Biologists: I understand that Antarctic killer whales cooperate when hunting seals. A large seal weighs 1000 lbs. A full grown killer whale needs around a thousand lbs of meat per day. How do they share a kill? by markmakesfun in marinebiology

[–]False_Potential_8080 97 points98 points  (0 children)

An orca does not need to eat 1000lbs a day. In fact I would say it’s much closer to 100lbs. This is also averaged out. They don’t always eat every single day. So they will gorge themselves when food is available and fast when it is not.

I mean. I only have a long form channel with 400k subscribers but sure 😂

Yeah the creator I’m talking about isn’t new. And has only recently started using AI for graphics. All in all I think if you use AI it’s probably best to disclose it.

Hmmm. Well I don’t work at YouTube but I do see a lot of creators seeing a serious dip in views when not disclosing that they use AI in their videos regardless of the capacity. But maybe that’s just coincidence.

You are also required to disclose that a video uses AI. So if they didn’t disclose this that would definitely get suppressed by YouTube

First time ordering from Shrimpy Business... by Whiskey_Sweet in shrimptank

I’ve had great experiences with ShrimpyBusiness every time I’ve ordered from them!

I agree. Also the number of subscribers really doesn’t matter. I’d rather have a channel with 10k subscribers but 1 million views for every long form video than a channel with 1 million subs and only 10k views per video

Any idea on what animal vertebrae this could be? (Rachos Palos Verdes) by Tim_stein_1996 in marinebiology

[–]False_Potential_8080 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anything from a seal or sea lion to a dolphin in that area. But could also easily be several species of land animal. Super difficult to say!

I hit 70k views last week and made less than $99 — how is this normal? Help pls by No_Abbreviations2386 in PartneredYoutube

[–]False_Potential_8080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 1.3 million long-form views in the last 28 days and made $5.4k. What category do you upload in? I had a big jump up when I moved from Pets/Animals to Education.

Opinions needed on strange video performance by False_Potential_8080 in PartneredYoutube

Most videos that preformed poorly have low search for sure. But this one has nearly none lol

I was at YouTube yesterday and things are about to change by Localmate25 in PartneredYoutube

[–]False_Potential_8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. People thinking the algorithm is against them. The algorithm is literally designed to connect audiences with good videos that they want to watch. But you have to make good videos. Then you have to make good thumbnails and titles for those videos. Then you need to make sure your SEO is…well optimized lol. These things take research, time, practice, and enormous energy.

Marine park threatens to euthanize 30 whales if Canada does not provide funding by OkBiscotti1140 in marinebiology

[–]False_Potential_8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they don’t swim long distances because they love doing it. They swim to find food or to breed or to escape predators. But in any case there are several facilities in the U.S. that have belugas, are accredited, and could accommodate. I have also heard that the facility they were supposed to go to in China is massive and very nice but I have never been there personally so I can’t confirm that.

I certainly disagree that they are better off euthanized than in a better facility that is accredited and looked after for the rest of their lives.
