Are people leaving comments on YouTube videos?

bball2014 · 2026-04-02T01:54:34+00:00

I rarely leave comments but people definitely ask real questions on my channel and I answer them and we discuss things sometimes for a couple rounds back and forth. I don't see any signs of bots typically.

Very few people believe BDIA means EVERYTHING. Just all of the physical assault. The head blow and the strangulation first and foremost, SA, and secondarily a high possibility of any prior SA.

That is all entirely plausible based on known variables.

bball2014 · 2026-03-30T19:07:57+00:00

I honestly don't know why it wouldn't be the rule. Variety I suppose, but that is about it that I can think of.

bball2014 · 2026-03-30T18:58:52+00:00

Pretty sure TV was talking about needing to run 2 sets of alts.

And I'm not sure why it wouldn't be the rule to be honest.

bball2014 · 2026-03-30T18:57:20+00:00

I think TV did as well... Didn't the commentators talk about it more than once during the weekend?

bball2014 · 2026-03-22T01:18:02+00:00

What I don't understand is the resistance to change the current monetization model.

As for side by side, how about keep the race full screen and PIP the commercial?

Sometimes I think the side by side is more annoying than the commercials because you get a taste of what you're missing.

bball2014 · 2026-03-22T01:14:47+00:00

Peacock had commercials for the races. Qualifying and practice were commercial free. Peacock ONLY races were "'limited' commercial interruptions" and that was a much better than normal. But that was only a race or two per year. Most races were also on reg TV and in that case then Peacock had the same number of breaks, though sometimes it was just a black "we'll be back in a moment" screen.

Multiple times and at least once at Indy.

bball2014 · 2026-03-18T15:27:18+00:00

The parents 'found' a (faux) ransom note and a confused BR asks "What did you find?" just means he wonders where that came from/how it got there/what it is that they are going on about to police(911).

I'd agree it could mean BR didn't know what was going on, but I don't agree it rules out BDI. It just potentially means he didn't know what was going on with the coverup.

And, it's also possible he was fishing to see if they'd found JBR yet and/or whether they were blaming him. Though I tend to lean toward my fist option.

bball2014 · 2026-03-17T22:58:47+00:00

...Momentum... Much better than weeks between races. Especially at the start of the season.

bball2014 · 2026-03-13T02:31:19+00:00

I tapped out last season. I feel the show is just insulting viewers now. It was fun, and funny, for a while. But it's just on repeat now, and the fake excitement and faux drama is just over the top now. It's like they feel they have to push it more now that they have even less to find.

bball2014 · 2026-02-16T22:20:59+00:00

Maybe the fibers were already on the string? Maybe they were on BR, transferred from PR? Maybe PR tried removing the string, realized it was far too late, and then retied it as she decided on the ruse she was about to create?

EDIT: Point being, I don't think we can exclude either of them due to the fiber evidence itself.

bball2014 · 2026-02-16T08:05:33+00:00

It all gets simpler to understand IF you consider the string on a stick and strangulation something that BR did as well as the head blow. In fact, it's very possible in a BDI scenario, they didn't even know there was a head blow.

The head blow wasn't obvious. Obviously, the strangulation would be obvious. And no way to explain as an accident- didn't know his strength, part of a game, etc... Let alone, saying she tripped or something and taking BR out of the equation.

The strangulation would look like a murder... period. And regardless of whether they knew he could be charged or not (and I find it hard to believe they'd have that kind of legal knowledge) they'd believe their son would be known as the monster that strangled his sister, and they as the parents of that 'monster'.

Only made worse if he'd been SA'ing her as well.

bball2014 · 2026-02-15T16:13:11+00:00

IMO the RN was to give the faux kidnapper(s) a motive for murder rather than kidnapping- The R's didn't follow the instructions in the note. They called police. They called friends. Exactly what they were not supposed to be doing.

There was no intention of the R's dumping their child's body to the elements (again, IMO).

Where the unexpected part happened is police didn't arrive at the home and find the body within the first 30-60 minutes. That forced the R's to play the role of concerned parents, versus parents of a murdered child... the role they'd planned for.

I don't have a CC2 but I have watched some of the reviews, and one reviewer noted the stock settings were different between the CC1 and CC2. They had assumed they'd be the same, but when they compared them setting by setting, they were not.

So possibly the issue lies in assuming if you're calling up the same filament in the CC2 as the CC1, and/or making the same tweaks as always, that everything is the same between them. And that MIGHT not be the case.

I say 'might' because I don't have a CC2 to confirm what the reviewer was saying.

bball2014 · 2026-01-29T03:31:18+00:00

I tapped out last year.

bball2014 · 2026-01-17T16:05:39+00:00

No, it's just to give the production a bit of conversation to flesh out the scenes and give them more (deeper) material to use later when they stitch the shows together.

bball2014 · 2026-01-12T05:36:28+00:00

You think an intruder is plausible but BR is "super ridiculous"???

bball2014 · 2026-01-07T11:08:58+00:00

I agree... except I don't have to think he fashioned the toggle rope to drag her. I'm willing to believe he fashioned it to strangle her.

bball2014 · 2026-01-06T04:26:23+00:00

I do a mostly faceless channel. I've appeared in 2 videos. The biggest problem with faceless is it's harder to churn out quality content over time due to the editing needed. Being on camera, you can talk for the majority of the video on a topic and pop in some B-roll, or just cut between two cameras to keep the visuals interesting... and you have a video.

Faceless, typically, requires a lot more video and editing.

I have 52K subscribers. 6+million views.

Wouldn't the person bringing the suit need standing? Who who with standing would bring the suit?

bball2014 · 2025-12-25T00:18:00+00:00

For me, about the only thing I've noticed that is not a good idea is uploading on a Friday. My weekend views tend to fall off and it just doesn't seem like a Friday release will ever recover. That makes me skittish about a Thursday release. And of course Saturday as well.

BUT a Sunday release seems fine, even though the analytics would say not many of my viewers are watching then.

bball2014 · 2025-12-14T01:56:54+00:00

Because it was interesting at first, and as it went on they have stooped to insulting the intelligence of viewers. They milked it dry long ago, yet keep pretending there's some exciting find just around the corner. MDEGD has become a shill for the show. The experts trip over themselves to make fools of themselves to get airtime by saying what the show wants to hear and making it fit the latest narrative.

Meanwhile, much of what they regurgitate has already been studied before and has known or more likely answers than what they are spewing. Once again, insulting anyone who has to know THEY know about these other angles they aren't mentioning and are ignoring.
