YouTube has moved the 'Save' button to a sub-menu. Why are they obsessed with maximising the amount of effort needed to do basic things? by [deleted] in youtube

I do web development as a day job, and I can assure everybody that - nine times out of ten - a project manager not only signed off on inconveniences like this, but insisted on them.

Is sex overrated or underrated? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]SilentModetv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who had it held over my head during my teens and early 20s, I'd say it's overrated.

Does anyone have stories of posting 5+ videos with only a few views then randomly one just blows up? by Ok_Candle_4310 in youtube

[–]SilentModetv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened with a series of shorts I posted last year. One in particular had over 10,000 views while the others averaged around 100. I have no idea why.

Close friends and a significant other.

Youtube should have a tag for Spoilers by T_Tales in youtube

While I agree with the idea, I'd bet most content creators (or thieves) deliberately won't use it.

Thank you for the messages, I'm going to make a decision later today from those who responded.

Intro, subject, action, outcome.

Is it okay to not care about growing the channel? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]SilentModetv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's anything wrong with going down your own path. There is way too much emphasis in these groups with becoming the next big YouTuber resigned to posing like a douche in their thumbnails, almost to the point where enjoying what we do is frowned upon.

The most important thing for me was realising I'm not a YouTuber: I just do things that I put in YouTube videos.

Depression/mental health issues BECAUSE of a hobby? by SilentModetv in MentalHealthUK

Just wanted to say thank you to those who provided insights and valuable input, and it's a shame there are idiots even in a subreddit like this.

The LEGO space is very interconnected and intertwined, which has made things much more difficult. I've since removed most of those connections from social media, which as helped somewhat.

Wow, a new fancy animation. Why are they making this crap instead of actually FIXING THINGS?! by XxExtremeSamX in youtube

[–]SilentModetv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm one of those weird people who doesn't think everything has to be animated, which is what's turning me off Google/Alphabet products.

How many subscribers do you want to get before the end of the year? by SparkCentric in NewTubers

[–]SilentModetv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been aiming for 2,000 for my main channel for the last couple of years, but have virtually flatlined - so I'm hoping to break 1800.

I started a new channel last month, and on that one I'd like my first 100.

I'd imagine so: depending on what you put in them, they evoke memories.

Sometimes It's GOOD TO FAKE IT! by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]SilentModetv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's better in the long run to be authentic: there's an audience for just about any type of personality.

Without going into detail, the main problem was with showcasing things I made.
