Video Bigger Than Messenger
Of course video is popular because we use it on smart phones iPads etc. You would think that the messenger app would be up there with video somewhat because most of us send and receive messages.

This is just an old medium being replaced by a newer one. 

Instead of people watching broadcast television, they watch on Facebook. That's going to give the company considerable clout over the next few years.

Re: Video Bigger Than Messenger
@dcawrey The reason Zuckerberg is taking so much time with this, is he's not sure whether video is really going to add that much to his coffers. How does he plan to really differentiate? Users already use their phones to watch video.

Re: Video Bigger Than Messenger
srufolo1 - I think facebook is struggling with that a little. It's (arguably) been a bit slower to get into the premium video game because its not really sure how it can create a video experience that best fits Facebook engagement. Right away, I think traditional 60-min dramas are out, there's no real opportunity for FB there. What it wants is short, bite-sized pieces of video content that spur social interaction, sharing, reccomendations and commentary. So something like the highlights of a game, or near-real-time video clips of goals or touchdowns that users can get on their cellphones and respond to, share or tag friends etc.

@srufolo1 - Realistically thouh, even video capabilites and messenger combine, because you can make video calls with Facebook Messenger. My husband and I used it last year when I was having an ultrasound he couldn't come to because of work. We even tried using the video calling our phones offered but it wouldn't connect right. Only Facebook messenger seemed to work for our locations.

Re: Video Bigger Than Messenger
batye  - I think messenger is still a very important part of FBs strategy, but I think in terms of monetization, it's easier to sell video ads, and you can charge a lot more for them -- specially with the targetting that FB is working towards. And high quality video content -- even if its in short formats -- will (arguably) drive larger viewers/users in more predictable patterns. So again, value for advertisers.

Re: Video Bigger Than Messenger
@Adi - I agree, content that is geared towards specific users is a lot more cost-effective for advertisers than any ad that any and everybody will see. I still have no idea why Facebook decided I'd be a good target for an ad about a 6 child stroller, but as a mother with 3 under the age 5, I'm sure it's a lot more targeted to me, then say a 60-year-old, single male with no kids. Even if it did freak me out. And video ads always grab attention better than a single picture ad. So all around, the idea is valuable, even if it's one those of us in the general public would rather ignore.

Here we are now, entertain us!
I think Zuckerberg's intuition is probably right on, for a reason that many in our industry are unlikely to think of: lots of people really prefer to be passive receivers rather than active transmitters, and prefer to be "social" only in the sense of consuming the same thing all together -- not of making it together. The market for passive video is intrinsically much larger. It's just that the industry is still in the early stages where people are still coming in, and early adopters are more active than the population that will be moving in after them.

User generated video...
I keep seeing the rise of "user generated video" -- but what I'm actually seeing is mostly semi-professional video, not "user generated" video. The occasional viral video from "Chewbacca mom" sometimes pops up, but I think most of the views are still from people trying to produce videos for income, not just the occassional random video share.

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.

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

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.

Agreed! But it's expensive to produce high-quality content, generally. Vimeo just recently announced that it's not going to pursue a Netflix-original programming strategy for precisely that reason -- it's way too expensive to do correctly. Only the tech/media giants can afford to do it, and there's still a pretty big chance of failing. eg Apple's first attempts at producing content so far.....

I'm not saying it always takes a lot of money to produce good videos. Kevin Smith made Clerks for a pretty low budget. But it's not easy to do. I think there's a studio that exclusively produces low budget films and it does okay. So it's not impossible. http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/09/11/439632877/episode-650-the-scariest-thing-in-hollywood

Copying Netflix's strategy of creating or licensing original content that can appeal to mass audiences isn't an easy path. Vimeo recently announced that it was abandoning its plans to copy Netflix and to focus on its prosumer video tools instead. Vimeo made this choice because it saw how much it would need to invest-- and the risk if the shows it bet on turned out to be flops.

Netflix's business model is somewhat tricky. It has to provide more value than the ever-growing availability of pirated content. With PopcornTime making streaming videos increasingly competitive, it's a real risk to Netflix and any other copyright holder. Presumably, though, most consumers are looking for legit content, and pirated content will never quite be as convenient as getting it straight from the source. However, it seems that Netflix is one of the few media companies to understand this -- and it releases its new series all at once to avoid the piracy problem of competition. Movie release windows will probably be obsolete someday, but only Netflix and a few other studios act like they know it.

> " I feel like Netflix saves their DVD's by mail for the movies that I REALLY want to watch.."

Netflix doesn't save the "good content" for its DVD by mail service. It actually has a better selection of DVDs because it doesn't need to license them. Netflix can just buy up DVDs from any legit source and mail them to you. But the "streaming rights" for most movies are more tightly controlled. 

Interestingly, I think copyright law actualy forbids a "Netflix for music" -- in that it's illegal to mail people LP records instead of DVDs..... (Though who would want to..?)

Re: User generated video...
Never a dull moment--between Disney telling Neflix to take a hike..and now Altice wanting to take over Charter (as Charter said no to Sprint)--transformation on a massive scale before our very eyes!!

As the dust settles, anxious to see the view of the Community..."Virtually Breathless"!!

Although yes, BUT, check this out too to see how things are changing--at the startup I work for, Daily Outsider, we're heavy users of IPhone as we can't afford the "fancy stuff" right now!!

..as you and others within the TT Community realize, no one is sitting idly by--and newsy (part of Scripps) got together w/Discovery--so there is a realization that they all have to transform!!!

Re: User generated video...
@mpouraryan - I think there is a lot of newer technology that is allowing people to create videos that look more on the professional side, while be accessible to people who can't really afford the professional software. I have a few apps on my phone that let me do simple editing to some of my videos. When your subjects tend to be toddlers, who are un-cooperative by nature, those apps are extremely useful.

Blocking MLM
Blocking MLM videos would be FANTASTIC - but if I had to bet, it'll never happen. There are far too many users out there doing it, and realistically, I don't see there being anything against the rules in doing so. Normally they have their own separate "business" pages for them and run the Live Videos through there. Truthfully, I did agree to follow their business pages, because I'm too nice. I suppose I could low-key go through and unfollow the pages and most wouldn't notice. Or maybe they would when they went on the hunt for new customers and they'd come back and pitch to me again. Heaven help us all.

Re: Blocking MLM
Ah, well, Facebook will probably adjust its algorithms so that you don't see those videos in your newsfeed as much if you tend to skip over their videos, anyway.... 

If only there were a longer-term solution to the problem of MLM schemes?

We must never be "Scared"--becasue as FDR reminded us, the only thing to fear is fear itself.   That's also another implicit message about Transformation as i alluded to earlier.

Re: Blocking MLM
It is, frankly, the toughest thing--but there is no choice.    The idea, for instance, that even phones may be obsolete within the next five years and everything is embedded--curious to see what the TT Community thinks about this--if this is not "Transformation"--not sure what is?

Zuckerberg
Zuckerberg has been very lucarative with creating Facebook, but it seems like now you need to pay for add-ons on games and other things I came across.  There is not much we can do about the add-ons and things on Facebook now.  I just do what I usually do and not pay for anything.

As far as Netflix goes I have used them in the past and it was only for streaming the movies.  I never did the DVD part.  As far qas the streaming goes it was alright in the the beginning but died out after 6 months.  I actually found hulu to be a tiny better than Netflix.  well my family likes it.  I personally download movies to my travel drive and watch them.  :)
