The other day I came across ijustine. Apparently she’s a lifecaster, which means she broadcasts her life basically 24/7, except when using the bathroom. She also has a blog and a youtube channel.
I know that this is probably because I’m female, but I really don’t see this girl’s appeal. Yes, I realize she’s incredibly pretty, but honestly there isn’t anything remotely interesting or profound or even that creative on her youtube channel, and a video of her shopping somehow has 18,000+ views. The camera work is rather shaky most of the time, her editing is cliche and I couldnt even make it all the way through her Fall Out Boy interview.
Now, I’m not saying that I could do any better than this. I’m not a vlogger and don’t aspire to be, but I do spend a fair bit of time on youtube and I also have experience with video editing and production. As far as material and creativity go, I’d much rather watch katiesopinion over ijustine anyday. Her personality is less fake, more interesting and she’s easier to relate to. Her voice is more animated and her acting is much better. She finds better ways to get her viewers involved than ijustine. Also, she doesn’t post boring 2 minute videos of herself in a bikini in a pool talking about nothing with strangers.
You’d probably get more hits if you broadcasted going to the bathroom too.
As a devoted blogger, I would TOTALLY include this aspect of my life as well.
…Pretty girls with popular sites soley because they’re pretty and not because they’re interesting = shmeh.
I ignore them.
This layout looks rad rad rad. I obviously don’t stop by often enough, since I’ve never seen it!
Haha, even though you hate me.. I love your blog design!
Amen to that sistah! God, who can watch that crap? Not I. And, it’s not just because I’m a 30-something chick, but, I’ll never get those moments back!
I dig your design, by the way. I found you on one of those CSS Gallery sites. Great work!
