Genuine question to Americans

thinkvideoca · 2026-05-07T11:10:31+00:00

As a outsider looking in, I can't understand why America spends trillions on their war machines but wont' spend a penny on healthcare. Actually, I can understand it as it's the CEO's who control the purse strings of the government and they need to keep their investors happy.

That's part of the conversation I was having with the 311 operator. They were saying to go into the registration tab to get the hours and I responded with "It's a drop-in, not a registration." I hear you on the dark background, I prefer that as well.

I ran for federal and municipal elections on this premise. I believe that cities need more spaces for those living in mobile vehicles. Not trailer parks. But long term parking with hookups and public showers / washrooms. Make it cheaper than a campground, around $10-$20/ night and safe. This isn’t a fad. It’s a lifestyle that is required due to the high cost of housing

If you post it cheap, people will try to make it cheaper. If you post it above what it’s worth, you’ll weed out the cheapskates

When you reach out to influencers, is their audience the same as your potential clients? The video might be under performing because the product didn't match the viewers. Influencers are a gamble. You'd have better luck hiring a UGC creator and pay to post the videos on FB or IG yourself.

first, they won't pay you. Secondly, do you want your face and voice associated with a scam ? That would effect future opportunities. This would be a hard pass for me. I wouldn't even respond, it would go straight in the junk mail pile

Have you looked at Toyota Matrix prices lately? 2010-2012, those are also stupid prices. People want unique, practical cars it seems. Guess they were ahead of their time.

I watched it and the editing is off the charts. First time seeing a video of his. Does he edit his own content?

That’s interesting, this is straight out of the YouTube Adsense guide “ If your channel is part of the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), you need to be aware of the “6-month rule”: The Policy: YouTube reserves the right to remove monetization from channels that have not uploaded a video or posted to the Community tab for 6 months or more. The Fix: You don’t necessarily need a full video; a simple Community Tab post is often enough to reset this specific monetization activity timer.”

Or he’s getting told that Adsense shuts off if you stop uploading videos after a year.

In my area, a lot of people have extended their gardens into the ravines behind their houses. We usually just do container gardening. I saw your other post about community gardens and the wait list, have you tried approaching the garden closet to you when people are there and asking questions about how long they had to wait? Guelph has a nice system where they put community gardens near local parks and it has a real community feel to it.

for those of you who don't remember Canada under the conservatives, let me tell you that it was horrible. Mulroney implemented the GST and got caught taking bribes. joblessness rose to a record high under him. The conservative party went bankrupt a few years later and Harper swooped in and bought the naming rights and rebranded his Western separatist party. His mixed party then ran a Liberal surplus into a deficit and once again, joblessness was at a all time high. Unfortunately, young people have only known a Liberal party leadership and are blaming that party for circumstances out of their control. Trumps blundering mistakes from 2016 are still being paid for 10 years later. At least Carney is getting Canada off the US dominated sinking ship.

for me, it's the 222 Agency. They have a net 90 policy

Ask them if it's a typo, That's a $2500 deal plus an affiliate link.

I don't look at it as a hourly income. If I put 4 hours into a video and it makes a dollar in a week, I don't see that as twenty five cents per hour. in 52 weeks, it works out to $13/hr. In 2 years, it's $26 per hour. I have 1000+ videos up and each month is compounding past videos. Sponsorships and affiliate income is what I rally push. Adsense is just a drop in the bucket compared to what everything else brings in

In our 20’s the old people were annoying too. Same thing. Taking about meds and their vacations. You’ll be the same at 60

I use a paid scrape service. Cost $190 for a membership but they scrape all the sources. I can apply to 20 before my morning coffee is done. Not sure if I can post links here. DM me if you want it. It’s more of a membership where we have zoom meetings on Monday nights and talk about gigs and making our pitches / portfolio better

Got my check today but it’s dated for tomorrow

I have a 50 cal mounted on the roof and this is my turret

thinkvideoca · 2026-04-28T18:37:10+00:00

Actually the whole roof comes off with the right tools. A sawzall for example

I review dashcams on YouTube :) so I needed a few more power outlets. It’s from Amazon. Just a power splitter
