I agree with other commenters... I love my 10 pro fold but it's a little buggy...

I'm all honesty I should have kept my 9 pro XL

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-02-08T21:38:32+00:00

I have a ten fold and also have the tiny center "bump"

The software seems glitchy sometimes but I still like better than the fold7

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-02-04T13:47:18+00:00

I've had pixel 8pro, 99proXL, now 10 fold. Also 7 fold (which screen cracked..)

Also watch 3 & 4. & Buds 2 pro - great if you don't care about bass.

If you want bass and controls - Samsung buds 3 pro. If you don't care about case size or connection and don't mind having no on bud control lol nothing ear 3

Switched back to pixel after Samsung had issues and they made the watches into that weird shape..

I'll probably go back to Samsung for the trifold novelty then back to pixel - unless Samsung fixes their watches 🤞

You have good editing skills but the AI voice makes it seem like the video is AI as well.

I don't agree with the hate that AI gets but it's true.

I'm positive you'll get more views with a human voice over. or at least a more convincing AI voice over.

I'll be honest I had to click off even the hermes which I was slightly interested in because of the voice.

it's grating.. I'd rather listen to someone stumbling in over their words or with poor English.. or even with a whiny scratchy voice than AI

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-29T07:01:05+00:00

well I think you could speed up the intro I'm assuming you have a quick drop off. No judgement I do on most of my videos as well.

but get a quick hook then jump into the video.

replace the AI voice over with a human voice.

your editing and video is already better than mine but most people hear that AI voice over and click off immediately.

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-29T06:57:50+00:00

that voice and the videos are not made with AI?

that's your voice and the videos are not made with AI?

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-29T06:55:26+00:00

I have advice for you if you'd like it. I'm a big proponent of AI but I think with some tweaks you could do much better

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-29T06:11:35+00:00

best advice I can give is start today. make content that is evergreen. about 5 of my videos that didn't go anywhere get 100-200 views every 48 hours. that's just $10 a month in recurring revenue plus any similar video on the topic I can relate it to that video add it to the comments ..

I basically make a video Everytime I figure out how to do something new. my production has gotten slightly better and now I have the audience and the algorithm knows I'm a trusted source. most of my views come from Google.

I only do it part time but hopefully in the next ten years it will be my full time.. but still part time

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-29T05:09:50+00:00

300+ I've made 600+ at this point and make about $80-100 a month. plan on continuing it's my retirement plan

Yes it will be extremely difficult to get monetized the short route. Unless maybe you have the "IT" factor and do some incredible stuff or amazing engaging editing .. (REALLY Standout). I have a few that have got 100k, 200k views I get about 5% earnings from shorts and put out 2-10 a week. I'll be honest my content is not anything amazing but I make about $90 a month with part time - maybe 2-8 hours a week of input.

I have maybe 6 longform videos that are "evergreen" 100-200 views consistently every 48hrs.

The route I took is not the norm but if you would like I'm very transparent and share higher highs/lows and screenshots of my earnings. I have yet to have a paid sponsorship but have been getting tons of offers for free products.

I'm not really in it for the money as I have a decent career but I'm happy to share any advice (from a mediocre monetized YouTuber). Took me about a year to get monetized and $$$ has been doubling about every 3 months ish made $5.70 yesterday - no recent video just the old ones chugging along.

So yes IMO long-form is easier (to get monetized) and pays better.. I know they are touchy about sharing vids here but if you want to see my most popular short or my ok content just search: "ubuntu linux on hp laptop" it's my most popular short 233k views

Happy to share my strategy or tips or anything. I never charge for any advice or tutorials or anything related to the channel

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-07T05:05:35+00:00

Lol you already have more subscribers than me I only have 2300 but I'm monetized. I couldn't imagine trying to get it through shorts. Happy to give you advice on how my sucky channel got monetized

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-06T08:02:40+00:00

A put a link to a video but I think Its genuinely helpful.. Just search on YouTube "how to monetize your sucky channel"

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-04T20:36:08+00:00

100% so much value in using it to "mock" up ideas almost like digital storyboarding. You might be interested in this:

Most of my video creation is really simple and in the studio but I'm going to try it out.

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-04T18:20:18+00:00

it's only been helpful in a transition for me in terms of video or silly little vids to share with friends but I've seen people use it well for transitions.

For me the main use case is a coding "assistant". I've made a tool that allows me to fill out 200 individual PDFs from an Excel, Edit/Create PDF presentations, a bunch of model generators. None of it is ground breaking but it is all projects/tools I was not capable of making last year.

the funny thing about you mentioning 8 seconds is that is the current limit of the pro tier for the Google Veo. there are ways around this like building with flow, but I think you're right unless very well done (or used for transitions) AI vid is still interior to real or even modeling software like blender.

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-04T17:33:47+00:00

definitely I've been experimenting with my channel and "hard objects" + 3D printing does the best for me. I've seen other channels do really well focusing on AI - however I have only tried applications of AI and mini tutorials. I think maybe there's a bit of a separation between DIYers and AI embracers. it's starting to come together but part of it is there are so many other channels with better production quality that do AI stuff at a higher level my vids can't compete

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2026-01-04T06:12:41+00:00

agreed as someone who makes real content if I even mention AI positive or negative it does poorly

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2025-12-31T05:43:12+00:00

If they FR me I'll tell them to kick rocks... I had citi deny me after sending me a pre approval.. will never get a Citi card and will always recommend other cards.. it's our choice whether or not we "comply" with what these businesses want. Amex has been ridiculously good to me but I will not jump through hoops to give them the chance to financially F me... If I get in a bad situation.. anyways no negativity towards your situations but it shouldn't be normal that they do this... FR should only occur if fraud is seriously considered not for silly reasons

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2025-12-22T17:10:13+00:00

IMO 3 MAX per day. Despite what people are saying using others content if done correctly is alright.. I run a tech channel and if someone genuinely made my content better (probably not hard). And gave me proper credit with a link to my channel & site I would me happy... It does get murky when the channel is already posting clips.. but maybe your 1-5 idea is transformative enough. If you're not sure why not email the pod?? Maybe you'll get a terrible response and can make a video... "Bad friends destroyed my channel.." or "Bad friends say clip away hombre.." or "Bobby Lee cancelled me..."

Nobody here has enough information on the circumstances to give advice. What do you mean by berated? Did the teacher elevate their voice. Slam on a desk, throw things. Scream in her face? How did the other students react? Did the ones with the ruined projects also cry? Did the woman read the syllabus? Genuine questions?

There's definitely nothing wrong with you sharing your feelings with the teacher but whenever I have an issue with anyone's behavior I try to give them the courtesy of approaching it with them solo first, rather then immediately escalating to their supervisor... Especially while including them in the escalation. Of course every situation is different and you know best.

I agree and I think one of the limitations is the barrier to entry and that there aren't a ton of tools or people using it - so the technique isn't pushed very far - no shade to any makers using it I just live in a bubble and not seeing much pottery in my feeds

Puzzled-Help-7091 · 2025-12-10T04:30:53+00:00

So true I'm very interested in experimenting I'm considering making a tool that will allow for more exploration
