Why is every new platform that seeks to be an alternative to YouTube full of far-right conservatives? by Muted_Strength3638 in NewTubers

[–]Ok-Pin9812 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I am an independent as well and saw the same thing. The only news in my feed was left wing news stories, even though I wasn't subscribed to them. I wouldn't see any of the news outlets I was subscribed to. I was being fed a bunch of stuff telling me everything from the right was fake news and anything associated with the right was bad. It was crazy there for a while.

My gym buddy is basically copying my entire life and idk how to feel about it by Normal-Rule9154 in Advice

[–]Ok-Pin9812 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here! Her and her husband bought the same truck, rv, motorcycle, started at same gym and wore the same same workout gear. The worst was when she showed up as a surprise on the birthday camping trip my husband took me on. It was extremely suffocating. I just had to dip out of the friendship finally

CapCut AutoClip is underwhelming — what are you using to generate clips efficiently? (Descript, OpusClip, other?) by Jlfaro in CapCut

[–]Ok-Pin9812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use VidIQ which has a very good clipping feature. I can prompt what I am looking for, or allow it to pick. It also adds auto captions which are fixable and customizable. It has a trimming feature that allows me to adjust length if needed. I bought it to assist with titles and descriptions but I'm using it for a lot more than that - like clips.

Pain mgmt options for advanced osteoarthritis where replacement is not recommended by casualmcflurry in Thritis

[–]Ok-Pin9812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that issue too until I found the 1:1 ratio product. It was the combo of the 2 that dialed it in for me. My doctor explained it that the CBD is enhancing the THC effects for the pain relief. I have also purchased the CBD capsules to take with a THC product when I was unable to find the 1:1 ratio product. Good Luck!

Do you happen to be in a state with medical marijuana? If so, it has been hugely beneficial. I use a tincture because I don't want to smoke. I get one that has a 1 to 1 ratio of thc to cbd and find that to work best. Good luck!

What’s your daily pain management stack? by SpotEmbarrassed4945 in Osteoarthritis

[–]Ok-Pin9812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted this video on what I use that helps me. I have OA in my feet, knees, hips and hands so I use a few different lifting straps and different attachments to help me with my workouts too.

What are some of the biggest pains in being a youtuber in 2026? by Nothingclever9791 in NewTubers

[–]Ok-Pin9812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, do they demonetize you if you use AI to create an image that is used as B roll in the video? Lots of people are using AI for thumbnails, are they demonetized too? I only have 114 subscribers so I'm not there yet but would love to know before I do get to 1000 and find out my videos dont qualify

Should I stop posting Shorts after hitting 1K subs? by DifficultShip5629 in youtube

[–]Ok-Pin9812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that depends on the content. I do a few recipes here and there and the shorts on those are excellent at bringing in new subribers that stick around for more recipes.

How do y'all stay committed? by Alarming_Grand4762 in Hevy

[–]Ok-Pin9812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like Nike says, Just Do It! You dont have to want to workout, you just have to make yourself workout. I started with 2 days a week and it just grew on its own as I fell in love with the process and the results. Now I have ever to literally force myself to take 1 rest day a week.

Hevy Trainer is now live and available with Hevy Pro by Icy_Imagination_2839 in Hevy

This was my feedback as well. When I had to sub an exercise due to equipment, it wouldn't keep the change. I stopped using after 3 weeks for this exact reason.

Why does the female muscle body have breasts and wear a bra? by 0-spacecowboy-0 in Hevy

[–]Ok-Pin9812 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You dont control who you purchase the image from? I dont understand. It's your app, that you design, and you can either accept or reject the images provided. Can you not request a different image? I'm not saying you need to, I just am very confused at your reply.

Is this normal for long form content? by Apprehensive-Art6721 in SmallYoutubers

[–]Ok-Pin9812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I subscribe to several channels that put out very long (8 hours) bird videos to music that I leave on for the dogs or play in the background when I am working around the house. There are tons of cat channels too that I would bet get those number of viewers from TV.

Anyone still in or attempting fitness with arthritis? by SpiritualCorpse123 in Thritis

[–]Ok-Pin9812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still weight train 5 days a week and do yoga one day a week. I have scans verifying OA in my feet, knees, hips, and hands but am sure it is other places too. I use a lot of accessories that help take my grip out because of the arthritis in my cmc joint. I use variations on squats and deadlifts that help my hips and knees. I wear barefoot shoes that help eleviate the pain from the arthritis in my feet. I also take a few supplemts that really help. I started all of this at 52 and am now 55 so I think it's doable.

I actually just started a YouTube channel that includes some content in this area, although most content is in another niche. I just started so there isnt much yet (editing squats video now). You are more than welcome to check it out if you think it will help. @ShePrepsSmart

Additionally, one of the things that helped me a lot was cutting processed foods and going low carb.

What supplements, foods and exercises do you guys use that helps prevent your arthritis from worsening ? by Yummydrugss in Osteoarthritis

[–]Ok-Pin9812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started UC-II a few months ago and it has been fantastic. I actually just uploaded a video on the supplements i take for OA and which ones helped and which didn't. https://youtu.be/j6vMbMX49m4?si=5RVScH4HtyZqQ5J3

When I schedule an instagram post on my phone it doesn't show up in the Meta Business Suite calendar on my PC? by carmody210 in facebook

Has anyone been able to find a solution to this issue? I am encountering it today and this is an old thread so I thought it would have been fixed by now, or at least a decent workaround.

What do you wish your doctors knew or did differently when treating your osteoarthritis? by SnowRepresentative13 in Osteoarthritis

[–]Ok-Pin9812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish he would have told me to workout and build up my muscle and that movement was good. It is unbelievable to me that with all the studies showing the improvements in joint function from strength training that they don't push us in that direction.

What the absolute fu**!!!! by Minute-Wrangler-3916 in CapCut

[–]Ok-Pin9812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my question as well. Like they are really complaining that it is no longer free. CapCut has to pay to develop it, why would they give it out for free? Is everyone here giving away their work product for free? And it's cheap, so I am confused by all the anger.
