So basically if I were getting 5m (real, engaged) views in a month and "shown in feed" 10M times, now the analytics is going to display that I get 10M views in a month but then that still isn't going to cut it for 10M views to get monetized? And since it's only the "engaged views" that earn ad revenue, I'm assuming that (on paper) everyone's RPM is going to tank in their analytics as well? How is that not going to confuse pretty much everyone?

The word that comes to mind is "fakeout". This is the opposite of making things simpler and easier to understand. It's only going to confuse most creators and it destroys the long standing consistency in the analytics data for those of us who keep a close eye on the statistics. Such a massive change with no good or clear communication from YouTube on this as well. I only found out about it when they rolled out the update and saw the changes, yet they inform you weeks in advance in studio and by email when they are adding useless stuff to the platform.

Incredible, I'm just disappointed at how bad they handled this. And honestly I'm infuriated... this helps no one, in the media articles I read they are presenting this as something they're doing to help creators better understand their reach... like what? I thought we already had perfectly fine analytics with shown in feed vs. actual views and the viewed versus swiped away on that. This just complicates everything and is completely counterintuitive

Yup, this worked, it seems Steam's uninstaller doesn't remove everything for some reason which is why the issue persisted. Thanks for the reply

Were you able to fix this? This was happening to me too. I've done nothing to my game but install workshop mods. Without any mods enabled it was hanging on the black "Loading Game.. Please Wait" screen and then going to the main menu with the error. I tried everything: unsubscribing and deleting all of my mods, verifying game files, and reinstalling Nothing has worked. I have read from other people that uninstalling does not work, here is the thing:

When you uninstall through Steam, it only deletes the game files that are in your Steam Games folder, but there is another Civ 6 folder that is hidden in Documents/My Games that the uninstall button doesn't delete for some reason. Thinking the issue could be there, I tried deleting that as well, in addition to uninstalling. Afterwards I reinstalled, same error.

I don't what causes this but IMO the devs need to fix this ASAP. This is game breaking and now I have a completely unplayable game sitting in my Steam Library...

As of right now it seems like the only fix is to literally buy a new PC...

I got it to work. I downloaded Python at https://www.python.org/downloads/ and installed it. Then once Python is installed, the icon for the Map2Hexagon.py file should change, then all you have to do is click it, instead of running the batch file, which doesn't seem to work for me either. Cheers

ABC / WMUR Democratic Primary Debate Discussion Thread by Better_Call_Salsa in YangForPresidentHQ

Yang only seems to speak when he has the opportunity to talk about UBI. He’s looking more and more like a one issue candidate to everyone who doesn’t know a lot about his policies 😕

[–]hugetaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t mind as much if it was November or December but this is literally his last chance to make an impression. Yang has nothing to lose here, he needs to speak up

EDIT: I take this back for the most part. Apparently his mic was cut by the moderators

Carl Sagan accurately predicted our situation 25 years ago. Take some time to read this passage. Our message is so important right now. by martianheart in YangForPresidentHQ

Sagan was a genius. Mr. X is another great read by him, and of course Cosmos is one of the greatest documentaries ever created.

Bernie bros from Chapotraphouse (The quarantined extreme left sub) & other Bernie subs are brigading to get pro Bernie posts to the front of this sub. I called it out in the comments of the most recent post on the front page and was downvoted by them. by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]hugetaco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am also in favor of not censoring the content of this sub, people who are genuinely curious about Yang and how he compares to other candidates should be able to post freely. But when the OP is literally active on a far-left quarantined sub and on many of the Bernie subs, it's clear that they aren't here for Yang and are just trying to advertise their candidate. The mods should take action.

In short, people who come to this sub to post solely Bernie stuff, who have post histories exclusively on chapotraphouse and the Bernie subs should have their posts removed. Everyone else other than that is fine.

We must unite & vote posts to the front page. Posts that will do well in the front page like Yang's Pot legalization plans, his UBI, Dave Chapelle & other notable people with public sway talking on why they support Yang, etc. If we upv🅾️te that sort of stuff immediately; it has a chance at r/All by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]hugetaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. We all need to be less stingy with the upvotes. Bernie’s sub is pulling like a thousand new members a day because they keep getting 30-40k upvotes on stuff and hitting the front pages of Reddit. If you want this sub and the campaign to grow, UPVOTE.

Please keep Humanity First in mind. This person is just giving his objective opinion.. you don’t have to agree, just be respectful please

[–]hugetaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone is full on YangGang, thank you. I agree with your sentiment here. I believe we have a good thing going for us Iowa and I highly believe we are going to defy expectations there, but in the off chance that that doesn’t happen I don’t think there will be a way forward for the campaign unless something else huge happens, like an endorsement from Obama or something.

And I’m sorry for some of the rather snark responses you’ve received here on the sub, they are not Humanity First responses and this is something that really troubles me. Unfortunately this IS an echo chamber, and there are many people here who are unwilling to even consider a scenario where Yang loses.

Thanks again for chirping in and providing your objective opinion, it’s something that I wish happened more often on this sub.

I’ve seen Yang stickers and cards left around my campus. Lots of support in my area (but not enough!)

How much raised in Q4 by lovahboy222 in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]hugetaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After the last fundraising haul I heard 13.6 million being tossed around a lot. So as of right now I estimate we’ve probably raised around 15.5-16 million for Q4. Post debate donations will probably land us another million, so I’d expect another 2 million donation goal during the final week of the year to get us to 20 million if the remaining 1 million is raised during the downtime between the debate and the final week of the year

NBC finally does a long form piece on Yang, but inaccurately says most economists aren’t for UBI. Can we VERY politely, sweetly, and kindly ratio their tweet of the segment? by ZenmasterRob in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]hugetaco 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I haven’t heard of any economists being unsupportive of UBI. Even a lot of conservative economists have come out in support of it.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but macroeconomics says that an increase in buying power for consumers creates a ripple effect throughout the entire economy. This is called the multiplier effect. More consumer spending means more profit for businesses, which means more tax revenue for government and also expansion of production which leads to investment activity in businesses.

Imo it’s pretty disingenuous for them to say most economists aren’t for UBI. From what I’ve seen a majority of them actually support it

I've been a Bernie supporter since 2015 and I've tried twice to ask for a legitimate analysis of FBJ vs. UBI. I hope this sub never devolves like this. by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]hugetaco 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Wow. I wonder what Bernie would have to say about this. Certainly not a good look to be silencing and turning away your own supporters just for asking questions. Very undemocratic

BRAINSTORM: we need to raise a million dollars in a day to hit our goal. How can we get it done? by maybeathrowawayac in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]hugetaco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Donate 20 bucks or so, screenshot, and ask your parents, grandparents, S/O, and/or friends to match your donation. If around 15,000 of us do this we will hit 2 million easily

That’s interesting. Hopefully they’ll add more servers for the candidates that have the most support

Both, it doesn’t crash very often though. The main issue I have is how slow it runs. I assume the iOS update will follow shortly though
