The costs & labor involved to make #VideoEssays for #YouTube is why I'll never become a Video Essayist, especially given how YouTube/Google keeps screwing over creators with their algorithms.

Besides, #Podcats have very good solid functions that can be supplemented with textual & visual materials.

#VideoEssays

this video is not only insightful but enlightening to those who (like myself) struggle to grasp why some men are the way they are. the divide in society's constructed gender binary is a vast one fueled by misconceptions, irrational expectations, and vitriolic attitudes. being open minded is the biggest first step one can take.

The #Lemmy community I started, c/VideoEssays, just cleared its first 100 subscribers! :blobcatdance:

The federation to #Mastodon is pretty spotty so far. It seems almost random which posts sync and which don't. Is that happening to everyone? Does the size of the community affect it? Or maybe which instance it's hosted on?

Anyways, check it out if you're a fan of the genre:

If you're on #lemmy and like video essays, come add your favorites to the c/VideoEssays community at !videoessays@lemmy.world (lemmy.world/c/videoessays)

I want that community to get off to a good start with lots of variety in the topics and creators that get posted, not only the stuff I already know about.

And if you make video essays, feel free to post your own content as long as you don't spam it!

Another Dan Olsen film, er, video essay is out.

Not technically a sequel to Line Goes Up (his fantastic piece about the financial, societal, and cultural dangers of #crypto and #blockchain garbage), but it covers adjacent topics: the Metaverse and its garbage copycat Decentraland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiZhdpLXZ8Q&t=359s

#VideoEssays #Metaverse #Decentraland

Great video essay with a ‘pessimistic optimist’s take’ on the state of the #VideoGames industry and potential for actual creativity to flourish again.

I love this narrator's writing and style, but I can't find their name (not in the video or description). anyone know?

I am a big fan of video essays and subscribe to a bunch of channel that make them. Here is one that I enjoyed today

Very excited to have just submitted the manuscript for "The Chemistry of Character in #BreakingBad: A Videographic Book" to the publisher! In this case, the "manuscript" consists of a document with 14k words plus 24 #videoessays totaling 36gb and around 5 hours of viewing! #digitalhumanities #digitalpublishing #videographiccriticism

Why Bad Gays Are Good

As I'm putting together the final draft of my manuscript for "The Chemistry of Character in BREAKING BAD: A Videographic Book," I've realized that the 24 #videoessays included in the book amount together to just over 5 hours of videographic material (plus 13,000 written words)! Is that "equivalent" to a book? Two books? What's the conversion formula? #dh #digitalhumanities #videographiccriticism

#Introduction

My name is Branden, most people call me Higby.

I enjoy #IndieWeb and #A11Y, spend far too much time looking at other people’s sites, and watching cartoons.

I also never stop fidgeting with the #CSS on my personal own: https://higby.io built with #Eleventy).

I'm glad to see they're more #YouTube #VideoEssays calling out the evils of #DrPhil.

This man has for years promoted and sent kids to institutions that practice systematic #malnutrition, systematic #SexualAbuse, usage of extended periods of #SolitaryConfinement on minors, regularly kills kids due to negligence, and constantly indoctrinates kids with the message that no one will believe them if they came out with the abuse they suffered.

A question for #contentCreators and those of you who like to watch #youtube and other platforms that support #longformVideos :

In your opinion, what separates #vlogs from #videoEssays? Also, who are some of your favorite vloggers or video essayists you'd like to recommend?

Finally added this account to Fedilab so now I can check it at times other than just when I'm on my computer, lol. Look forward to a lot more interaction! (I'll try to keep it #contentCreator-centric, and keep my off-topic replies on my personal account.)

If you're a content creator with a focus on #antiPatriarchy, #antiDiscrimination and/or #antiCapitalism #activism and you'd like us to boost your content, please follow us and leave a summary of your content in the replies! Open to #videoEssays, #vloggers, #documentarians, #artists, #writers, #podcasters, #bloggers, and all else--you just have to be a content creator, or supporter of content creators, that won't be rude towards creators who don't fit nearly into the fanily-safe, ad-friendly world of mainstream accounts.

The focus of OCC is to uplift and support so-called "Outcast creators," those of us who create content that is not welcome on most mainstream platforms and thus very often gets #censored and #shadowbanned. We're not a place to just show up, dump links to your content, then leave--we're a community, with active participation and forging friendships.

We also have a new discord server that we're slowly growing - - here's an invite link if you'd like to check it out! https://discord.gg/vbMYZM6b
