Is it just me or are there far too many videos of DJ's filming themselves in their bedroom standing facing a wall on their decks doing some boring ass mix, with nothing in the video but a pair of turntables and their hands doing well, not really very much. And to top it off they are always using either traktor or serato so you don't even see any records being changed. It's always minimal or tech house too so the mixes seem to drag on and on. Nothing exciting ever happens and for some crazy unexplainable reason a vast majority of them have 5 stars, which is the reason I clicked on it in the first place. So I sit and watch and after about 5 minutes I realise nothing else is going to happen, and there's still another 5 minutes to go! That's when I stop watching and I come to the realisation that I just wasted 5 minutes of my life and feel the need to vent my frustration in a DJ forum.
I don't get it, the videos are boring as hell and youtube sound quality is pants. With the amount of time and effort it took to set up a video camera why not just record the audio and post that on the net for people to listen to and possibly download in a much better quality?
And who the hell gives them 5 stars anyway?
Damn it!
