Less than famous interview!

Interview #1: plus2joe (Joe), lesliefoundhergrail (Leslie), masterjoeykancho (Noah)
Plus Savannah! (Not in the contest)

I think Joe is a natural leader and a moderator. Noah is clearly nervous. Leslie is interesting to listen to, also Leslie is known for bringing lesser YouTuber into spotlight, so it'll be quite nice to bring her. Interesting how Kristina pushed Joe... Joe is quite different from other YouTuber and I like that about him. Leslie rambles a bit, but her words are so interesting that it doesn't matter. Joe and Leslie is clearly dominating here, they bounce back to each other (since probably they know each other more...) Noah is clearly good... he just need confidence. I love Joe's ideas, seriously! Noah, you're fine. Just espouse!

Friday Interview #1: parsamend (Allyson), cqbrett (Cassidy) juicefromthebox (Juice) (Nathan?)

All three is so good! Interesting that Cassidy don't have a script because her content looks so nice. Juice
seems very dedicated and enjoying YouTube. Cassidy has good ideas. Oh, look at Allyson bringing a different perspective... and being funny, too. Quality in message... Non-vulgarity and relativity. This interview overall was nice as there's three different perspectives but they're active. But the commonality here is affection for community, very nice for the message of this panel. James has good questions! Once again, all three is so good...

Friday Interview #2: teganbowiefreak (Eden), sheisanoddchild (Kelsey), masterjoeykancho (Noah) Sadieteachesthings (Sadie), fizzylimon (Steve)

Kelsey starts with a joke. Steve is the leader here. Noah is more rambling here. Sadie feels bad about  corporation. Kelsey is an optimist... but it's a fine future plus great analogy. Eden has great ideas. Joseph Birdsong is great, Sadie. Very true, Sadie. Seattle does keep it fresh... Steve seems like panel kind of guy. Sadie with good points and also community-minded. Eden is great side commenter, well as being a commenter. Good comment on quality and quantity. Agree with you, Eden. Noah brings it to full circle.
Kelsey makes nice final point and Sadie and Steve as always is great. (Big Frame- ooh fancy!)

Friday Interview #3: evolvingsideways (Austin), jadesclark (Jade), phampants (John)

All the difficulties for Jade is pale compared to the greatness of her comments. Austin gives good perspectives. John rambles quite a bit. Jade gives a different perspectives. Austin is a great listener. Vidcon is not a polarizer... I'll make a video about this. (Did you know, YouTube was first envisioned as a dating site?) You can't fake YouTube. Jade and John going to a debate... Austin makes a great move to close the argument and moderate. Jade is out of the loop... Austin makes great points again and again. Like his videos.  Integration! (Again. Sorry.) John has lot of ideas, not well executed though... John needs to be prepared. Jade is, or least makes a great concurring point.

Friday Interview #4: amandaschronicles (Amanda), dc8r17 (David), whatthefain (Fain)

Branching... (I love how Google used Live YouTube to build hangouts on Google Plus) This interview is quite stagnant... London vs. LA and I agree, Amanda. David makes a good point again... Nice in optimism in corporate YouTube. This one has a much different perspective... Seems You Generation gave more optimism in corporate... Interesting point, Amanda. Remembering back to Cassidy, Fain. Outside influence, movies and TV series are already there... Swoozie is great. Tessa has awesome productions... you don't see that in her. Simple and introspective... Ze does well. Buckley is so engaging... he is very supportive of the community. Shane, eh. Oops, off subject. I like how this interview has different focus than the rest.

Saturday Interview #1: tallatstarbucks (Jessie), musicismylove92 (Kyle), morganpaigeloves (Morgan), ohnickel (Nickel), paulbartonsounds (Paul)

Nickel gives nice generation change. Morgan makes great points. So fidgety, Jessie! Nice misconception... Paul gives a close. Nickel gives a old idea (YouTube funded channel in 2011, remember?) Morgan: See What YouTube is Not (Becoming #9) TV has money? right? Nickel with a good point. Why is first group so good? Troll and stuff, good from all around. Paul hits the old drums, but it's okay. James make a counterpoint. Advertising... the bane! Morgan with great comments always. VlogaDay2013, which is sequel to VlogaDay2009 (which is for cancer)... Again, this was great.

Saturday Interview #2: gisikw (Kevin), everywhirlingplanet (Meghan), officialravenzoe (Raven), rsbreck (Russell)

Kevin with a professional perspective. Meghan with a good follow-up. Raven with a logistic approach. Russell with a forbidden button. YouTube blocks the little guys, but that's not the business. It's a hosting service first. Additional piece, I suggest is vidspoon and kingoftheweb and patreon... Meghan is passionate about the community but I'll agree on Kevin. Tumblr YouTuber is getting bigger. (Example: Collabakadabra)
If YouTube has social power... Elders? Nostalgia is a human thing. Meghan is defeated... Collaboration is thing... hmmm... World collab are cool. Russell is great, but not featured very much... This did went so fast.

Saturday Interview #3: polandbananas20 (Christine), icansodorandom (Hannah), liverpoollights (Kelly)

Christine brings a good point. Amy, Felicia, Wil... That was... wow... Fan is an awkward term... media in inclusion. Social media? Social media integration... All three is so great. Delicate thoughts... inclusion is important. Numbers is great point, Hannah. Number orientation society... Middle is awkward. Convention is weird... Big YouTubers do understand... (Vlogbrothers, SourceFed...) Structure does happen naturally... Your middle video was very nice, Hannah. Paid subscription have its niche (childern's tv). Abstraction of audience. Ooh, interesting question, James. Industry and Internet merging... James is defeated... Marina gets so much mentions... UK is so prime for YouTube. These three were so great. Everyone is so great.

Saturday Interview #4: heybraden (Braden), lovejonlovell (Jon), lindseythenerdiest (Lindsey), samanthafall (Samantha)

Jon giving a good point. Lindsey with great analogy. Generation Gap, again. Jon and Lindsey really bounce well... Education, yes. Don't worry, Braden, it'll come back. Fred is big entry for younger YouTubers... Friends as survey mention... Middle School? Huh, Samantha's younger than I thought. Hank, are you listening? Trumpets! Off-topic? I don't think so. Jon and Lindsey works so well together... Braden looks bored, but he has still has good points. Vlogbrother is a cheap way out, Samantha. Wheezywaiter is also cheap. ApprenticeA? Well, that's just flattery. Falzone? It's hard to say? Oh, he says... oh yeah. Making discussion and collaboration should be the backbone. Daily vlogs is hard (as said before.) Nifty! Nice question again, James. Integration! Not as good as other three, but okay.

Saturday Interview #5: haltiamava (Ava), lolpervs (Daisee)
plus liverpoollights (Kelly) and ohnickel (Nickel) came back again.

Daisee has a very different view than Ava or Kelly or Nickel. Deceptive, yes. Also, video response is a good thing. Reply Girl is down... It's big... that's why we're here. Nickel with a generation argument. Kelly in that generation replies... So much pundit in YouTube as well... Jenna has her style... Using another website, okay, scientific. Nostalgia... is it dangerous... Vimeo has good structure... Ava is defeated. Attention span... monetizing vine... is it stupid? Ava and Daisee is like those two girl in a pub far away arguing over anything but they're still friends... Perspective is good. Interesting conversation everywhere...

 Monday interview: haltiamava (Ava), meowitslucy (Lucy), thesonicscrew (Sean), shyaporn (Shya)

Oh, Lucy... quite drastic... Shya gives moderation. 50/50? Very blip like Ava? Good answer. Something new... Sean has... okay. Shya has good point. Sean has good ones too... Only UK, you can just stumble into a YouTuber's house. Ava gives a rare optimism... Shya gives a lot of points to others to pick on... that's good. You haven't, Ava? I thought you had it pat down... Sean gives common opinion. Patreon... gives a thumbs up to people. Better related videos... Why not integrate GMail? We can do vimeo or blip a bit? Experimentation? They have good ideas...  but conversation is choppy... Also see Christine's ancedote for how much YouTube know... UK is close to Google and YouTube... Huge disconnect... featured is gone... nothing blow up in regular content makers. Emma and jack are the last of a era? Quite interrupting... Giant collective? It's very tight-knit... Perfect delay?  Good opinion...

Sorry for the rambles... but overall, there's so many good people in the running that I'll be waiting for final result to come. Thank for reading...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

  Doddleoddle: You have an army!

   · 4  in reply to doddleoddle (Show the comment)

  
  

  THE PUBLIC TELEVISION HAS DECLARED THE CREATION OF DODDOLODDLE ARMY!!!

  
  

  OUR FIRST OBJECTIVE TO CRUSH ANY OTHER ARMY RESIDING IN THE LAND OF YOUTUBE

  
  

  NAMELY THE SO CALLED NERMIEARMY!

  
  

  WE'LL SHOW HOW UKULELE AND CUTENESS DESTROY BAD FASHION SENSE

  
  

  THIS IS REBELLION AGAINST BAD HUMOR AND EGOTISTIC SNARK

  
  

  THIS IS WAR.

  
  

  PLEASE TO REPORT TO YOUR NEAREST DODDLEODDLE FOR RECRUITMENT.

YA Manifesto

The progress of the friendship between Christine and Katie was quick as its beginning had been warm, and they passed so rapidly through every gradation of increasing tenderness that there was shortly no fresh proof of it to be given to their friends or themselves. They called each other by their Benedict Cumberbatch name, were always arm in arm when they walked, pinned up each other's train for the dance, and were not to be divided in the set; and if a rainy morning deprived them of other enjoyments, they were still resolute in meeting in defiance of wet and dirt, and shut themselves up, to read  young adult novels together. Yes, young adult novels; for I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom so common with young adult novelists, of degrading by their contemptuous censure the very performances, to the number of which they are themselves adding -- joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up the novel, is sure to turn over its insipid pages with disgust. Alas! If the heroine of one novel be not patronized by the heroine of another, from whom can she expect protection and regard? I cannot approve of it. Let us leave it to the reviewers to abuse such effusions of fancy at their leisure, and over every new novel to talk in threadbare strains of the trash with which the press now groans. Let us not desert one another; we are an injured body. Although our productions have afforded more extensive and unaffected pleasure than those of any other literary corporation in the world, no species of composition has been so much decried. From pride, ignorance, or fashion, our foes are almost as many as our readers. And while the abilities of the nine-hundredth abridger of the History of America, or of the man who collects and publishes in a volume some dozen works of Patterson, Card, and Dan Brown, with a paper from the Oxford Journals, and a chapter from Dostoevesky, are eulogized by a thousand pens -- there seems almost a general wish of decrying the capacity and undervaluing the labour of the novelist, and of slighting the performances which have only genius, wit, and taste to recommend them. "I am no YA reader -- I seldom look into young adults -- Do not imagine that I often read young adult novels -- It is really very well for a young adult novel." Such is the common cant. "And what are you reading, Miss -- ?" "Oh! It is only a Teenage novel!" replies the young lady, while she lays down her book with affected indifference, or momentary shame. "It is only Paper Towns, or Divergent, or The Hunger Games"; or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language. Now, had the same young lady been engaged with a volume of Victor Hugo, instead of such a work, how proudly would she have produced the book, and told its name; though the chances must be against her being occupied by any part of that voluminous publication, of which either the matter or manner would not disgust a young person of taste: the substance of its papers so often consisting in the statement of improbable circumstances, unnatural characters, and topics of conversation which no longer concern anyone living; and their language, too, frequently so coarse as to give no very favourable idea of the age that could endure it.

Thinking way too much about the Lizzie Bennet Diaries

The story of media goes from print, movies, TV ,to web. The idea of the media is separated between these four media.  (Strangely, Drama and theater strangles between this, maybe radio although I would consider radio more akin to television.)  Print is all about the imagination. The feeling from text by the strange combination of text, creating a world to explore in. Movie moves on from that and leads into story. Since the most important sensory detail are displayed naturally, the people focus more on the story. Without the story, the message falls through. Any thoughts must be attached to the plot or the sub-plot. TV goes more into the imagination aspect of books, exploring, finding kooks and nannies to illustrate a world. It might almost seen as a reaction against the movies. Web gives a whole new dimension.

 Meta.

It tries to blur the line between reality and fiction, presenting the work as real and preceding to assimilate it through means of the web. The story might be quite chaotic as it bounces left and right, or it gives a conundrum.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries is great exercise in meta-narrative construct.

Not only Lizzie a fictional character played by an actor, but it's also an adaptation of a novel. The story is set and readily available on the web. And yet, she is interacting in the real world.

Lizzie is living on a double lie. not only she thinks she is real ,but when accepting the fictionality, she also realize that the future is set; she's figment of an another imagination.

There's no changing the story. You're bounded to the fate of this book... She can read the future of the book well as Bree (from lonelygirl15) can't ,since her future is still being made...

Valerie Lapomp is another great work of meta-narrative construct.

She portrayed in the between stage of a web character, well as a "TV-like" character where she can't directly interact with the viewers. But viewer can see both at the same time. Viewer can see the 'real' world of Valerie Lapomp and the 'fictional' display of her life by some other person, which is her god, really.

So concept of reality is completely destroyed. We can't suspend our disbelief because there's a 'reality' we have already experienced. There's this fiction trying to interact with us, to act real and the producer is fictionalizing it. They are fictionalizing fiction!

What the... (the brain blows up in this enigma within a paradox)

The idea is so advanced that my mind boggles at the mere skimming. Web series, without a doubt, confound us with mystery never thought by humankind. They play around with the idea of reality, making us unsettled...

But we're not unsettled by the idea of fictionalizing fiction or the double fourth wall. We just enjoy the comedy and the female-ness that make us happy and satisfied. But think of this.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries (and Valerie Lapomp) is like you have found out that someone has been you for whole life as a TV Show, for which there is a TV show adaptation played by actors, then finding out that the whole thing was just a fiction by a writer which is writing an adaption of an another book.

Past Bing, Future Bing- Self-Indulgence

Okay, first off. If you want to feel the magic of Brotherhood 2.0 in terms of scale and inspiration (that has not failed like Dan 3.0) look no further than Past Bing, Future Bing.

Basic Synopsis: Chris Bingham has made a vlog every other day in 2011 but kept it in a hard drive, which he crashed but whatever, and released it exactly a year after it was made. He continued to make a video other day, which nicely feel in the gaps of the days in 2011 he has missed. So final product is that you get a Bing from 2011 in one day and Bing from 2012 in the next day. So we have this back and forth effect of seeing one people... basically acting like two.

Point: In the last video, everyone shed a cry about how inspired they were in this massive project and how it made them get better at life. Then I read this comment.

"Well, that's done with then, YouTube's biggest exercise in self indulgence this side of Dan Brown. Bye."

I know that this is just a inane comment, but it hit me like burst of misdirected energy. I stared at this comment (with its two thumbs) for a long time, trying make heads about it.

I talked about this for a long time, and I believe in that inherent selfishness that the comment is getting here. Sure it's all about ME! (That is not Maine, by the way) But it gives away to something more than that. 

What I'm trying to saying is that, this human civilization was about people working with others to benefit themselves. It's all about The Genetic Imperative! Protect the code! We want to mate, eat, and survive!

But what it happens is that we create this. We make laws to benefit others by doing stuff that you need or want. You need to give something to make money to get stuff. (Well, that's the basic principle.) You need to help others to get what you want.

I'm sure I said this on this blog, but there was this experiment that illustrated this in a simple way. So there was four people in a table. And in the middle of the table was a bowl. The proctor will put fifty one dollar bills on the bowl and said you can take much as you want, but if you leave some I'll match what you have in this bowl and start again. 

At first, people start to dart for the bowl and grabbed how many bills they could get. But soon after, people started to realize that if everyone waits, then they, as a whole, could get double the money, if not more. So they started to work together and wait for the money to rise. 

By making rules, we fuel our selfishness in something productive. Capitalism, I think, is a great example of this, and that I tend to say that the rules and regulation matter just as much as the market itself.

So what I'm saying is, yes PBFB may have been a great exercise of self-indulgence. But it made him do something; it made others to do something; learn something. And that's what Humanity is about, isn't it?
