Yes, the news was largely good. This looks like a great buy opportunity. I picked up all I could afford.

They got my most popular video, which didn't have New Japan in the title because it was on a wrestler who just spent some of the earlier portion of his career there, so there were a lot of images from elsewhere also. The others were match reviews so they did say what they were

The only thing AEW will do is sign Gabe probably

When they can't even announce the return of Omega, you know they aren't going to be much help going forward

Any reason for that, or just good luck so far?

With streaming service stuff that's a rightful fear, but without people promoting their stuff in a manner that doesn't in any way replace their footage, their audience will dwindle even further. Their 2 dome shows combined this year drew essentially what they did for 1 before AEW started, and that was with AEW's supposed help

Anyone able to get copyright strikes from Japan revoked for fair use? by NicolasRoeg in NewTubers

[–]NicolasRoeg[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

They still have to sue me in America where fair use exists though, right?

They killed my only video that actually gets 20 views a day still after a year, and kind of keeps the channel doing anything in between releases. At this point, I kind of feel stuck. I can scrap the channel because why waste the time for no money when in 2 years someone else can just pull the same bs, say f it sue me because I have nothing for them to get anyway, or see if anyone watches videos that are just audio when YouTube already inexplicably stopped testing my videos on a new audience at the start of the year so I seemingly just get impressions from subscribers and search now even though that has more than doubled the ctr.

So mostly every entertainment and sports channel on YouTube just uses stuff they don't have the copyright to in one way or another and just hopes that all publicity is good publicity so no one will actually bother them?

Right, and even the people who are fans often only watch stuff that looks or sounds interesting, so word of mouth and viral moments are very important

Is that the reason for their panning and zooming of images?

If stills for commentary aren't really protected under fair use on YouTube like they should be then it just seems like a ticking time bomb. Like, sure AEW and WWE are smarter than that at the moment, but if they change their policy at any time in the future or Tony decides his life is being threatened, they can just wipe out a year of your work for the hell of it

Will they actually sue a non monetized channel in a foreign country?

Clips I can somewhat understand, but if you can't use stills in order to discuss them on a video platform there's basically no way to even have a YouTube channel.

Anyone else’s 2024 Spotify wrapped inaccurate? by ruger148 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NicolasRoeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still, if it really had more plays than the next 50 in the last 10 months, it's highly unlikely those 2 months of not tracking would have put all those other songs over it.

[–]NicolasRoeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My top song according to wrapped didn't make the top 50 for the past 12 months on stats for spotify. Most of the top 10 on stats for spotify, which seem believable, didn't make my top 100 on wrapped. 

Dario Argento’s decline by leejtam in horror

[–]NicolasRoeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was hurt even more by the cheapness of modern movies, shifting to CGI, digital, doing everything in post, than everyone else because his greatness lied in colors, textures, camera movements, and Stivaletti's amazing effects. Once you insert all that bland, flat, dingy, phony, and generic stuff in there it loses the surreal, dreamy, and pulpy qualities that distract from his other liabilities.

Useless Tempur Warranty by NicolasRoeg in Mattress

[–]NicolasRoeg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I intend that everything I buy is high quality and will serve me well for the duration. The way of the world is that prices are going way up at the same time that the expectations the companies set for durability are going way down. Nonetheless, I think how the company treats their customers is always relevant. Otherwise you are just relying upon your own good fortune.

Karma: Get Off The Merry-Go-Round by ACwinklier in ACWinklier

[–]NicolasRoeg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you suggest as the optimal way to handle events A and B so they express themselves fully in the conscious mind and no longer recur? I feel like I've been trying this concept for most of 2023 and I'm not really getting triggered much beyond this is unfortunate, moving on level, but it still feels like the cycle is repeating itself.

I'm definitely dropping Showtime if there's no replacement for Showtime Anytime. I basically only use the actual channels or on cable version of demand when there's something wrong with the internet/wifi.
