Do you guys prefer a blog post or a youtube video when it comes to reviewing miniatures? Do you care as long as it has good pictures/video, painted and unpainted examples, and some kind of scale comparison? Or does the form of the content matter to you? |

Blog post usually, I don't often want to sit all the way through a video. Unless there is something you can show better through a video. A blog entry, I can skim, I can skip through, I can go straight to the conclusion then read more if I want to. |

Yea, I agree, I prefer to read, since many videos can be overly long and tedious. Some can be really good though. |

Me, too. Prefer to read and look at still pictures. |

Blog Post, with good photos and a description of any issues with use of the product or historical accuracy |

….. a surprising number of video makers do not prepare what they intend to say before hand and as such there is often a lot of irrelevant "umming" and "erring" …. … they ramble around the subject instead of getting on with it….. IMO |

For the most part, I am not a fan of sitting and watching videos, and a really dislike podcasts. I am still a fan of the written word. |

Another vote for the written word. |

Generally blog. If you do videos making extensive use of Youtube's share beginning at a specific time feature could be useful. |

Blog posts for me too, but I also write for two different blogs. :) |

I just started doing YouTube Reviews in addition to Blog Reviews of products. At this time, the written work is slightly more visited than the videos. :) |
