Re: User generated video...
@afwriter - that's true too. Any of my friends currently has the great fortune of watching me sing "Johnny, Johnny, yes Papa" with my two-year-old. Guaranteed to be a YouTube success.... just as soon as everyone runs out of more interesting things to watch. But gosh darnit that kid is adorable! (No bias whatsoever.)

I am subject to them every day thanks to one over-zealous Facebook friend. I would love if Facebook found a way to block it.

I think that any parent can echo what Adi said here. I put a lot of videos of my kids on Facebook for family to watch, and while they are still there, no one is watching them.

Re: Video Bigger Than Messenger
Don't forget the importance (and slight irony?) of using messenger to trade videos.

@mhhf1ve While I do think user-generated video is a low-cost way for Facebook to have lots of content, the good stuff is of pro quality. Somehow Facebook knows how to place the better stuff in timelines.

Re: User generated video...
I *have* seen that DisneyCollector Youtuber -- who apparently makes 6-figures or more because kids just can't get enough of her unboxing toys. I'm curious how long that kind of income will last.... and as you say, it's not as easy as it looks. It's also the basis of my theory that "UGC" is really this kind od semi-pro video where people are doing it for the money and *sometimes* getting a viral hit.

Re: User generated video...
elizabethv - Wow. I'm glad I haven't seen any Facebook Live videos of MLM ads! I had *one* friend try to get into MLM, but luckily I talked him out of it before he really started. I had no idea that MLM on FB live was a thing! I assume FB is working on an automated way to flag/block those videos...

Re: User generated video...
@Adi - I don't know that the more popular stuff on YouTube is necessarily semi-professional and/or interesting. Or maybe that just depends on your definition of interesting. Because some of the videos my kids watch are ridiculously popular and they all have the same common theme - make me contemplate my death. (Kind of sort of kidding.) Admittedly we tried to make a video of my son opening a play-doh egg, to see if it would come to anything. It didn't. I learned later there's an art to getting videos to show near the beginning of a YouTube search. So in that respect, I suppose that's where the semi-professional would come in. But watching another kid play with toys - is far from interesting. To adults anyway. Lol

@mhhf1ve - If you haven't seen much by-way of user generated video, I feel like you should count yourself lucky as not having a lot of friends who are in the MLM business. Or they are, but aren't bugging you with it. Either way - I see that as a win-win. My newsfeed is plastered in "Facebook Live" videos of my friends trying to sell me weight-loss shakes, make-up, age defying face creams and let's not forget LulaRoe!!!! Yay $60 Leggings! The MLM sellers are relentless and endless - literally.

Re: User generated video...
mhhf1ve - a lot of UGC content is for family and friends. People shoot something via their phones and then upload or live stream it via FB, Snapchat etc.  Or it's used for communication, like Facetime. There's a fair bit of stuff on YouTube as well, but that's a mix as you say. I also think that we are more likely to see more popular stuff on YouTube, as that rises to the top -- and that's more likely to be more professionals/semi-professional stuff which is higher quality and more interesting. Every once in a while, an amatuer video goes viral, but mostly those videos tend to be seen by family and friends and then disappears into a void because no one else cares.
