For these and other reasons, many interviews that are intended to be a bit more in-depths are being held in written form or, if held verbally, are being reviewed after they were held - not to cover or polish things up, but because we don't always talk in our right minds. On a sidenote: You're probably exaggerating intentionally, but not every human being has cameras in their pockets, not even all of those who could afford it. (Just a general reminder: half the world's population or so doesn't have a smartphone and you exclude them from "humans alive" in your sentence, and maybe in your everyday-thinking.) In this case though, they had phones in their pockets, probably. Admittedly, most people who have a camera in their pocket probably never asked themselves, in serious time, whether they should or not.

She's a streamer, i'm pretty sure having a camera in her face is the least of her concern or worries. She literally does this for a living and has been for years. If shyness was the issue she wouldn't be using a cam in the first place. Obviously not every single human being has a cell phone. Did you actually waste time explaining that? What we know is that these people being interviewed own PC's and phones that was my point. Personally would prefer to see her express her experiences in a video vs reading it.. Actually think it would be more authentic and also I'm sure people could appreciate the gamers personality. BTW you can edit the videos if something was said that the interviewer or interviewee did not like. To be clear, I'm not complaining about the interviews in fact i love them and appreciate them. | ||

No harm intended though, just that I tend to try. I just think a little more subtlety and questioning in conversations can be enriching sometimes but it's so off the usual tone, especially on the internet, that people take it for pedantism. | ||

BTW you can edit the videos if something was said that the interviewer or interviewee did not like. To be clear, I'm not complaining about the interviews in fact i love them and appreciate them. Just to add to this conversation, it's pretty interesting how the format of the interview affects the answers you receive. Generally I've found that text (dialogue) interviews are very...constructed. They give the interviewee plenty of time to think through their responses and choose the best words, and as a result, you get both a more precise point but also potentially a less sincere one. Audio and video interviews definitely present more candid moments but can often lose some meaning as the interviewee rambles or tries to cover up the silence when they're thinking. It's a give and take, and I think both have their merits. In our case, Ty2 chose to go for a text interview because 1) Korea is on the other side of the world and time zones create issues with audio or video interviews, and 2) text interviews are much much easier. EDIT: Q&A interviews (you send a list of questions, the person sends a list of answers back) are awful unless it's literally like 3-4 questions and you're mostly just doing it for a few quotes. | ||

The reason such "live" interviews are better in quality (IMO) is because the first answer you get often doesn't answer your question or doesn't give you enough. So doing it live lets the interviewer to have a conversation with the subject instead of just reading the questions. You sometimes even massage their egos to make them open up a bit. It is a major pain, especially since VOIP quality often varies. I am glad I don't have to do these anymore now that my passion is dead. Everyone who writes for TL pretty much has a RL job and family obligations. I hope people will be more understanding of these text interviews. Let me tell you, these are not easy to set up either. Granted, cadenzie speaks English, so this was probably easier than dealing with Koreans, but the answers are pretty informative from what I can see. Heck they're better than answers from some live interviews. Looks like Ty2 got some good answers. I would be thankful that we aren't getting more interviews that are one liner spams. | ||
