No

I do. Ive done it for my own channel (yt 30,000+ channel size) and i produce for companies too.

While im not the biggest creator by far. I have learned a lot about video creation and people pay me very well to create for them. This is the secret sauce:

1. Thumbnail and title are everything (unless your doing shortform). You want a max of 3 elements on a thumbnail. 2 objects and text for example. The goal is raise a question in the viewers mind then pull them in further with the title.

2. Video should start answering the question immediately but ask an even more interesting question before you answer it fully.

And 3. ALWAYS tell a story (in your own way) basic idea is

I want (something)

But (obstacle)

So ( im gonna try this)

If you follow those steps you are miles ahead of most creators.

Ive personally been working on this movie ive cut into bitesize chunks(1-2mins) that will be released daily. I spend a lot of my time on lemmy. But havent really seen a video creator shine here. Seems more comics based. Im wondering if video content 'fits' here. When ive finished shooting it i may try posting here just to see how it feels. But it will at most be an experiment. Also where would i post it? A brand new sublemmy? Its an interesting little idea ive had in my head for a while. I think its a question the community needs to answer.

We'll see if it comes to fruition. In the end, whats the harm? If no one sees it, its not embarrasing...because no one saw it.

15 votes but no comments?

bruh.

🙃

It's better to use decent CAPTCHA or browser check, than block entire countries.

I agree that restricting new accounts is a bad way. In the Fediverse ppl need to move accounts sometimes (when their instance shuts down, for example). Also it discriminates against precious new users; the ones the Fediverse likes best.

Yeah if people can make comments but not create threads that's a decent compromise. I've seen what happens on drupal if I dont regulate it. The pp pill advertisements start flooding in lol.

I personally think new accounts should be limited here too. The past couple of weeks especially I’ve noticed an increased amount of 1 day old accounts posting scams. Region blocking wouldn’t work due to VPNs and the fact that they’re everywhere. I seriously doubt India and Bangladesh cover 99%.

For genuine new accounts being able to comment but not post for 15-30 days isn’t that big an issue. For a troll/spammer it hugely limits their ability to resume shitting up a website.

There's some delightful writing going on in here. A shame finally descends into self-blame

Yeah its 100% location.

We moved Wellington -> Hawkes Bay 7 years ago. Got a larger house, larger garage & doubled the usable section^1^ but spent (slightly) less to buy than what we had just sold.

84m2 2 bed house, 404m2 section, single garage -> 100m2 3 bed house, 640m2 section, double garage.

1. Combo of driveways, placement of the buildings and getting a section half as big again.

I think that may be more an indication of location. I know Aucklanders with a 2 million dollar house and not enough room for a blade of grass, and I know people with a $400k property and a quarter acre section.

Arguably not having space is a good sign you're bourgeoisie.

at least these guys have a real garden and compost bin, instead of a vege pod and a hungry bin, which I think are a better indicator of bourgeois affluence.

Part of me is screaming that having enough yard space for a proper garden and compost bin is the better indicator :-)

Archive link if anyone is having the same insane issues I have with The Post: https://archive.ph/AzNFf

I seem to recall working out what this issue was once upon a time but I can't remember now. All I know is that if I access the site on Firefox desktop, even using a mobile user agent, the site doesn't work and complains about network settings. If I visit on mobile, using the same network, it works without complaint.

Anyway, to the article: at least these guys have a real garden and compost bin, instead of a vege pod and a hungry bin, which I think are a better indicator of bourgeois affluence.

Uh yeah, because my local PC shop had its website hacked and disabled, and then PB Tech bought his domain name as soon as it expired, even though this was a 2-3 person operation. Now that domain redirects to PB Tech. Very convenient for them huh.

It's good to support local. Can you share any other reasons why you avoid PBTech?

I'm never going to support this business. I still buy from the old school computer shop guy.

R&R seems to be their home brand.

They've always been Torpedo7.

No, they were profitable before the buyout. It's why Warehouse Group bought them for tens of millions, and sold them for a dollar.

They were a great store, very sharp pricing and quality gear.

As R&R sports? I remember R&R Sports being like macpac and khatmandu of the early 2000's, quality tramping gear. They probably were profitable but probably not 10's of millions profitable.

Wow.

Was it that unprofitable before the warehouse had it, I wonder?

As a pineapple on pizza person I won't knock it until I've tried it.

Grilled banana on a butter chicken pizza is amazing by the way. Though at that point it's just a big naan bread rather than a pizza base.

If you don't see the problem you might have two classes of enemies now 😂

I honesty don't see this as that different to pineapple. It's a very similar fruit, but perhaps kiwifruit might be a bit too wet?

Yeah, that was straight up heavy petting.

And yeah, failing to follow the instructions of a flight attendant or captain is a serious offence.

The article mentions it progressed past kissing. It's a bold move disobeying a flight attendant while in the air though, I'm under the impression they have a lot of legal power while in the air.

Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that luxury yachts with engine hatches aren’t safe.
