@Pirat_Nation Well, if he really wants to stop calling it "slop", there is another 4 letter word which starts with "s", but this one ends with "t" and better describes what many people think of AI...

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wants you to stop calling AI "slop" in 2026.

@I77Express And she'll have a fit when she gets charged $99.99 for a a $1.00 toll on the Express Lanes. Then, while she is screaming, you'll be submitting a toll dispute with NC Quick Pass, while apologizing repeatedly, admitting the engagement ring was a better idea.

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

@3dGameMan Thanks for the mention! Glad to see you back on YouTube! I always enjoyed watching your videos back in the day!

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

It's been a week since I submitted the toll dispute. Still no answers. Just spoke with a CSR with @NC_QuickPass and she was puzzled about the $99.99 charge for a $1 toll on @I77Express . I was told the dispute could take up to 30 DAYS. Unacceptable! @WBTV_News should cover this!

On 10/3/23 at 8:15PM, my @NC_QuickPass transponder acct was charged $99.99 for a $1.00 toll on the @I77Express Lanes for a 2-axle Jeep SUV. The toll is in dispute. How does this happen? Like, you can't make this stuff up. I want this refunded, plus I want answers. @WBTV_News

@Zanet_Design @TeamYouTube @Daniel_Batal (3/3) "Don't do these 3 things!" simply causes a loss of trust in the platform. All of this invalid traffic didn't just appear overnight. To see creators work hard to end up losing their livelihoods over something out of their control is quite disturbing.

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

@Zanet_Design @TeamYouTube @Daniel_Batal (2/3) ...there clearly is a bigger issue at hand. Creators with lots of traffic from search in high paying niches are particularly the ones being targeted by this. And with @TeamYouTube and creator support continuing to sweep it under the rug, parroting the same old links of...

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

@Zanet_Design @TeamYouTube @Daniel_Batal (1/3) This whole Invalid Traffic circus has shown that this is simply not a reliable platform to earn from. Many creators including myself, either have or had this issue, despite not causing the alleged IVT. With all the posts from affected creators on the internet in 2023...

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

@Zanet_Design @whitney_bonds @TeamYouTube I have two channels - Cube Computer Channel (the affected channel) and cubecompmtdx (never affected). They are on separate Google accounts, but use the same AdSense account for monetization.

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

GOOD NEWS! Over the past few days, daily earnings on Cube Computer Channel have jumped back up to pre-June levels and the invalid traffic message went away in Channel Analytics. Has anyone else had the same luck, or are you still being affected by the #invalidtraffic glitch/bug?

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

@JonnyPease Daily revenue started to trend up a couple days before the message went away in analytics. Once the message went away, CPMs for skippable ads jumped way up.

My September 18, 2023 update on the YouTube #invalidtraffic glitch that affected Cube Computer Channel for 3 months:

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

@graphicious June 13th to September 13th. My channel was earning the lowest in 11 years. To put it into perspective, yesterday, my channel earned 4x as much for daily earnings as it did a week ago.

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

@Zanet_Design No admission of bug/glitch at all from YouTube.

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

@Zanet_Design My earnings have been increasing over the past 5 days, with the invalid traffic message gone for 2 days and counting. CPMs for skippable video ads and display ads have recovered. I'll post a video on YouTube this evening with updates on what I did that might have fixed it.

@duerra @UrbanowiczD__ @TeamYouTube Yep... @YouTube creator support and @TeamYouTube just send you copy/paste info on how YOU can prevent invalid traffic, totally ignoring there's something more to the situation. Lots of people suddenly complaining about IVT notifications since 11/22... Oh, nothing to see here!

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

Here it is - My draft message to my local TV news station regarding the YouTube Invalid Traffic situation that's killing the livelihoods and returns on investment of many small to midsize YouTube creators. Note this is not finalized and still a draft. @UrbanowiczD__ @TeamYouTube

[Nick Nalley @cubecompmtdx]

@lonseidman @UrbanowiczD__ @TeamYouTube The letter is to make the news aware and thoroughly explain the situation to someone who is new and unaware of it. I don't expect the news to read the letter verbatim as it is on TV.
