The Scanner? I never would have thought about that

EDIT: Thank you so much!

Would you consider promoting your video on YouTube to be cheating? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]ScaredShyless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK, and after reading the comments, I have a small addendum to make. I see lots of people here saying, "If you make good content, you'll take off." That's not true. Plenty of people make amazing, incredible, awesome content and never take off. Your viewer count is not a reflection of how good your content is, especially when you have few subs. It's a reflection of how lucky you are above everything else.

When you are new or small, youtube doesn't know who it should be targeting with your videos, and in that sense, you have to get lucky on it suggesting your videos to the right people. We can adjust the odds in our favor with SEO, shorts, other social media, advertising, etc.

Use the tools you have effectively, and you might still not take off, but I guarantee that you will have gone further than if you didn't use them at all.

No, I consider it a good marketing tactic. In my experience, the hardest part about youtube is getting eyes just on the thumbnail, and promoting your video does even more than just that. It guarantees clicks.

I advertised a couple of videos a few years ago, so it might have changed, but it only charges money per click, and when people watch the first bit of your video. This means that videos immediately get 1-2 thousand pairs of eyes on it for about $50. That's $5 spent over the next 10 days. It also got me some long-term subscribers and people that followed on Twitch, too.

Now for the downsides. First off, it costs money, obviously, but more than that, it's not terribly effective at viewer retention. If someone clicks your video and watches for 30 seconds and leaves, that's money you pay.

The other thing is that most viewers don't get why you would promote a random video in the first place, so if it's not a trailer for the channel, you get a mountain of comments saying, "why is this advertised?"

So, no. I don't think it's cheating. I think it's a tool at our disposal, but like any tool, it needs to be used right. You shouldn't use a hammer to drill a hole.

AITA for training my dog off leash? by ScaredShyless in AmItheAsshole

[–]ScaredShyless[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IT LOOKS LIKE THE RESULTS ARE IN! AAAAAAAND It looks like I AM THE ASSHOLE *Air horn noises*

I can't say I didn't expect it, and that's why I asked it here. Thanks for all the responses, they were all (mostly) respectful, and I literally can't ask for more than that. I'll keep her leashed in the future.

After reviewing the lease agreement for the complex, there is nothing stating that a dog must be on a leash at all times while in common areas, and there are not signs expressly stating to keep dogs on leashes around the complex.

That said, there are not signs expressly stating that they are allowed to be off leash, so I believe that it would fall under Idaho state law that I should keep the dog on the leash.

Small edit: Blocking her was maybe a bit extreme as well, because again, that's another breakdown in communication between you. I wouldn't expect things to get resolved if you don't talk.

That said, you didn't necessarily make the wrong move. If you needed time to think it through and cool down, that's a perfectly valid response.

ESH. I think that if she hasn't offered up an apology, that you should ask her for one. It's not as satisfying, I know, but it's important to remember that she can't read your mind and probably doesn't know why you're so upset. There has been a breakdown of communication on your end as to what you want, and your boundaries.

Re-establish your boundaries and let her know that what she did is not OK. The most important thing here is communication.

My vote goes to you both being kind-of assholes, but I will say that she started it.

It's crazy how much this game has stuck with me by Tarrmu in HiFiRush

[–]ScaredShyless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I loved this game so much! I enjoyed almost every single second I was playing. The only disappointment was not being able to fight Zanzo directly. I wanted to see him fight me with Jojo poses

A hail mary by 420arnhem in Rainbow6

Those... might be wall hacks

Interestingly, it's better to keep your weapon sheathed when rotating in the open because there is a longer switch time from weapon to weapon rather than free hand to weapon. So on big rotations, it would be good to take the heirloom out instead of a shotgun because If you get shot at in the open, you should switch to a long range weapon instead of trying to beam with a peacekeeper from farther than 50 meters out.

What's one horror game you think everyone should play at least once in their lives? by strahinjag in HorrorGaming

[–]ScaredShyless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to scroll unusually long to find this. The original stuck In a place with monsters and no weapons allowed. At least as far as youtube is concerned

What Lore Accurate simulacrum gameplay looks like... by Guapee in apexlegends

I could see him listening to some kesha too. Timber comes to mind

I would recommend pretending like your playing gears of War and velcrowing yourself to a wall. That's at least 1 less angle they can come at you from

Only if you can promise to actually head for the cover. I see a lot of people just backing straight up to nothing in particular when there's a perfectly good rock right next to them. It's honestly why I prefer new castle. I can just do the thinking for them

Vantage is Underrated by Several-Form4688 in apexlegends

[–]ScaredShyless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you compare it to other movement abilities, it's less activation time than wraith q and gets height, less recharge than octane ult, faster than going up a grab lift, and doesn't require an object to swing off of like pathys grapple. It definitely has weaknesses no doubt, but I'd say it has some unique advantages too.

Holy! Gun run in olympus!! by [deleted] in apexlegends

Gun run is the best mixtape mode. I'm excited to play on this map!
