If you wait until the day YouTube DEMONETIZES YOU!

YouTube isn’t the problem.

You not having a website to store them on is.

I’m not joking around.. stop waiting any longer!

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

@edda_vt That sounds about right.. that was last I’ve seen any significant traffic on the shorts.

While it is a little bothersome - I think it’s gonna reframe my habits a little bit for the better.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t check the studio more than I should to see a counter 😂

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

What is the reason why a YouTube short would not get pushed to the feed and stay on 0 views for like a day before getting pushed?

I’ve been noticing that more lately on my shorts.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

While this psychologically has a better effect on me as I’ll just keep posting anyway

But YouTube Shorts are not pushing out for anything. Not even when I go live on vertical streams.

They may get pushed out later but it’s glitched for sure.

Normally they will send out immediately but not even my girlfriend is getting the notifications on my shorts.

Rockstar Games needs to update us with something about GTA VI because I'm tired of all the goofs doing free marketing for them using AI generated videos that mean nothing.

@robertoblake What time do you go to the gym at? Lol it's so dark outside.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

@robertoblake Yeah I can’t see why everyone wants dislikes back so badly..

Half the damn time it never was a subject of how good of a video is. Just used as a weapon half the time.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

Yesterday I was emotionally spent with everything happening on the business side of things right now, even though we’ve got at least 5-7 prospects.

The conversation I had today with a random stranger after my gym session was one thing that didn’t make me want to quit and drop the idea..

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

@A_Vautrelle You aren’t wrong - the only job AI cannot replace is the human to human connection and commission based sales.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

@NikTek Even though I’ll play it because it’s been YEARS since the last Fable game.

I can’t help but realize the lack of art direction and how much of the same it looks with other games.

Especially when they push this realism on it.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

Are they changing the times they seed and push out to the feed?

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

Nobody talks about this but you don’t need sales calls anymore.

You need a podcast. That is the Trojan horse for all your sales.

Not because you convince someone to buy your product afterwards.

But because the story itself does the selling.

Thats the KEY element.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

There are days I legit want to give up on my business but then you find someone who believes it in as you do and reels you back in.

I’m too stubborn to stop.

It also doesn’t help that social media commands you go in so many directions.

Like I’m extroverted but that took years of training.

But I also hate pitching with a passion.

You can’t sell from a tense body language and shaky voice.

You need to be relaxed.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

Videography is more fun than the video editing.

Who agrees?

Also I prefer filming others than myself 😆

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

I think what Playstation really fumbles hard on in general is IP longevity. They've focused so hard on a hardcore gaming demographic, they neglect lot of their iconic IPs.

Nothing tops Mario.

If a video game crash were to happen, Nintendo once again will be the last ones standing.

They got more IP, and income streams surrounding their characters.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

The reason why I like Generative AI and chat models is because it accelerates the decision making process.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worked with people who cannot make up their minds or need to see a vision on something to just get started.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

@robertoblake The anti ai persona is gonna be a lonely road.

They often forget that you can both appreciate traditional art and get excited about Gen AI.

Both can be true.

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

“I need to talk to ____” is one of the silliest objections in sales.

I’m talking to you - why do you need permission from others to fulfill what you want?

[Steven Blanton @Doublepulses]

You’ll notice with the faceless channels that do have personality usually have an avatar as well.

An iconic original character for their videos, PFP and the video is held together by its polished editing skills.

There’s a lot more that goes into a faceless channel that most people don’t have the skills to maintain on their own.

Voice acting is a big one but it’s only one ingredient in this whole thing.
