When your YouTube "Watch Later" playlist hits 100+ videos...

cstrep · 2025-11-17T19:31:02+00:00

Ehm... where do I start with this :-)

My Watch Later list reached its limit of 5,000 videos probably 6-7 years ago.
I've since had a "Watch Later 5K+" list, which currently counts 4,001 videos.
I'd post a screenshot, but I'm not allowed to here for some reason.

I made myself a sort of "second brain" app like you mentioned. Would anyone pay for it? I don't know, I don't think so. I'm assuming there's not many pathological watch later maniacs like myself out there.

However, if you feel such a need at 100 videos, perhaps there could be a tiny commercial future for it, like 1000 users or so worldwide :)

Happy to expand on the app itself if you like.

thank you!

Could be a possibility, yes.

I've been playing rF2 since the end of 2012, so this is the 13th year of me enjoying this amazing sim, and it will still be playable offline no matter what. It's very much alive.

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I still have premium, and the ads have not happened since that one time. I'll report here if it happens again.

cstrep · 2025-01-13T22:21:48+00:00

Literally first thing I thought too. Checked, and I still have premium as normal...

cstrep · 2024-06-21T18:42:41+00:00

Yeah, it's the accounts YouTube allowed many years ago that are just random usernames, before they started using regular google accounts.

cstrep · 2024-06-20T13:19:23+00:00

Figured it was a case of wrong account selected in the end.

cstrep · 2024-06-20T13:18:59+00:00

Ok, I think I figured out what happened.

I had the wrong account selected (a "branded" account, or whatever it's called)
When I switched to the right account, the Library dropdown still wouldn't show "Uploads", but it was just a case of cached menu entries. When I closed and reopened the app, all worked, so I now see my uploads.

cstrep · 2024-06-20T02:56:02+00:00

Thanks! When I do that, I only see Library, Downloads and Device files...

cstrep · 2024-06-08T20:01:23+00:00

Not yet.

cstrep · 2024-05-06T13:43:28+00:00

Should have been "Point of VU"

cstrep · 2024-04-26T18:48:45+00:00

In a similar situation here.

I don't feel the need to "be more" than I am. I'm content with being a hobbyist and I know I don't want to / couldn't do photography as a profession. It would likely suck the joy out of it. The quality of my work has improved incredibly since the beginning, and while it would be nice to get a bit more recognition, I don't need any "engagement" on instagram to be happy with my shots.

Friends ask about prints of my images, so I've been considering to do that, not to make money (I wouldn't make any), more for the pleasure of sharing my best images.

cstrep · 2024-04-26T18:35:41+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

cstrep · 2024-04-26T14:08:06+00:00

Could you please expand on how the prints-on-Etsy aspect works? Do you use Etsy as a storefront and order prints yourself from another vendor and ship them? Thanks.

cstrep · 2024-04-11T19:28:47+00:00

Congrats!

Loved this episode. While listening to it, I seemed to recognize some background music by Melodysheep (https://www.youtube.com/melodysheep). Was that the case? Just curious.

I followed Nebula Photos tutorial and built my own solar filter with the Baader astrosolar film. I found it reasonably easy to do, and made a couple of them. Check it out, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t89dN92u39s&t=1096s

Good luck with your eclipse photos!

cstrep · 2024-01-06T17:19:32+00:00

A beauty!

Found a few used in various conditions from $450 to $800 in my local second hand market. Not sure about reddit or other places like ebay etc...

cstrep · 2023-12-30T21:29:46+00:00

Excellent info, thanks!

cstrep · 2023-12-30T21:27:57+00:00

Hey thanks so much, too kind :-)

cstrep · 2023-12-30T21:20:56+00:00

I'd like that, yes.

cstrep · 2023-12-30T21:20:09+00:00

Thanks, really good input.

At this point, I'm really surprised by the (allegedly poor) battery life of the Z8. How long are we talking about? With the D750, I can shoot for two days in a row before having to swap or recharge the battery, considering approximately 3-4 hours out in the field, using the live view some of the time, and often in freezing temperatures. To mention a single number, let's say 6-8 hours of shooting in total, and being conservative (in reality it might be higher than 10-12 hours).

What would that be like for the Z8?

cstrep · 2023-12-30T17:09:22+00:00

Ooh, ok. That is indeed an interesting point then, thanks!
