this is about live streaming and it’s pretty old. he does give numbers though. the one thing that is different now is that you as a streamer have to run ads now. you can’t ignore the ad button or twitch will run ads automatically.

this is why i use sponsorblock

I recently discovered the creator of sponsorblock made another plugin called DeArrow.
It's another plugin that works based on data users fill in. It replaces clickbaity titles with descriptive ones, and it replaces thumbnails with the creator making a stupid face with an actual screenshot from the video.

I don't know how it interacts with the plugin that puts Mr. Beast's face on every youtube thumbnail.

that seems counterproductive, the clickbaity titles and stupid thumbnails are the warning sign not to click the video

It shows you which ones were replaced and you can hover on them to see the original title/thumbnail. Just leads to better decisions.

also how open is open? because a few of my subs do that like brian david gilbert and captain disillusion but it's not like they're imitating a cartoon character from the 50s that just saw a jessica rabbit type or something

actually they're probably the exceptions that prove the rule because the only other sub i have that does thumbnails like that is coffeezilla and while i like his content and respect his investigative skills i absolutely hate his dumb persona

I installed this plugin and a lot of the title replacements were just minor nitpicks on otherwise fine titles. idk if it's gotten better in the past year but i didn't really need to have a bunch of wikipedia editors also becoming the editors of youtube

Gutsick is like a more likeable Forrest Valkai. When she goes for the kill, she's ruthless, but there's something about her delivery that feels less smarmy.

Anyway, she is a pro-tier subscription because both her easy-layup YEC dunk videos and her "lets talk about cool ancient hominid facts" videos are equally fun in different ways. It's good and fun to laugh at bible kids try to stammer their way around absolutely insane paleontology takes, but is also good and fun to listen to an enthusiastic speaker talk in-depth about their specialty.

I think if you avoid the Phineas and Ferb "Busted" term, you should be good.

I don't know what playlist this one ended up on, but I liked it.

sometimes it's just fun to have someone affirm that there are indeed a lot of people who are even less intelligent than I, and that there exist smart/charismatic people who agree with me and my worldview.

zojirushi rice cookers are so drat good. i was too cheap to drop $600 on one imported from japan so I have a chinese one eg sold by zojirushi with same design but made in china. extremely worth the ~200 cad i spent since we make rice 3-4x per week.

if you don’t have a rice cooker and you eat rice more than once a month you’re an idiot

I learned about a rice cooking method where you boil it in water for a couple minutes, and then pour it into a strainer and steam it for the remainder. It comes out perfectly chewy and not gummy or anything because the boiling process washes away most of the surface starch. It definitely requires a bit more attention than other methods but A+ would recommend

one feature of rice cookers that's not important for everyone but i really like is that the keep-warm will keep the rice both still nice and importantly food-safe for a ridiculous amount of time. however, that at least is a feature you should only use with a reasonably high-quality one, as you *really* want to trust it to be correct on temperatures etc. if you're going to keep the rice warm for an extended period.
