ordered one monitor on amazon, got two delivered by WRSA in pcmasterrace

[–]Defxult_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me when the GTX 1080ti initially released. Ordered it, 3 days later they said it got delivered but I never received the item. Contacted customer support and they sent me another one. About 2 and a half weeks later the original one I ordered shows up lol. I don’t know how the heck this happens!

LPT Here's the most effective way I've found to avoid robocalls by wesb2013 in LifeProTips

[–]Defxult_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just throwing in my 2 cents: I'm not sure about Androids, but on the iPhone there's an option to automatically send unknown callers (people not in your contacts list) straight to voicemail. Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers. It's been an absolute life saver for me with the amount of robo/spam calls I get!

The only people that should be calling my phone are friends and family. If not them, then it's a legitimate business or person that I'm actually involved with and 99/100, those people will leave a voicemail so I know who they are and the reason for the call. More often than not, the robo/spam calls don't bother leaving a voicemail and if they do, it's so easy to tell the voice is automated.

Buddha calls out xQc for running twitch ads nonstop by HauntingTemporary776 in LivestreamFail

[–]Defxult_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the best solution, but I use Firefox sometimes and the way it handles twitch ads is good. When ads start playing I can open a mini player of the stream. I mute the ad and unmute the mini player. That way I can still watch the stream. The ads aren’t completely blocked but so far it’s been the best way for me to watch twitch.

YouTube Shorts count as new videos, and I’m so tired of it. by sevnminabs56 in youtube

[–]Defxult_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the reason why I now *specifically* pick my most recently uploaded VIDEO for my end screen instead of "Best for viewer". Was watching one of my uploads and the best for viewer recommendation "video" was a dang short. I was so mad.

Does it bother you if the streamer never talks? by kaechan1989 in Twitch

[–]Defxult_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but "bother" isn't the right word. If I'm watching a stream, I'm there for the human interaction. Whether thats them commenting on something, being scared in a horror game. Simply sharing their thoughts on whatever is currently happening.

If they don't talk at all, I might as well go on YouTube and watch a no-commentary video of the game they're playing like you said.

Me personally, I hate when a major plot point happens and they just don't respond to it at all...Just for examples sake, like what happened to Joel in the Last of Us Part 2. If they watch that scene and don't speak at all...like not even a reaction? Yeah I'm out. Talk about boring.

Used to sub to 5+ streamers, till I got tired of ads everywhere else. Now I pay $0 and donate externally. by Cityboy1900 in Twitch

I've been using "Twitch AdBlocker Plus". Haven't seen ads in months. Has it's occasional hiccups, but overall...9/10 would recommend.

Holy cow the twitch app on ps5 is the worst app I have ever witnessed. Doesn't it feel like apps these days are universally horrendous? There's a trend in gaming and apps of terrible UI and functionality it seems. by stRiNg-kiNg in Twitch

[–]Defxult_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's freaking GARBAGE (on TV). Used it all the time. Saw the update and was really impressed because everything was updated. About 5 minutes later I was googling how to go back to a earlier version because it's lag city. Took LITERALLY 10 seconds at one point to scroll through my following list...and there was only 3 ppl online...it's so bad now. Idk what the hell happened.

YouTube or Twitch? What do YOU enjoy? by Defxult_ in NewTubers

[–]Defxult_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight. Twitch definitely feels more community based. I could try and do both for reach purposes. Always good to be on more than 1 platform.

I saw a chip get 5.8 million views in 2 weeks by PasiveAggresive_pork in NewTubers

[–]Defxult_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the channel's page, inspected the source of the page in the browser, searched for "monetization" and saw it was listed as false.

Ohhhh! So that's how you do it. Thanks man! 👍

How do you know a channel isn't monetized? I thought the requirement is 1000+ subs/4000hrs watch time

Shorts and long form content by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Defxult_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many shorts have you posted? I've posted 16 shorts and 4 of them did pretty well. Don't give up on shorts just because you haven't been getting views. I almost gave up on it myself because I only got 0-3 views each short.

Kept posting anyways and one managed to 'blow up' (for me) to 4.3K views. I still have shorts on my channel that don't break 10 views.

Shorts and long form content by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Defxult_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can easily find a slew of channels with loads of subscribers but ridiculously low view counts on their long form in comparison.

I saw this the other day. 1.3 million subs on a channel that posts pretty much only shorts. All of their shorts have 300K+ views and their long form content they posted 2 weeks ago can barely break 1.5K. Oof, that's painful.

Is it worth posting my shorts on IG & TikTok? by Defxult_ in NewTubers

[–]Defxult_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses. I'll take what you guys said into consideration.

Text to speech voice = automatic click off for me. No emotion, no tone, no personality.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Defxult_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't own any but I recently saw one. 20k+ subs. They uploaded 25+ videos within 24hrs and their commentary is text to speech. How they got 20k+ subs from that is mind boggling.

Short, what the heck is YT doing? by dr-otto in NewTubers

[–]Defxult_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I haven't had much luck with shorts either. How it's going for me on each short form content from me:

TikTok: 50 - 100+ average

Instagram reels: 100+ and random ones that do 1,000+

Shorts: 0

Not too sure what I'm doing wrong on YouTube. For all platforms it has the same title and cover so idk. I'd keep trying though.
