As audiences are less likely to mindlessly [scroll through content feeds](https://blog.newsflare.com/user-generated-content-delivers-real-emotion-to-create-highly-engaged-audiences) to be distracted, they’re instead, seeking experiences that add [meaning to their lives](https://b2b.verizonmedia.com/2020-uk-cm/content-moments-ebook-uk), and as UGC is [35% more memorable](https://www.business2community.com/infographics/millennials-love-user-generated-content-infographic-01497502#kdLIVW1rl8CbZIbX.99) than other media, and 50% more trusted, some would argue the lifeless, story-less form of stock video content doesn't drive high-quality engagement and build meaningful connections with your audience. This brings me to a common misconception I'm noticing when people approach me at Newsflare to buy viral videos or are creative researchers who are researching new ideas for a project they have coming up: > *'UGC videos is not high-enough quality'* > > *'It's filmed vertically on shaky phones'* ## + 192k High-Quality UGC Videos These are all common phrases I hear everyday, but did you know, Newsflare's user-generated content library has over 192k high-quality videos on our platform?
