the internet basically has short-term memory. And I think our guilty pleasure is watching content like this, we may think oh its cringe, what are they doing but secretly, we enjoy watching some content be it for reasons such as, oh my life isnt going well but atleast im better than them or somebody who needs drama in their life, and us Indians, have a great appreciation for drama. At the end of the day, people dont like everything, they see a viral clip, laugh about it then just forget about it, but the content creator wishes to experience the fame again, so they continue going down that spiral of making cringier and cringier content. Its just a way to make people start talking about them again. Well after all, it's us only, the audience who promotes these things, but then lose interest and just forget about it once a new trend comes along.

One of the main reasons people form para social relationships is when they know about background and personal story. As of Vedant I don't see the case so... for good or bad, it is hard to form para social relationship with Vedant ✨

Hi Vedant, just wanted to say that I've been loving your content lately! I'm a textile design student and I usually have your videos playing in the background while I'm working. It's such a treat! Keep going!

[@jahnvisingh8015]

The greatest achievement for a creator is a strong community, which is created only when you add some value to the viewer's life. The best example I see is of Vlogbrothers (Hank Green and John Green), which have a youtube presence of over 15 years. Their community Nerdfighteria is probably the few places where you don't see any hate comments, and learn so much from each other, one of the few places of solace on the internet.

The points that you have mentioned are absolutely right. We as a audience are only interested in various dramas as a source of entertainment to fill the gaps in our life.

[@iamsriharirao]

The problem is... Repetitive content. Simple example... We all are watching movies and love some stars and become fan for them. But what if they make same category and type of movies then we loose interest on them. So, the simple terms... Viral content name its self is viral. So its short time fun. If any youtuber needs popularity they need to concentrate on content, quality of presentation, and ongoing changes in the world and people mindset. No matters what ever career we choose, constant learning is required to run along with this world.

The Internet could come in use as a kind of source to put forward information that could bring even a little hint of what are the actual rights of people, but it's also that exact place that has been turned into something where people are on their own. They could slam someone and they could also allow someone to overcome at their senses where they would stand after somebody who didn't have anything, but that's the public. We live under the outlook of the public, but you must concentrate and make yourself identify the values. That you could set up whether people appreciate it or not, the public who could appreciate anything. How come they would understand something knowledgeable straightaway and when it is the subcontinental people.
