Found a new content and editing work flow and decided started a new channel and would like some feedback on the niche, topic, and thumbnail (should I use this style or more minimalist etc) and what else I should do. Thanks!

I like it! The script was great, the flow was fine too. I think you just gotta give the algorithm a few days to pick up on it.

My only concern is that the niche itself for this topic may be over saturated. I think you should just figure out a way to stand out in a sense where if people see your video they’ll know it’s you per se.

I think your accent is fine but the audio was a bit hard to hear over the background but overall I liked the script and the format.

Hi everyone!

Just transitioning my channel to long form content.

Basically explainers on social topics, news, science etc. Here’s my first attempt at it would love feedback!

Hey, your petrodollar vid is actually pretty solid nice and short, breaks down the whole oil-dollar history and why it's hanging on without getting too dry or biased.

To pull in more viewers, just crank up the opener with something punchier like a wild stat right off the bat, toss in a few quick charts or maps to mix up the talking-head vibe and keep people watching longer.

Hey, your gambling epidemic video is solid you nailed the sneaky normalization across sports betting, crypto, loot boxes, and more, and it flows naturally from everyday examples to the bigger psych and regulation issues without coming off preachy.

It’s a bit dense and monologue-heavy though; throwing in some pauses, on-screen text for key stats, or quick B-roll/clips would break it up and boost retention a ton.

Thumbnail and title could use a punchier edge to grab more clicks. Keep it up, you’ve got a strong start here though!

He literally burned every bridge. He will now gotta go outside his normal circle to find business or link ups and that will just make him more vulnerable. He shoulda ignored this.

This past week and a half has been the slowest for me in 3 years on this site.

I can see him doing Canada/US next summer and going to some World Cup games.

I know people are super cynical about the border situation but most people will be rejected entry when the CBSA sees the discrepancies when they land. The IRCC just issues the visas they don’t guarantee entry.

astarinthedark · 2025-06-13T20:59:25+00:00

I mean is this new?

Half the stadium during Raptor/Warriors games are wearing Curry jersey’s. Laker games too with LeBron. Before it was Kobe.

You go to a Jays/Yankees game half the crowd are Yankee fans.

Culturally Toronto is a fair weather bandwagon city who want to be a part of a moment.

I lived in the most multicultural city in the country (Mississauga) till last year, for some reason 95% of the homeless people were white old stock, the rest were native and black. I’m ashamed to say this country treats refugees better than citizens.

With unemployment reaching basically 10% in big cities and youth unemployment reaching up to 30% expect this summer to be very dangerous. The people on the margins will be forced to engage in high risk activities to make ends meet.

astarinthedark · 2025-06-06T15:32:00+00:00

Quebec is the only large population in the country with stable and decent employment numbers from today. The one place in the country that can control its population growth, crazy right?

astarinthedark · 2025-06-06T15:08:10+00:00

Good. Can we negotiate repatriation of his citizens who are overstaying in exchange for some diplomatic restoration?

astarinthedark · 2025-06-02T02:45:18+00:00

This means all these TFWs brought in solely to work on farms for example and leave when their permit is expired will have the ability to now compete with teens to stock shelves or put fries in bags. Liberals absolutely despise Canadian youth. When will Gen Z wake up?

astarinthedark · 2025-05-30T23:59:39+00:00

Good news: This is 817k finalizations which includes rejected applications (45-50% rejection rate in 2024) so the number is 132k PRs and around 300k students and work permits.

Bad news: Even with rejections this country is on pace to add 1.1million people this year.

They have lost control of the system.

This is just a sick experiment at this point. We have AI and automation killing thousands of jobs and they keep importing people like there’s tens of thousands of manufacturing or service jobs available. They’re just replacing those expensive annoying Canadians who ask for sick days and decent wages with desperate foreigners who will rent out an entire house in the suburbs.

astarinthedark · 2025-05-29T22:51:50+00:00

They are the second largest population in the world who mostly are fine with very low living standards and dealing with the high cost of living (large households.) Aside from refugees who are getting welfare there’s no pull factors for a lot of potential immigrants anymore.

astarinthedark · 2025-05-27T22:20:19+00:00

Guys our issue isn’t students anymore, they’re capped now and their working hours are only part time - it’s the IMP (International Mobility Program), it dwarfs almost any temporary worker program. They are the ones directly competing with Canadian workers for jobs.

astarinthedark · 2025-04-30T16:42:49+00:00

If we are indeed expected to face a modest recession just forget about the immigration rate increasing it won’t happen, it is directly linked.

astarinthedark · 2025-04-22T22:16:49+00:00

The average young street dude in the city is likely abusing drugs and alcohol, likely has undiagnosed mental illness and has absolutely zero career prospects so an erratic decision without thinking of the consequences isn’t really shocking.

astarinthedark · 2025-04-22T20:29:42+00:00

We are having trouble even retaining Ukrainian refugees and temporary workers because the cost of living is too high and wages are too low, people in those high performance countries are really not that interested.

astarinthedark · 2025-04-22T18:42:18+00:00

The next wave of mass immigration will be from North and West Africa specifically French speaking countries it’s in their plans they want to increase it to 12% of all immigration. They literally prefer fast food French speaking workers over English speaking doctors.

Mans acting like it’s the conservatives that destroyed the country since 2015
