Why would somone watch someone traveling online?


I dont get what the caucasian guy was doing. He was filming their travels and uploaded the videos online... Why? If he wanted his friends to see it, couldnt he wait until they were back? Or just e-mailed it to them? Why show it on the world wide web?

It would be important for friends and family to keep up-to-date track of a traveler with a serious illness such as Cliff's. In addition, it's easier for the viewers to take in small amounts of the trip at at a time rather than have a month long trip dumped onto them at once.

Video files are huge. Few email providers will allow such a file to sent as an attachment. Video clips can also be saved on a server to allow viewers to stream at their leisure.

Where have you been over the past decade, hiding under a rock? Do you have any clue how many people watch completely asinine things on YouTube and Vine? Look up how much Grumpy Cat's owner has made. Check out Boo the Pomeranian. Compared to all the ridiculous crap people watch online, travel vids are the cream of the crop.

There are some YouTube channels that focus exclusively on people filming their travels and giving reviews of the countries they visit.
