Casey Neistat's bio had most of the conventions I listed and then some. In Casey's bio, he included his name, where he is from and his age. He also included the equipment he used but did not include the type of content that will be posted on his channel. Lastly, he added an interesting fact about himself. A convention that was included in his bio that I did not list was links to his other social medias.
Matt D'Avella's bio included his name, what type of person he is, and a background of his previous works and what he will be posting about. He also included the convention I missed: links to his other social medias- like Casey. Peter did not include his age or where he is from nor did he include the equipment he uses to make videos.
Peter McKinnon's bio was pretty short. He included an interesting fact about himself (he drinks lots of coffee). He also stated what content will consist of (vlogs). Peter did not include where he was from, his age, or the equipment he uses to make videos.
The purpose of a Youtube bio is to catch a viewer's attention and help them decide if they will want to watch or not. For example, an inspiring vlogger would probably check out some of McKinnon's videos simply because he included he is a very successful vlogger. A Youtube bio also help the viewer know a little more about the creator they are viewing. By including names, ages, and where you're from more of a connection can be formed. The tones and styles are different between each YouTuber based on the type of person they are (personality wise).
omg! this post is so funny and interactive! the gifs/ pics/hyperlinks are super cool! wow did someon say #techsavy? i stan. anyways... youtube is such a large media platform like it makes people from nothing into something! casey is actually a good youtuber i watch his videos. i love that you tackled youtube bio's because was somebody that didn't have one, or often overlooked them. but as a creator, its so so important to feature some of the important information like background, full name, etc in their bios, because youtube is their job and their bio is like their business card. its something a new viewer can reference.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your topic! Youtube channels in general are all different from one another, so the only way we can really quickly decide if its a channel we'll like without spending hours on their channel and then NOT liking the content is more or less through their bio. When people think about youtubers they just think people who record themselves and put it out into the internet, however with this it almost feels like you're bringing back the humanity in the creators and not just seeing them as their channels!

ReplyDeleteI really like your topic and enjoyed everything you put in your post. I generally don't check out a YouTube page’s bio, but I agree that reading a YouTube pages bio can help to quickly decide whether or not you want to watch that channel. YouTube bios can be important because many youtubers post content as their full time job so they really need to sell themselves, whether their content is just fun or if it's is high quality where they would feel the need to lose what kijnd of equipment is used.
