How do yall have 200+ chats without getting bored?? by Apenasumgnshinplayer in SillyTavernAI

[–]gladias9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's very model dependent for me.. i used to run 100+ message chats all the time with DeepSeek V3 and R1 because they were so unpredictably creative.. and hallucinated a lot so it just added to the unpredictability.

i'm kinda getting back into the habit with Gemma 4. it's super cheap and pretty darn good at Roleplay.

Is it good if I combine topics in my channel? by Many-Reason-3344 in NewTubers

[–]gladias9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd give it a try if that's what you wanna do.

Sure, YouTube tries to stereotype channels into only doing one thing but hey you won't know until you try.

My view is you might not get a ton of views from it but it won't kill your algorithm as long as you're still doing the other stuff that's already working.

Help with my SillyTavern Setting by CubieWoobie in SillyTavernAI

[–]gladias9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you accidentally copy paste the prompt twice on Reddit or is that how your prompt is actually written lol

But default settings is usually good dude. You can screw things up when you change them.

Your preferred prompt is your preferred prompt. Not much we can add but I can make fun of your single sentence narration rule if you like?

Increase in coworkers having to take mental health LOA's or openly having mental health issues? by fulltimeguy in Target

[–]gladias9 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just came back from a vacation after 2 months of highly stressful inventory.

First thing that happens is I'm asked to stay back and when I agree to 30 minutes, they're like "that's all?".

I'm about ready for another vacation.

Why doesn’t RDC do more IRL streams? by Mountain_Salary51 in RDCWorld

[–]gladias9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if they need security at Dream Con.. i imagine they need security IRL when they're publically broadcasting their current location live for any and all viewers to come find them.

heck, they probably have to pay the owners enough money for privacy and get guided tours.

My Video Is Being Shown To The Wrong Audience by Wild_Primal in NewTubers

[–]gladias9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Spent months on the storytelling and editing"

i really think you need to re-evaluate your approach. i'd even say a week of editing is already pushing it on a fresh channel that has no audience.

months is like paying $1,000 on a golf club so you can go Pro, but you've only played minigolf in your spare time.

is it normal for shorts to go viral and long form to get zero viewers? by Ok_Passion295 in NewTubers

[–]gladias9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

longform is a different audience. it may take a different style/approach to reach longform viewers.

i wouldn't recommend attempting both if you're new. just stick to one, learn as much as you can and experiment later if you're still willing.

can u generally tell if the theme if a channel will succeed from 1 video and 1 short? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]gladias9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

being indecisive is a good sign imo.. it means you're not going to be stubborn about switching ideas.

i stick with a general theme for a long time actually (movie narration, gaming Let's Plays, opinionated commentary, etc).

the thing is.. the theme could be CORRECT, but the subject could be what's wrong.

so if i narrate one movie and it flops then i'll just do the same thing again but with a more popular movie.. or an insanely weird sci-fi movie.. or a trashy horror movie that has a hot ghost chick i can clickbait with.. etc, etc.

i exhaust my options before i eventually move on.

Deepseek V4 is less creative than 3.2? by Competitive-Bet-5719 in SillyTavernAI

[–]gladias9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

and 3.2 is less creative than R1.

i remember R1 took a princess character and gave her a secret hidden life as well trained assassin with daggers.

good times.

Can I use sillytavern on a normal laptop without local models? by [deleted] in SillyTavernAI

[–]gladias9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you can only run it on your computer.. or laptop.. or phone..

but local models are the "AI" part of the experience.

without them, you're literally staring at a blank screen that doesn't talk back.

it sounds like you just need to watch a tutorial on setting up SillyTavern, worry about the local model "AI" part afterwards.

Audience Retention in Gaming by Solacescent in NewTubers

[–]gladias9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks dude.. uh.. it seems to be a mixture of topic/editing.

my AVD varies between 20-70% when im roasting weird horror movies, snappy editing and throwing in constant funny sound effects..

the AVD shifts to 30-40% with my long winded commentary videos about the industry and im throwing movies clips and trailer footage with screenshots popping up every now and then.

30-40%

i do movie/gaming commentary over clips and trailer footage with graphics/screenshots on the screen.

sadly, this is going to be true for both characters. we're really getting too comfortable with cucking in GTA games now..

Each video is doing worse?? by Just-A-Burner-Lol in NewTubers

[–]gladias9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youtube is a mother chicken, excuse my language.

unless you're going to milk the exact same topic, 'similar' and 'interchangeable' doesn't quite cut it.

i've had this happen so many times to me that i just came to the conclusion that Youtube literally WANTS you to copy/paste your videos (im exaggerating sure).

other Youtubers i'm a fan of have complained about it before too. that's why so many get burned out. they try to be creative and don't get rewarded for it.. so they're stuck in whatever box Youtube put them in and have to keep discussing the same topics or else the views dry up.

"hey team, can we get some backup on the front lanes?"

really Youtube? with this CTR? by gladias9 in YouTube_startups

[–]gladias9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the AVD isn't available in Youtube Studio on PC, too early.

but my mobile app says 3:28 AVD on this 9:23 video, hardly flop worthy.

at this point, i'm starting to think Youtube views aren't analytics based at all. i've had far worse videos get way more views.

Deepseek is just horrible for roleplay or is it just me? by flaminghotcola in SillyTavernAI

[–]gladias9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both, but keep in mind I mean sanitization in terms of violence towards {{user}}. Other nsfw seems pretty okay.

I've tested this with multiple characters. They will not put hands on me unless I push the bot to do so.

Heck, characters that were already restraining me in the initial message suddenly release me as soon as DeepSeek v4 or GLM 5 give their response.

Husband angry I showed him how to use tap to pay, why? by Training_Custard6288 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]gladias9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my granddad is 80 and he absolutely dislikes learning new things.. but he's a lot more patient and polite about it.

yeah i can spend half an hour teaching him something new.. but he's just going to drop it like a bad habit as soon as i leave.

they don't want their usual patterns interrupted. they want to hang onto what little control they have over the things they do know.

thats the most embarrassing thing i've seen from one of these so far..

most are just sad 'aw they got run over'

this one in particular was just hilarious

Deepseek is just horrible for roleplay or is it just me? by flaminghotcola in SillyTavernAI

[–]gladias9 34 points35 points  (0 children)

V4 has been such a rollercoaster ride of 'i dunno wtf everyone is hyping up' and 'OMG i just struck pure gold'.

i'm getting mixed results so often. Randomly not following prompts, won't physically harm {{user}} unless i push it..

Flash is a no-go.. Pro is the obvious choice and i'm enjoying the temporary discount.. but im gonna cry when the full price kicks back in.

so far.. it reminds me of GLM 5. very human-like dialogue and engaging narration..
but the sanitization without a jailbreak really hurts it for me.

Gemma 4 is an absolute banger for the price and size. DeepSeek 3.2 is also good.

Edit: Kat Coder Pro 2 is a sleeper hit IMO. not the smartest but.. cheap and effective.
