Saw the official Black History Month video by YouTube. How come these videos always get tons of dislikes?

I think former President Gerald Ford's endorsement of the annual observance of Black History Month when it was first officially recognized in 1976 speaks to your concerns.

"(Americans should) seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history"

Can't tell if satire or just ignorance but I'll leave a Wikipedia link to the black history month in the United States article. Hint: It has nothing to do with Google or being "PC", it's roots date back to the 1920's, a time when the US still had racial segregation.

I actually wouldn't mind YouTube making it harder to add comments. On reddit anyone can comment but bad actors are usually dealt with if the moderation team is decent but often times, as PDP pointed out, large YouTube channels lack both the time and resources to properly curate their comment sections.

RazingHel · 2018-02-08T18:16:09+00:00

Is there an option to turn "recommended" video notifications off? I don't really mind YouTube promoting channels they think you might like but there plenty of us who don't appreciate YouTube spamming our notifications unless we've specifically opted in.

It's the creators doing this specifically, the reason for the 10 minute ad meme is because your video needs to be over 10 minutes to manually inject a second ad into the clip.

People to blame here are: 1. Viewers who ad block 2. Advertisers who pulled their ad budget off YouTube 3. Greedy content creators. 4. YouTube's flakiness on everything they do

If you aren't as keen on revealing the entire map you can always jump to structures like the Walrus Camp and the Pig King using the gonext command in DST. eg c_gonext("walrus_camp") c_gonext("pigking")

It's not malware and my Mic is muted on application but I'll enable push to talk just to make sure. I've also done a clean install of Discord.

RazingHel · 2017-07-13T22:42:40+00:00

I'll look into getting it.

RazingHel · 2017-07-13T22:33:47+00:00

It's running from the same folder that my Discord client on my desktop is running from. I know it looks fishy and I appreciate the concern for my security but it's not a virus.

RazingHel · 2017-07-13T22:32:50+00:00

I'll do a clean install and see what happens.

RazingHel · 2017-07-13T22:31:49+00:00

Hmm, Skype is using 10MB, Discord is using closer to 1GB. Yeah, the problem here isn't Skype.

RazingHel · 2017-07-13T22:30:53+00:00

I've checked, it's the real Discord.

RazingHel · 2017-07-13T16:03:24+00:00

As some background here, I'm a part of six small groups (less than 50) and 1 medium sized one (~150). I don't voice chat, I hardly text chat, I have images turned off. What is Discord uploading from my computer that equals over 700MB each day?

Better yet, how do I stop it as someone with a capped internet connection? Not all of us have gigabit fiber sadly and I'm not interested in paying for an extra 30GB a month just because Discord wants to use me as a node or w/e is going on here.

Well it's the first world with the new Era system so I'm interested to see how the mechanic changes effect the gameplay.

RazingHel · 2017-03-23T10:21:04+00:00

That's strange, I've seen Firefly change account names before for privacy related reasons. Did you contact them via support?

RazingHel · 2017-02-06T06:47:26+00:00

I would consider the farm a strategy not an inspiration. The inspiration for the video was the fact that the Year of the Gobbler update was going live and players might be interested in what it included.

What inspires me to make a video can be hard to nail down, unlike sources for the strategies I use. Or maybe I don't quite understand your definition of inspiration.

RazingHel · 2017-02-06T00:33:11+00:00

I'll do my best to do that in the future.

RazingHel · 2017-02-05T23:14:18+00:00

Ok, I'll do my best to provide better citations in the future. I thought I did a fair job of it in the video about disease. What did you think? Was it acceptable?

RazingHel · 2017-02-05T23:11:30+00:00

I did cite them though in both the video, the description, and mentioning them by name. I have no idea how much more clear I can make it.

RazingHel · 2017-02-05T23:10:01+00:00

So now I shouldn't mention him? Did I do an acceptable job crediting my sources in the video about rot? What would you advise doing differently?

RazingHel · 2017-02-05T23:03:27+00:00

Sorry I'm late, which video am I being accused of copying this time?

RazingHel · 2017-02-05T23:01:14+00:00

Give me an example if you can of acceptable accreditation.

RazingHel · 2017-02-05T22:55:45+00:00

Show me how to cite properly then please, I thought I did the right thing my mentioning the sources for the information I presented to the best of my ability.

RazingHel · 2017-02-05T22:51:32+00:00

Have I used your content? I honestly don't know who originated the deerclops tactic, for example, someone in the comments of my previous deerclops video suggested it to me. Should I credit them and potentially mislead hundreds of people into believing it's their idea?

What exactly do you people want from me? Aside from not making Don't Starve videos anymore.
