Regretting YouTube?

This is an insanely long video (in crappy quality because I wasn't gonna wait forever for it to export and then load) about me and my whole youtube 'history'. I felt I needed to make it. Go with it, yeah?

All of the people who I've always loved, you guys are the f'in best and keep being yourselves cause no one could rock it like you do. All the little people--- you guys made youtube hella fun. This isn't a goodbye. It' just another one of those hi maybe bye videos. I never know.

Until next time - if there is one.

I will miss you lots.

seriously, these videos are like little technological windows, so to speak, and we are just peering into little moments of your life. i like that. you have always been fun to watch. but i have noticed that vlogging has gone down in popularity, everyone who used to be into it kind of grew out of it and moved on. that is life though, on to the next fad. people in real life seeing my videos never freaked me out though, my dad and nephew were the only ones to watch them anyways. good luck to you!

Only friends I've told know about my videos and I've never felt all that awkward about it, I pretty much say and do what I'd be doing in front of them anyway. Still I started to think what if someone else sees them, someone I don't tell who doesn't see that side of me. An employer or something like that.

In the end I thought fuck it, I made the videos for me and if someone wants to judge me based on them then I'm fine with that. It's a fun/sometimes depressing window into my past. I like it.

Ha weird, I very nearly left you a comment saying I'd missed seeing you around here. But since I also haven't made a video in a loooooong time I dunno I felt it would be a bit hypocritical or something.

Grats on getting married first of all. While I haven't had the issue of someone not wanting to be in my videos anymore (most of mine are just me) I did debate with myself whether to delete my videos a while ago or make them private.

But if you have footage of a person who doesn't want to be online, then you have an obligation to protect their privacy. Regardless of how you feel THEY ought to feel about youtube videos-- it's cruel to force a "memory" of them to be aired in a public forum.

shouldn't**** (and the kudus was for not removing your vids.)

[metalpoint]

I think what what you're trying to say is that youtube was originally an escape, and family and friends being aware of it takes away from that. and that turning on the camera captures a part of who you are, but not necessarily the part that specific people in your life want to know you as or see or be a part of. You shouldn't ever have to censor yourself. If people are afraid of any possible repercussions that may come of being on youtube, then they should post / agree to be in videos. kudos.

Good rant on an issue we all face. I've been made to pull down, re-edit and re-upload videos because they 'showed too much' of someone's face.

I know it's naive of me, but it really annoys me when people want to take something fun like this, twist it, and suck the life out of it. Makes you feel bad for ever trying. Yet we still try.

I made a bunch of youtube vids in 2006/2007. I took it really seriously and vlogged all the time, and managed to get like 300 subscribers. Of course the channel doesn't exist now. But I have all the videos in a folder on my hard drive. They're too cringeworthy to watch of course, but it's my video scrapbook anyway.

If you didn't save your videos when you made them, there's a bunch of ways to rip them from youtube. Youtube's servers won't last forever.
