HAPPY PRIDE MONTH. #PrideMonthSeries

Hi! My first ever A2A for you. Hope the questions are sensible and intriguing.

Let me talk about BL content creators today. 

We have often discuss about BL Series, the technical aspects of Filmmaking, and perhaps to a fair extent the controversies surrounding the BL industry. But I'm not sure if enough is discussed about the kind of BL content made by fans from around the world.

I'm sure we have our own liking, depending on the kind of the content that's made, and how it interests us. Be it FMV (Fan Made Videos), Clickbait Videos, Reviews, or anything else,...thanks to every form of Social Media, every content creator has an audience. 

Unfortunately,...most of the audience lean more towards "Clickbaity" videos, that are purposely made to generate more views, rather than focussing on the content. I can take examples of various channels that would purposely make videos on either controversies about the BL actors, or their sexuality. And strangely,...fans too watch these kind of content, and give views to videos that isn't going to be helpful to the BL community in way possible,...but makes the content creator rich for sure. 

Not sure how many content creators take these things seriously,...but they can be sued for damaging the reputation of actors if ever the videos comes into their notice. And with Mew and Build's case,...it's been made pretty evident that actors do take things seriously, and can initiate legal actions against toxic fans, who instigate hatred for their own personal benefit or gratification.

So,...my questions to you are as follows:

What kind of BL videos you prefer to watch that's made by a content creator?

What is your view on those channels, the sole purpose of which is to only make "clickbait" videos (no matter the content), and generate money through views?

What percentage of BL content creators do you think are serious about the kind of content they make, and how it influences the minds of the audience?

Do you like the usual "Robotic Voice" used by many, or would you prefer a natural voice of a "Voice Over Artist"?

What do you expect from a BL channel that makes BL content?

Which BL channels would you recommend to your followers through this question? And why?

If you are given an option to suggest something to a BL content creator, what would your suggestion be, based on your viewing experience?

As a BL fan,...do you like watching short-form vertical videos or long-form horizontal videos

And,...what kind of topic intrigues you as an audience, that you really want a BL content creator to make a video on?

Thanks!

First off thanks for all the really good questions and I’m gonna try my very best to give you some really good answers, also I really appreciate all the the context and information given before hand :) so to begin.....

1. Personally my favorite kind of of BL videos to watch are typically only FMV edits of BL characters/ couples

2. I think the channels whose sole purpose is clickbait are fine I suppose as long as they are not Blatantly lying and spreading insane rumors because I worry of some people taking it and running with it, I like to assume most people who watch these videos don’t take a lot the information to heart maybe do some of their own looking around but I’m sure there is certain amount of people who just take it at face value

3. I’m not sure of an exact percentage but I definitely believe there are some people who hear one rumor or read one thing and make a whole video off that alone (especially the short form vertical ones) so like very little research is being done but I also think there are people do extensive digging to try to find out of the actual information to put out to their audiences and I think people like that are really thinking about how it may influence their followers

4. I think I would prefer a natural voice over artist because I trust it more for some reason, I guess it just feels more personable that way

5. What I expect from BL channels are more information based stuff like upcoming shows, or rumored shows, or rumor casts, or when shows wrap or begin to film, stuff like that, I don’t care about actors sexuality rumors or who they’re dating rumors that’s gossip and I’m just not in it for that

6. I really don’t have a go to channel to recommend because I have VERY RARELY watch these sort of videos

7. I suppose my suggestion is that they are Just making sure they are getting all the facts and information and that they’re are thinking critically how what they are saying are going affect the minds of their audience

8. I prefer a long form horizontal video because I feel like I just get more from that

9. Personally I would want less actor/rumored based and more based on shows and stuff that has to do with the shows and I guess a little controversy based as well because I suppose it is good to know if an actor did/ is doing something problematic but I just hope it to be based in truth and well research, I guess I just have a hard time fully believing solely on a video
