You are very correct in saying this is all besides the point. Note, I did not start the topic. I did however decide to share my PERSONAL OPINION (sorry, can't underline) as to why a theme-based vlog rose to the top of the VlogMap-FeedBurner stats in their first week of being listed. Which type of site is better? I don't care- it is obviously up to each viewer to decide. What do I prefer to watch? Content that I can relate to, content that educates me and/or content that shows me something different than that in my life. What type of site is most likely to gain more readers (aka be more "popular")? In my opinion, that would be themed content because a a particular subject will relate to more people than an individual. Don't get me wrong, I see the value in personal videos and truly believe in the historical documentation and enjoyment it will provide to our offspring. I wish there were videos of my grandparents when they were young, but would others care to watch my grandparents? Probably not - they'd want to see their own. Sorry if this is harsh, but I already subscribe to too many vlogs whose subject is the life of an American white male. I just do not have the time to keep up with each person's life anymore, and there are 3-10 vloggers added to VlogMap each day. My point is that I began looking for vlogs that were based on subjects that I enjoy and found very few (if any). That makes me frustrated. Oh well, I guess it is back to my TV if I want themed content. Again, just my opinion.
