Until now I never thought there could be anything worse than Gregg Wallace or Mrs Brown's Boys, I was wrong. It was awful, not only was it less than informative, it was all about themselves, with half the footage showing them talking, and looking at each other, accompanied by a very poor attempt at humor. If this is an example of "above average quality" vlogs, it confirms my original assessment of such presentations. If you wish to see the New Breed of middle class boaters/Vloggers check these New Vloggers out. These two come across as desperate to be on the Social Media Platform. Even have a weekly Pod Cast to tell the world of their experience of living in a Marina for a month, a shop for their merchandise (even though they have never been out yet or through a lock) and the obligatory Donations page (to pay for the running costs of their new car and residential Marina mooring) https://www.lovelifetriumph.co.uk/ Never seen anyone who has just bought a boat wanting it so much (Not the boating life but Social Media acceptance) Total Pantomime performances and tragic that a couple of their age are trying so hard to be accepted by the other Media boaters. They must dream of being like “Foxesafloat” A sad reflection of what seams important to new boaters no matter what age.?

For somebody who clearly holds vloggers and podcasters in such disdain you do seem to go to some considerable lengths to seek them out and view/listen to them. Why not leave them to get on with their lives whilst you get on with yours? You might be old enough to remember Mary Whitehouse who used to get all upset and angry about pornography on TV and in other media. The answer to her back then is the same as the answer to you. Perhaps don't watch it? Edited January 9, 2021 by The Happy Nomad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Disdain is going a bit over the top Martin, FYA I know a few high profile Vloggers who I talk to regular.

The Vloggers above are trying too hard to be Vloggers <snip> know little about living on the canals. But it doesn't really matter, surely? There is no set criteria that one must or should fulfil to post a vlog, it is simply that, a video blog... - Some viewers who are new to boating may want to see vlogs from others who are also new to boating, perhaps they can relate moreso to their vlogs? Conversely, experienced boaters may not find vlogs posted by inexperienced boaters to be of interest and may look for content uploaded by likeminded individuals. Choice is a great thing imo. Horses for courses, as they say. Live and let live. Edited January 10, 2021 by RichM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagedamager Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 As a point of discussion...... surely if these vloggers make money from "hits" on their videos, that surely classes as an income and as such I would like to.assume they would have a roving trader licence??? As this is becoming more popular I wonder if CRT will change their licence terms to include vloggers...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This came up in another thread about vlogging and it is possible to interpret the current business licence conditions in that way. Its not explicit though, so I suspect when CRT catch on they will make it so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know the details of the trader licence with CRT but surely vloggers are not selling from their boat so no licence needed - they are in the class of working from home on a domestic insurance policy (such as computer work) so all covered?

That is how I personally interpret it yes. You can do things like draw up wills etc. and send stuff electronically, much like posting a video on you tube to me. Others may have a different view. The wording of the licence is in this post. Edited January 10, 2021 by The Happy Nomad To add a link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Agreed some of the Vlogs are hard work and all have boring parts but the drone filming in some is excellent and well worth watching. Like TV, one always has the option of the ON/OFF button or fast forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigmatic Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 tbh if I had a vlog sufficiently popular for Amazon to be paying me to make it, I doubt I'd bother promoting in a forum that already knows about it, already knows about boating and seems to be disproportionately angry about the whole idea of people videoing themselves boating and putting it on the internet now when I need subscribers six, seven and eight for my first series of How Not To Narrowboat things might be different... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
