John Heisz - Speakers and Audio Projects | You Hurt My Feelings! @IBuildIt | Uploaded 10 months ago | Updated 8 hours ago
This IS NOT me complaining about comments! I LOVE getting comments, both ones that praise and the ones that criticize or point out mistakes. Please listen to what I say in the video!
A bit of a sidetrack into human psychology to look at the unspoken interaction a viewer on YouTube has with the person making the video.
Even though you may not recognize it, there is an immediate reaction to the perceived status ranking each has.
That can play out for the viewer three ways:
- increased respect.
- neutral (neither more or less respect)
- a feeling of resentment, depending upon how the viewer as an individual usually responds to someone that he thinks is above him or is doing better than he is - more prosperous or in a more favourable position.
It can also depend upon whether the viewer agrees or disagrees with what the person making the video is saying.
But one thing is common, and that's the unconscious (or conscious) perception of a hierarchy where the viewer is below the person making the video in status.
Of course this only really applies to people who watch YouTube videos regularly and are familiar with the platform.
A casual viewer probably won't be subject to the status dynamic, since he may not see anything special about making videos, and may actually look down on those of us that do.
In any case, most people who make videos here (eventually) see the viewers as I describe.
That's not to say they consciously look down on them, but they won't be affected by the things the viewers say in the same way as the viewer would be affected, if the criticism is put back on them.
Saying that another way, it's possible for me to hurt your feelings, but nearly impossible for you to hurt mine.
My higher status means my opinion is more important to you than yours is to me.
Sounds harsh, I know, but that's just the way it is. That's how us humans operate.
