@Sid's Trains posted:Ain't it funny how people are worried about new people joining the hobby, but meanwhile the older folks are raining on there parade. I'm an 19 year old who has made a pretty good name for himself. I repair trains for people, do upgrades, and have a successful YouTube channel I would say. I'm nothing special, but that's the point isn't it. Be yourself and make a video. I do agree some content is better than others. Social media in general has allowed lots of people to make videos and content that may not be interesting to a more sophisticated person. However, at the end of the day YouTube videos aren't meant to be world class productions. Rich I give you all the credit in the world. I watched tons of your videos as a kid especially the tmcc video. I will never be able to make high end productions with twelve cameras facing towards the same object. In all honesty nobody will do that on YouTube because that is not what it is about. Its not a documentary. Its young and older people sharing their views and life in the hobby. I'm sorry if some videos annoy you guys, but as a fellow train YouTuber with a good following, I just ask that you don't rain on our parade because of a few people who just don't have the right style of editing or video making. Hope this was insightful.
I agree! Not sure why all the negativity just because someone puts the effort in to share something with everyone else. Videos don't just happen; some can take a lot of time to make. When I started mine a long time ago I did it to share all my work (and mistakes) on my layout build because I could not find it anywhere else. I'm not a professional actor, so yes, I "Um and Ehh" a lot in mine because it's just shooting from the hip, no script. The catalog reviews were fun to watch! Maybe that one you saw wasn't, but just skip it and move on to one that is. I think all the guys making videos are doing a great job and I look forward to them every time they release one. (RJ's Trains, Sid's Trains, RBP Trains, Nix Crossing, JD Stucks, Chris's Trains and Things, Dagryffin Hobby, Hennings Trains, and on and on).
I mean if you think some of their videos are long, come watch mine LOL, I love to go on and on with detail and people can't handle it, HA-HA.
But I am doing it my way. Some people do appreciate all the detail.
I get so many ideas from the content all these guys share. I hope they continue making videos forever!
