I wish all the tiktok and Instagram «tutorials» that wildly cut on the beat and show what they do so fast you can’t follow because then you have to repeat watch multiple times which games the algorithm a very merry stop

9 Board Game YouTubers I Follow & Why (plus a few others)
In the literal dim and distant past when I started boardgaming (honestly, the biggest threat was tallow wax on your board), the internet was still accessed by whatever IP address you could remember off the top of your head (there’s no place like 127.0.0.1 as they sayI) - and the only TikTok was the clock ticking, waiting for half of Louise Nurding’s left leg to download only to realise it was Anne Widdecombe and you’d hit the wrong link on a BB. Boardgames had some quiet and shady corners of the internet, in those same Bulletin Boards, there was one for HeroQuest and Space Crusade when they came out. But sadly, if you wanted to see a boardgame being played or learn the rules, you either had to go round to your friend Tim’s house where he had a new chits-for-days wargame going, or sit down and actually read the rulebook yourself. As a result, I bought some interesting games in my time, including a game called Operation Overlord - a mighty chit-tastic WW2 N African campaign monster that I bought in desperation from the Games Workshop in Manchester on the first morning that it opened in 1979 (?) as we were so far back in the queue that there wasn’t a space marine to be had for miles. But now, we have a plethora of kindly folk available on our blistering shiny Windows NT 486sx machines to inform and delight us in full 8-bit glory. Everything from reviews, buying guides, rules tutorials and even painting & crafting guides, we can be bathing in just about whatever aspect of board or wargaming we so desire in an effort to stave off the clattering realisation that it’s been over 3 months since we spent any quality time with another breathing soul outside our houses. The question gets frequently asked on boardgame FaceAche forums “What YouTube channels are worth my time and why?” so in an effort to throw my own towel into that controversial ring, here’s my pick of probably 9ish, maybe more by the end, but let’s start with 9 in no particular order..... 1) 3 MINUTE BOARDGAMES
Tumblr media
One of the first board games ‘er across the table (TM) and I bought together was a copy of Gloom from a little games and comic shop halfway round the world in Hamilton NZ, Mark 1 Comics. As we were achingly close to moving to NZ a few years ago, we’ve kept up with many aspects of what might have been our life over there, so it was a delight to discover Jarrod (and now Stephanie) on YouTube, a friendly and familiar accent reviewing board games. But it’s not just the NZ vibe that I love, Jarrod does a great job of cutting thru the hyperbole and bloat often associated with trying to keep YouTube vids ‘long for the algorithm’ (ugh) and just gives very pragmatic reasons for a game either joining or leaving his collection. He has a great approach, and it’s nice to see him finally on camera instead of the disembodied voice. Great reviewer, and Stephanie is utterly hilarious. 2) THE BROTHERS MURPH
Tumblr media
Mike & Nick are two of the most engaging brothers on YouTube let alone just in the boardgaming community. Their series on thrift shop finds has dredged up some hilarious and often tragic specimens from the grand days of Palitoy, MB and Parker Games.  They are also masters at ‘speed reviewing’ often piling reviews of 50 or 60 games into the same number of minutes. I think I favour the ‘don’t outstay your welcome’ approach to YouTube in general, and the Brothers Murph are at great ease with this philosophy and yet they take on simple party games thru to the heaviest euros with the same distillation equipment, and yet their reviews are never trivial or throw away. We had the chance to chat to Nick at Airecon this year and he was a lovely guy, slightly blown away by the fact that people liked his channel. He’s also an awesome artist too.
3) ACTUALOL
Tumblr media
There are many reviewers on the web who have cost me a fair amount of money, the worst being Zee Garcia, however, a close second is Jon Purkiss aka Actualol. Jon has a terrifying gift for finding games, and especially ridiculously affordable games, that I buy on spec and then end up absolutely loving. Jon has a light and breezy style which is instantly engaging - I also really want his comfy chair (surely in exchange for a nice review on here Jon???). His videos are tidy and concise and yet still convey a deep enthusiasm and joy for games. His reviews very clearly portray what the setting of the game is and what you’ll be doing, without getting embroilled in the rules. He always has great footage of the game on the table (please reviewers - look at the ratio of your face to the game you’re talking about - less than 10% game and i’m walkin’) and often favours the less pricey end of the market which suits me fine. Brilliant games I love thanks to Jon include: Second Chance, Magic Maze and Ninja Academy
4) OUR FAMILY PLAYS GAMES
Tumblr media
There’s not much to be said about Mik & Starla Fitch that cannot be gained from watching a mere 3-4 minutes of their channel. For sheer exuberance aimed squarely at a love for bringing families together via our glorious hobby, you cannot top these guys. If you are ever - EVER - feeling slightly lacklustre about gaming or losing your mojo for whatever reason - heck if you are just feeling slightly down, treat yourself to 10 minutes in the company of these two excellent human beings. Their reviews and playthru’s have all the humanity you need in a game and after five minutes you are thinking “Is the US too far to go just for a gaming evening?” We’d both utterly love to sit across the table from these lovely people and just play, and I can’t say that about every reviewer, I’ll be honest. Their reviews are often centred around unloved classics (watch their vid dedicated to why they love Catan as an example - you’ll be clicking Buy Now before your know it) and also some great quirky unknowns that I’m trying to hunt down even now. They’ve just had a brilliant couple of boosts from both a spot of Good Morning America recently, and becoming reviewers for the mighty Dice Tower. I’m immensely grateful for a tweet by Rodney Smith for pointing me in their direction, my social media is a much brighter place with the Fitch family in it.
5) RAHDO RUNS THROUGH
Tumblr media
“Heeeeey Everybody”. One of the first board game reviewers I ever caught on YouTube was the inimitable Richard Ham aka Rahdo. And I’m so glad I did. I would genuinely never sit down and try and learn a game from one of Rahdo’s playthrus, they are what I imagine being in a wind tunnel full of 50 tonnes of feathers is like. BUT and this is crucial - if I want an idea of what a game is going to feel like to play, there is no finer deliverer of the remote game experience than Mr Richard Ham. His unique ability to explain how a game is going to work, turn by turn; the decisions you will make; the things you’ll have to consider; the short and long term goals; are all brilliantly covered in one of Rahdo’s videos. His ability to make different choices for his ‘ghost partner’ Jen (who does exist in real life, we have bought jewelry off her, she’s lovely) also adds a real dynamism to the games, showcasing the flexibility in a design for different play strategies. Rahdo tends towards 2 player games and usually at the heavier end of the scale, but if there’s a game you are thinking of buying, check Mr Ham out first! 
6) WATCH IT PLAYED
Tumblr media
It’s often been said that Canadians are some of the politest folk on the planet, but when it comes to ranking Canadians, well, I’m sure they’d be too humble to rank each other so I’ll have to. Rodney Smith is the loveliest man in the world. There, end of article. But it’s true. We’ve been watching Rodney since we first got confused about the rules for Mice & Mystics (which we still got wrong but that wasn’t Rodney’s fault) and his ever chirpy, ever positive approach to his rules rundowns is utterly remarkable and frankly, enviable. And it’s his attention to detail and clarity for explaining rules that have rightly made Rodney one of the most important resources in the gaming hobby. If you have ever struggled over a rulebook and haven’t raced to Watch It Played, I will guarantee you will have spent far longer on that rulebook and lost way more hair than you ever needed to. We had the great honour of playing Rajas of the Ganges with Rodney at Airecon in 2019, and I mugged up on the rules sooo much. Regular imbibers of this rag will know my sloth for reading rulebooks is legendary but fortunately ‘er across the table (TM) loves them. But, for the 3 days running up to our trip to Harrogate, I did nothing but read that rulebook - this was THE Rodney Smith, you can’t get a rule wrong with Rodney. But of course, nerves kicked in and I could barely remember the rules of Snap, but the nicest man in the world could not have been nicer. Really, quantum mechanics has proved it. He was just the same man off the computer telly. Funny, engaging, warm and happy to chat as well as play (which I was also really nervous about doing!), if you don’t watch Rodney, are you really internetting?
7) TABLETOP MINIONS
Tumblr media
“Pachow” From boardgames to wargames. As well as my slight addiction to cardboard, my other opiate overlord is 28mm plastic miniatures. Specifically those involved in tabletop skirmish games like Malifaux, 7TV, Fallout Wasteland Warfare, GuildBall and a smattering of others. Though recently more focused on the frankly insane amount of content being released by Games Workshop, Tabletop Minions is presented by the splendid Uncle Atom. (In fact, I identify his content so much as Uncle Atom’s stuff that I honestly had to double check the name of the channel for this article!). My plastic habit uncle (sounds so wrong, but so true) has possibly the gentlest delivery of anyone on the internet. It’s not so much content, as therapy. I know the net is awash with AMSR channels at the mo, but if you don’t want to listen to some overmonetized southern californian with some bubble wrap and a large capsule condenser mic, just hop over to TTM and listen to the Uncle for 5 minutes. He’s like a soothing bubble bath of content about painting figures, philosophy of the hobby, general art & design principles, and great life advice. He also wears a fez.
8) GIRL PAINTING
Tumblr media
“Hello Tchoobies!” I painted my first 28mm figure when i was about 12ish - it was, ironically, a space marine of some sort - the old clunky Ral Partha ones. It looked terrible, but each model got a bit better till I stopped for some reason a few years later. When I got into Malifaux a few years ago (ie decades, several of them, later), I knew I was going to have to get back into painting; heaps of grey plastic does not a skirmish game make. (Little did I know I would have to revisit my microscopy days either when assembling damn Bayou Gremlins!)  Two channels were recommended to me, the Esoteric Order of Gamers (more later) and Girl Painting. EOG put me on the path to believing I could paint again, but Alexandra at Girl Painting actually made me believe I could learn to do it well. GP’s approach to painting figures, terrain and vehicles is based on solid art theory. Her explanation of colour relationships and the colour wheel is something I can quote to this day. All of the techniques that I lean on so heavily in day to day painting both for table and display I learnt from Girl Painting. Correct use of washes, wet blending,  non-metallic metals, shading, drybrushing, highlighting, model reading, all of it from studying intently, often with a brush actually in my hand while watching the channel. I cannot recommend GP enough if you want to put paint to plastic. Whatever your ability, you will learn something from this hidden gem of a channel.
9) ESOTERIC ORDER OF GAMERS
Tumblr media
Another dang fine antipodean and another slightly unusual channel. I have a terrible, terrible memory when it comes to rules. In our early days, we also had a a lot of games with seemingly very over-bloated rulebooks - FFG games basically. I suddenly realised what I wanted was to lift the lid of a box and find in the lid, a summary of the important stuff i needed to remember about the game. Apparently I was not the only one. In 2013 a chap known as Universal Head started publishing an amazing series of rules summaries which condensed down some of the bloatiest rulesbooks down to often one or 2 pages of A4. It was a (pardon the pun) gamechanger for me. I can’t count the number of games in our collection that have a friendly sheet of A4 now as the first thing you see when you open the box. They are brilliant. And he’s still doing it to this day. I would argue that the more useful leg to his activities is the website rather than YouTube channel, but his channel does have the aforementioned brilliant figure painting tutorials, unboxing videos and some crafting stuff. The website is definitely the place for the rules summaries and also a fantastic resource for build-it-yourself foamcore box inserts. Though Folded Space have now made box inserts pretty affordable, there’s still no feeling like the satisfaction of building your own, and I would argue that some of EoG’s designs actually make more sense than some of the Folded Space ones anyway. AND THE OTHER ONES (Who probably don’t really need the exposure, but hey, only 11 people probably read this so......)  Why aren’t these on the list above? Just because I wanted to highlight some of the more marginal channels above or more specialist rather than the pure reviewers. SHUT UP & SIT DOWN Possibly my favourite channel on YouTube, whose name sounds more like a menacing Yorkshire greeting than a boardgame channel. SU&SD seem to be a real Marmite issue on the board game communities. And I genuinely don’t understand it. Yes, their reviews are often really funny but honestly, if that’s all you take away then you are missing some amazingly detailed and thought provoking work. Quinns and crew’s reviews are some of the most measured and balanced reviews in the gameyverse. Their reasoning for the conclusions they come to are incredibly well thought through and often very surprising based on the tone of the rest of the review. They have steered me to some games I would never have looked twice at and steered me away from some very shiny games that I might have blown a lot of money on otherwise. Flagposting great alternatives is also a signature of their reviews, and that again has often lead me to some fantastic games. We don’t always agree (their recent review of 10 Oink Games was savage imho) but we always disagree for the right reasons. Again, I would argue their website is actually a better overall resource, especially their podcasts which are superb, but all their content is fantastic.
in a highly similar vein I would add NO PUN INCLUDED. Efka & Elaine produce some of the most thoughtful and intelligent boardgame review content today, and often for some of the deepest and most complex games. The joy of boardgaming is that it is highly subjective and there are lots of times when NPI like/dislike a game that I do/don’t, but they are engaging and warm enough as presenters to hit you with a gentle subtext that says “It’s ok - I know we like this game, we get that you don’t, it doesn’t make any of us bad people, just people y’know, have a sandwich with us”  Efka criticising a game reminds me of when Dennis Healey once described an argument with Geoffrey Howe as being ‘savaged by a dead sheep’, though not in the cynical manner of the original. The criticism is loaded with that crucial dose of ‘hear me out’ that is sadly lacking in 90% of all other reviewers out there. Efka & Elaine are no GoggleBox reviewers, they are the real deal - they genuinely understand how games work and why. The sheer moral turmoil that Efka expressed over the cultural issues in Rising Sun was some of the most thoughtful YouTube content I have ever seen. I just wanted to do a little shout out to Johannes & Sunniva at BOARD GAMING RAMBLINGS - I don’t have as much to say as they are relatively new on my radar, but I have really enjoyed their content so far and find them to be like one of those adorable gaming couples that you might see every once in a while at your gaming group and have a blast with, and then not see for months and go “Awh - I really miss Johannes & Sunniva - where’d they go?” that feeling, you know the one. Adorable, with a hint of the esoteric. Also, a quick but important mention to the other titan of boardgame rules explanation that is Paul Grogan of GAMING RULES!. Like Rodney Smith, Paul is meticulous about rules explanation and is really clear and simple to follow, even for very heavy games, which Paul tends to do more of than Rodney, which is probably why I end up watching Paul slightly less, but certainly not for any less quality. Paul has such a reputation in the industry that he now works closely with many designers and publishers to help craft the best rulebooks around as a consultant. So that’s it - congrats for making it through folks. Didn’t think it was going to run this long, but turns out.... I quite like a lot of the YouTubers I watch - who knew? Until next time... happy gaming y’all.

Hi I'm Sabba from VEED.IOOn our online video editing platform, VEED sees hundreds of thousands of our videos posted on social media every month.Our users really care about growing their account, therefore we are working hard to help our users get better at this. From our data and numerous conversations with marketers, influencers, and growth experts, we put together this little guide for you.Lets get started, so the most-followed people on Instagram areCristiano Ronaldo - 181M FollowsAriana Grande - 163M FollowersSelena Gomez - 155M FollowersFrom looking at this list and the number of followers all the above have you might be thinking‘How the F\** am I ever going to grow my account if I'm up against these A-listers?’*First, I am not a celebrity, don't have friends who are influencers and I don't go on lavish holidays where I can selfie the shit out of myself in the mirror.So now we have got over this little rant, lets now lower the aspirations a little and let's look at how you can build your own small following to 10K followers on Instagram first.In this post, we are going to look at the NON-BULLSHIT way to grow your Instagram account to 10K followers. When I say no bullshit I'm referring to no doing any of the following:Not buying followersNot using follow unfollow strategiesNot using Like botsNot using adsand other IG snake oilBE WARNED this is not going to be easy, I mean growing anything takes time, even growing a plant takes time, it does not happen overnight. Anyone who has to grow anything knows that it takes a lot of hard work.Tell a storyStorytelling is the most powerful method of communication there is. You might be able to take some nice photos and add good filters, but it's important to add context to your content. Use your description to inform your audience why you are posting content any why they should care. It follows the logic by which "The more you understand something, the more you are likely to appreciate it"Over time your audience will learn more about you, they will care more and in turn your engagement will go up.Tips for a good descriptionWhat are you doing?Why are you doing it?Why does this matter?Provide value from your experience?How let's look at a pro in action. @jadasezer is a Child Psychologist with 259k followers. She put a lot of effort into writing a long post captions and also asks her audience questions. In-turn she has a really vibrant page with a incredibly active group of following.Use Instagrams network effectInstagram is a network with other people just like you. The platform makes it easy to comment, share content. The most powerful way to grow on Instagram is to leverage the platform's virality by getting other followers on Instagram itself to share your content for you. If 20% of your audience tag a friend in you post comments, your account will grow exponentially.So how do we get your followers to tag others in your post? This relates to the point above, let me explain.Imagine you just got back from a holiday in Paris, in the post you mention your top tips for traveling. As a follower, I might share this with friends who also want to go to Paris or who are going soon.And for bonus points, in your description, ask your followers a question like "Where are your favourite places to go on holiday" and make sure you reply to everyone!Let's now look at an example of this working in practice with one of my favourite meme accounts @poundlandbandit. In 4 images @poundlandbandit paints a picture of a young stereotype that we can all relate to. Fans of the account, tag their friends who they think this stereotype relate too. In fact, i never found a comment, everyone just tags friends. It kinda easy to see how this account has grown so fast.How Poundlandbandit grewYou most likely have seen this technique at work before. Most likely that would be on youtube where YouTubers ask you to like, share, subscribe and leave comments on the video. The reason they do this is that it tells YouTubes algorithm that something is interesting going on here and we need to share it with others. This will take time to perfect, but once the ball is rolling you will see the results in no time at all.Do what works and keep doing itTake a look at your current post, what posts have done well? If you have had a few posts that have got a lot of engagement then make more like that. If you have not really found what works for you then keep trying.A good friend of mine Ross (TrapLoreRoss) was chipping away at youtube for about 3 years with pretty much no success. One day he made a hip-hop community video and exploded, so he made another, then another and in 6 months he sailed through the 100K follower mark no problem. Good job Ross!How TrapLoreRoss Grew on YoutubeLet us look at an example of this working on Instagram. @nicolemclaughlin is an incredibly creative and talented creator. Scroll way back on her profile and you will see some really nice photos. Now, look how many likes the image has in the bottom right 5000! Loads more than any other.It turns out @nicolemclaughlin niche is making shoes out of other products. It's a strange niche but has brown to almost 200K Followers! Now she makes new content regularly and her posts get over 50K likes, pretty impressive right?Moral of the story, keep making good content until you find something that works for you!FormatThe media world loves formats and you should love them too! A format is an idea that you can reproduce again and again that guarantees success.For example, you could make a travel Instagram page but you only travel 3 times a year! How are you going to make enough content regally? You cannot! Maybe in the future, you can but right now keep it simple. Make-up tutorials, gaming videos, memes are really popular formats that can be produced again and again cheaply. That's why you see so many of them!Lessons learned: That's the fundamental algorithm of life—REPEAT WHAT WORKSI know all of this advice sounds pretty daunting I bet and growing your Instagram account can seem hard. But there is a silver lining, the compound effect of growth starts paying off over time. Growing your account from 1K to 2K followers takes much less time than going from 0 to 1K. And going from 100K followers to 200K followers is quicker than 10K to 20K.Best of luck, I hope this post was helpful, please do share this with others and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!And finally who am I?I'm Sabba, I am the CEO of VEED.IO a simple online video editing platform used by influencers, marketers and huge companies. Its perfect for cropping videos for instagram, adding subtitles to your videos and much more. On our platform, we see hundreds of thousands of our videos posted on social media. Therefore we are working hard to help our users get better at this.

Media Habits, Lifestyles, and Preferences - CN27
           I’m the admin of this blog, Chris Cheng. I’m not a fan of most social media. I find that a lot of posts from Facebook make me want to cringe. There are people who post pictures and add quotes to them for absolutely no reason. Others use click bait titles and ask you to like or share their post. Some famous people on Facebook like SoFloAntonio even steal content from other people. Because of this, I usually just use Facebook for messaging purposes.
           Snapchat is even worse for me. Because it’s so easy to use, people upload literally anything. They upload pictures of their food, pictures of where they are, pictures of what they’re doing, pictures of what they’re watching, pictures of their dog, and pictures of them looking like a dog. None of them is interesting to me at all. Worst of all, Snapchat has no way of giving feedback. So people are just going to post the same thing every time without feeling the need to change.
           I spend most of my time on Youtube, and although I don’t think it’s the best social media platform, I do certainly think that it’s one of the better ones. I usually watch one video from a gaming channel called NerdCubed every day, because every other gaming channel feels exactly the same. And then I move on to other videos. I’d watch videos like the KNKL show or random art tutorials because I recently got interested in drawing. I’m still terrible at it though. I’d watch videos from a videogame journalist called Jim Sterling so that I’d be up to date with the videogame industry. Since I might make games as a hobby in the future, it would probably be nice for me to know. Other than that, every video I watch is pretty much random.
           Youtube is kind of a mixed bag though. There can be some amazing content on Youtube. There are people that make short films and animations that can even outclass the things that you see for a price. But because of the way Youtube’s algorithm favors long videos and frequent uploads, short films and animations are dying. In order for people to earn a sufficient amount of money, people would have to resort to making videos with almost no effort to make.
           There is a new genre that’s becoming popular on Youtube called reaction videos. These videos have a formula of a person recording his/her face while watching and showing an entire video made by someone else, usually with little to no reaction, and then asking the viewer to like and subscribe. They add so little to the video that it’s basically infringement of copyright.
           Anyways, I’ll stop ranting now. I don’t really do much other than watch Youtube videos.
