The trouble is, “quality” is such a subjective metric to measure content by. There are some people who produce videos with really good audio and video quality, fancy graphics, fades and wipes etc. but the actual content is a bit…. meh. There are also a few people whose editing skills and even camera quality could do with sharpening up, but their videos are watchable because of the actual content.

Some people just have infectious personalities that make you want to watch (yes, Mel The Terrain Tutor, I’m looking at you). Even if  – in the early days – the performances weren’t very “polished” their personality and love of the subject shines through. Then I find there are some ‘tubers who produce really good visuals, impart loads of imformation, get light and audio levels just right – but are really difficult to watch, just because I can’t connect with them as a person (cough, cough, Kenny Butcher from Next Level Painting).

So with “quality” being so subjective – and the reason some of us find a ‘tuber fascinating to watch the very reason why so many other viewers switch off – it’s tricky to address; I guess we all like what we like. There is a lot of dross and a lot of amazing content out there. It’s quite possible that of the channels you say you find “low quality” some of us would love them!

Maybe, as a community, we could start a thread with favourite channels (if there isn’t one already) *and why* (a thread on haters would be infinity long, as we’d all probably have reasons to dislike something that someone else loves!)
