Bummer...
I really couldn’t tell you if this was a snub or not, but apparently I’ve been passed over this week. Not even so much as an honorable mention for “YTB Video Week” on the blogs.
We’ve all seen them. The YouTube craze has been going on for some time and now anyone can make their own superstar videos and post them for everyone to see on the internet. All you need is a computer and web cam.
Some may not know this, but I actually have a College Degree in Audio/Video Production. Back in 1989 I decided it was time to get an actual degree. I had attempted to acquire a degree in “Partying 101” back in the early 80’s but was informed by the University that they didn’t offer said degree, (like hell…everyone had at least a Minor in it.) but alas, when I went back almost a decade later, financed by myself instead of my parents, things turned out quite differently.
If you would have told me that I could actually graduate college with honors back in high school, I would have told you that the idea was a complete joke.
After dropping out of college in the early 80’s, I found the perfect job and had all the proper qualifications as a party hardy “Radio DJ” which was great fun, very glamorous, but also extremely unstable. Once I found myself wanting to advance in the industry, I needed to have a degree in order to attain the Program Director status I was seeking.
It was there that I found not only did I have a keen ear for sound, but an equally keen eye for sight and the combination was exhilarating. I spent the next several years locked up in video editing rooms and had an absolute blast.
To this day, I still dabble with this type of production work for both audio and video. Now that computers are actually powerful enough to handle the large video files and I can produce some good quality home made videos for a nominal cost.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of YouTube. Most of the videos found on the site, frankly…they suck. I realize it’s my own interpretation and opinion, but when I look at any video I’m more interested in audio, video, framing and editing qualities. The content can be absolutely spot on, but if the presentation doesn’t fit my level of expectancy, personally I have a hard time with the entire message.
That being said, I have to wonder, with my own personal opinions aside, why in the world MY videos were “overlooked” this week on the blog.
Where they only YouTube specific?
Did I not feature enough “travel”?
Did I talk too much about “recruiting”?
Was the sales pitch too “in your face”?
Was it perceived as a “hard sell”?
Did it consist of too many lies?
How ‘bout misinformation?
Was it too outside the box?
Oh…I get it…maybe they couldn’t find it?
What ever it is, maybe I can fix it to meet the fine and upstanding standards others uphold in order to be worthy of being highlighted on someone else’s blog. At the very least, somebody could download the thing and send it the Attorney Generals office for review. They might find it very informative and it could help your case that YTB’s nothing more than a gigantic pyramid scheme.
One can always hope…

For a written review of this cruise, with more of the same old lies, recruiting pitch, and unprofessionalism that is associated with those of us in YTB, feel free to send this review to the AG as well.
