Just one day after Jeff Bezos criticized New York school spending
Zohran Mamdani announced that the city had recovered $9 million in unpaid fines from Amazon delivery trucks
Pasar malams today are essentially nothing more than a grotesque representation of the full-on capitalistic society lacking in taste that Singapore has become.
From being an affordable night market with a variety of snacks, the whole model has shifted with the highest tender approach (18k/mth stall for Ramadan) and you now get snacks/desserts with all sorts of wacky toppings that either scream heart attack or diabetes, all in an effort to 'justify' the ridiculous mark up in prices that they have to sell at to break-even.
I don't think people realize how many views this is.
Pixel has been helping me post 3 Shorts a week for over a Year. I've never crossed more than 120K views within 90 days, let alone the 10 Million they're asking for.
Nerissa Ravencroft from HOLOLIVE EN will perform the Ending Theme for the 'TENCHI GALAXY' anime pilot following the crowdfunding stretch goal completion of $700k!
"We’re happy, Nerissa’s happy, and we hope you’re happy, too"
The campaign sits at 176% of the original $400k goal
As someone who works as a YouTube manager, I’m so upset. For small creators, this benchmark is ridiculous. You’d need to be hitting 111k views DAILY to reach 10 million in 90 days.
Shorts would make back pennies, sometimes dollars if you’re lucky, and now you get nothing.
YouTube is ignoring the real problems.
Creators are being terminated every single day, and instead of fixing the AI moderation system that keeps getting things wrong, YouTube is making monetization harder.
You’re losing creators every day because of your moderation systems.
Creators can lose years of work with little to no warning. Where are the warnings? Where is the transparency? Where is the real human review?
And seriously, why is it damn near impossible for a creator to reach a human reviewer when something goes wrong?
There are thousands of users on X fighting just to get a human to look at their case.
Creators built your platform. When something goes wrong, there should be someone there to help.
You say you want real creators who bring revenue to YouTube, but every time you wrongfully terminate a creator, you’re losing their content, their revenue, and their audience.
You want creators to stay on YouTube instead of moving to other platforms, but when you terminate them, you don’t just lose the creator you lose their entire community too.
Their audience can simply follow them somewhere else.
So why are you making monetization harder while creators are already struggling to trust the systems deciding whether they can stay on the platform?
Fix the moderation. Give creators meaningful human review. Give creators warnings and transparency.
We built your platform. Start listening to your creators.
If you believe creators deserve a fairer system:
✅ REPOST — more creators need to see this.
✅ LIKE — help spread the message.
✅ TAG @TeamYouTube & creators who need to see this.
Youtube just turned the healthier work pace I was building up, into crunch.
Instead of taking my time working myself up making comic dubs with my talents, I now have a 6 month window.
Fuck.
I may have to backburner a lot of other things including personal projects and work I'd have liked to do.
