Anyway, I was thinking to myself, about this blog, and my youtube channel and thought to myself.
"It's generally not that interesting to watch(or read) people just talk about themselves, at least unless I know the person personally"
So that means that the maximum about of people that will probably watch those is just people who consider me their friend. Which, is maybe 15 people.
So, what do *I* like to watch? Well, I like funny videos, and seeing funny stuff. But I don't know if I'm the kind of guy who can come up with that on the spot. I like informational videos, but creating long how-to's is hard, and I need pretty good video editing skills to keep people entertained for more then a couple of minutes. So, what do I spend my time viewing, that is short and interesting.
Well, I think back to the time I spend on reddit, and besides the funny stuff and ask science, my favorite part of it is the todayilearned subreddit. So I decided I would make a blog and a youtube channel based of this idea.
I'm not going to copy what is on the subreddit, but rather the idea of a TIL, some short interesting factoid.
Here are some basic idea's of the channel:
- I plan to have videos 1-2 minutes long
- Talk about some interesting fact, along with some extra info about it.
- Try to get idea's for videos naturally, as in stuff I incidentally learn.
- Research the topic to get more info, and share it.
Along with the youtube channel, there will be a companion blog, that will talk about the same thing as the video, not exactly a transcript but similar, and will also give people sources to whatever I talk about. I will likely write the blog post first, then post the video.
With short 1-2 min videos, I hope for them to be rewatchable and interesting. And good enough to share.
I will continue to update this blog and my original youtube channel with more personal stuff, as well as introducing new projects. I will also post here when I make my first TIL video.
