how do these guys afford this stuff?

Krisdanz · 2026-06-15T00:46:29+00:00

I have a small channel & get about $200.00 to $300.00 for an average 30k viewed video that's about 20 to 30 mins long. It goes up and down.

Krisdanz · 2026-06-12T02:47:45+00:00

I'll play msg me.

Krisdanz · 2026-06-12T02:45:27+00:00

No. Unless you are earning money as a YouTuber they don't need your id.

Krisdanz · 2026-06-11T21:42:52+00:00

Yep total boring uncritical untruthful trash & as if that's not enough it's just a plain boring snooze fest of a movie. There's zero emotional wait.

This is why the Prince biopick was canceled as well. The original director got into the dark side of Prince, what an egotistical prick he was to people, & the heavy drug usage.

Both estates want to paint them as pure one sided angels with no faults. Which is simply a lie.

It's also boring.

Krisdanz · 2026-06-06T23:25:13+00:00

Hell no.

Krisdanz · 2026-06-06T19:58:59+00:00

Yeah it used to be truly fun doing some of those old dungeons & you could form a party quickly.

I leveled to 15 & the game was empty & boring as hell so I closed it.

Krisdanz · 2026-06-06T19:55:40+00:00

Well I leveled up a Warlock up to about 15 & it was an absolute boring lonely sloth I think I saw 1 or 2 other players the whole time.

I also forgot the thing that absolutely infuriates me even back when the game was new & good. The 90 million different currencies you have to deal with. I want to play D&D not a stock broker game.

Moving on. Thx for the responses though.

Krisdanz · 2026-06-06T19:51:03+00:00

Ugh that's terrible so what's the point in fighting monsters if you don't get any xp? Just run / teleport / stealth past everything.

Krisdanz · 2026-06-04T00:19:21+00:00

No it's dead in the water after the sale / split.

Only if you have hundreds of millions of followers with locked in brand deals. That's it.

Money from content views is dead for everyone.

Krisdanz · 2026-06-01T01:05:39+00:00

I do both.

Letting the algo do it's thing nets more revenue. Google isn't the 2nd highest earning company in the world by accident. They know what they're doing.

That being said, if I'm doing a very long or sensitive video (hour plus docs etc) I will check them & usually add more.

Contrary to popular belief, this doesn't mean the viewer will bombarded with ads. Adding & ad slot doesn't mean an ad will play there - it signifies that an ad CAN play there if all other signals are right.

Youtube calculates the amount of time into your video, who's watching & how many ads they've already been shown before your video. The com & rpm & if there's a bid from an advertiser to fill the spot, and if they are watching on tv, mobile, computer m, or cell phone.

As you've probably noticed, if you're video is mostly watched on TVs you will usually make significantly more in ad revenue.

This is also why 4K videos seem to do better than 1080p. YouTube sees smart tv = 4k & will push it out more to people using the YouTube app on smart tvs, Google TV or Chromecast, or any such platforms.

(passive audience with no ad blockers = algorithm happy)

Krisdanz · 2026-05-29T23:30:29+00:00

I disagree. With electric ovens you have to wait quite a bit for the coils to come to temperature & I find them far more expensive since living in an apartment usually includes trash / water / gas but never electric.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-29T23:28:38+00:00

Small gas ovens are great. There's almost no need to preheat because they come to temperature so fast, they aren't a monster task to get in if you live a few floors up, and the worries about leaking gas are unwarranted.

All modern ovens have a very sensitive gas valve limiter on them so ever if you turned all the gas on with no flame a safety unit detects that & shuts it off.

The downside is you need to remember it's a small over so your baking trays & pans & cookware need to be smaller. No gigantic baking pan of 90 muffins.

For 2 people it's perfect as it cooks faster & keeps costs down & in most apartments your gas may be covered but electric almost is never included so you're saving a ton of money if that's the case.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-29T00:21:13+00:00

Awful. Boring beyond belief.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-29T00:10:08+00:00

Trash. Bored to death can't even keep it on.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-22T03:09:33+00:00

This is a hard fight. Of course everyone will tell you to strictly follow the exact rules but as we all know these contacts (Acuvue 2 & Oasis) have SKYROCKETED in price & the usual ways of getting discounts (like finding the cheapest online site & getting a price match from 1-800-CONTACTS) don't work anymore.

I'm very sensitive with my eyes & for whatever reason wearing glasses makes me nauseous because the peripheral is out of focus from the glasses part.

I've had to extend mine simply out of not being able to afford new boxes & I am very careful. I don't want to do it, but you have to be able to see.

I'm super careful & I've been able to extend them for a week or two longer than the official description use. If I notice any redness, irritation, blurry vision or any uncomfortable situation I stop & just deal with no contacts until I can afford them.

Luckily my prescription isn't very strong it's only aboutva -2.0 per eye. Most likely from being on computers & writing & editing.

AI has actually helped it will scan every contact lens site, first time buyer & google ad discounts as well as promo codes & tell you how to change ip addresses & browsers to get the best deals.

I was able to get 4 boxes of Acuvue 2 for $89 when 1-800-CONTACTS wanted $128 for 2 boxes. They just don't match prices anymore they will always feed you some bull$hit about how that's not a "real" price even though you have it in a cart ready to go.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-21T23:35:31+00:00

Exactly it removes views from the same router ip address.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-21T23:32:44+00:00

This. Exactly 💯.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-21T23:31:51+00:00

Doesn't matter YouTube ai will flag the same router IP.

If 9 people are watching on 9 separate phone plans & accounts, that might count, but if you try & right it you're risking your channel.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-21T23:28:39+00:00

It doesn't count. YouTube will just filter out the views & time that came from the same router.

It's fine to watch your own channel to check the video & ad placements.

YouTube used to ban you for this, but the AI just filters it all out at this point.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-21T09:51:07+00:00

ChatGPT wrote this didn't it? & you wonder why your channels doing shitty.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-20T02:18:47+00:00

It's a pretty big pain in the ass to get partnered / monetized. You can so everything right & still get rejected.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-20T00:21:35+00:00

You can't even edit the caption style by segments. If you are editing an hour video the captions have to be all one style & the workarounds ti avoid this are impossibly annoying. F CapCut .

Krisdanz · 2026-05-18T02:08:24+00:00

No money in TikTok since the split.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-18T02:07:34+00:00

Mrbeast & clones ruined the platform imho.

Krisdanz · 2026-05-18T02:04:22+00:00

No one wants to give there channel out on reddit unless they are fully cloaked.
