Okay, don't get me wrong, I'm a Youtube addict as much as the next nerd, but one of the things I will never really get are all these youtube contests. I mean I don't really think the contests are a bad thing because you know, they promise give out money to people who really want to better their video making. But the thing is, all the youtubers who enter are always they same people. They're some of my favourite youtubers, but because they are youtubers of the 'popular' variety, they usually leave lesser known youtubers in the dust. Most of the people who enter have over 100,000 subscribers, and usually have decent cameras and editing software. They already have great quality videos. What about those who have under 100,000 subscribers? What about the ones who want to film videos from more than just their macbook webcam? Those are the ones who I think are the 'worthy' ones of these contests. They're not Youtube partners and they're the ones who would truly benefit from 35k worth of equipment. I'm not bashing the 'popular' youtubers who have entered the Youtube NextUp contest, because like I said, most of those who have entered are ones that I love and watch and subscribe to. All I am saying is that those over 100,000 subscribers, who have such a huge fanbase that would vote for them without even watching other people's entries, who have entered these competitions before AND some have even won, should step aside for a bit and let those with less than 100,000, hell, even less than 10,000 subscribers have their chance to shine and grow from their opportunity to enter this contest and win.
Okay, that's all that is on my mind today, so now I am going to finish my white wine and pasta, and watch Tangled again for the 1234235675889 time.
Good night, DFBTA, and happy BEDA-ing.
