I've put up 100+ youtube. I am always annoyed by the ferrets that try to monetize by claiming copyright infringement. I create my own music or buy music with releases. One outfit Orchid is all over the place claiming thousands of infringements. I even recorded a rams horn being blown *shofar. Someone tried to claim that.

Youtube wants to pump revenue is why I think they let these ferrets pull these stunts. I challenge all of them, and remove any content that is claimed. I remove content because I don't have time to fight with them, and they don't have to do anything. They make a claim and it takes alot of research and information to defeat those claims.

I'm really beginning to think audio podcasting may be the best route. People will listen longer and the production time is much less than videos. Yes, I know they say video is the future. I am not sure I buy that any longer. People have to stop what they are doing, watch and listen. Audio podcasting they can work, walk, treadmill, workout, eat, travel, drive and do a thousand other things while listening to audio.

Also, you can make an absolutely terrific content video and the average viewer only stays with it for about 2 minutes. Movie trailers are a perfect example 2 minutes 30 seconds is about the maximum length. The movie dudes know they can't keep viewers much over 2 minutes.

I've been working toward live video streaming, which I understand is somewhat better. I am now realizing you really have to have some super worthy content for success live streaming. I've bought most of the hardware including setting up with extra fast cable internet. I haven't activated the higher speed internet and I may forget about it.

I'm definitely not in a quandry. If things don't work as they should you can't let your expectations rule your common senses.

Confuse me if you will, or leave me be. I'm thinking audio podcasting is the way to go to build a brand, followed up with live audio streaming. Again, people can multi-task and listen, but viewing requires undivided attention of the viewers.

Maybe, I will just shoot videos of audio podcasting and live audio streaming and share them as I can. Yet, they will just be ancillary overflow or not that important to what I'm trying to do.

This is my thinking at this time. I would be interested to read what some other members might think on this, for sure.
