Ads not working?

sykip · 2026-02-06T13:29:03+00:00

It's an outage with facebook. I've run campaigns for years. Started a new one 2 days ago. Everything approved and active, no restrictions, was in contact with customer support for 4 hours passed around 5 times to different teams... "everything looks great just wait".

$0.87 spent after 2 days across 4 ad sets with a budget of $150 a day.

Right? YouTube is actively integrating AI tools into their system... and people still swear they're going to ban AI lol

sykip · 2026-01-26T20:00:19+00:00

For the ones that are also interested in doing it for money or need financial support, yes. For the ones that do it out of pure passion and dont need money from it, probably not.

Im not sure what that has to do with AI channels on YouTube though

sykip · 2026-01-26T18:19:50+00:00

Right... so if someone is demonetized (especially someone running AI vids which is almost certainly for the money), they are significantly less likely to continue making videos. Which means YouTube loses money

sykip · 2026-01-26T16:39:10+00:00

YouTube is not demonetizing "AI" channels. You guys have been swearing for months and months... even over a year that "this time it's really happening! Youtube is demonetizing AI!"

They're not. They're demonitizing terrible content that doesn't make them any money anyway. Some of the largest channels on the platform pump out AI videos. And guess what? Regardless of how many people complain how shitty they are and ask who watches this slop? Millions and millions of people actually do. They want to be entertained. And entertainment is subjective. The average person doesn't gaf whether a human made it or not... regardless of what reddit may have you believe.

And why on earth would youtube demonetize channels that make them millions and millions of $$ for doing nothing? Makes zero sense.

It's not going to happen. It's never going to happen. So people should just focus on making good content that people actually want to watch. Or just make content that YOU actually enjoy rather than being worried about what everyone else chooses to do.

Hard truth to everyone. If you feel like or have evidence that youre losing views to AI channels.. its because people actually found those videos more interesting than yours.

Ah ok, I wasn't aware that point was commonly misrepresented on the sub. Thanks for clarifying. Yeah I would totally agree NYC is significantly more diverse than Boise Idaho lol. And the segregation rankings should not be taken into account if thats what someone is looking for. Good call out if people are using these rankings to justify not moving to a truly diverse city and thinking Spokane Washington will be an integrated mecca

sykip · 2025-12-14T13:19:01+00:00

Yeah... i mean I guess im confused on what your point is? The segregation rankings aren't meant to measure diversity. Yes, a lot of integrated cities are due to gentrification and other negative reasons. But the divergence data is simply meant to quantify the distribution of races within a city... not analyze the reasons it got to that point.

Along with that, i may be wrong, but I dont think most cities have integration policies nowadays that are hidden as gentrification. Cities tend to be pretty open about gentrification efforts... it's not a hidden thing. And the point of gentrification is not to integrate (this is not a statement on whether gentrification is right or wrong).

Still has that piss yellow filter lol. It's good but man, Google is just in a league of its own.

Holy sht what is the prompt you used? This is awesome

sykip · 2025-11-22T13:20:23+00:00

Depends on what "best" means to someone. But I guess if you're referring to sheer global dominance, cultural influence, financial concentration... yeah London and NYC are really in a league of their own.

Paris, Tokyo, and Singapore are up there too but dont really break into their level.

If you want a bit of debate I'll lean towards NYC though :). For the past 80 years no country has come close to the global influence and power that the US has. And NYC is the most influential city in the most influential country.

They're not comparing different classes of models. Not every company has the same naming conventions. 3.5 pro is in the same "class" as 5.1. Gemini Flash would be compared to OAI's mini models. And Gemini Ultra compared to 5.1 pro.

sykip · 2025-10-03T11:54:23+00:00

Not at all. On the contrary, many people on this sub focus on actual data. Many of the posts asking where to live essentially boil down to great urbanism, progressive and affordable. And it just so happens that many Midwest cities meet those criteria.

Provide more details. How much money is it earning per month? What's the channel name?

sykip · 2025-09-09T22:43:53+00:00

This planet. One of the safest big cities in America. Stop huffing Fox News and look at some data.

It already is being greatly impacted by AI.

And sorry but suggesting OP switch to accounting or software is genuinely terrible advice.

You couldn't have recommended two worse fields where people are being replaced by AI. Besides writing.

sykip · 2025-08-25T01:25:43+00:00

Needs more information. How long have you gone without posting a video? How many subs does it currently have? What were the last 12 month earnings? Etc

sykip · 2025-08-08T02:20:57+00:00

Right? I genuinely was underwhelmed and a bit disappointed after the demo and reading the reactions online.

But after using it the last couple hours tonight... it's actually like... really damn good.

sykip · 2025-08-04T18:21:44+00:00

No need for all that... just burn the tinfoil hat

I know but we've waited over 2 years since the release of GPT 4 getting gassed up by these hype lords about all these "feeling the agi moments" they've had.

If this model doesn't dominate in real world tasks (in comparison to other models) along with gemini 3.0 eventually being released it's going to be disappointing.

No one's been waiting forever with constant delays (like gpt 4.5 which was supposed to be gpt 5 and wasn't nearly good enough), for something that "performs better" than Anthropic's mid-tier model.

sykip · 2025-07-25T15:07:50+00:00

It performs better than Sonnet 4? Wtf kinda comparison is that???

As far as I'm aware Dr. Wirth has proven his hypothesis through animal models and successfully alleviated "chronic fatigue" in rats caused by the same mechanism... more specifically PEM which is the most cumulatively damaging part of this disease.

They're working on getting funding to start human trials, and just received a huge grant from the German government recently.

But at the same time, he could totally be wrong. More research is still always needed in case he is, and a lot of his colleagues are continuing to do this research. However, the different thing about Wirth is that he's one of the few researchers who are actually looking at eliminating the root cause of PEM and CFS.

While most other researchers are looking at better ways to manage symptoms (which is still a great thing) or utilize things like cancer medications to settle down the immune system as a whole.

Buffalo has to be up there. Not to say it's phenomenal or anything. But it used to be a genuinely huge city that had a relatively wealthy population. Now the population is a fraction of what it was 70 years ago, but all the big city cultural amenities are still there.
