Talking on camera

I've ruminated about why online videos of me talking generally have lower engagement than images. Speaking to my phone camera alone has improved my communication in person and over the phone. The algorithm is a black box. I've assumed that I'm too fat or that people dislike my voice. My other theory is that I'm too calm and agreeable. You're supposed to be angry, exaggerate, act dumb, and insult others. We should treat each other fairly and assume some intellect. I don't think we are in Idiocracy.
