Vidding Meme! :D
Shamelessly stolen from frayadjacent and chaila! Give me a number (or a few) and I will try to answer things! Some numbers are missing because my intelligent predecessors went through combing for questions they didn't think they'd be so interested in, but I'm, um, lazy, so I just copy-pasted one of their lists and ran with it. YAY ME.

5. Share one of your strengths.
Interesting - I actually feel like this has changed over the years. When I started I think I did interesting lyric matching, and I sort of miss doing that. But a shift in the types of music I vid (less lyrically intricate; I think as a combination of changing music tastes but also changes in what's popular and like...around cus I'm so lazy about discovering new stuff) and the fact that I've been without a single obsessive ongoing fandom where I know every clip means that's not quite so much my wheelhouse anymore. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I do think that I've developed a real tenacity when it comes to technical crap, though. Like I think if I have an idea but no idea how to achieve it, I will learn how. I think I'm determined. I try not to use effects unless they actually add something to the vid, but I do feel like I've become a much more effects-heavy, technically-fiddly vidder. So my more recent vids focus more on that than lyric matching, sometimes. Which I'm not sure how I feel about in broad terms but only because I want to do both things, you know? Yeah. And stuff.
22. Have you ever deleted one of your published vids?
No. There are some that I no longer like that much and even one where I feel really awkward about my song choice, but flat-out removing them feels... I don't know, like hiding where I came from. I don't mean that as a judgement to people who do remove their vids, or who let them expire when hosting goes down, etc. I think...whatever is right for you, you know? But for me, I don't know. That's all stuff I did, so...it can stay.
24. Do you beta yourself? If so, what kind of beta are you?
Not often, but sometimes. To be honest, I worry I'm not a very good one because I tend to beta for friends and I like their aesthetic, so I think I'm not as rigorous as I could be. I think I tend to focus more on the overall flow and pace of the vid than attempting to overanalyse meaning or structure. Though I do get hung up on timing at a clip-level sometimes.
