really usefull thanks for sharing

The music on your video was mixed with your voice and hard to follow your message. I start to produce less and less Dtubsnap and focus mostly on my daily vlog. When something is new or trending people have a tendency to try it, then the hype decrease over time.

yes when you do a snap it should be a creative one not a bullshit :)

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this topic. I hope more people will understand that dtubesnap should be creative as well. I hope more of them will think at least before they record something. Dtube is not only about snaps, but it's about creativity, engagement, team work, collaborations, improvement, learning and motivation. We all have to help them to improve it. When I see a snapper doing something not right, I always comment him explaining what's wrong with his video. Some people even don't write the title or discription on their videos but just upload it with the name of the file and edit that in steemit. Some of them are using the same thumbnail or not even caring about improving it. I think we have a big responsibility to tell them about that, to guide the content of @dtube in the right direction. Thanks for the inspiration. ☺

Here is public holiday too. But my country here is warm and humid all the year.

I am fairly new so I totally love DTubeSnap. However when you get more comfortable, you tend to exceed way beyond 1 minute. So we have DtubeSnapplus. 

I think if I am a season video creator, I could still continue with my decent videos and occasionally have some DtubeSnap for fun. I don't see any problem with that. But again, I am quite new here so I may not be giving the appropriate comment. 

Now I am learning records few videos clips and learning editing. Video editing is actually fun. Still alot to learn from all of you. 

There are many dtube snap now. Some are boring but some are pretty nice to watch.

So I think it is still up to the content of the video. Whether it is 1 minute or 6 minute. Or 30 minute. But like you said we are in this instant-gratification world, alot really don't have the attention span for even 10 minutes video, let alone 20 or 30.

Hence now in the advertisement world, they try to find producer who can come out with catchy meaningful advert in few minutes that also can convey the message to sell their product. Anything more than 6 or 10minutes will be too long for this younger generation. This is my humble view. Still alot to learn. You watch my video you will know I am trying my best hahaha. Everytime I edit my video, I would giggle at my mouth. Like "seriously, you want to do this?"

Never try never know.

Love your heartfelt sharing. 

I believe in the statement Leader by Example and Practice what You Preach. As such, while we can comment on how others lack the creativity, engagement or collaborations, it's important that we ourselves practice it too.
Sometimes, ideas are self created but sometimes  it needs a bit of push and  research work. Plus not everyone is well versed with video and sound editing.
I can relate to that as I too had to research and ask many questions to reach where I am today. So, as much as we comment on others, let's be the one to offer advise on how or show the right steps to do better.

I'm always doing dtubesnap plus, it's brilliant, as for the excuse, there bound to be some people who will abuse it just like there are people who are abusing steemit as a blockchain

It's similar as to discuss whether twitter sort of post is suitable for Steem. 

I think it's OK, some people simply like short content/video. Only problem is that steem is about to monetise the content for most people, so yea, there's a big chance to game the system/farming dtube votes. 

Yet I like the idea to post short content, at least for most social network users, they aren't the best vlogger/bloggers, or they don't have time to create longer content whatever. 

You are for sure right, I believe steem needs more engagement in commenting/replying/upvoting among communities than shitpost. Under the econs on Steem now, it's kind difficult though. To be honest, I become lazy these days too, one or two years back, I used to make much more longer blogs lol

To sum up, I like short content, and don't see it as a problem if ppl enjoy posting them, to upvote or not depends on us after all.

Heya @bobaphet
I can understand your concerns and frustrations 
But I see it more as a people issue than the idea
I like Snap and now for the longer ones Snap Plus because of time
I can get my information or entertainment, also get to know the person in bite size
It is very possible to fit enough in a minute give or take, Nas Daily is a very good example but of course it comes with research and editing
For something like what you just did, which was to talk into the camera which is what Snap represents but in a minute... I just watched @runicar do a 90 second one, and he got his message across loud and clear

So, your message is great as in don't give empty content
I am with that, if you give me nothing, engagement is hard and the chances of me coming back for more is slim
But it can be done in and around a minute..... 
I have seen quite a few snaps that have managed to get their point across in less than 2 minutes 
But one needs to put thought and effort into it for sure, and not just press record and say whatever comes to mind ;)

Hmm not sure about everyone else. But I went on 2 different Halloween adventures and made 4 unique Halloween vlogs that were all full length. I had to string together hundreds of clips. Edit down parts, add music, render, upload, write the synopsis etc. For 4 days back to back. All while being a working single parent. My OCD snap was my 'light' day off in the middle. It was silly.. people really engaged with me on it. I believe I have over 40 comments on that one.. now of course some of those are me responding to viewers. On another note I have seen an abuse of the snap. Where people just give up on their creativity.. and say "Oh hello I am bla bla.. this is a tree.. thanks Nathan Mars.. and then they are rewarded for literally nothing? It baffles my mind. At least be creative in those 60 seconds.. sheesh. I totally can understand how you feel. As I know I have seen it as well. I just wanted to explain why I had made the one snap recently. I will make others.. but not often.. and when I do they will always bring something unique, fun, or entertaining. I hope people listen to what you have to say because you are making some very strong points Boba.

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue.

Your music was quite distracting. I think it is too loud and perhaps not the right type of music suitable for this video. Also, you took over 1 minute before getting to the main topic. As someone that has never watched one of your videos before, I felt anxious for you to stop explaining why you haven't been posting a lot and just wanted you to get to the point. Most viewers on any platform don't necessarily care why you've been absent recently (this applies to most content creators) so keep that part as short as possible and get straight to the point of the video.

I agree with you on DTube snaps. I don't really like watching them because a lot of them are boring and pointless. You should try and think of Dtube snaps as a means to compress an entire video/idea into one minute; not just babbling on about nothing. People make them cause they are easy and can get an upvote. I might try and make one in the near future to lead by example.

Good luck to you.

what are dtubesnaps?

It's great to see another Aussie on here. I think there will always be room for creativity and I think that DSNAP is great for introducing yourself, even YouTube videos reward people for people who can create longer, more engaging videos. I did one DSNAP, but it was for an informative purpose and now I am going back to my regular untimed format.

I'm not even going to read the rest of the comments I see below. I agree 100% with what you said.

I try and look at my video content in two phases. One does it video stand on its own without text for those that just want to watch video's and the second does the post stand on its own and does the video add value to the post so people want to watch it.

I think I do a pretty good job of it..... not always but pretty good. A snap is hard for me to do for the reasons you say......I have more than one minute of thoughts I want to get across.

My son told me he will watch up to a 6 minute video IF he finds the content something he finds interesting..... I try and keep that in mind too but I am and have always been known for going over and making long video's.... it's how I roll...though I have gotten better at editing so the longer videos are more enjoyable for people to watch.

I think video editing is highly underrated by many. PLus there are purist Vloggers out there that will say a vlog should not be edited.... I can understand both sides but I would much rather watch one that takes me on a story in an interesting way than not.

Thank YOU for making this video!!!!

I don't think it's Dtube snap, pretty much all of Steemit is being abused. I would argue Dtube is at it's most limited voting point even with lower vote value, the variety of content they touch now is more limited than I've ever seen in my 10 months, which is another reason you see so many bad videos.
