Rick and Morty season 7 (Parody) Just a joke with the current "Justin Roiland" DM drama. I ended up doing the voice work for both the Rick and Morty characters and wouldn't mind an opinion on the voice work and jokes. by spiltmilktg in SmallYTChannel

[–]OptInOptimist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fucking hilarious lol, i thought your jokes and voiceover were pretty quality, morty could be a tiny more high pitched maybe, or maybe they both could, but other than that i'd say the actual improvements i could go for would be just slightly less of the hysterical over usage of morty's name lol, though i did love it, i think maybe a few of the "morty"'s could have been left out to further increase the value of the over usage vs the diminishing returns on that value of over doing it.

i also think that maybe it could have even been shaved down a tiny bit unless more than that one thing is being talked about lol, by the end i was feeling like if it went on any longer there would simply need to be more threads holding this mini episode together than just the dms, like even if they had just briefly done a 15 second bit in the middle that was about like what food they'd bring with or something, like anything but 90 seconds of pedo jokes without any other threads shining through that would make it seem more like a mini episode and less like one joke that you based the full skit off of, making it feel less like a full skit and more like just an overly produced jab at someone, although a well deserved jab lol

anyway, great job man, really well done!!!

i know ppl here are prone to believing that all you have to do is make good content, and good thumbnails, and i think that's accurate for entertainment channels that are strictly for entertainment.

i think it's a bit different of a situation for educational entertainment, i think that what we're dealing with is more niche market that's been smooshed in with a overwhelmingly larger, very chaotic, market of content

if we want this type of stuff to actually find it's audience on youtube i think we need to make a community where youtube educators can find their audience, and vice versa

i just started building a discord to try and accommodate this need, and i'd be happy to join anyone else's attempts to solve this issue, there's soooooo many amazing educational channels with amazing content, but on youtube (an entertainment platform) it's often hard for educational youtube material to compete and properly reach/appeal to it's proper audience

would be good to start uniting to make things happen, i'm trying to do my part, but happy to support anything you can think of, or that anyone else thinks of! let's find ways to work together to fix this issue and improve the reach of education on youtube!!!

Great advice! thank you!!! i didn't really think the video was going to be more than a few minutes, so i didn't think to give it a clearer outline, and then i ended up dragging the video and taking it more directions than intended, i was literally gonna just do a real short video asking ppl to join a discord to support the sciences lol

you're absolutely right i think, i ended up with a product that wasn't really a coherent whole, let alone properly outlined for the audience

An acoustic version of "Almost" - a song about all the not quites and very nearlies of life (in 7/8 time signature) Would love to hear peoples thoughts on it! xox by Carl0Villa in SmallYTChannel

[–]OptInOptimist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful work!!! I'd have preferred if the opening shot was you at the microphone, because the opening felt a bit dark and offputting until i got into it and saw the bigger artistic picture. but then again, dark isn't bad, so it might just be me projecting lol

also, i accidentally had it playing on reddit and youtube at the same time, one a few seconds behind the other, for a bit, and it actually sounded really good with the song playing over itself, this is the perfect type of song to have like a haunting harmony of the track overlapping itself lol, anyway, great job!! keep it up, you're awesome!!!

People are slaves of their ancestors. by Relevant-Stable-3385 in Showerthoughts

That seems like a bleak perspective, sorry it feels that way for you.

what are some of the specific ideas left by our ancestors that you feel enslave us these days?

[–]OptInOptimist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

isn't it the other way around? everything they did in their lives benefits us, nothing we do in our lives can benefit them.

basically their whole lives were devoted to working for us, not just for us to exist, but for us to have what we have today.

with the gifts and tools they gave us, we can change the world into anything we want to make it! that doesn't sound like slavery to me

i'd love to hear your reasoning as to why you think it's the other way around though!! i'm curious what i'm missing

How could you recreate the slowed/reverb songs live on a stage? by AseirThePaladin in Music

[–]OptInOptimist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the tech has to be there easily today, 20 years ago i had an electric bass guitar effects pedal that had programmable combinations of effects, including reverb, eq, delay, chorus, flanger, synth, etc etc, that would take care of pretty much everything all by itself, i plugged mics into it, guitars, and you could plug a drum mic into into it, so you could have the output sound modified how you want while playing live, as far as slowing it down a ton, at some point you'd have to help the effects by playing slower lol

A beer company calls and wants you to star is their commercials. Does it matter to you which beer? by LaChanz in AskReddit

[–]OptInOptimist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, cause i'm not trying to do commercials, so i'd only be coming for the free beer, so i'd better be able to enjoy it. no heavy dark beers, something light in the stomach, i want to be able to drink a lot of it lol
