How often do you watch YouTube in Cellar posts?

Undertoad · 01-23-2008, 07:30 PM

I have a hunch.

zippyt · 01-23-2008, 07:34 PM

if it looks interesting I will give it a look ,
some get Gonged right off the bat

There ya go zip, I have posted a poll... scroll up to vote in it. You found my post before I was done writing the poll

TheMercenary · 01-23-2008, 07:54 PM

Since I my work blocks all of them I can't watch them till I get home. That is if I remember to go back to the thread of interest and take the time watch it.

only a few which seem particularly interesting, like house tours. Mostly, they are like undescribed links--not enough information is given for me to take a chance. I'd rather read than watch, anyway.

I'm a 25 center, and apparently in the majority.

Depends who posted them. Srsly. I have no idea how many person X posts (those threads have become flyover country for me), but of the ones posted by other people, maybe 50% of the non music ones. I don't read every thread, though, so really I have no idea.

Enough to appreciate the feature when it is used sparingly and appropriately. Howzat? What do you mean, that isn't an option? :p

On further reflection, I tend to listen to more than I watch -if it becomes evident that listening will be enough, I often pop elsewhere and do something else while it runs.

I've had the West St. Paul song stuck in my head all day....

I can't pick an answer from the choices above. Some? None of Drax's though.

HungLikeJesus · 01-23-2008, 08:38 PM

I don't watch any when I'm connecting from home (due to slow dial-up), and only occasionally when I have a fast connection.

Those are big reasons I don't watch them all either. Posts that include them as part of argument to make a point I ignore as well.

oh la tee dah.....
'i ignore your post if you use a video to support it'

oohh lah...

yeahhorseshit.

whatever.

i watch most of the ones i see at least long enough to see what it is. i get interrupted a lot at work, too. i was just thinking today about how fucking cool youtube has become. if you can think of it, it's probably on there.

DucksNuts · 01-23-2008, 09:07 PM

I used to watch them all, like the ones directly about dwellars or their lives....now I cant be arsed.

I havent watched any of LJ's or Drax's youtube threads, and I have skipped the ones in mid convo unless someone else watched them and commented enough to spark my interest

Clodfobble · 01-23-2008, 10:50 PM

I skip 99% of the music, and watch at least the beginning of just about everything else.

lumberjim · 01-23-2008, 11:45 PM

you make me sad

They are always really choppy on my computer, so I end up watching only those I already know I am really interested in.
