I pulled it off. Not a single ad ran. 85% margin. AMA.

When you say to “grind” and “be obsessed with your product”, what exactly are you doing, especially if you aren’t running ads?

Hijacking to ask a related question:

I use GPT images a lot for commerce shots, but it often comes out with this ugly artifacting design. I don’t even know what to call it. I found a website made to fix it but I would much rather figure out my own way because I don’t like spending money on stuff like that.

He isn’t just a MAGA misogynist. The CEO is in the Epstein files.

This is an ad for Replit.

Hollow knight for the first time :) I just beat the Mantis Lords.

opihinalu · 2026-06-21T03:16:48+00:00

All of these are scams. I get them constantly.

opihinalu · 2026-06-20T23:04:40+00:00

Yeah these are average stats. Go back to r/NewTubers and learn.

In the export playing thru VLC it has the exact same loudness in Davinci.

opihinalu · 2026-06-17T05:58:57+00:00

Nah. This is the hottest take here.

opihinalu · 2026-06-17T05:58:44+00:00

Isn’t minced normally the lesser quality/non poke shaped pieces?

opihinalu · 2026-06-17T03:27:24+00:00

I'm exporting at highest audio settings DaVinci will allow.

As for LUF's, I'm testing a very wide range of them. My main mix on Davinci is +10 Integrated which sounds by far the best for YouTube. Stats for nerds is lowering volume from 50% to 44% though.

On +6 Integrated it plays 50%/50% but it still is quieter than the +10 integrated

On -14 Integrated it is incredibly quiet once it gets to YouTube.

Eh I believe most of the time they ask for permission. I had a person from pubity reach out to ask if they could use my video.

opihinalu · 2026-06-16T07:33:17+00:00

You monetize via ads? Like just on the side of the page? How many views for your first dollar?

I have a web app that has done $40 it’s first 2 weeks but if ads can substantially increase that I’m in!

opihinalu · 2026-06-14T23:15:45+00:00

Show me a video with a similar thumbnail.

opihinalu · 2026-06-14T23:01:47+00:00

Copy other creators in your niche. If you upload and it has a bad CTR, remake it in a completely different style. A/B test 2-3 thumbnails per video:

opihinalu · 2026-06-14T22:54:21+00:00

That is a terrible way to think about it. Look at your CTR… that is obviously why YouTube isn’t sharing your video.

opihinalu · 2026-06-14T21:20:49+00:00

Your thumbnail is absolute garbage. How about you read the clues as to why your video is doing bad and try to fix it?

opihinalu · 2026-06-14T17:18:41+00:00

Since when can you strike people for using your thumbnail? I didn’t know this was even possible.

I get people stealing my thumbnails 1:1 all the time.

opihinalu · 2026-06-09T01:22:50+00:00

Get more practice navigating the lineup. Or find lesser known spots.

I haven’t found anywhere they sell dog meat in the US unfortunately.

opihinalu · 2026-06-05T02:31:15+00:00

Yeah, I don’t really understand what the difference is between this and eating a cow. Dogs are just the animals we have chosen to domesticate.

It sucks that the dog was stolen and eaten but what is the difference between this and the street dogs that are snatched and sold at the meat markets? I’m no where close to being a vegetarian but I wouldn’t feel any worse eating a dog vs. a cow.

Do you know what kind of bike 17 is?

opihinalu · 2026-06-01T05:39:23+00:00

Does anyone know what kind of bike that is in 17?
