GOOGLE!!!!

im logged into youtube and i can click add to favorites under a video and itll select my pseudonymous acct but when i then try to go to "my account" it sends me to my real name account which has no favorites. its impossible to select the one with the favorites

why must it be so hard

so that you're forced to use your real name to call people "kike friend of the family faggots" in comments

and also to tie your usage statistics to your actual identity. 2 birds one cup

all that metric poo poo they can do behind the scenes without making GBS threads on the user

i figured it out though: turns out you have to go to youtube settings > See all my channels or create a new channel > then you can select your weird shamefetish bookmark account again. clicking on the account in the dropdown with the youtube settings button reloads the page but does nothing.

the fact that their viewership (using strictly desktop computers) is only marginally less than 2 years ago isnt surprising, its likely to be all mobile traffic now -

if you unit test everything and all the pieces work then once you hook them up it will also work

it's the "if you can work for 5 minutes without making any mistakes just do that for 8 hours" management theory

if you spend 5 horrible minutes on reddit you'll find the way they share videos now is through imgur's gifv/html5/mp4 video thingy

mostly with video games clips or other audio-free stuff, but they can be pretty long. stuff you'd have to put on youtube before.

yahoo posted:

Display advertising is graphical advertising on the World Wide Web that appears next to content on web pages, IM applications, email, etc. These ads, often referred to as banners, come in standardized ad sizes, and can include text, logos, pictures, or more recently, rich media.

search ads are very different

google's search ad business grows every year, because search ads are good and useful to both users and advertisers

google's display ad business shrinks every year, because display ads are a practical joke on the entire industry
