I made a video about finding work as a blind person (youtu.be)

I like the style of Comedy here. You manage to be funny and yet at the same time hit harder and closer to home than anything ever before.
Ultimately though I think it's your voice that makes the video. You sound like you're trying to maintain a typical Pleasant narrator voice, yet at the same time are on the verge of breaking into tears of frustration and anger. Perfect tone for the subject matter. Really great work!
As for visuals.. I don't fucking know I'm blind lol

Well, the visuals are pretty funny as well
Things like someone seasoning a pizza box without taking the pizza out first and cleaning a window except they’re actually away from the window and wiping a wall
The video is out of focus and blurry but it’s probably intended

I've requested an audio description track on the YouDescribe.org website so that we can all benefit from the imagery. If you're able to create this and are so inclined: https://youdescribe.org/authoring-tool/wlGkIDidp3A

I’d love to help but I don’t think I’ve ever done a description so I’d just be worried of not doing it well

Excellent video.
Point number one hits incredibly hard for me though.
Seemingly I'm stuck in a really fun catch 22 situation where I don't have enough "workplace experience" for jobs that I could actually do with my limited vision, but am ruled out from most of the jobs people get to build their experience (working in a restaurant, bar, retail, hotels, etc).
Just gotta keep plugging away I guess, but this video was cathartic as hell.

Laughed so hard at this, thanks.
Lost my library officer job of 12 years thanks to eye disease kicking in, been unemployed for a year now, somehow have to force my Mum who thinks I'm not trying hard enough, to watch it.

Loved it, subscribed to the YouTube channel. I'm only visually impaired enough to not be able to drive. But my thick glasses keep me from getting work. There's just so much hate out there and society is loath to admit it.

Shut up and take my upvote.
But, I’m conflicted... I want to share this with my students, but I don’t want to crush their hope.

Is life really this bad?

Well, this was sobering. My kid was just born and he’s going to be legally blind if not completely.
Dig the humor though.

I was just thinking about this for the millionth time. Thing is, I know I could do so many jobs if companies/management would calm down and let me have the time and space required for me to learn tasks that more sighted individuals would likely pick up more quickly (cash register buttons, location of ingredients, physical layout of workspace).
But I do love this video, especially #8. It shouldn't be this hard.

Well this was unexpected and hilarious. Like all good comedy, it hit very close to home. Luckily I beat the odds to become part of the lucky 20 percent, at least for now.
Good luck to all of us still searching.
