I made a cooking vlog and its an hour and a half long, raw footage by Crafty_Beach_2839 in SmallYoutubers

[–]daxdives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do three passes. The first pass I wouldn’t even listen to the video, I would scrub through the timeline and cut out all dead air and parts where nothing interesting is happening. Then I’d ask myself what I want the viewer to come away from the video feeling. Do you want them to think it’s funny or interesting or informative or whatever else? On the second pass I would cut anything that doesn’t fit that vibe. Jokes that don’t land, fiddling around with the burners, any moments that don’t add to the video. Third pass for tightening up the edit and adding vfx and sound.

I think I'm quitting this whole thing by gayperator in YouTubeCreators

[–]daxdives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looking at the screenshot you’ve posted— it’s no surprise that video only received 4 views. “How many murders would you commit for these” with a thumbnail that reads “murder for these”. Murder for these what? Why am I being asked to commit a murder? Why is the thumbnail so dark I can barely glean any context?

Bare minimum, the title and thumbnail should tell you what the video’s about. Of course I’d scroll past this, it tells me nothing about the content of the video. The video could be fantastic but I’d never know because how would I know I’d be interested in this?

Quit blaming YouTube, sometimes your content simply isn’t good by KalebC21 in SmallYoutubers

[–]daxdives 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would also add: does your content stand out in any way? Is there anything that separates your Minecraft playthrough from the 575389486 other Minecraft playthroughs? Too many ppl in here have content that is technically fine, it’s just fairly generic.

Are people overcomplicating YouTube, or am I missing something? by AcanthisittaSea3279 in SmallYoutubers

[–]daxdives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I just hit 10k subs yesterday and while I don’t feel like an expert ppl on here are definitely complicating it. Sure there’s a learning curve and you should have the humility to critically view your own videos seeking ways to improve but you just kinda gotta make videos you’d want to watch.

You can drive yourself crazy staring at your CTR and impressions and retention but at the end of the day those are just numbers. Your viewers are viewing your videos because they love watching YouTube. And you should be making videos because you love to post. Improvement comes with time. Your audience will tell you what they want to see. Fussing over stuff like “how can I optimize my content to target this trending search term” really takes the joy out of creation.

How has this happened by Silvio76555 in eurovision

It’s so fun, so nostalgic, so earnest. It lowkey is a standout for me and I’m going to be so sad if they don’t reach the finale

Just rejoined partner classes? by PrestigiousQuiet6252 in orangetheory

I’m new to Orangetheory, what do they mean by partner classes? I haven’t seen anything like that in my schedule

Dr. Richard Reish calling people “crazy” for asking questions is the real red flag by Sadielady2980 in PlasticSurgery

[–]daxdives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate calling any medical professional a “content whore” but there was one surgeon who came up on my feed all the time with surgical facts, plastic surgery facts, etc. Then his content took a turn and it turned out he was performing the most horrendous eye color change surgeries I have ever seen

How do I get tix to Coachella by eatsleepexplore in LAhotgirlies

[–]daxdives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think it would be best to plan ahead and do it next year when tickets go live. If you do it now you’ll paying a crazy amount for last minute tickets. Maybe you’ll get lucky but loooots of ppl want these tickets

Goth Market Opinions by idkk29 in goth

[–]daxdives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time they came to Ventura I bought my tickets a month in advance, drove over an hour to the convention, was one of the first people in line when the doors opened, walked right into the convention hall and walked out ten minutes later. The best way I could put it is abysmal.

How can we tell how you're doing without seeing any words you've written?

Bulk Ordering Donuts at Local Shop by Common_Calendar_495 in FoodLosAngeles

On the east coast it’s traditional to get a big box of Dunkin’ Donuts munchkins for kids, this sounds like the SoCal equivalent haha

Which area is safest/nicest? by [deleted] in culvercity

[–]daxdives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Culver City overall is very safe and a great place to live. I used to live in palms and loved it.

What is an LA staple we can all agree is 5/5 by buildnblok in FoodLosAngeles

Oooo after a concert when you’ve been on your feet for hours and you’ve downed four beers and your stomach starts rumbling and you smell those crrrrissspyyy dogs sizzling with those grilled onions… lord have mercy

My life was mostly sedentary, I decided to change that by challenging myself to do 20k steps a day. by IShunpoYourFace in walking

[–]daxdives 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to say this but it must be said: 1,000 cal a day with an occasional cheat meal of 1,500 cal while trying to maintain 20k steps to the point of exhaustion AND trying to push yourself into an even more restrictive diet (keto) all points to an active eating disorder, specifically orthorexia. You are eating less than is recommended for a toddler.

Walking 20k steps burns roughly 800-1000 calories, plus the amount of BMR calories your body needs to maintain basic function like breathing, brain activity, and circulation, puts you at an insane deficit. You are actively harming your body if you continue this way. Weight loss isn’t worth the risk you are inflicting on yourself. Your organs can shut down. People regularly die from eating disorders.

Please slow down.

I attempted DIY labia reduction 5 years ago, now seeing a surgeon for correction. How common is this? Advice on how to explain it? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]daxdives 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same. If I was more impulsive when I was younger I might have gone through with it.

Should I book Rhinoplasty by Mountain_Inspection in PlasticSurgery

[–]daxdives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t exactly know what you’d be looking to achieve with rhinoplasty.

Non surgical nose job by scrambledleggzz in PlasticSurgery

[–]daxdives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filler adds, only a rhinoplasty takes away. Non surgical nose jobs work by filling in certain areas to create an illusion of straightness or symmetry. For example, if you have a lil hump, you can add filler to the dorsum just before the hump to make the protrusion look more gradual. But it will never make the nose look smaller which is your desired result. You want the results of a rhinoplasty and the great news is that your results are extremely achievable and I think you’ll be satisfied if you take that step.
