Vlogging Friends Minus the Vlog

Vlogging Friends Minus the Vlog

Jeremy is back home from LA for a few weeks and raised an interesting theory on vloggers and vlogging relationships. Could we be friends without the vlog uniting us? I propose we put the theory to the test. Tag it "" if you dare.

Vlogging makes the world go round.. you either get on the ride or end up standing at the exit holding everyone's bag! lol!..

Just kidding.. i don't even know what actually makes the world go round. so for now i'm going to stick with vlogging

I agree with Jer. Vlogging makes wierd relationships . . . funny vlog though. Favorite line: "Jeremey, I think you setting me up for failure!"

Des said...

hmm.. I dunno.

According to wikipedia, when you look up the word friend this comes up "Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friend

I think Jermey's 'theory' is based on the 'fact' that he doesn't enjoy vlogging. You should ask him to get together with one of this friends and minus something they both enjoy doing.

Now this would be a good test for love interests. So if two vloggers think their falling in love, are they only falling in love because they are used to the edited versions of each other???

I have to agree with Des. Also, our vlogs are an expression of ourselves. Therefor, I wouldn't say it's unhealthy to desire friendship with a person because you enjoy their vlog.

I think you need to do some brainwashing on Jeremy. The dynamic between you two is too good to be left unrecorded.

More hilarity please.

Hi, I just stumbled across this vlog (its how I procrastinate from writing over-due papers). I tend to agree with the wikipedia definition of friends that was posted above. One major thing that two vloggers have in common is that they vlog. That doens't mean they dont have other reasons to not be friends.

For example: before I got into vlogging, I blogged a lot. And that is how I met my boyfriend, through our blogs (how dorky does that sound... ick). We've been together for over a year, and although it started with the blogs and the internet chatting, it grew into something much more than that. And we still do things like vlogging together (way easier than blogging together). But those aren't the only reasons we like each other. So I think your friend's theory is shot, and I think that if you have friends that have vlogging in common, then enjoy that! :)

I think I could be your friend, even w/o the vlogs. You seem like a fun person to be with :-)

Even if he is right and vloggers aren't compatible people in person, we still enjoy each other's content and respect the creative part of their personality. I know for a fact that there are some vloggers whose content I love but I think I would hate them in person and that's OK. The point is that these people are making my day a little bit better by giving me something to watch and that's good enough for me.

Great video,

I agree with Des and Laura. Vlogging is a shared interest. It is part of who we are, in ways. It should not be, nor do I think it is the only reason vloggers like one another. Vlogging captures parts of who we are in whatever aspects of life we share. In that way we get to know others. Vlogging, though an intersest shared, is also a means of communicating who we are and getting to know one another. It is not necessary for friendships with other vloggers but can serve to enhance and suppliment those friendships in many ways.
