“Video has gotten to the world where there is no middle class. There’s either low-class, where people make free stuff on YouTube or Instagram Stories [or there] is the high-quality stuff like Disney announcing ‘Resistance,’ [HBO’s] ‘Game of Thrones,’ etc. Who’s got time for this middle-class video st…”— Brian Sugar, digiday.com
“It was one of those days when it's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. Right? And this bag was just dancing with me. Like a little kid begging me to play with it. For fifteen minutes. That's the day I realized that there was this entire life be…”— Alan Ball, Ricky Fitts, Wes Bentley, imdb.com
“The idea that you have programming underwritten by platforms and getting help with distribution reinforces your brand. You’re making more great content, and you’re not funding it out of ad-supported P&L. That in turn drives your ad business because your brand and audience gets better.”— Ben Lerer, adexchanger.com
“Don't get lost on a hike there. You'll end up on YouTube without a head, and there's no web redemption for that.”— Daniel Tosh, en.wikiquote.org

“I watched the video of my wedding backwards. I almost cried when I took the ring back, gave her back to her father, moonwalked out of the church, and went away, free.”— Flippydaman, reddit.com
“There are four reasons the pivot to video has failed: faulty metrics for measuring the audience; trusting other platforms, like Facebook, to do the hard work of distribution; low-quality video production and weak technological support for video content; and, ultimately, a failure to effectively turn…”— Heidi Moore, cjr.org
“But contrary to the bromides from executives about what audiences really want, this ‘pivot to video’ is more about advertisers’ ongoing search for a sustainable ad format, one that doesn’t end up proving its own ineffectiveness or exhausting its novelty.”— Adam Clair, reallifemag.com
“But the question that you have to ask is: Is video the end of the line, right? Is that as good as we can do, in terms of capturing a scene and what someone is experiencing at that point in time? And I think that the answer to that is definitely no, right? Because technology can always get better, we…”— Mark Zuckerberg, washingtonpost.com
“Facebook might be hosting upwards of 8 billion views per day on its platform, but a wide majority of that viewership is happening in silence. As much as 85 percent of video views happen with the sound off, according to multiple publishers. Take, for instance, feel-good site LittleThings, which is av…”— Sahil Patel, digiday.com
“It’s fun for the occasional tech demo, but now we know the real reason that Google Glass, and other augmented reality solutions, have failed to catch on.
