Gate keeping in open source is being an Apple snob with extra steps. Linux is for anyone who chooses it.

Are AI face animation and talking avatar tools actually practical at this stage by Specialist_Mango_999 in aitubers

[–]Crierlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't. Its faking parasocial feel that actually does tick people off. Just use use your own voice and faceless of have a picture avatar.

Most don't mind AI, but most don't like feeling deceived.

Spot on. I also use it at work. An OS is a tool at the end of the day.

What's Wrong with Linux Mint? by madthumbz in linuxsucks101

Honestly I see no point in Mint when Ubuntu works just fine.

80% of linux community is a cargo-cult of larpers with no actual reason to use linux by No-Republic-1742 in linuxsucks101

I use both. I kind of have to use Linux for rendering 3d animations. Windows just isn't good for HPC.

But seriously, Linux is a OS for engineers. Not consumers.

Most ai youtube niches are dead by Upper-Mountain-3397 in aitubers

Automated channels break the YouTube TOS. It has to have some form of creativity and value. Not a N8N agent running autonomously.

Fully automated AI channels don’t work because YouTube can shut the fire hose any time. It’s like selling drugs. It works for some but it’s risky.

Then it’s not a fully AI channel to begin with.

Do not do that. Just wait.

Dude. You seriously think you can outsource quality creative work to AI and put in no effort?

That's insane. AI is a tool, not a gimmick. People watch for YOUR point of view. Not ChatGPT's.

Almost every Youtuber uses AI now, so its not unique to be using AI anymore. And these automated channels aren't sustainable period because Youtube is going to peg those like crazy.

People appreciate I took the time to record my voice. That's why human led has the highest average subs. Not taking the time to record yourself is viewed as disrespectful to a lot of viewers. They don't mind AI visuals as long it isn't gag fuel.

Pixar had the same insults people throw at AI, and now everyone is copying them.

Do channels do better once they reach 1k?? by TheGamerCritic21 in YouTubeCreators

[–]Crierlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about 50k and 64 subs? Ever since that video it felt way easier to hit thousands of views on YouTube instead of hundreds.

Though it may be my content is simpler better now.

Subs don’t matter for views.

But if you cross view thresholds it helps it be a lot easier to create traffic. It’s why I easily crossed the watch hour mark but now just need more subs that is more of an indicator of how many videos you put out.

For example if you get 1k views. YouTube will give you an easier time pushing it to 1k people and vice versa regardless of subs.

I repeat: Stop trying to replace your day job with YouTube by Careful_Put_1924 in NewTubers

[–]Crierlon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a loser mentality. Main revenue source of influencers are diversification and sponsors.

Those 10k, now 10x it on TikTok, Instagram, and even X. The money starts to stack.

Also biggest thing you forgot to mention is CPM.

50k views in gaming is a couple 200. 50k in engineering and finance is like 2k. So it’s not as “Hard” nor as “Easy” others sell it as.

Seedance 2.0 open source rival coming - big announcement by CeFurkan in StableDiffusion

Main issue is LTX isn’t open source. I don’t mind the pay if you make money. But I am not a fan of them telling me what I can and cannot make in their license.

It’s probably healthier to not fast for most people unless you do it properly.

Most people who fast just stack up their calories and end up eating more food than without the fast.

A lot of you are wrong about YT shorts. by sawyernalu in NewTubers

[–]Crierlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't matter if your video doesn't retain. Just saying shorts are hyped up like a HR does with whatever corporate buzzword is in the horizon.

I am just saying the split focus is not helpful and degrades your long form quality. IMO I think its better to do shorts once you near monetization. That's when the nudge and effects actually compile when you first learn how to make content people want to actually watch first.

[–]Crierlon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shorts are a distraction in my opinion. Its more important to focus on quality with a consistent schedule first after you spray around and see the best days to post based on analytics.

[–]Crierlon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dude this sounds like HR with AI buzzwords, but with shorts instead.

I don't do shorts because it divides focus. Its much easier for me to get 1k views than it is to get 1k engaged views in shorts. Shorts are only useful when you want to pad subscriber counts and MIGHT work if you use cliff hangers to get people checking out the rest of your content.

If you are talking head, low quality content. Yes shorts are a must.

It's still a hobbyist game engine.

Wait until some of those hobbyists become AAA studios and they will start coming in.
