What Are Content Types?
Content types categorize videos based on their origin, production level, and the relationship between creator and content.
This classification helps viewers understand the authenticity, production quality, and intended purpose of videos before watching.
Each content type reflects different production levels, viewer expectations, and authenticity markers:
- Production Level: From raw user captures to professionally produced content with editing, lighting, and planning
- Viewer Behavior: Different types attract different audiences seeking specific experiences
- Authenticity: The degree to which content represents genuine, unscripted moments versus curated presentations
- Purpose: Educational, entertainment, documentation, or commercial intent
Understanding content types helps viewers select videos that match their preferences for production quality, authenticity,
and viewing experience. This semantic organization enables more meaningful content discovery.
