talked a lot about what is this thing we are calling videoblogging? Is
it filmmaking? Is is television? Is it text blogging? A diary? Home
movies? All of the above? None of the above, but has something in
common with each... What kind of videos are we making? Why? What kind
of habits / expectations are we creating as a group by making the
choices we are making?
I see these recent discussions that you are calling "politics,
religion, or such topics" as part of the meaty debate of what this
medium is, what it could be, how it might be different than what we've
seen before, how it can stand on the shoulders of everything that's
come before. I don't see hardly any "off-topic" discussions that are
irrelevant to media making and distribution --
I think there's always been a deep awareness by this group that we are
collectively inventing a new medium that will have a deep and profound
impact on the future of media globally. And we are having
sometimes-heating discussions about what exactly we are doing and
debating the results we are getting. I'm glad! The cultural shifts that
we are making happen are as important to discuss as the technology
tools. Awareness is always good. Representation, access, funding,
creativity, oppression, promotion, corporate culture, mass media
culture, film/television history, internet culture, open source
movement culture... these are all _very_ much part of the discussion.
If this list is wasting time that you'd prefer to use doing other
things, than do that.
