I really didn't mean to open a can of worms and like someone else pointed out I "could" have said what make a vlog popular. My intent was just to see if there was a standard and if so why. Based on all the comments it just seems to be "No" there is no standard which is great because I know "good" is a very subjective term, and I guess in my somewhat shallow way of thinking sometimes good=popular, which I know is not entirely true but hey, like I said sometimes I am shallow. ;) But also I was hoping people would point me to the stuff "they" like to help expand my horizon so to speak. Because I will say this there is a lot of stuff and trying to sort through it all can make for a long day :)
