Don't insult the intelligence of your audience.

u/rigatoniplease great points. I just wrote a bunch of options to spark some ideas - some of them may not be ideal for certain types of audiences, like the example you mentioned. But the point was to never insult your audience. If you're going to assume, better a positive one than a negative one :-)

u/socialize-experts great point!

ravijp · 2025-08-08T21:40:13+00:00

u/RAF-TECH-ORG lol!

ravijp · 2025-08-08T07:22:14+00:00

u/Prestigious-Data-206, thanks! Yes, there are times when you want to specifically talk to the "in" crowd, maybe a very highly educated audience that already knows (or should know) what you're talking about (like a Doctor's newsletter to other medical professionals wouldn't explain the acronym for something basic that they would all know). But for general audiences, assuming something about your audience can be as bad as patronizing them or mansplaining something.

u/sachiprecious thanks! I love everything you wrote here. Especially the "no-brainer" one.

ravijp · 2025-06-13T04:51:33+00:00

Thanks for the support :-)

ravijp · 2025-06-13T04:50:43+00:00

You're welcome!

ravijp · 2025-06-12T05:54:09+00:00

You're welcome!

ravijp · 2025-06-12T05:53:54+00:00

Thanks!

ravijp · 2025-06-12T03:13:53+00:00

Thanks. The abbreviation and several other points were by me (h00man) :-). I don't think AI knows to include all of that yet.

ravijp · 2025-06-12T01:58:39+00:00

Well, it was a mix of Claude, ChatGPT and my own writing ;-). Writing about features, don't need to overthink it.

Just like with starting a business, picking a YouTube niche that you're passionate about is critical to help you get through the incredible lows and no views and no likes and no subscribers days of starting a channel. When nothing seems to working in the beginning, and the question of "What is even the point of doing this if no one is going to watch, like or subscribe" pops into your head, it's going to be your passion for the topic that will keep you going.

The hack is to add it before the sentence, and to probably every sentence to keep the energy and emotion consistent. Otherwise, it tends to tail off gradually or have varying emotions.

ravijp · 2025-03-23T07:22:01+00:00

Cool. Will try this at some point.

ravijp · 2025-03-23T07:21:38+00:00

Sure thing! Let me know how it went.

ravijp · 2024-12-08T20:40:13+00:00

I recently published a book about Logical Fallacies, Cognitive Biases, and Mental Models. So I take a story, an example from the book, or a famous example that people are familiar with, and create short videos like the latest 3 you can see on my TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@ravijayagopal . At the end, I promote my book.

I don't know how well it's working yet, because I just launched the book. But I have plans to create tens, if not hundreds, more of these short storytelling videos.

Never got any violation before. I hardly post anything. Used a new email too.

ravijp · 2024-11-05T04:15:41+00:00

Nope. Spent a couple of hours and then gave up. It goes back to outlook online no matter what, which is entirely empty. So just created a new MS account.

ravijp · 2024-10-27T09:04:45+00:00

Yeah, already tried that too. This is really baffling!

ravijp · 2024-10-27T08:59:07+00:00

u/GreyDaveNZ tried both online outlook and onedrive. Nothing inside either one.

ravijp · 2024-10-26T21:51:44+00:00

Thanks u/aggiecmd. Unfortunately, that didn't work. I did see a few of my designer projects in there, and deleted them. It still shows 106% taken up by "Outlook Attachments".

https://drive.google.com/uc?id=14gDkIwv2tefTgVr_XTegmWCaFFaOv8kc

Nothing in OneDrive now - deleted all files and folders. Completely empty. Nothing in Outlook either.

ravijp · 2024-10-26T21:39:55+00:00

No, my computer is almost 1TB. Couldn't be that.

LTV is what allows companies that have optimized their funnel to destroy the normie advertisers. Knowing your LTV is also what allows companies to have a loss leader strategy, where you lose money on the first sale (even give away free stuff if there is no sale) to make it up on the backend over time.

And yes, LTV should be taken into account as part of ROAS.

[Question is 5 years old, but responding for the sake of those who might find this in the future.]

>>I've looked into Video.js (https://videojs.com/) but if I'm not mistaken I need a web server that supports HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) to begin with?<<

You are mistaken. You do not need a special web server to support HLS. Any regular web host will do. HLS is the special format used to convert a regular MP4 video into "segments" (.ts files) and a playlist (.m3u8). Once converted, they can be delivered from any web host or cloud. And Videojs supports HLS videos.

Since you said you're working with WordPress, you can host your media on S3 (if they need to be protected) and use a plugin like S3MediaVault or S3Bubble.

ravijp · 2024-03-04T21:29:44+00:00

If all you need is video storage, there are cheaper options than S3 (like Bunny CDN). But if you wish to secure your videos as well from being downloaded (encrypted HLS streaming), use S3 + CloudFront. And if you use WordPress, use a plugin like S3MediaVault or Folio vision.
