Reacting To Your Videos! // Pointlessblog (Alfie Deyes)




Summary: Alfie (aka pointlessblog) does a question and answer video where he was sent questions in video form.

What does he get asked? Is something you want to know answered? Watch the video above to find out.


Enjoyability: This was a fun little video where you got to know a little bit more about Alfie and it was a creative way for him to interact with his fans. I found it to be slightly dull at times and Alfie didn't seem to have much energy in this video. Also the questions asked weren't that exciting and they were the same kind of thing that gets asked every Q and A. In addition quite a bit of the video was spent where he wasn't actually answering questions which kind of defeats the purpose. However the fact that it was more inclusive as you could see the fan's faces made it more interesting and I'm sure those featured in the video were ecstatic to be doing so.



 Comparison to other videos: Alfie has done quite a few question and answer videos on his channel and I think this was one of the best because it was slightly different. I think a few other youtubers have done Q and A s like this though or in a more creative manner than the usual and this takes away from his video. On the whole I don't think this is one of the best videos on his channel which nowadays mostly consists of challenges and video ideas that have been done a lot on YouTube as he doesn't seem to have the same level of energy he once did and this wasn't creative enough to beat some of his earlier videos.



Originality: Question and answer videos are a stable of the YouTube community and almost every youtuber there is has done one. Some of the time they seem to do this when they have no other video ideas as this is a fan favourite. However Alfie's use of video questions does make it stand out in a sea of these types of videos because most of the time these questions are taken from Twitter, Instagram or Ask Fm etc. and it's a nice touch to be able to see the people who asked the questions. But this is not a totally original concept and he is slightly adapting something that has been done many, many, many, many times before.



Overall: This was an okay video as there wasn't anything spectacular about it, it wasn't terrible but it wasn't brilliant either. Alfie did put a little twist on a staple of YouTube but this is not enough to make this video above average so it gets a 5/10.

I Dare You: GETTING TASED! (ft. Timothy Delaghetto & Anna Akana) - NigaHiga

Image
Summary: NigaHiga is back at it again with another I Dare You video featuring the hilarious and talented Timothy Delaghetto and Anna Akana, as well as the usual gang whose names I've now realised I don't actually know. awkward.... This video is a part of a series that NigaHiga has created which shows him and a group of people doing all sorts of crazy dares and challenges (the kind they tell you not to try at home) all to win a coveted spot for their name on the ball of lame. // Side note: the ball of lame is basically a ball of tinfoil that they write their names on// Unfortunately this video didn't stick out as being one of the greatest in the series and it didn't even make me laugh out loud once. Yet it does still do it's best to try to be entertaining. I'm starting to wonder if the appeal of the series is starting to wear off especially since Youtube is a place where you can see hundreds if not thousands of videos of people humiliating themselves an...

Making something of yourself

Uni is a unique time when you are surrounded by like minded individuals who all want to make something of their life. So naturally you'll see a lot of people having businesses, being athletes, aspiring singers, models etc and in this midst of so much success it can be disheartening in a way. Everyone appears to be flourishing and getting exciting new opportunities and if you haven't found your thing yet it can seem like you're falling behind the crowd. To this I say don't worry, a key part of uni and transitioning into adulthood is learning more about yourself and what you want for your future. It's a time to gain ideas from people and meet potential collaborators but it is also a good time to try out different things, pursue something that scares you because even if you fail at it, you have time to recover. I know what it's like to look at your peers and feel like you're not doing anything or to look at them doing well in something your interested i...

Speaking wealth into your life

Many people spend thousands of pounds every year on going to wealth conferences but luckily for you I'm going to explain one of their most taught processes that helps aid you in becoming wealthy. It is called speaking wealth into your life or a mantra and I will be sharing a few of the benefits of having one. A mantra is simply a few statements that you recite every morning when you wake up that helps put you in the right a frame of mind. (I will be talking about how the way you think about money influences the amount you will get next week, so be looking out for that). It is almost like a reminder of what you want to achieve. Writing a mantra is quite easy but first you have to identify which financial goals you want to achieve. If you want to be financially free then a mantra you could say is "I am financially free and I have no debts" . By saying this every morning it helps you to truly believe it and get more into the rich person mindset. It can also inspire you ...
