I didn't make any youtube video or something but I would love to try I to be honest I wanted to start my own youtube channel and post everyday videos related to motorcycles and previously games of course ;p.
My favourite viral video would be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRv7G7WpOoU
because it involves my favourite youtuber and snowboard.
I film a lot. I love documenting my life to see in the future how much has changed and how it was. I haven't posted any video to YouTube except one tutorial when I was 14. I don't know why but I have kind of barrier to put stuff on youtube. I was thinking a few times about vlogging but I didn't post anything.
My favorite viral video comes from Casey Neistat, a popular YouTuber that makes good content. You can find a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRv7G7WpOoU . I like this video because of the work that has been put on it and the Christmas atmosphere which is awesome.
No, I haven't tried to film videos and then post them on Youtube. I think making Youtube videos like hobby is not for everybody. There are too many "wannabe youtuber" people who think that it is a very easy way to get fame and become rich, but as it was mentioned in the comment above Youtube algorithms work a little bit strange. As far as I know if you want to stay relevant on platform then you should post videos almost every day and keep them 10 minutes long at a minimum. Not everybody can just sit and record videos for a whole day straight just to keep yourself "searchable" on Youtube.
I don't have any favorite viral videos although this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCgymPq-b2U) is pretty good although it's probably staged and fake.
I am afraid I don’t follow any tastemakers and I don’t even know who Jimmy Kimmel. This is mostly because I don’t find people interesting and I not into spending hours on social media.
I have never tried to film videos for YouTube. I am an introvert and I don’t have any drive to share anything with other people. What is more, I am not interested in creating movies or photography.
One of the viral movies I have seen was about cat Maru. I don’t remember how i have found it, but as i know it is quite popular, it has 15 million views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XID_W4neJo
I may have shot such videos, but only on my phone. I never put anything on the Internet. I guess I'm just not looking for fame :)
This video scored almost 6 million views, but it seems to me that I heard this song and saw a lot of parodies that for me this video became really viral.

Yes, I had a few attempts to recording videos on Youtube. There weren't successful, I mean they don't have many views even now, but I was fun, so I don't regret it. Actually one of them has helped around 4k people with running the game, there used to be a print error in the cd key which was in the game box. I was looking for a solution for days, and when I finally found it, I decided to record a video saying how you can solve it. I've got many positive comments and upvotes, so decisions to make a video of that was really worth it!
I don't have any viral video I can think of I can share right now :(
VIral videos tend to be viral only for a short period and after that, we forget about them, so probably that's why I cannot think of any thighr now.
2. Nope, not interested either.
3. Well... This guy is a living legend...

He started his YouTube career with this video and he still does vocal covers to this day.
- No, do not follow or check any tastemakers because I do not like that kind of entertainment.
2. Have you ever tried to film videos for YouTube or any other video platforms? If yes what was your experience? If not would you like to try?
- I have tried to create a parody of an old cartoon called "Pat & Mat". It was quite funny especial the process of editing the video in Windows Movie Maker and waiting one day to download the video from the internet to only find out it was not the episode I was looking for.
3. Share your favourite viral video :)
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqEzI9rPvP4 it was one of the first videos from How To Basic I have ever seen and I like it a lot how this simple idea evolved through years.
Once, I used to stream on the Twitch platform, I saw the potential, but without regularity, I could not go any further in this direction, so I gave up. It's not for me. I liked contact with audience and I had lot of fun about it.
I came across this movie on 9gag few months ago and to this day I’m still amazed with the courage of this man, I can watch him over and over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9zxPi93GsM
I have never tried to make my own video on youtube or another platform because I think that this is not mine. I like to watch some TV shows or music videos and it's enough for me.
Viral videos are useless. I always try do not watch them. But there is one music video that could be named viral from Russian band Little Big that I really like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDFBTdToRmw
No, I don't have time for checking tastemakers. If I have free time I like to spend it on reading books or chilling with my family, it's the best option for me. Hmm, I remember that I have created YouTube account when I was younger, probably at my primary school. I have uploaded some videos but nothing more. YouTube is normal profession and people have to spend full time on that. It's very hard to get subscriptions and followers so if you want to spend only part time of the day on your channel it's probably only waste of time because it's too little.
My best viral video? I don't prefer these movies but I remember: https://www.facebook.com/alcoiri/videos/10205433319331704/ (probably have to sign in). What do you think about that?
I have indeed uploaded a couple of videos to YouTube and one of them has even made it to 4.6 milion views. I like sharing and promoting comedy so I don’t have any problem with it. I find that experience exciting.
My favourite viral videos are basically „classic” ones from Polish YouTube, like „daj kamienia” or „jestem hardkorem”. I grew up with those and they have a sentimental value for me. :)
The more time passes the more strange this kind of video are posted. It is not usually that fun but everyone is quoting or parodying it. That is why some of them become so popular.
