I currently have 138 subscribers on my current channel, so my video would definitely appear on their feed. As mentioned before, there are people out there looking for video game review videos, specifically gamers, and those people are the ones I would attract with my video and upcoming future videos. In the article by Christine T. Wolf, the author talks about homophily, which she defines as “the concept that people favor those perceived to be similar to themselves,” (Wolf, 2016). Wolf basically explained that people tend to look for things, in our case videos, that are similar to them or what they like. Another example mentioned in the article talks about algorithms. That is another way of users can find my video because similar to homophily, algorithms will show online users videos of similar interests on their feed. The internet collects user data or cookies based on searches and videos we’ve watched, and similar videos to mine that people have watched before will help my video show up on their feeds. My videos are intended for gamers looking to purchase or get the game I am reviewing, and the tutorial I made is a good start for me to upload more videos of reviews. People, or gamers, would find it worth watching because even though there are already a couple of review videos on YouTube, new videos, especially short ones like the one I just uploaded, would definitely attract them more because people prefer to watch something short. Of course I could also share my videos on my social media, and that’s another way of sharing my video.
