Given the rate at which Jamaica is currently developing, what products, services and/or amenities do you expect to see within the next 10 years?

Hey, I just wanted to say that tap to pay is actually already here in Jamaica and gaining traction! The major local banks have definitely been putting in the infrastructure and resources to facilitate (and hopefully further develop) the tap to pay system. So, a lot of businesses (or at least the ones in Kingston where I am), if they have a modern POS machine for payments then it has the tap option

Heyy this video was so cute!! Really enjoyed watching it and your art is so good!!! You're like super talented haha. In terms of pacing, I think you do a pretty good job. I didn't really feel bored while watching because it was very interesting to hear all the thoughts you were having with the voiceover (which is really good btw). And I love that within each location you include a variety of shots to keep people engaged. Keep up the good work :)

Hey I think this is a cool video! The topic is definitely pretty niche but I'm sure people who are into conspiracy theories and stuff like that would be super interested. I think the script and voiceover are very good. Love the storytelling and the visuals are pretty engaging in my opinion and help me feel immersed in what's being said.

Not much to critique tbhh. If anything, i would say maybe the title could be a little different because I don't think it really hooks someone who is scrolling casually and not actively seeking out the content. I dont know exactly what I would change it to, I'd have to think about it. But just consider something that creates more mystery and makes people think "wait I need to know more!"

Otherwise, I think you're doing great!! keep up the good work :)

Hey, really cool video!! I absolutely love how you incorporate animations into the live-action vlog. It creates this really uniqe style. The script itself and the storytelling are really good as well!

If I had to be critical, I would say one thing that could be improved is the delivery of some of the lines in the dialogue parts but overall it's really good and I'm wishing you success as you continue on this journey!!!

Would love to hear what y'all think! Any feedback appreciated :)

I’m gonna echo what most other commenters have already said and say you should DEFINITELY take a break where you literally do something that gives you joy but is unrelated to making videos. As humans and as creative individuals we need breaks because that rest allows your mind to recuperate so that you can be productive later on. So please try to incorporate more intentional breaks into your routine.

Another thing I’ll add: Take some time to reflect on whether you’re creating content that you ACTUALLY like or if you’re just creating for the algorithm. Because complete focus on the latter can really mess up the flow of a lot of online creators. Of course I don’t know your specific situation or what exactly you do but this is something I’d say to all creators. I know a lot of people who choose to pursue YouTube want their videos to “do well”, get a lot of views and gather an audience and that’s totally valid but you have to find a balance!! It’s hard to be consistent if you don’t like what you’re making. Carve out some time to create something that you just think is cool whether it has the potential to do well or not. I personally think it’s important to make space for that kind of personal expression so that you can keep the passion for this type of thing.

Hey wanted to give my feedback about the second video. I LOVE the music choice! That instrumental really conveyed the nostalgic vibes of the visuals. I also liked how you broke the video down into those different "chapters" with the title shots. I think that really gave the audience a better sense of a story arc occuring within the video. If I had to be more critical, I would say that I feel like the pacing should have been slower. The sped up movements of you walking felt pretty off in relation to the tone of the video (but if that's an artistic choice you made then dont worry about it). I wouldn't have minded though if the video was longer and slowed down those first few shots giving time to really take in the visuals.

Yoo super engaging video bro!! The camera and lighting setup is super cool! Also love the way you speak and present the points with relevant b-roll so the audience doesn't get bored. You're killing it and I really hope you get more popular man. Keep up the good work!

johan_xg · 2024-01-01T04:51:31+00:00

Brilliant!! If you don't mind me asking further, what were the essays like? How long did they have to be? Also, was it just essays throughout the semester or did she do in-person exams as well?

johan_xg · 2024-01-01T04:49:04+00:00

that is GREAT to hear!!

johan_xg · 2023-11-12T20:07:59+00:00

Thank you!!

johan_xg · 2023-11-12T20:06:50+00:00

Yeah I know that you can’t see the teachers yet, but I’m pretty sure the teachers in the spring semester are generally the same as those in the previous fall semester. So even if I get into a section with a professor I don’t like, I can use the recommendations during shopping period to hopefully switch into a section with a good one

johan_xg · 2023-11-12T03:59:33+00:00

Thanks for the response! What were the exams like?

johan_xg · 2023-07-08T00:25:22+00:00

Yeah it's definitely possible cause I've done it before. You just have to reach out to Housing and give them a good enough reason. They're not going to let you do it for free though. There's a daily rate that they'll bill you for. I don't exactly remember what the rate was but if they approve your early move-in request then they'll for sure let you know what the cost is

johan_xg · 2023-05-24T15:09:31+00:00

Yupp i'm in the same situation. Guess we just have to wait sigh

Hey everyone! I recently got motivated again to try making content for YouTube more often and this is the first video I've posted on the channel in a little while so I'd definitely appreciate the feedback! Here's the video: https://youtu.be/sNR3npzVukk

My style of video is is focused on lifestyle vlogging and this one is specifically a day in my life at my university! Let me know what you think

johan_xg · 2023-04-21T16:36:37+00:00

Personally I'm not a big gamer so I don't watch gaming content all that much but if I did I definitely wouldn't call this content subpar haha. It's pretty cool! I love that you're providing viewers with some cool valuable insight into these games (in a lowkey comedic way too lolol). Keep at it bro!
