do live in a class concious country don't we lol. It may have watered down as you say but I still notice it. Great video by the way, and I agree with your thoughts in every way!
Thanks. The class system is still there isn't it. Just the other day i saw an article all about the new Sloane Rangers, i thought we'd finished with all that!! :)
Excellent because I've run into similar articles as well. It was discovered around '99 that places like Blogger and others fulfilled a need for people to have online diaries. Then YouTube came, and it became video. Digital interactivity has been a pioneering concept of this century. I must say I ignore those articles. Now why aren't there more rock stars on vloggin YouTube ;)

Thanks for one year of concise opinions and advice, and an unmatched speaking style. I remember when I sent Samsarajade over to your channel. Reagan Opines - YOU are a GoodYouTuber ;) - John Reagan
People look down on vloggers because they are self important "youtube community police" - the snobby ones are people like renetto, digitalwankysoul etcetera for being spasticated so called "spokesmen" for youtube.
Just one cynics oppinion. Feel free to disregard it if you like.
People are snobbish about bloggers and vloggers because most of them don't make eloquent statements about the world we live in, like you just have - instead they talk about what they had for dinner, or debate whether Simon Cowell is gay or not, and presume the rest of the world is interested... I'm all for a world where everyone can have a voice, but with that comes the reality of sifting through a sea of banality to find anything that is remotely relevant to society as a whole.
I see your point, but then again like you mentioned there IS a lot of .. uncredible .. blogs and vlogs out there, you can't really blame a well travelled, experienced journalist for trashing it when he sees it. I'm hoping to be a journalist myself one day, so I can understand that - but then you have some very well presented b/v logs that have to be given credit. Subscription time!
I'm certainly not denying that there is a lot of rubbish on this site. But that doesn't mean that it's all the same. Unfortunately the way YouTube is portrayed in the media, is that it's all bad :)
It unsettles me some to hear people outside the U.S. discussing American politics. It unsettles me because it reminds me that our problems here in the states doesn't extend merely from sea to shining sea. What we do, or don't do, creates wide reaching consequences for world, brining trouble to the doorstep of people who never had a say in our decisions process.
You have to qualify your terms, my friend. :-) I consider myself a true patriot, but my understanding of the word "America" bears little resemblance to its modern definition.
I think the snobbery has part to do with a breakdown of credibility. The more that the media and politicians are compromised by special interests, lobbyists and big business, the less credible their opinions are to we, the common men and women. And the more that, say, housewives, speak up and make SENSE in what they say, the more we afford average men and women the credibility that we used to extend to "official" sources.
No wonder some people view blogging/vlogging with such disdain (perhaps unfairly), with posters like you who take over 5 minutes to make a point that most people could make in 10 seconds
Another factor is that the internet is spoiled by a culture of annonimity. The people who like to remain annonymous do not like the fact that when someone is not annonymous it lends more weight to what they say. They immediately start saying that our videos are just ego driven.
Because the majority of Vloggers are boring and have nothing worth mentioning. Those few with the gift are an exception, but 99% of Vloggers want to talk about what little goes on in their life - such as dinner, or meeting an old friend.
If Anne Frank had a Vlog I'd watch that, but she doesn't.
This clip makes an excellent point, demonstrating as it does that Vlogging is performed by those who can barely express themselves. A tedious waste of my time, or am I missing something and it's really a brilliant parody of the pointless activity of Vlogging?
Would be a subject worthy of serious academic analysis, but there is a difference between the impact of blogs/vlogs on regular media and the class effect.
I would also say jealousy. We are all subjected to spin, all media have an editorial agenda and Politicians can't censor what people put on YouTube. In the UK we are told how well the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are going but we know they're not and YouTube allows a soldier out there to make a video and show us the truth.
The genius of YT is the video could be featured, get a million viewings and be seen right across the world. (Sue Turton) Excellent video Andy.
Good points, well made. As you say, there is a lot that gets shown on YouTube etc that wouldn't get shown anywhere else. For example footage from Burma.
As most of my friends know, I write extremely long blogs on my Myspace, about loads of things, such as my life, Politics and Media. What I notice is that people tend to think, that it's only the people who have "no lives off of the internet", who can afford to waste their time to put Vlogs on Youtube, or update their written blogs. Upper-classes don't like us "peasants" talking about Politics, as it is their topic.
The media also attacks anything which compromise's their way of reporting.
I don't know how people can stereotype hundreds of millions of people under the perception we are all "weird", with little else to do, than talk to people online.
Problem is your views or opinions which you feel is valid are being put to the Majority of the population not just a group of people who can openly discuss things equally. Why have snobbery! People being snobbish about your videos and others because its Critisism. We have to have it or we are all going to be perfect people
because like myself i wonder why people feel the need to tell everyone what they think and do during the day. What people have for diner or what there distorted views on life are does'nt interest me. All it does is feed those who want to be noticied. Thats my opinion i have gathered from watching vlogs.
You're a lucky man. I'm going to add this video to my Favourites so anyone who comes across my profile by some sheer twist of fate will hopefully watch it, and subsequently wake up and smell the coffee. I've done this with other people's rants that are completely truthful as well.
hmm good choice of feature tho as ur right this is a new way of being heard but jus wish my vids got some hits but rather get seen with ppl interested in my art then jus random watchers i guess ...infact im not fussed now
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why not put this effort to some good use. There are plenty of chaities who could use your time you are wasting on this drivel. I really cannot beleive you felt tyhe urge to do this. I take it you have no friends.
Snobbery will always be there as some people think they are better... long as we know what they think is wrong. And Vlogging is just a bit of fun, I mean who has ever gone on TV for it... Ha.
Most of the people who flame video loggers have a lot of security issues. And are usually about 14 years old, or have been in a dank cave for many years. If its how people want to express, then let it be I say, it takes a lot of nerve to speak to the teaming millions.
The idea of jealousy is a good point, it is also, I feel those in power are afraid of our community and what we can acheive with our views and conversations/vlogs/blogs. I am a big beleiver that one person can change the world with their views and speaking them. :¬D
The media are threatened by us because we can speak the truth without worry of how a corporate advertiser might react. Advertising agencies are threatened by us because we are making quality corporate ads via these online competitions and doing so for very little reward. If I worked in media or advertising I would be quite worried about my future and probably inclined to not say very nice things about my freelance competitors, the vloggers.
Thanks for that. I think you put that very well & i totally agree with you.
Hence the fact that so many media/news companies are now getting involved with YouTube themselves. They're probably thinking "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" :)
I think much of the snobbery comes from the fact that vloggers and bloggers are doing is invalidating what the "talking heads" are doing out there in the media. I find that quite often, i'd much rather watch a fellow vlogger vs. somebody paid by a network, because i know what they have to say is more sincere. Great post!
Over here it's generally the hideous Fox news who seem threatened by people getting their opinions heard. They like TELLING people what to think, and their viewers usually go right along with that. Politicians don't want people to think, just to be manipulated into believing what they're told. YouTube and vlogs are threatening in it could get people to wake up and pay attention to what's going on in the world and just to think for themselves.
I've heard a lot about the dreaded Fox News, luckily i can avoid it over here in the UK. Not that i'd watch it anyway.
Some people like to have their point of view reinforced by TV etc, it kind of validates it for them. And as you say, some people seem to like to be told what to think. It saves them having to bother, i suppose!! :)
When I was younger, I used to be accused of snobbery. I thought about it back then, and came to the conclusion that I was a snob so that no one would realise that I wasn't actually very well educated or particularly clever. I think snobs have something to fear. Just as classical actors are (or at least used to be) snobbish about, say, soap operas. We're on our soap boxes here and the journalists who write such things are, I would hazard to guess, simply afraid that they'll become redundant.
That's a very good point of view & i think you're dead right.
As an example: i don't watch a lot of TV, but some soap opera acting is as good as anything i see elsewhere. Which i suppose kind of proves your point :)
Andy, I haven't noticed any snobbery to vloggers other than the people who put out what they call "comedy." I think twice now I've heard them say derogatory things about how vloggers go on for 8 minutes and don't have much to say. While that may be true for some people who get on here and go "let's see, what else can I tell you" and that goes on for about four minutes, there are others, like you, that have thought provoking things to add in to the fray.
It is totally jealousy these professional reporters that are getting paid to do what people are doing for free on the internet and here on YouTube and are actually doing it better and are overshadowing the mainstream it calls into light there imnportance

Being a fellow cynic, i do understand where you're coming from.
I most certainly don't pretend to be a spokesman for anybody, just myself.
If others agree with me, that's great. if not, so be it :)

People are snobbish about bloggers and vloggers because most of them don't make eloquent statements about the world we live in, like you just have - instead they talk about what they had for dinner, or debate whether Simon Cowell is gay or not, and presume the rest of the world is interested... I'm all for a world where everyone can have a voice, but with that comes the reality of sifting through a sea of banality to find anything that is remotely relevant to society as a whole.

That's a very valid point. As i said there are a lot of not so good videos out there, just like there are a lot of not very good shows on TV.
andymooseman 4 years ago
I see your point, but then again like you mentioned there IS a lot of .. uncredible .. blogs and vlogs out there, you can't really blame a well travelled, experienced journalist for trashing it when he sees it. I'm hoping to be a journalist myself one day, so I can understand that - but then you have some very well presented b/v logs that have to be given credit. Subscription time!

I'm certainly not denying that there is a lot of rubbish on this site. But that doesn't mean that it's all the same. Unfortunately the way YouTube is portrayed in the media, is that it's all bad :)

It unsettles me some to hear people outside the U.S. discussing American politics. It unsettles me because it reminds me that our problems here in the states doesn't extend merely from sea to shining sea. What we do, or don't do, creates wide reaching consequences for world, brining trouble to the doorstep of people who never had a say in our decisions process.
unmaker909 4 years ago
That's why we all talk about the USA so much. With power & influence comes responsibility.
For the record i'm very fond of America :)
andymooseman 4 years ago
You have to qualify your terms, my friend. :-) I consider myself a true patriot, but my understanding of the word "America" bears little resemblance to its modern definition.
unmaker909 4 years ago
I think the snobbery has part to do with a breakdown of credibility. The more that the media and politicians are compromised by special interests, lobbyists and big business, the less credible their opinions are to we, the common men and women. And the more that, say, housewives, speak up and make SENSE in what they say, the more we afford average men and women the credibility that we used to extend to "official" sources.
unmaker909 4 years ago

No wonder some people view blogging/vlogging with such disdain (perhaps unfairly), with posters like you who take over 5 minutes to make a point that most people could make in 10 seconds

Another factor is that the internet is spoiled by a culture of annonimity. The people who like to remain annonymous do not like the fact that when someone is not annonymous it lends more weight to what they say. They immediately start saying that our videos are just ego driven.

Because the majority of Vloggers are boring and have nothing worth mentioning. Those few with the gift are an exception, but 99% of Vloggers want to talk about what little goes on in their life - such as dinner, or meeting an old friend.
If Anne Frank had a Vlog I'd watch that, but she doesn't.

zudthespud 4 years ago
This clip makes an excellent point, demonstrating as it does that Vlogging is performed by those who can barely express themselves. A tedious waste of my time, or am I missing something and it's really a brilliant parody of the pointless activity of Vlogging?

I would also say jealousy. We are all subjected to spin, all media have an editorial agenda and Politicians can't censor what people put on YouTube. In the UK we are told how well the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are going but we know they're not and YouTube allows a soldier out there to make a video and show us the truth.
The genius of YT is the video could be featured, get a million viewings and be seen right across the world. (Sue Turton) Excellent video Andy.
YTandrews 4 years ago
Good points, well made. As you say, there is a lot that gets shown on YouTube etc that wouldn't get shown anywhere else. For example footage from Burma.
It's an outlet for the truth & real life :)
andymooseman 4 years ago
As most of my friends know, I write extremely long blogs on my Myspace, about loads of things, such as my life, Politics and Media. What I notice is that people tend to think, that it's only the people who have "no lives off of the internet", who can afford to waste their time to put Vlogs on Youtube, or update their written blogs. Upper-classes don't like us "peasants" talking about Politics, as it is their topic.
The media also attacks anything which compromise's their way of reporting.

I don't know how people can stereotype hundreds of millions of people under the perception we are all "weird", with little else to do, than talk to people online.

Problem is your views or opinions which you feel is valid are being put to the Majority of the population not just a group of people who can openly discuss things equally. Why have snobbery!

because like myself i wonder why people feel the need to tell everyone what they think and do during the day. What people have for diner or what there distorted views on life are does'nt interest me. All it does is feed those who want to be noticied. Thats my opinion i have gathered from watching vlogs.

Most of the people who flame video loggers have a lot of security issues. And are usually about 14 years old, or have been in a dank cave for many years. If its how people want to express, then let it be I say, it takes a lot of nerve to speak to the teaming millions.

The media are threatened by us because we can speak the truth without worry of how a corporate advertiser might react. Advertising agencies are threatened by us because we are making quality corporate ads via these online competitions and doing so for very little reward. If I worked in media or advertising I would be quite worried about my future and probably inclined to not say very nice things about my freelance competitors, the vloggers.
CountryComesToTown 4 years ago
Thanks for that. I think you put that very well & i totally agree with you.
Hence the fact that so many media/news companies are now getting involved with YouTube themselves. They're probably thinking "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" :)
andymooseman 4 years ago
I think much of the snobbery comes from the fact that vloggers and bloggers are doing is invalidating what the "talking heads" are doing out there in the media. I find that quite often, i'd much rather watch a fellow vlogger vs. somebody paid by a network, because i know what they have to say is more sincere. Great post!

Over here it's generally the hideous Fox news who seem threatened by people getting their opinions heard. They like TELLING people what to think, and their viewers usually go right along with that. Politicians don't want people to think, just to be manipulated into believing what they're told. YouTube and vlogs are threatening in it could get people to wake up and pay attention to what's going on in the world and just to think for themselves.
petuniabelle650 4 years ago
I've heard a lot about the dreaded Fox News, luckily i can avoid it over here in the UK. Not that i'd watch it anyway.
Some people like to have their point of view reinforced by TV etc, it kind of validates it for them. And as you say, some people seem to like to be told what to think. It saves them having to bother, i suppose!! :)
andymooseman 4 years ago
When I was younger, I used to be accused of snobbery. I thought about it back then, and came to the conclusion that I was a snob so that no one would realise that I wasn't actually very well educated or particularly clever. I think snobs have something to fear. Just as classical actors are (or at least used to be) snobbish about, say, soap operas. We're on our soap boxes here and the journalists who write such things are, I would hazard to guess, simply afraid that they'll become redundant.
SohoSquare 4 years ago
That's a very good point of view & i think you're dead right.
As an example: i don't watch a lot of TV, but some soap opera acting is as good as anything i see elsewhere. Which i suppose kind of proves your point :)
andymooseman 4 years ago
Andy, I haven't noticed any snobbery to vloggers other than the people who put out what they call "comedy." I think twice now I've heard them say derogatory things about how vloggers go on for 8 minutes and don't have much to say. While that may be true for some people who get on here and go "let's see, what else can I tell you" and that goes on for about four minutes, there are others, like you, that have thought provoking things to add in to the fray.
