QUICK INTERNET RANT
I had vlogged for a short while in 2012/2013 but stopped once I stopped using my phone to vlog & bought a camera for the specific reason of vlogging. Then came the nightmare of converting (files constantly rejected) & uploading. After a few videos & several rejected videos, I decided to quit something I enjoyed.
However, Back in November I was in a Musical called Nunset Boulevard. TO help me practice I literally recorded hundreds of videos of me rehearsing and what not and uploaded them to Youtube, sharing the links with my Acting coach & mainly doing it so I could have easy access to footage of myself and figure out what I was doing well/poorly/right/wrong etc. I was shocked at how easy & fast everything uploaded! I could literally 20 short videos & upload half of them within hours. Heck I didn't even have huge problems uploading 10 minute long videos.
So I thought hey I loved it the first time around let's try it again since this was a breeze. I began to pick up from where I left off and started vlogging & posting publicaly to Youtube once more. As of the past few weeks I am saddened that my enjoyable hobby has become a HUGE BATTLE between me, my computer, my camera, and my Beloved Youtube!
Tonight was the last straw & I am Going to be calling my internet provider tomorrow. Internet has gotten pretty terrible since they last came and "fixed it" (mistake they caused whilst installing digital cable.) Ever since the cable guy killed the internet & someone else returned to fix it. Uploading has become a serious struggle. 4-5 minute videos take several hours to upload.
And it's not a camera setting issue or editing the files. My camera setting hasn't changed since November and I can't edit to save my life.
So whatever they did to the internet has literally made it a thousand times worse. Even my phone can barely connect to WiFi decently so I'm mostly using my flipping 4g.
So disappointed. Maybe for the next few uploads I will just freaking tether my phone and connect to it's WiFi. ..
ABSOLUTELY disheartened that a video that was literally 4:53 seconds took just under 10 and a half hours to UPLOAD. -_-
