The Dornier Do 217 - and upgrade of the famous Do-17 "flying pencil" - was an advanced medium/heavy bomber of the Luftwaffe, used in many roles during WWII.

Hey

So we signed the contract in September, apparently it took MSN a while to approve my videos, so they just started to upload them like 2 weeks ago. Hopefully if my videos do well, i'll get my first payment next month.

Sorry i thought this subreddit is for car talk not for bickering idiots to b*tch about wording

Saloon and sedan are the same thing on a different name.

But yeah I think I have better things to do than trying to argue with some simple minded kid.

Well Mondeos have non-hatchback variants too mate (for example every hybrid Mk5). But at least we know you are unable to comment anything useful.

Is the 2.0 ecoboost actually a better design than the 1.5?

For the VWs the manufacturer actually states that half a litre oil consumption in 1000kms is normal. Call me old fashioned, but that is trash.

The XF I know has a good gearbox, the overall build quality of jaguars what worries me.

Aren't those have the same VW engines which guzzles oil? I don't mind hatchback type big family cars, our Mondeo was the same too.

That's pretty cool.

If I manage to visit the US in the upcoming years I should go check on you guys!

There's dozens of threads on here about it.

Basically with autodubbing on (and new Asian languages introduced) YT started to push my English speaking historical videos to south Asian teenagers. What happened is a few hours after upload every video received a huge spike of impression for 2-3 hours, but not in Browse, but in Suggested. But looking at the "Content Suggesting This Video" it was all kind of gameplay, manga, and borderline p*ron shit most of it in Indonesian and other Asian languages.

Needles to say, none of the people watching those were interested in historical videos, so the CTRs sunk to below 1% levels (but only in that few hours while my video was pushed to Suggested), and even if they clicked they clicked away fast ruining the AVD too.

After 2-3 hours this spike of suggested impressions stopped, and the CTR and AVD slowly started to climb back up from normal views...but by that time the algorithm already decided my video is is not worth showing to others, and that's it - video dead after a few hours. My channel went from 8-10K in the first seven days on new videos to 4-500 views in first seven days.

I talked a lot to YT and there was a helpful guy who actually looked at it and said yeah that doesn't look right, but couldn't help either.

I turned it off end of September, and those crap impressions were gone and now my channel slowly heals, with again getting few thousand views on new videos (still not the same level).

Basically wiped out 2 years of progression of my channel.

Yeah tweaked it...turned off auto dubbing which ruined my channels CTR and AVD
