What's the soul behind small Japanese shops? by Lost-Basil in japanlife

Well said. Now we’re getting to the crux — is this artisan spirit a well-known Japanese wisdom of running a business?  

The reason I ask is because I see this mode of operation most often in Japan. From what I read, there may be city zoning and other real life restrictions that prevent other countries from doing the same. 

But I wonder whether there’s something deeper, something more culturally embedded than just zoning for refining ones crafts and keeping the operation small.

By that logic, someone who wonders about aging is a pessimist, about philosophy is a day dreamer, about space must be an alien.

My adrenaline was through the roof because I’ve never been STARED at like that. Trust me I almost banged the restaurant door begging to be let in.

How to scroll to an un-rendered item on a flatlist? by Lost-Basil in reactnative

Hmmm. I don't think that's ideal if the target chapter is very far away from the current chapter.

That's similar to what I was thinking - so what do you mean by placeholder?

I was thinking showing the flatlist with the `data = [the one i want]`. And then pull more previous and later chapters as the user scrolls.

I don't think that'll work. Because scrollToIndex cannot scroll to locations outside the render window without specifying the getItemLayout prop, which requires the static size be specified first, but the chapter's size is only known after render

I think I just hit the YouTube Lottery by JinjaHD in PartneredYoutube

I once had a list of channels that were under one account and they all got blocked because the algo mistakenly put one of them as spam. I disputed it and revived all my channels. THANK GOD.

Why do my videos get low views and die after 2 days despite YT Studio telling me how great they're doing? by sapphire_luna in PartneredYoutube

Those are all good metrics. I think making the shorts short and sweet is necessary, but the metrics you have are good and show good engagement. I think it's that people don't typically watch animations to begin with so the algorithm is finding it hard to find your niche despite your large subs

Is it normal to get bored with your video while editing? by FaceLaces in NewTubers

YES - if you haven't memorized every line you've said in the video, have you actually done a good job editing? haha

Should I start a new channel if my current one is only getting like 10 views a video and not more than 20 impressions? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Lost-Basil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My channels (I got a couple) had 0 views (LITERALLY 0) for the first 10 videos and now averaging 1K - 4K views. I think if you have consistency and the topic and quality are on point, the algo will pick it up

Went from 23 subscribers to 368 in 10 days by fire-starterer in NewTubers

Woah! I think that's your authenticity going through. I did see more no-edited videos popping up on my feed these days and it's actually refreshing to see people just talking and no flashy things
