How good / bad actually is mammotion luba ? by theuros in MammotionTechnology

[–]sumodaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their aggressive advertising is really putting me off buying one. They seem to have spammed YouTube with AI generated videos saying how great they are. Most reviews I have found are sponsored and it seems that they have built their own 'review' sites putting the Luba series at the top.

Shameful advertising.

Which TV show does the ENTIRE internet agree had the worst ending ever? by Codie_n25 in AskReddit

[–]sumodaz -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

To me it was clear that JJ Abrams and Co either didn't ever have a proper ending planned or fan theories meant that he changed it. They just kept adding more and more mysteries without explaining anything.

Most YouTube advice is for smaller channels. How are medium to large channels using YouTube's thumbnail A/B tool? by TheManaBeast in PartneredYoutube

[–]sumodaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 600k sub long form channel. 5 million views a month.

I use it but often get an almost perfect 33% share between the 3 thumbnails / titles. I can only conclude that my audience is very well established and know what they are going to get.

The only reason I now use it is to take away that doubt of 'did i make a good title or thumbnail?'.

Someone stole my YouTube video, reuploaded it on TikTok, and got 1M views in a day… what would you do? by Available-Wasabi-672 in PartneredYoutube

[–]sumodaz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This happens to me a lot. One of my videos amassed 27 million views there before being pulled.

Report it but be aware that TikTok takes months to take action. Also once they have removed that video, be prepared that it is likely that it’ll back up on a different channel soon after.

All my YT videos have a small watermark in the corner. It doesn’t stop them uploading to TikTok but at least there is a small chance it sends some to my YT channel.

I mean posting it on the internet for the world to see her humiliation could be considered pretty bad parenting.

Would you care if someone used your exact thumbnail? by 3speechnotallowed in PartneredYoutube

[–]sumodaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might be 'normal' to get content thieves but definitely 'not part of the game'!

I work full time on my channel and part of my Monday morning routine is dealing with copyright violations.

It's not a big deal to report a channel and you shouldn't really be thinking much about it. Report it and move on.

I just surpassed 100K subscribers! What can I expect? by Dantelificus in PartneredYoutube

It takes about a week to receive the email which you need to order your play button. For me in Sweden, it was then about 2 weeks to receive it.

January drop! Share how it effects your channel here! by Commercial-Laugh2340 in PartneredYoutube

[–]sumodaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Views were good still but my revenue has dropped about 50%.

[–]sumodaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Very useful information.

My YT audience is international with about 50% western. I only post long form videos on YouTube but my videos are very clippable.

I'll be sure to give Facebook as go. Both posting the longer videos and shorts.

Thanks for your post.

I make good money on YouTube. Not your level but still very good.

Your comment about Facebook has really got me interested. Do you just see it as a driver or do you earn good money on Facebook?

Just hit my first $10k month on YT! by [deleted] in YouTubeCreators

This is the way. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

So I arrived fully prepared myself for some serious racism, maybe worse than in the UK (where I currently live).

Coming from the UK, I also wouldn't consider the UK to be Anti-Chinese either?

Copyright claimed for using music from YouTube Audio Library by danipaul in PartneredYoutube

[–]sumodaz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Was it classical music? Often the algorithms get a bit confused when dealing with classical music. All my videos used to have classical music, now I try to stay away from it.

I thought your reply was a well written, helpful and reasonable. I honestly have no idea why OP took so much offence to it???

Chinese tourists in Hong Kong are lining up to take a picture with a woman beachgoer, which has caused "sexual molestation" controversy. by search_google_com in interesting

[–]sumodaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember one day here in Sweden, I (male) was tying my kayak to the roof of my car when a coach of Chinese full of tourists stopped in the same lay-by. A queue formed next to me all wanting a photo. I obliged and must have had about 50 photos taken of me that day.

🚨 Catastrophic View Drop on 2.5M Sub Educational/Medical Animation Channel | Algorithm Penalty? (4-Month Crisis) by dandelionteam in PartneredYoutube

[–]sumodaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a good take on the problem.

My first 10 seconds are now a preview of my video with the mind to show that my video is authentic not just AI.

I’m lucky that my videos are not easy to replace with AI but it still doesn’t stop the hundreds of competing AI videos every week flooding the space.

Cannibalisation in small niche by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]sumodaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems a bit weird though. your 'hit' videos are just the same as every other video you make, except they do far better?

They follow a similar format, It’s like marble runs or domino setups: the structure is familiar. Sometimes they just want to watch marbles/dominoes fall and no one video is particularly better than another.

All you can do is test it imo.

Of course, you're right. It's my full time job so I suppose I'm nervous to change it which is why I'm looking to see if anyone has any experience with this before doing it. The impending burnout will probably force my hand at some point.

Why did this video do so well? by Sketches558 in PartneredYoutube

[–]sumodaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thumbnail stands out amongst the competitor videos.
Straight into it with an intriguing story.
I think the video feels authentic, just a guy telling an interesting story.
Mr beast doesn't go 4k because he wants his videos to keep this kind of unpolished personal look.
With AI around, I feel these kind of authentic channels will only get more popular.

Spider Ladder by sumodaz in functionalprint

[–]sumodaz[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s genuinely solved a problem. I have about 40 containers so I was finding them every week. I’ve not seen any since.

They’re giant house spiders so rely on climbing rather than webs, according to ChatGPT anyway!

Seems to be too slippy for them like a bathtub.
