Opinion: Rating your own videos?

Post by downwithpants » Thu Sep 04, 2003 8:14 pm

Do you rate your own videos?
Do you think it's a good idea?
If you don't, do you think it should be disallowed?

I don't rate my videos and I don't think it's a good idea because:
1.) There could be many things in the video that would make sense to me as a creator, such as scene selection, but would make little sense to other viewers
2.) There is a high level of bias, both conscious and unconscious, when I view my own work.

If creators have something to say about their videos, they can just write it in the description. Well, I'm just annoyed by creators who give themselves all 10s just to get on the top video boards.

There are also creators who are just overjoyed by "the release of my new AMV!!OMG!!:p" I think creators shouldn't be allowed to rate their most recent video until they've created a new one, or a 2 month period perhaps, so that they at least have a clearer perspective on their works.

What's your opinion?

I wouldn't post any in the opinion sections of my videos, but rather write one up in the video's comments. That way, the score is left to other people besides yourself.

Vash mentions it in a few eps. Curse my lack of watching it recently, or else I'd know the correct episodes. :cry:

You are your own worst critic.

Sadly, most of the people that do give themselves opinions seem to be exceptions to the rule, since they generally op their own vids in order to stroke their egos.
Everyone is not the same as you.
Get over it.
And lighten up.

Personally I think giving yourself an opinion is just pathetic. What is even more pathetic is when people create alternate accounts and then rate their vids thinking that they're clever.
