There is a trend to go offline and this adds a different context to computing. For a lot of people, nothing has changed. They understand what social media and online dating is but they don't really interface with humanity that way.
Social media has the following purposes:
Make online friends, graph your friend network, comment on celebrity or public figure profiles, publish short marketing excerpts, do something fun.
A video profile is fun because the molecules that retrace the scenery in the capture device are consistent, but sometimes alter their algorithm. This can affect facial expressions, voice timings, lighting, and eye contact. Lookup stable difussion.
Step 1 is create an account. It doesn't need to have anything on it. Its ok to upload and delete or upload and replace. For example, you can upload 20 short videos, and replace them with alternate versions each week. You can upload 1 new video each week and leave it there long term. Don't assume forever.
Step 2 is to tell people about your video profile. Let them know you have videos available and encourage them to watch or upload their own videos. The more people watch a video, the more consistency there is in the overall stream.
Sample Video Profiles
A lot of people have more than 1 video profile. Consider this only if you have lots of videos and each profile has a separate theme. One theme across two profiles works well for lots of videos too but there needs to be consistency in the publishing schedule, you'll know if something needs tuning, it will feel a little off.
