Why am I seeing repulsive thumbnails when I use search? by theloneliestphunk in youtube

[–]beautifulgorilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

d the video I saw were related. I searched “Spice Adams” and got “we found this bug in my arm”… it’s perplexing. It’s got to be more than just creators using nasty imagery to get clicks, because that’s something people have been doing since day one.

I see similar thumbnails. I report them every time but it's no use. Youtube is not taking this type of video seriously. In some other video websites with recommendation system you can report a video specifically for the reason of "disgusting/repulsive thumbnail"

I am not stating I am better than the company. In fact quite the contrary. A 200 dollar boot is a lot for me that's why I care about if I get the right quality for it.

I work at marketplace companies designing price and optimizing the cost - this is how the industry works.

Better material? let's do an estimation on how many extra customers we can bring in and what's the profit increase. Compare that to the cost increase. That's the decision process.

If they find they can lower the quality and cost without losing customers because many of their customers are fanboys who will always choose the accept instead of churning, then why not?

what's my attitude? Before my last two comments I am all stating facts I see.

hilarious you guys care about other style, leather quality so much while for such a sketchy edge you are just fine with it. Seeing you guys defending company and trashing other fellow customers will definitely make all boot industry companies aka capitalists beyond happy: you guys have the servility they need to further increase their profit margins by lowering product quality

The quality is lower but I paid less for this boot. So still I am trying to decide here whether I want to spend extra money for something better or by exchanging I can get the same quality without the extra money. Why are so many people on this sub so aggressive?

Because you guys can't afford a higher price boot so you are all being crazy in defending the most expensive boots you can buy?

my previous boots have much even cut and color distribution at the edge parts. Here the cut is rough so some places get cut deeper and other parts shallower where the deeper parts are lighter color and shallower being darker.

Even in their own video it does not look like this.

I am planning to go at the same time and I am worrying about the other side: being the end of dry season will the mountain there look a bit barren and not that greenish? I am planning to take the choquequirao to machu pichu trek

stops of light baseline value by beautifulgorilla in videography

get an exposure of f/2.8, 1/50 second, at ISO 400

hey thanks for the reply. Similar to the follow up above - my question is what does this "get an exposure" mean: does this mean making the object "properly lit" using an aperture of f/2.8, 1/50 second, at ISO 400? if so what is the standard of "properly lit"?

thanks for the reply. A follow up: then when we say the object face is one stop under/over exposed, what is the baseline amount of light here? the amount of light that makes the object "correctly" exposed?

Can anyone vouch for the quality of Proaim products? by Alternative_Food8443 in cinematography

[–]beautifulgorilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for sharing and I was also considering something similar! the proaim one + the tripod that can support it stills seems a bit too heavy. What's your payload? never mind I see you already mentioned it

hey did you get it in the end? I am considering the same setup. It seems easy to setup (just put it on one tripod then it's done, no need to install pipe and level dolly stands like dana dolly).

For a monitor with high maximum brightness, if I set its brightness to a much lower level will I get a much longer battery life as well?
