Poll: Do you enjoy watching reefing videos?

[dbl]

I'm curious how many folks enjoy watching posted videos. I've never been a big video guy so I don't tend to watch them, but it seems like they are becoming more and more popular. I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing out on something.

So do you enjoy watching them and do you also like sharing the videos that you shoot of your tank?

This is a crazy pol [emoji23]
My commute back and forth is all about reefing. I listen a lot and watch a lot.

Absolutely. Grew up on YouTube.

I enjoy watching them. A build thread may still be the best means of archiving your successes and failures but including videos in with the pictures is a great way to really see the progression. I've always done random videos but about a year ago I started making monthly videos on my reef + other videos.

This is April, I will do a new one in the next couple of days. Monthly is frequently enough that there is enough change, but not so long that it looks like a different tank.


I do watch a lot of youtube reef videos but I mostly prefer watching someone who is also talking about their tank vs just a beautiful reef with background music. While I'll watch those too, I'd rather here the excitement of someone talking about their reef.

I really enjoy when people share their reefing experience on videos. If you ask me to choose between reading a "reef of the month" article or watching a "reef of the month" video, I would choose the video. I really respect the people who have the time to record their reefing journey because, for me, it is really hard to find the time to even maintain my tank! I am a video lover!!

I love watching reef videos on youtube. Could never make my own. I was always told I have a face for radio

 

[hecterma]

Absolutely! This is how I learn, by binge watching reefing videos and learning from others mistakes.

 

[Skep18]

Yes, original content and creative videos. Copy cat channels not so much.

I like seeing video of actual refers tanks, and they can be useful in remotely diagnosing a problem. The supposedly edumacational videos on YT ..... Mostly a pass. Thusly I picked other

I rarely take pics of my tank, let alone a video, but I love watching all your guys / gals videos & pics.

I especially like any hobby related educational video.

If I get a few minutes of alone time on the TV I'm 100% watching fish videos. CJ, Inappropriate Reefer (#HCRS), BRS, King of DIY, etc. I wish Marine Depot was able to roll out videos with more consistency. I'm starting to watch more ReefDudes in my craving for more fish videos. CoralFish12g used to be my favorite but he's been really inconsistent lately (I get it, he's probably a little busy doing the whole college thing) and throwing out some odd videos, but man college has been great for his video editing skills.
