Why I think vlog YouTube channels are stupid.

[R1ch4rd N1x0n]

I don't see the point in watching daily videos of someones life when they are doing nothing other than daily life things. Plus why would you want to video your life for no reason?

why do people even watch vlogs

Indeed they are. But they also make a lot of money.

The only Vlog I ever really followed was Stephen Georg's vlog, mostly for gems like this.

Because some people enjoy sharing their life with the world and some people like watching it.
It's not up to you to determine what's right and wrong for others if they don't stand in your way.

It's not about a matter of right and wrong (which isn't determined by relativism), but about stupidity.

Alot of people watch these videos, are they all stupid?

they are just attention seekers wanting strangers to watch their life so they feel important.

I agree they are the stupidest channels on youtube along with reaction channels and other junk.

But he never said it was wrong, he simply can't fathom WHY. Personally I assume it's because to some people these vloggers are their "friends" or something, it's like legal online stalking in a way / acceptable creeping.

Why is it so stupid? It's just seems like a matter of opinion, but since I myself have nothing against it(and reaction channels), does this mean I'm stupid to his eyes?
The amount of energy we lay out on small things is unbelivable...

A famous youtuber can successfully run a v-log on the side as another channel. That's when they have purpose and meaning. It's behind the scenes and insider knowledge for the diehard fans who are interested.

The actual Youtuber's channel normally has applied upon it an online personality, which isn't the real person.

The v-log helps show you that, yes, there's a real person behind it all. Might show you a day in the life of that person, setup and perparing for a major event/show, how they created the special effects, etc.

Smaller youtubers might see this, enjoy it, copy it, but not understood the real purpose behind it. Hense it just ends up as a super long boring unedited video about nothingness.
