There is absolutely no doubt social media videos are watched a great deal. People enjoy social media videos for various reasons and their popularity are growing. On line business to business company finally.agency states on its website: "In general, video's are much easier to consume; they convey information quickly and simply, and remove the need for the user to read lots of text or scroll through numerous pages."
I know my amateur videos aren't the best out there, but they even get a good amount of views. I decided to see which had the most views out of the 99 videos as of Sept 1, 2024. I was surprised by the two most viewed. Number 4 & 5 were expected to be popular since they are about riding some of the best roads in the Colorado Rocky Mountains (6 of the top 10 are from Colorado). The second most watched video really took me by surprise as it is about a large swap meet in Texas. The most watched is about an awesome motorcycle that Honda no longer manufactures.
Here are my top 5 most viewed videos on my YouTube Channel - in reverse order.
5) The Million Dollar Highway (US 550) in Southwest Colorado crosses over three major passes including Red Mountain Pass - elevation 11,018 feet, Coal Bank Pass - elevation 10,640 and Molass Pass - elevation 10,910. Amazing scenery and beautiful mountain towns of Durango, Silverton and Ouray are all part of the Million Dollar Highway. VIDEO #5
4) Independence Pass on CO 82 from Twin Lakes (east end) to Aspen is a challenging road with great vistas of Colorado's tallest mountain, Mount Elbert, and the surround mountain range. A stop at the top of the pass offers breathtaking views. VIDEO #4
3) Interestingly Pitkin, Colorado sits in the middle of Colorado Rockies and the video occupies the middle of the top 5. Pitkin is a small town and the hub to a lot of ATV, 4WD and dirt/adventure bike routes. I had some pretty good bbq while I was there. VIDEO #3
2) The Pate Swap Meet is held at the Texas Motor Speedway, Fort Worth, Texas. It started in 1972 as the South Central Swap Meet. According to pateswapmeet.com the swap meet has 1200 for the three day event. VIDEO #2
1) The most viewed video from my channel is my long term review of my 2012 Honda VFR1200. The VFR 1200 sport touring motorcycle came out in 2010 and was discontinued in 2017 when Honda release the VFR1200X, an adventure bike version. I rode my VFR1200 for almost 8 years and 72,000+ miles. VIDEO #1
