i tend to agree with mister schlomo.
depends what your "personal videos" are too.
are they produced, artistic, entertaining, stylistic?
or are they talking head vids with the primary purpose of basic
communication?
if the latter, than i dont know if that can be called an art form.
it's a video message.
unless you are being fake.  still, i wouldnt consider it art.

Actually, I think for personal vlogging its even more so that face-to-face
interaction helps readership to your blog.  Well, that, and just being a
part of various communities.
I would be hard-pressed to think that someone actually watches my personal
vids without knowing me on some sort of level.  Otherwise, why would you?
 My personal videoblog was made primarily for my Mom to keep up with me; its
something that only friends would really be interested in
watching/commenting.

The personal revolution is not dead, its just PERSONAL. small, intimate.

In my dreams, decisions connected to the quality of creative output are made
by anonymous judges looking at submissions in which the author's names have
been blacked out to avoid any "who you know" bias whatsoever.
In my naive youth, I assumed people at least tried to act as though that
were the case because of course everyone wants quality and hard work, not
social skills and personal popularity, to be determine what gets through the
gates.

Now I am old and cynical and know, too late,  that It is so. not. true.
