Passerby interview content mass-produced through the activation of short form
In July 2021, as the YouTube Shorts feature was released and took root, the types of content with power have also changed significantly.
The number of short, immediately consumable videos has increased rapidly rather than highly complete, planned videos.
Among them, the type that has noticeably increased is ‘short interview-type content’, which asks questions to passersby on the street and posts the answers.
Because the production burden is low and response is quick, it is widely used by individual YouTubers to brand channels.
The problem is that most of these contents are created on the premise of spontaneous filming and simple consent.
Videos that did not seem like a big problem at the time of upload,When time passes and it takes on a completely different meaningis increasing.
Among inquiries about White Maze,‘Delete YouTube videos recorded in the past’There are quite a few customers who come to us for .
📺 Is it possible to delete a YouTube interview video filmed in the past?
Can YouTube interview videos filmed in the past be deleted?
The customer in this case also had experience participating in YouTube street interviews in the past.
Verbal consent at the time of filmingI did it,Questions and answers are also at a routine levelIt was. He said he didn't think it would be a particular problem at that point.
However, as time passed, the context of the video changed slightly. Some of the existing long-form videos began to be cut into shorts, and short clips began to be exposed through the algorithm.
Afterwards, shorts using the same scene appeared repeatedly on other accounts, and the screen with comments was captured and moved to the community.
When we reached this stage, the customer’s concerns also changed. I began to be more concerned about how and to what extent this interview video was being spread rather than the content of the video itself.
- The video edited with shorts is re-uploaded and the number of views increases rapidly.
- Short-form clips are reused across multiple accounts along with the original long-form video.
- Comment capture image spreads to community
The customer said, “I thought all I had to do was delete the original video and that would be the end.”In reality, secondary posts derived from the original video or comments from the community are also a major source of anxiety.It was in place.
📺The reason why it is difficult for individuals to delete YouTube interview videos
Why it is difficult for individuals to delete YouTube interview videos
At this point, many people are thinking about deleting it. However, there is more burden than you might think before actually taking action.
First, ☝️The fact that consent was already given at the time of filming.This becomes an obstacle.
Most passerby interviews are filmed on the spot and often no issues are raised at the time of upload. So even if you want to delete it over time,The fact that I have to contact the uploader again is a burden in itself.
Even if you make a polite request, you worry about whether it will be inconvenient for no reason or whether you will look like someone who is creating unnecessary problems, and there are many cases where this process itself remains quite stressful regardless of the result of deletion.
Also, even if the original interview video is difficult to download, ✌️When things don't end thereThere are a lot.
This is because videos that have already been cut in the form of shorts or clips, and images that have been captured and circulated, remain as is.
So even after organizing the originalThe same scene is still visible on other SNS or communities.If you add re-uploads from third-party accounts, the scope for an individual to respond drastically decreases.
This is because it is not easy to figure out where it started and how far it has spread.
‘Confirmation of distribution’ procedure required before deletion
‘Confirmation of distribution’ procedure required before deletion
White Me did not immediately proceed with the deletion request at this stage. First, we started by organizing the entire spread flow through ‘confirmation of distribution.’
*What is distribution confirmation?
The process of determining the true extent of the video's spread, including original and derived content
We checked the platforms where the original interview video remained, looked at how much secondary content derived from the shorts had been created, and sequentially counted re-edited videos and captured images using the same scenes, as well as community posts and search exposure.
During this process, shorts accounts and community posts that the customer was completely unaware of were also identified, and distribution confirmation was more of a standard for determining how much management was necessary in the future rather than simply a process of collecting data.
