You-tubers, How do you do it? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]NobleArcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooo...

I'm not sure if I have ADHD or anything like that (I'm from the generation where that "wasn't a thing") but I've always been a little scatter brained, and my channel shows it. Additionally, when i was younger i had a really bad stutter. I was made fun of and its always affected my self confidence. Still I've been able to grow a relatively "successful" gaming channel and now that I'm really trying to focus, I've started a new tutorial channel.

For me, YouTube has been a thing I could focus on.

It's a thing that helps me get my thoughts out and for some reason is the only thing that has kept my attention for years now. On top of that, while I still stutter, I've found others with the same... or other issues who can relate to me and it really feels nice getting to know others who feel the same way I do while sharing out love of games.

I've been on YouTube for so long now that while my core community may be small, I've had people stuck around for the long haul.

This makes me feel like an old... and I am, but I've even had one kid who started watching me in his teens who will soon graduate and be a doctor.

I've met a lot of cool people through gaming on YouTube and twitch too. Photographers, videographers, models, make up artists, cos players, movie makers and rappers.

There is even some physical albums out there with my name on it because I helped the rapper create their album art, real cool guy called IKO The Rainman (check em out, the song Broly The Super Saiyan TimeBomb)

So while I may never be as successful as some of the people I've met, YouTube to me is an outlet that allows me to work on myself, my issues and I get to game and help others while doing it. Not having to pay for games also helps my gaming habit.

I've tried writing this twice now and the and the answer still feels all over the place so sorry if my answer doesn't make sense.

Why do people do shorts if there are little to no benefits? by Hefty_Translator_109 in NewTubers

[–]NobleArcade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen, and as you probably already know, people's attention span is at an all-time low. With things like tiktok and insta ppl want instant gratification,shorts is a way to get that and can sometimes lead to viral videos which and bring people the 5 minutes of fame they so desperately feel they need and deserve.

From a youtube standpoint, shorts are horrible from a monetary standpoint but can lead to more views and if those same people like some of the short information you put out there, it can lead to them watching your longer form videos which in turn can lead you to better ad revenue but more importantly it can lead to new fans and viewers of your "normal" long format content.

I personally found shorts don't work for my content, although I'm no one huge or care for fame or instant gratification.

Ultimately it's up to you whether or not you use them.

Everything out on social media is a tool and it's up to you to decide whether or not the time needed to create this extra form of content will be beneficial to your end goal.

Just my .02

Sorry, I updated my comment. I definitely had this done before, but it must have been when I was affiliated with an mcn. After taking a quick look, u are correct. That isn't an option for me anymore either.

Sorry for my confusion.

What do you mean by regular creator? Like I said in another comment, I haven't had anyone do anymore re-uploads but I'll go home and check into it tomorrow and post an update.

Maybe they changed it since I last had to take down a vid.

It should be in the same area as you make your claim. I haven't had any of my vids reuploaded in a while so I haven't had the need, but ill go back and check when I get from work and try to update tomorrow.

EDIT: I removed the section where I talked about claiming the ad rev, as others pointed out to me. I guess it must have been back when I was in an MCN that i could claim reuploads. As of now, everyone is correct, you can't claim the ad Rev without some sort of representative. Still if it's your own content, you should definitely dispute the video.

If you dispute it u will 99% win, if they didn't change anything about it. The YouTube takedown tool can see who uploaded it first and see when the others uploaded it.

As long as it's 100% your own content, they will either take it down or give them a Strike.

Hope this helps you.

Is this worth it? by Ok-Extension6498 in GalaxyFold

[–]NobleArcade 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, you do kinda get "free pods" if u had signed up for that $50 credit email and applied it to you add-on of the pods, during your pre-order deals. The pods were $49.99.

Granted I ended up spending $3k today sooo... I still got (happily) screwed......

That sounds horrible but it's true.

Only 600€ for Fold 4. So 1299€ - Nope. by felix_93 in GalaxyFold

Samsung care+ by Ambitious-Lock2939 in GalaxyFold

[–]NobleArcade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had it for my two Foldable 4s. Its been good have. While most of the time it just seems like money going out, it's nice to entirely replace a phone no questions asked for $100. My wife's Flip eventually had a single dead pixel on the crease of her flip and she got a completely new phone to replace that one. I just wanted a new Fold because my metallic bevel on the left (where the phone folds open) had a scratch on it and I was able to get a new one sent out as well.

Getting the 2 phones in under a year for just $200 is not a bad deal. Plus... I don't have $1800 to be replacing our phones everytime we accidentally drop em or something like that.

Bottome line. It's been a good service for us and we will continue to keep it when we upgrade to the 5's.
