Vlogging in Our Generation
Vlogs can be anything like a day in the life, get ready with me, unboxing packages, reviews on products and much more. I personally find vlogs so entertaining and love the varieties of various subjects. My favorite types of vlogs are day in the life vlogs because you get to see so many adventures that people go on.
Although blogging is still very popular, the younger generation has turned to vlogging as the primary source of hearing about people's lives and what they are up to. Because of this, many influencers take up vlogging over blogging. A vlog is simply a blog in video format, and teens and young adults these days would much rather watch a video than read an article. Occasionally, some influencers still keep a blog and insert a vlog about the subject they are speaking on in their article.
Although I personally watch vlogs on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, vlogs became popular when YouTube started in 2005. These platforms have made various communities of people all over the world able to connect and learn about each other. Approximately 44% of internet users watch vlogs every month (Media Kix).
Social Media has brought us into a new age where we can have so many different ways to create content and entertainment. Vlogs are especially popular due to their authenticity, easy engagement and easy access to watch. I will always advocate for vlogs as a means to create memories to look back on one day as an extremely sentimental individual. So if you are ever bored and want some easy entertainment, maybe hop on one of those social media platforms and watch some vlogs!

I completely agree that vlogs tend to be more interesting. I think that it's because of the visuals as opposed to blogs which is more reading or podcasts which typically aren't filmed.
