Why do people do this, I think surely they don't behave this way in real life, but they feel the need to for YouTube? Another example that comes to mind, one I actually bared to watch some of, is Stephen Hawes (née Stephen the Robot). Great content, obviously a smart guy doing some great stuff. But every video starts over-excited 'hello my goblins and ghouls' (what?), we get crash zooms in on his face and mouth, violent music and head jerks to mark scene transitions, etc. Of course by all means have some personality, it's your video, etc., I just don't believe this is their (offline) personality? Matthias Wandel, Clough42, Marius Hornberger, and Phil's Lab I think each clearly have a certain personality that comes through, but it's 'professional', it's truly them, I assume, I think if I knew or met or worked with them in real life that they'd be exactly as I 'know' them to be. They seem genuine, and not insane. |
