When people post on social media (especially YouTube) and use titles that don't relate to the content, it puts me off and I tend not to want to watch it.
I used to watch all my favourite YouTubers as soon as they uploaded a new video even if I didn't like the sound of the title - just because it was that person! But now I look at the title and if I'm uninterested, I won't watch it. It might be a brilliant video but it doesn't matter because they biggest thing that could describe it (the title) is unrelated.
Also, the description box (again on YouTube) People now only put "Follow me on Twitter *insert link*" in the description box rather than whatever the video is actually about so I can't get an idea of what to expect or take away from the video. Tell me what your message is, what will I learn from this three minute video or is it just a waste of three minutes of my life that I could use to make my own content?
Let me know your opinions in the comments! (I hope this post makes sense!)

New here?
Hi! For starters it would be a good idea to make a small introduction video telling about yourself and your motivation for doing this and post it here! That way we know who everyone is. After that, you can follow the weekly themes and challenges and make videos with us!
Hi! For starters it would be a good idea to make a small introduction video telling about yourself and your motivation for doing this and post it here! That way we know who everyone is. After that, you can follow the weekly themes and challenges and make videos with us!
What to do:
Every week(end) try to upload the video based on the theme or challenge assigned. Interpretation is always free and up to you, if you don't feel like doing it the usual way, give it your twist! You don't have to do it every week if you don't have the time, or you can make loads more. It's all up to you!

Uploading and Channels:
You'll upload it on your own channel, and then you can post the link here so everyone involved can see all the videos.
There's a document in the files tab with all the participating channels, if yours isn't on there yet, add a comment (tag me) or message me!
Try to upload before the end of the week. Not everyone has free time on the same days so try to find your own schedule. If you miss it sometimes, that's fine too! It's all for fun.

Names and Labeling:
To make the videos easier to find, try to put Hopetube in your video titles, descriptions and labels / tags. That way, people can search for Hopetube and they'll easily find all the videos we made together!
If you want to keep the same way of titling as most hopetubers, try using "Hopetube | Title of your video"

Themes and Challenges:
If you have any nice themes or challenges you'd love to do, comment / post it somewhere and if we've haden't had it yet or not for a long while, I'll put it in the scheme!

Important stuff:
Watch out with copyrighted footage and music, if you want to easily find music, try searching for royalty free music, there's loads of it around. Also youtube has a creator studio with loads.

Social Media - Good or bad?
Essena ONeill and Dodie Clark have great videos about what social media is doing to people. We don't interact anymore with people in the street or at the park or wherever we are. We just use social media to talk and we need to find a balance.
I believe social media is good and bad. It is an industry that is thriving! It is a place to share your thoughts and ideas with people across the globe that you wouldn't have had the chance to talk to otherwise. But it's also an industry that is exploiting people, people become popular on Instagram for having the "perfect" body in the eyes of our society. These people don't even feel happy within themselves because they're constantly being judged and criticised by people that don't even know them.
I think these videos need to be spread, their messages are important. We are being consumed by social media and we need to step back and live in the moment. Enjoy our lives, not for the views, likes or followers but for ourselves.
What is your opinion?
