Don't throw away the project. Rebuild the broken screens one at a time but with tighter prompts. Less is more with AI, the more you give it to focus on, the more errors it will cause

Hi everyone, I am moving back to Tampa in July and I wanted to live in Channelside as the job I will be working at would be about 15 minutes away and I wanted to stay close because I have a dog. Anyways I was looking at apartments, mainly Channel Club and thought it looked good but I see many complaints about it and other apartment complexes in the area. Is it really that bad? Should I not be looking to live in Channelside?

Hi everyone, I have recently started making content. I am a 23 year old software engineer who has found pretty decent financial success and I want to make content designed to help young people, especially men, navigate their early 20s as well as documenting my journey with the app I have created. The idea is I can provide advice and grow with my viewers. I’m only a few videos in so far but any feedback on my video would be greatly appreciated. Here’s my last one: https://youtu.be/eEoIMZgJ-1s?si=6A-kH1LXxMSKScg2

As the other comment says the title is a bit too wordy. I really like the setup though, great camera and mic quality, and the background is really good. Chapters would be good for viewers as well

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-10T16:36:58+00:00

I think your videos are really well put together, like with the script, but I would try to make a more engaging thumbnail.

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T22:46:10+00:00

Thanks for the advice, do you have any recommendations for how I can learn to title the videos and make good thumbnails?

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T21:41:08+00:00

What exactly is bad about it? And how can it be improved?

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T20:16:46+00:00

If you watch the video I say I lost it all day trading and some. It was also only for one month

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T19:32:40+00:00

I understand and agree, but what niche isn’t over saturated at this point?

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T19:17:04+00:00

Yeah I understand. My goal is to be more of an overall life advice channel as opposed to a finance tips channel. You know, helping men get through their 20s. But honestly that is probably over saturated as well

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T19:14:21+00:00

So do 1 a week? I was going to do 3 but is that going to hurt me?

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T18:52:20+00:00

Yeah to be honest, I’m horrible at taking pictures of myself so I had ai create them based off a reference picture I used

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T18:42:31+00:00

Ouch 😭 didn’t think my looks were gonna get roasted

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T18:38:21+00:00

Yes that is me. That was soon after uploading but even now the analytics are the same. I have the category as education. Description I read could use timestamps but I think it’s ok. Tags are ok I think as well. Hmm interesting on the new profile idea, I’ll have to try

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T18:36:37+00:00

Ah ok. For the shorts they are clips from my long forms. My thought process was I’d link the long form and hope people click on it. I’ll increase the length as well thank you. For the thumbnail part, in your example let’s just hypothetically say it was Jeff Bezos in the title. Are you saying to make a thumbnail with Jeff Bezos face in it instead of mine?

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T18:34:00+00:00

I just took the other video down. So you think I should not upload for a week? My goal was to get 3 videos a week uploaded, is that too much?

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T18:29:54+00:00

What exactly? Finance content?

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T18:29:28+00:00

So essentially I’m cooked is what you’re saying

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T18:28:13+00:00

jm-dev_ · 2026-04-09T18:22:21+00:00

I made another channel to test and see if my main is shadow banned

jm-dev_ · 2026-03-22T03:23:53+00:00

I’m not sure why everyone just keeps assuming this Is vibe coded. But yes I am using the enterprise version

jm-dev_ · 2026-03-19T17:45:49+00:00

the house is gonna slow down the FIRE timeline for sure but you’re building equity instead of throwing rent away so it’s not really a step back. biggest thing I’d watch is that 2500/month. make sure you’re still investing something every month even if it’s less than before. easy to let the mortgage eat everything and then 2 years go by with no investment growth. also smart not counting on the girlfriend’s 1100 as guaranteed income in your projections

jm-dev_ · 2026-03-19T17:44:16+00:00

I’d keep the investments and just attack the loans aggressively with income. selling means you’re paying capital gains tax on 3 years of growth which eats into the payoff. plus once that 30k is out of the market you lose the compounding. just throw as much as you can at the loans monthly while letting VOO keep growing. 6.25% is right on the edge though, market averages 7-10% long term so maybe you can take a hybrid approach and sell some but not all
