  • Internet Historian 596 million total views across two channels, 5.9 million subscribers across two channels. Multiple media press coverage on established outlets[2][3][4][5]
  • Indibloggies Modelled on the The_Weblog_Awards_(Bloggies) it was the first (and perhaps the only) publicly selected blog award from India that continued for 6 years. Media/Book coverage at [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. Scholarly article mentions: [11], [12]. Site publication (essay series): [13]. Wikipedia links: [14]. The award has been defunct but I think it should be listed at Wikipedia due to historic reasons. Many winners from this award like Arnab Ray, Sonia Faleiro, Amit_Varma_(writer) etc. went on to become big authors/podcasters. Since I am the person who ran this award (with no profits), it should be appropriate for someone else to write it. Awards results: 2003[15], 2004[16], 2005[17], 2006[18] and 2008[19]

  • Note card confessions - According to Kelli Fowlds, note card confessions are "confessional YouTube videos in which producers use note cards in order to disclose personal information about themselves to the public. These videos vary in topic, but often contain many similarities that constitute them as their own genre. The standard note card confession video contains a single person in front of a camera, generally with a medium to close-up camera framing. The person on screen plays a song and then proceeds to confess something personal about her or his life by flipping through a stack of note cards. Topics include bullying, problems with family members, and even suicidal thoughts or actions. Each note card displays writing that tells a piece of the story. These videos normally last between two and ten minutes, and the person in the video remains silent the entire time." Note card confessions rose to prominence in 2011 and 2012, with the respective deaths of Ben Breedlove by heart disease and Amanda Todd by suicide, shortly after publishing their confession videos. Note card confessions are also known as note card videos, note card stories, index card confessions, index card videos, index card stories, flash card confessions, flash card videos, and flash card stories. ([67],[68],[69],[70],[71]).

  • Short-form videos are videos made for smartphones and shared via online video-sharing platforms, the most well-known being TikTok, YouTube (See YouTube Shorts), Instagram (See Instagram Reels), and Snapchat (with Snapchat Spotlight). The concept has inspired platforms such as Spotify that named its artist-to-listener service Spotify Clips ([74]https://artists.spotify.com/en/blog/spotify-clips-get-started-short-form-video-stream-on), and it's probably not the only one. Despite the importance these videos have all over the world today, no page dedicated to short-form videos exists yet; instead informations about them are split across different pages, and there's no page listing the platforms that host such videos. Maybe a first draft could 1. gather the information from the different Wikipedia articles mentioned here, 2. mention who started with short-forms videos, who followed (in what order), and who has more recently tried to imitate the format (such as Spotify)? And maybe even 3. Mention the history of short-form videos and if a previous format inspired it, and 4. Make the link with other adaptations to the increased usage of smartphones, such as Manhwa (not sure if that's relevant)
