  • Andy, you NEVER waste any of my time. Just not possible.

    It's funny that this discussion has continued the way it has over the last week, because I keep coming back to the topic in my head. I remember a while back when so many of us were doing shoutouts for one another, directing people to go watch each other's channels. And now it seems the tide has turned a bit where we're trying to help one another cut down.

    Is this a video sharing site or a support group? LOL

    ...Or both?

  • Thanks Curt.

    I think we've all come to the same realisation at the same time, spooky eh? It's something that's crept up on us all.

    This is a bit of a support group, in some ways. Some people seem to need to be told that's it's ok not to watch every video & not answer every comment etc.

    'Real' life is important as well, but i do love to be with my YouTube family as well :)

  • When we speak... hundreds listen. That's why we feel like rock stars, and get addicted to the attention. I don't think its bad. I think we long for this. In here, we rule, Hollywood can't touch us.

  • I think you're right. I must admit it is very nice to get the attention, especially when people like what you do & say. It's a vote of confidence, in a way.

    It's hardly surprising that we then get to like that attention. I must admit i hadn't thought of it that way before. Sounds like another video topic!! :)

  • It's one of the bits that takes the time because I watch all the way through. Then think what I want to say, then type the comment and read through to make sure it makes sense! ;-)

  • yeah i need to be a stay at home something like you! lol!

  • My typing isn't that good i'm afraid & i tend to keep editing my comments as well, which doesn't help.

    I find making videos easier than leaving comments sometimes :)

  • I comment on every video even the ones where the video maker never replies to their comments. I have actually asked a couple of times if people read the comments or should I stop and that always gets a 'yes we love your comments don't stop' message back. But it all takes time, thank goodness I touch type! L

  • Thanks for that Lesley. I remember discussing this with you, via comments, the other day. I was thinking about that whilst making this video.

    Do you comment on every video you watch? I must admit i don't always. Maybe i should? :)

  • I only have 66 channels I subscribe to and some of those put out only a few vids. But with the time it takes to watch and comment I have to limit my time here so I resist subs to more channels until I have more time. I answer all comments on my vids because it's the interaction that I enjoy most. It's only the new recent ratings bar that has let me know that some of my subs watch and rate but don't comment. Cheers, Lesley
