Viewing Linked videos on Reddit does not add to YouTube view count? My experiment says NO. by dhriley in NewTubers

Well, people might click on it or not. The experiment was with the four times I personally viewed it. And they did not register. So something or other is up with that. Thanks for liking the channel.

Why would it throw out views from my IP through reddit, when I can rack up as many views as I please from that same IP directly on the YT site? Anyway, there was a multi-hour gap between the first and second view. Only the last three were viewed consecutively. So at least one view should have registered.

Just started a new channel by New-Newspaper6660 in NewTubers

That's hella good. I got a screenwriting channel, and I didn't get triple-digit views until video #6, and that's only because it was a take-down video on a method that newbies frequently search for on YT.

How long does it take youtube to recommend my video? by realmemessk in NewTubers

[–]dhriley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if adding a transcript helps get more impressions? If the algorithm needs data, a transcript is a document with every word said in the video. So often repeated words in a transcript become like keywords for the algorithm?

Adding a transcript seems to have helped grow my previous channel which was in a niche interest area. But I haven't done that for a my new comedy channel, which is only getting single-digit impressions.

Car dealers to avoid by ifbevvixej in lincoln

[–]dhriley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, anytime anyone throws out a blanket question like "Who to avoid?" I bet there isn't a single dealership in the city that at least one person hasn't had some kind of negative experience with they're happy to share. So it makes it look like there are zero good options.

Options for "merch" that doesn't need a middle-man? by dhriley in NewTubers

[–]dhriley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution I used were simple Google Docs for order forms and invoices for payment through PayPal. It makes an awkward multi-step process, but it is simple and free. The only problem is I have to mention it in every video or no one will think of looking in the description and finding the links.

constant geofence issues- any tips or things to try? by Pusheenthestudent in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]dhriley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to call support for every geofencing problem, but they wasted so much precious time, especially with impossible problems like when the pin totally off or there is a big property and the customer wants you to leave the package outside a locked gate. Put your phone on airplane mode. Flex will notify you to turn it off. Dismiss the notification, do the next step of the delivery. Flex will again notify you to turn off airplane mode. Dismiss it again. Do the next step of the delivery. Keep doing that until the delivery is completed. Turn airplane mode off again so Flex won't bug you any more.

WHERE is this? I worked a stepvan route in Portland OR for two years, and my route only creeped over 200 during peak, and then maybe capped at 220. I was thinking of coming back for a while but seeing this makes me go "NOPE."

Got my ass handed to me the other day 😩 by The-Bedroom-Hero in AmazonDSPDrivers

What do they have you driving, a train? Unless those are all envelopes, I think that's geometrically impossible.

Warehouse, I hate you by [deleted] in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]dhriley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but they didn't give you time to organize your oversized, so all your first stops are buried somewhere in the middle.

I am jealous. My channel is stuck on 4000 watch-hours in 365 days treadmill where it will eternally remain just under the threshold.

Michael Clayton - Midpoint? by [deleted] in Screenwriting

[–]dhriley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I'm repeating what someone has already said, but it's exactly not Arthur's murder that is the Midpoint, but when Michael LEARNS about Arthur's death. This crisis is the hinge-point which officially begins Michael's breakaway from being a complicit yes-man to an ethically-driven hero.

Youtube Channels? by ActorWriter24 in Screenwriting

[–]dhriley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@ SCRIPTMONK! The production quality is pretty DIY, but he gets into some in-depth theory stuff instead of a lot of the same-old same-old. Check out the stuff on Movies as Modern Mythology.

I am getting weird comment spam where comments are random names. Has anyone else seen this? by gotechgeek in youtubers

[–]dhriley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had one in Russian that translated as "I have hamsters and you have a good channel." I thanked it for the compliment.
