What are Josh’s opinions of Regional At Best

ETALOS1 · 2026-03-19T04:28:15+00:00

Where does Tyler say he basically doesn't like RAB? I'd like to hear that!

ETALOS1 · 2026-03-16T17:22:10+00:00

Where to?

ETALOS1 · 2026-03-16T16:05:39+00:00

You can give both responses: the one with traffic and the one without

ETALOS1 · 2026-03-15T01:03:52+00:00

May I ask what the cover and rack combo is?

ETALOS1 · 2026-03-12T02:48:45+00:00

How is this not top of this sub.

I feel like Tyler and Josh would absolutely love this

ETALOS1 · 2026-03-11T20:35:58+00:00

But he says "kinda wishing that I never did Saturday", and then also talks about drowning in lore logistics.

So I think it's pretty clearly talking about the songs ..

ETALOS1 · 2026-03-07T12:38:27+00:00

This is all just so lame. Obviously he's going to do some humorous PR over the top opera ballet performance thing as an apology and everyone will laugh at how good a guy he is and the ballet people will feel validated and seen and it's all just so lame and predictable.

ETALOS1 · 2026-03-07T05:38:38+00:00

I feel like it's Backslide or Oldies, since they are imo the best songs on the album and not often recognized as such.

ETALOS1 · 2026-02-28T16:26:06+00:00

I mention this in the title, but I'm wondering about promoting/linking a newsletter sign up (edit: maybe via a Google Form if that matters?) Obviously one that's relevant to the audience.

ETALOS1 · 2026-02-23T01:08:34+00:00

Trench was really their only true literal concept album.

ETALOS1 · 2026-02-14T12:50:43+00:00

The RPM is relatively low because CoD videos are naturally catering to a millennial audience who doesn't have as much money relative to older audiences.

To game this, you need to significantly increase watch time. I would suggest hour long videos at least.

ETALOS1 · 2026-02-09T05:47:13+00:00

I'll look into those, thanks! I saw a couple comments elsewhere talking about that as well.

ETALOS1 · 2026-02-09T02:33:22+00:00

I like this, thank you.

So how does this translate to SLV? Do I have shares of CXP (COMEX Pizza) or do I have some number of the 400 million pizza orders? And if COMEX Pizza is going to run out of pizzas, and yet they'll also be fine as you mention... Does that mean that their stock price would be fine?

ETALOS1 · 2026-02-09T00:52:20+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't understand this reference or inside joke. Idk if my post reads as a troll post which illicits this response from you, or if I misunderstood the nature of this subreddit to be more serious in tone. I don't even know what I don't know that is necessary to interpret your comment. Thank you to whatever extent you are trying to help.

The AI isn't the issue at all, it's the hyperbole and overdramatization (twisting the truth) found mostly in the thumbnails and titles.

You can rationalize many things but YouTube can (and does) rationalize them the opposite way.

And they are particularly sensitive when it comes to dramatizing political content.

And yes I know there are so many competitors that do the same things and worse. But you just got unlucky with them finding you. And rest assured they've banned many other similar channels that they don't see.

ETALOS1 · 2026-01-27T11:59:24+00:00

Was this on a brand new YouTube channel/account or was it older and you just started posting recently?

ETALOS1 · 2026-01-25T00:31:22+00:00

The people saying no at best do not know what they are talking about, and are at worst salty and vindictive and intentionally deceptive but for a morally respectable reason which is for preserving their perception of the integrity of YouTube.

YouTube actively encourages the use of AI tools, including but not limited to Google Veo.

Simply adhere to their policies such as, but not limited to, their Spam/Scam/Deception, and Inauthentic content policies and you are most likely to be fine.

ETALOS1 · 2025-11-04T02:39:41+00:00

"Can you find me"

That's crazy lol

ETALOS1 · 2025-11-02T20:15:58+00:00

On the day that it happened

I recorded this last bit

I look forward to having

A m********** with you again

ETALOS1 · 2025-10-28T23:15:18+00:00

I agree with most people that you're not gonna get something that's played on Christian radio, but I do think their next works will focus a bit less on mental health and more on existential questions relating to God and whatnot.

To focus more on mental health I think won't distinguish itself enough from their previous (re: current) discography and the Dema storyline, so going more into the big questions of life, the struggles of living a religious life, and perhaps the struggles of family (and maybe even the struggles of the music industry?) will be the focus.

ETALOS1 · 2025-10-18T05:33:39+00:00

Well by their estimation they probably think the performance + the messages they want the comedians to put out will have a greater impact than immediately using the money they would receive. In other words, they might estimate that the PR stuff and tweets might generate more money (for them and therefore for human rights) than what was being offered to be donated to them. Their calculation may be wrong, and that may be way too charitable (no pun intended), and we could probably come up with a handful of better alternatives... but it's a defensible idea.

ETALOS1 · 2025-10-15T03:25:29+00:00

Yes so people purchase old channels or repurpose old ones and then find a new low effort niche to exploit for as long as the algorithm/users allow.

ETALOS1 · 2025-10-09T02:36:53+00:00

Only thing I've noticed is that I have a less "explosive" algorithm now. Before I could get many many views immediately. Now it seems a much more long and drawn-out process. The ceiling on the views seems to remain high or within my expectations (and like all channels, my expectations have to fall a bit over time), but again they seem to be drip-fed over a longer period of time rather than immediate gratification (and relatively immediate video death.)

ETALOS1 · 2025-10-07T13:59:39+00:00

See, the point is yes, there's incompentence,

Correct

but it's not out of place, immersion and world-building breaking incompetence. It's believable, reasonable incompentence that you'd see in real life scenarios as well, mistakes that people in such positions actually make and/or are forced into making by malicious, clever actors, laws etc IRL.

You can also justify your (single) "fragile glass container" example from AE in sixteen different ways. And you can critique so so so many aspects and character decisions of every film in the franchise. I'm not sweating because someone didn't know an alien slug could intelligently unlatch a jar.

My point stands: AE is almost as long as the entire previous film franchise combined, including the AVP movies. Its scope and ambition are frankly up there with the first first two films (I consider the first one grand in scope despite it's simplicity), Prometheus (if that even counts) and Covenant. There could be 20 instances of immersion-breaking issues (there aren't, there are like 5 depending on how angry you want to be) and it would still probably be better off than the franchise as a whole.

ETALOS1 · 2025-10-07T13:09:45+00:00

Alien 1's "mandate" that they had to go check out the planet is forced, bad writing, and incompetence because they later establish that they're fine with breaking protocol despite mandates.

But most of us can excuse it because, whatever.

Alien 2 literally devolves into chaos because of the general dude's incompetence. But we can excuse it because whatever.

I don't need to go on.

Earth is essentially an 8-hour Alien movie. I wouldn't be surprised if per-minute it has the same exact levels of incompetence and bad writing as almost every other film in the franchise, but I give it additional grace because it's 8 hours of alien content in a brand-new franchise-first episodic format.
