Quite right. I'm sure that most of the viewers were expecting some C
with D porno. I wonder how many stayed through to the end of the video.

Sex sells, and on YouTube, that is certainly your best bet... whether
or not that video has anything to do really with "transsexuals in
action" (i didn't watch it), the title seems to imply that I would see
transsexuals performing sexual acts.

(or hacker) ways to download videos from YouTube.
I use a very simple one. I set my
digital video camera on a tripod in front of my LCD screen (resolution
1800 by 1200) and videotape the few rare gems I find there. I learned
to do that when I tried to revisit some vlogs I thought were
interesting and found they had been removed by YouTube or the person
who posted them.
The "positive" attraction YouTube
offers is the size of the viewing audience. I only post vlogs there
that I don't worry about maintaining exclusive ownership of.
One of my vlogs entitled
"Transsexuals in Action", posted on February 3rd of this year has
gotten a total of 65 views on Blip and 2,978 views on YouTube
(forty-five times more views). That vlog, which is footage from the
first rally and march for transgendered rights in Greenwich Village
last summer, has also generated a number of hate comments but has
received a 3 1/2-star rating from viewers who voted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkqfH_1tyJc
I have only posted a few vlogs on
YouTube. Most of them are serious and haven't gotten such
excessive views as has the above. Yes, the title was crafted to be
salaciously inviting and on YouTube it has obviously worked. I only
wonder what those who posted hateful comments were looking for when
they clicked the link.
Quality always finds its market
and Blip TV is much better in that regard. A vlog I did on both Blip
and YouTube, "Women's Rights: A Worldwide Horror Story!", has received
only 2 views on YouTube in the fifteen hours since I posted it but has
gotten 92 hits on Blip and is near the top of Blip's "most watched"
list. http://www.blip.tv/file/30495
You really have to be "immune" to
the number of viewers and focus on producing the best product you can.
Some of my best vlogs have gotten fewer viewers than some of my worse.
I'd be interested in hearing about
other experiences people have had with different hosting sites.
