Hey all!

Question for you all... this applies to all videos, but it's particularly focused on vlogging. I've noticed that a TON of vloggers do their titles all in CAPS.

I'm wondering your thoughts on this? Do you think it encourages people to watch?

I've always been a "This is the Title of my Vlog" title-er with caps on value words instead of the whole thing as "THIS IS THE TITLE OF MY VLOG!!!" but I'm not opposed to changing if there's a consensus that it's a better way of titling things?
 
Well I think it just grabs the viewer eye more and tells them that its suppose to be exciting. Like if I title my video like this "IT SAYS THAT I AM LOUD AND ITS GOING TO BE FUN AND ENTERTAINING!!" but if I title my video like this "This Shows That it May Be Serious And Boring". I dont know thats just how look at though :)
 
I think it depends on your content and age whether you'd want to type in all caps. If it's for every video, it seems annoying and like the person doing it is screaming for attention and can't get it any other way - most likely because their content is very "meh". If it is for emphasis, all right.
BOOM. Mic dropping that there.

If I see all caps, it screams SPAM.
 
I only like to capitalize one or two key words of the video... i.e. "DISASTROUS Motorcyle Fails 2015" or "How to CLEAN Your Motor Bike"
 
I am sure people are right that all caps is more eye-catching, but it annoys me. Like Motomadness, I sometimes capitalize one or two key words, and I over-use explanation points, but I just can't bring myself to do all caps.
 
Just by reading your post when you put all caps and caps to just the first letter, right away the all caps got me excited lol I would suggest testing it out it's all about trial and error there isn't a right or wrong answer.
 
Hhmmm I never thought about using all capitals or capitals on keywords. That's a good idea to test out! I'm gonna try it! :-) thanks!

I feel like the entire video shouldn't be always all-caps because it does scream spam. Maybe some of it can be all-caps for emphasis, but not the entire thing. For example: HARASSING THE RESIDENTS OF VAULT 101 (Fallout 3 Episode 1 Part1) So the entire title is not all caps, because that just seems spammy, but if you have some of it all caps it catches the eye. Just my own opinion :P I do vlogs and gaming videos, but my vlogs are more serious so I don't use all caps for that.
