V Sphere:今年VidCon被Informa收购后,体验大不如前。往年有7万尖叫的粉丝和众多创作者,气氛热烈。但今年观众以儿童为主,活动组织混乱,缺乏娱乐元素。酒店条件差,没有冰咖啡等基本设施,表明管理层不了解VidCon的受众需求。尽管我参加的小组讨论组织得很好,但面对以儿童为主的观众,效果并不理想。霍克图阿的成人内容表演与儿童观众格格不入,引发争议。VidCon After Dark的表演者们在缺乏支持的情况下表现出色,令人感动。Meta举办的迪士尼创作者之夜虽然提供了高级餐饮,但实际上是Meta AI的推销会。总的来说,这次VidCon的体验令人失望,反映了私募股权公司接管后对活动本质的误解。 V Sphere:我感觉今年的VidCon在很多方面都变了味。以前的VidCon充满活力,创作者和粉丝互动频繁,赞助商也积极参与。但今年,Informa的介入使得活动更像一个普通的动漫展,缺乏了VidCon原有的特色和氛围。观众的年龄结构也发生了变化,导致很多原本为青少年和成年人设计的活动变得不合适。此外,酒店和餐饮等方面的不足也影响了创作者的体验。我希望VidCon的未来能够回归初心,重新关注创作者和粉丝的需求。

This week on American Fever Dream, V and Sami unpack hell on earth - Hawk Tuah’s live podcast at Vid Con. Then, they deep dive into how President Trump bombed Iran without telling anyone (including Congress) and the implications of Christian nationalism in politics. It’s all getting very 2003 again — but with a president that’s a fascist instead of one that can paint dogs.
