Youtube daily report Feb 1 2018

Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Corner of the Internet.

I am your most amazing host, Rebecca Felgate and today we are talking a few things your

teachers left off your lesson plans at school!

Join me as we talk about the Top 10 scariest facts about history you weren't taught in

school.

Before we get started I just want to remind all of you watching that we have Merch available

…and we even have some new stuff now…so check it out

Okay, scary facts you weren't taught at school….

10 - Heroin used to be used as a Children's cough syrup.

German drug company Bayer made a heck of a lot of money off selling heroin to parents.

Get a load of these babies.

Heroine was a prescription drug in the US until 1914 and was then banned in 1924.

Can you imagine how the children would be after a sweet dose of bayer Heroine.

Christ.

9 - Hugo Boss Designed Nazi Party Uniforms Hugo Boss is a luxury German Fashion house

that now sells its product globally and is frequently seen on runways.

The designer brand started up in 1924 and originally supplied the Nazi Party before

and during World War 2.

Comedian Russell Brand was ousted from the GQ Men of the Year Awards after making Nazi

jibes at the brand in 2013.

Remember Thomas Edison from your history lessons…you know… the light bulb guy… well he had

a Very Dark Side… your teachers didn't tell you he murdered an elephant, now did

they!

That is coming in to number 8.

Thomas Edison devoted his life to working with electricity.

Unfortunately he got pretty brutal when he needed to prove a point.

In 1903, the American inventor murdered an elephant to prove that alternating current

was a bad idea.

He invited 1500 people to watch him murder Topsy the Elphant at Luna Park Zoo on Coney

Island.

He also filmed it and released the footage to the public.

It is heartbreaking.

coming in at number 7 – Remember that song you used to sing as a kid in the play ground-

Ring a Ring of Roses …. Yeah well ….it's a death song.

Ring a Ring o Roses is a song about people dying from the plague.

Ring o roses refers to the rash that plague victims

would develop, the pocket full of posies refers to herbs that people would carry to protect

themselves from plague…and the atisho atisho bit is the sneezing of a sick person…and

the we all fall down bit is where…you know….people physically drop down dead and die.

Fun.

In Europe, a lot of us are very proud of our monarchy and the centuries of history behind

it, but not one taught us at school that King Charles II of Spain was severely inbred.

King Charles the II was the last Hasburg ruler of Spain.

He was the product of 16 generations of rulership in Europe, but also 16 generations of inbreeding.

The Hasburgs were a lot like the fictional Lannisters; they were very concerned in keeping

their bloodline pure.

Awkward.

In school, I was taught a lot about the Roman Empire, but I was never taught this….

6 Romans Used Humane Urine as Mouthwash and crushed mouse brains as tooth paste …

Blimey.

Well.

What a treat.

I guess they had to keep their breaths fresh somehow!

They also used urine to clean their clothes.

This is basically because ammonia, which is found in pee, takes out stains…so…they

were more concerned with having white teeth than fresh breath!

I personally would pass on cleaning my teeth with pee and brains….

Just a personal choice.

5 - Saddam Hussein was given the key to the city of Detroit

History paints Saddam Hussein as a bad guy, mainly because he was indeed a bad….er…guy.

None the less, after making a donation to a church in Detroit in 1979 because a Reverend

praised him, he was handed the city keys.

The American history books aren't so proud of that one.

4 - Christopher Columbus raped children Oh.

Well that kind of extinguishes the yey for Columbus and his explorations party.

In some places, people even goes as far as to celebrate a Christopher Columbus day.

The problem is, not only was he awful to the indigenous people he also raped them, including

the kids.

He would often give his lieutenants sex slaves and wrote that girls from 9 to 10 years of

age were the most desirable….

Urm.

3 – Nazi Twin Experiments I don't know how much history has shielded

people about the kind of experiments Nazi War Lords did on concentration camp victims;

obviously we know that they gassed innocent people, but the school history books leave

out a few choice facts.

I know a lot about the Josef Mengele experiments because I have done extensive research on

that area of history , but a lot of people don't about the veteran Nazis sick experiments

on twins and other such horrific medical tests.

Mengele would inject chemicals into their bodies, especially their eyes to try and change

their colours.

Another Nazi, Isle Koch allegedly made lamps from human skin.

2- The Extent of Japanese Cruelty in World War Two

Possibly because Hiroshima and Nagaski were so horrific to humanity and the pain echoed

throughout Japan for a great deal of time, the extend of Japanese killing in world war

two is somewhat brushed over by history.

Of course all countries involved inflicted pain and suffering, but did you know that

Japanese torture methods were considered to be the most severe, that the Japanese killed

more Chinese soldiers than the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust , and that Japan wounded

more American's in Alaska than at Pearl Harbour?

There were also swathes of reports of Japanese cannibalism.

Of course, this far in the future, we have to live and let live, but Nazi Germany got

the lions share of the blame for atrocities, and Japanese war crimes are largely glossed

over.

Finally….just when you thought we were sort of semi living in a time of peace….

You may not know that Russia and Japan are technically still at war.

Two powerful countries who are still sour post World War Two.

Eeesh.

Even though the countries haven't been engaging in hot war for over 70 years, they never signed

a peace treaty officially indicating peacetime.

The pair still disagree over the Kuril Islands.

SO that was the top 10 scariest facts about history you weren't taught in school.

I actually really enjoyed this list.

Love me a lil bit of history!

Did any of you guys already know some of this stuff?

What did you find the most shocking ? Let me know in the comments section below.

The teeth brushing with mouse brains and urine was a personal highlight I think.

I think that is a good note to end this video on?

7 January 2018 Nintendo Switch eShop Games Worth Playing - Duration: 12:35.

I played SOOO many games this month…

SO MANY!

Back in the early days of gaming, hell, even as late in gaming as last generation, really.

January has been a historically light month both in quantity AND quality with not a whole

lot of notable releases happening due to publishers releasing their big guns in the months prior.

Y'know, holiday seasons and whatnot.

So imagine my surprise when I received some top notch games in my inbox throughout the

month being released for Nintendo Switch.

In this video, I wanna talk a bit about the most noteworthy games I was lucky enough to

receive review copies for, for the purposes of this video.

Keep in mind, this video was not sponsored, I just received these games for free.

In fact, to pay it forward, I want to give 1 of you guys a chance to receive 1 or more

of these games for free.

Sooooo, I decided to make this into a giveaway.

Stay tuned until the end to figure out how to enter to win a Nintendo Switch eShop gift

code for your region of choice.

Ok?

Moving on.

Not every game on this list is necessarily MY cup of tea, but, they all very clearly

stood out to me as games that I could see particular kinds of gamers enjoying.

Some for obvious reasons that I relate to.

Other for reasons I can see being the case but I don't necessarily identify with personally,

or somewhere in between.

Innerspace is a game that I had NO clue about before looking into games to play for this

video.

It's not exactly my type of game on a narrative level (it has some sort of philosophical story

that I'm sure those of you into that sort of thing, y'know, games like Abzu, Flower,

or Journey, would enjoy.)

That's not exactly my cup of tea.

Not to say those games are bad or anything.

I just tend to want to play through a game that mainly requires me to engage mechanically.

Not so much in reading dialogue way and not so much in even watching cutscenes.

So, when I got to the gameplay I was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't suspect a whole lot.

I didn't think this game would put a whole lot of effort in that front.

It's fun enough as a player who has long been a fan of flight games like this (as some of

you may know, we're pretty big Star Fox fans here.)

What REALLY drew me into play this game though was the art style.

This game is gorgeous.

As I'm sure you can see through the gameplay on screen.

My only problem with it is at times things tended to bleed together for me.

I don't often wish for the 3D feature from the 3DS, but, if any game could use it, Innerspace

is that game.

But, that's more of a personal nitpick than a glaring problem, the biggest glaring problem

is the game is a bit tedious & confusing at times.

If you're not in it for the joy of exploring the world to the point of being ok with getting

lost in it from time to time, this game may not be for you.

BUT if you're into the idea of a narratively driven game about lost civilizations, flying

around in different aircrafts, solving simple puzzles, and have $20 laying around I'd

say it's a fine way to spend 3 or 4 laid back gaming sessions with.

Draw a Stickman EPIC 2 is in a way the game that led me to make this video and eventually

decide on making it into a series to show you guys some maybe lesser known more niche

games, even if they're game I'm not super into, currently at least.

Right off the bat, let me just say that this game is one of those games I was describing

when I said it's not for everyone, but, I do feel it has it's place.

Mostly for younger gamers.

When I was younger, I was about 13?

I was REALLY into drawing so my mom thought it would be a great idea to get me a game

called Drawn to Life.

That game was a platformer that allowed the player to create their character, elements

in the world, weapons, solutions to puzzles, things like that.

That is exactly the draw… no pun intended to EPIC 2.

It's more of a Zelda 1 style simplified version of that but the core appeal of this

game, to me, is the same.

The ability to craft your own world through your drawings is an awesome prospect for anyone

with an artistic side.

Especially if you're the type to make up stories & draw comics like I was as a kid.

This game allows you to make it into a rudimentary game version of that world.

If that sounds like your thing, check out EPIC 2 for only $7 on the eShop.

Stickbold is one of those games that I always was curious as to why we haven't recieved

a game like it up until this point.

We've gotten tons of sports ball games.

Football, Baseball, Basketball, THERE'S EVEN A CRICKET GAME!

BUT NO DODGEBALL??

That's an INJUSTICE.

Dodgeball is the elementary physics ed MVP.

EVERYBODY played dodge ball.

Didn't matter if you were someone that always made excuses for why your doctor said you

totally can't play, or one of those girls that refused to bring gym clothes.

YOU WANTED TO PLAY DODGE BALL.

Stikbold satiates that desire in video game form.

Interestingly enough, this games control method of choice is going in twin stick shooter style.

& it works well.

& as im sure you'd expect from a game that looks like this, it's not exactly a hardcore

simulator sports game.

There are environmental hazards that adds to the general cartoonish wackiness of the

game.

That's not to say there isn't a fair amount of complexity.

The ability to arc shots off the walls adds another level to your strategy & you get bonus

points & that's always a nice bonus.

If that sounds like your thing, you can pick Stikbold a Dodgeball Adventure Deluxe on the

eShop for $20.

The Escapists is a game I'm sure a fair amount of you have played in the past, especially

when you consider the fact that it was made available for free on both PS Plus AND Xbox's

Games with Gold service.

I'm sure you know all about the premise.

You're a prisoner in an RPG tasked with bartering, stealing, fighting, working and

everything in between your way out of various prisons.

Escapist is more of that, better.

The BEST part is the ability to do all of this with a friend.

Anywhere.

Thanks to Switch of course.Because of this, Escapist 2 is one of my personal favorites

this month.

Team 17 was kind enough to send Logan and myself both codes so we can test this feature

out to talk about this feature and let me tell you, we didn't even know what exactly

we were doing and still enjoyed playing GTA style.

You know.

The thing everyone does in GTA that is causing chaos instead of progressing?

There was a fair bit of that.

Mostly because we ignored the tutorial and jumped Lin blind.

Pro tip do as I say, not as I do.

Go through the tutorial.

You'll be better for it.

We also worked out.

Logan skipped out on shower time to work out.

Got sent to solitaire confinement.

It was a great time.

You can play this game with YOUR friends or randos either cooperatively like we did or

you could play versus if you're more of the competitive type.

OOORRR if you're in the darkest timeline, you can play alone.

If that sounds good to you, you can download it for $20 on the eShop.

Super Meat Boy is a classic.

Many of you have likely played it.

ALL of you have at the VERY LEAST herd of it.

Before making this video, I was in the latter camp.

For whatever reason, I had never got around to playing Super Meat Boy DESPITE having access

to every platform it was available on up until now.

That being said, the fact that it plays the way I would expect a game of its genre to

play in this day and age and it's nearly a DECADE old speaks volumes to its quality

and how much it deserves its place as video game royalty.

It's hard but fair.

I always felt like my deaths taught me more about what I needed to do to succeed in the

future.

That's great game design right there.

The characters are iconic, the story is classically simple and out of the way, something I'm

sure I've made clear is right up my ally 9 times out of ten.

If you are like me and would like to experience this gamer the 1st time, or you already have

experienced this game's greatness and would love to have this with you anywhere you go

on what for myself and I'm sure many of you is the platform of choice, you can grab

it on the Nintendo eShop for $15.

Super One More Jump was another surprise for me.

I heard of this game relatively late when a viewer of our videos wanted to hear our

my opinion on it.

& to get those impressions out of the way, this game is awesome, addicting, and to kill

the alliteration against my better judgement, pure fun.

This game proved to me that playing a game like this, which, at 1st glance looks like

one of those half assed free to start mobile games that you would typically see on a mobile

app store littered with poorly implemented microtransactions could be magical if you

do what PREMO did and deliver a cool core premise, smart design, a steady clip of new

mechanics and twists on the formula, with a healthy helping of replayability through

the self imposed challenge to 100% each level, and a Nintendo Switch in tow.

If arcade platforming with a hint of puzzle added in is your bag you'll love this game

and should therefore go get it on the eShop for only $7

Honorable Mention: Dragon Ball FighterZ.

I only only have 1 thing to say about this game.

I love it.

I love it so much that I hate it for not being on Switch and forcing me to play it elsewhere.

That'll be all.

#PutItOnSwitch.

Celeste is easily my favorite game on this list and to make things even better, it was

another surprise.

Before playing this I knew next to nothing about it other than the short trailer that

I admittedly brushed over in the January Mini Direct.

When I 1st turned on this game and experienced the Breath of the Wild-esk climbing, I was

hooked, the way this game continues to throw more mechanics at you by way of this climb,

thee dash, and momentum based platforming has me thinking about this game whenever I'm

not playing it.

Even before scripting and recording this video I have been a HUGE proponant of the amazingness

of this game.

I recommended on social media, I told IRL friends and family, I pestered Bob Wulff from

The Wulff Den into streaming it and eventually loving it himself.

& now, I'm recommending it to you.

If you even like platforms A LITTLE BIT.

Buy this game.

If you're into narrative games, buy this game, if you don't fall into either of these

categories but you don't have any other new game you want to play BUY!

THIS!

GAME!

I know we're a month into the year, but, this is so far Game of the Year material.

I haven't played a 2D platformer THIS good since Shovel Knight, and, that's saying

something, because that was a Game of the Year contender as well, even when considering

the great games that were released in 2014.

I haven no doubt this game will be the same for 2018.You can grab this absolute masterpiece

for $20.

A steal if you ask me, BUT, just in case money's tight from the holiday, or, you're a child

or someone else with limited disposable income I WANNA GIVE YOU the opportunity to pick this

or any of the other games I mentioned in this video.

Like I said in the beginning of the video, I'm giving away a $35 Nintendo eShop card

so you can check this out.

You can enter to win by scrolling down in the description and clicking read more for

the link.

The winner will be required to subscribe and ring the notification bell to for the best

chances.

You can also do all of the additional options provided on the site, but, that's up to

you.

I'll be announcing the winner in a future video that.

Which video?

You'll have to watch to find out.

I want the winner to be someone who is subscribed and genuinely enjoys our content so I'd

rather not make the announcement this super obvious thing for scavengers on the internet,

just for those of you who'd watch anyway!

] Anyway, make sure to comment and tell me if

I missed anything, let me know what YOUR favorite January game was, again, make sure to subscribe

and click the bell, and most importantly tell a friend who may not know what to play so

far in 2018. & be sure to tune for videos like this in every Tuesday & Thursday or our

weekly podcast every Saturday all at 4PM eastern time Ok.

That's it for me.

See you next week.

What YouTube's Changes REALLY Mean for Small Channels (Post Logan Paul Controversy) - Duration: 11:03.

So YouTube just changed their monetization policy for creators…

And obviously this threw the entire community into disarray.

You had people who were arguing that this change was good, and others who were arguing

this change was bad.

Hint: I'm not a fan of the change, and there's a deeper reason why.

But before diving into that reasoning, let's explain the side of the argument that people

use who are for the change.

Keep in mind the things in this video are based on my own experiences on the platform.

For new viewers to the channel, I'm SwankyBox - I cover gaming mysteries, lore, and nostalgia.

However, I'm super passionate about YouTube as a platform and have studied it extensively.

I hardcore nerd out when people start talking about YouTube because I'm fascinated by

its inner workings and how it all ticks.

Besides creating on YouTube, I speak around the country about YouTube, pursuing your creative

passions, and storytelling in games.

I've consulted for both creators and businesses small and large, and overall YouTube has been

quite the amazing journey.

That's partially why I decided to write a book about being a YouTuber.

I digress though.

So when a dramatic change like this occurs, of course I wanted to sink my teeth into it.

I couldn't resist.

So let's rewind back to the initial dilemma.

YouTube changed its policy for monetization from 10,000 total channel views to now 4,000

hours of watch time and 1,000 subscribers.

The reason they did this was because they were looking for a way to fix illegitimate

monetization on the platform through stolen videos.

There are other reasons as well, but a big factor was that you could steal videos, monetize

them, and then make off with the goods before your account got closed.

This change affects tons of creators who were playing by the rules.

Lots of people will lose their monetization perks come February 20th and this caused an

uproar in the community.

However, people were divided.

In terms of people being for the change, people would argue the following points.

Majority of these people had stood the test of time on YouTube and were established, larger

creators.

The first rebuttal was that people shouldn't be focusing on the money when creating.

If you're worried about losing out on potentially $100, or the amount you'd probably earn

on your way to monetization, then you're creating for the wrong reasons.

And they're right.

I absolutely agree with that because that shouldn't be your immediate goal and why

you started.

However, there's a stipulation with this which I'll get to later.

Majority of these creators explained that they created for years before YouTube actually

rolled out monetization, or before they were partnered and began running ads.

From their own experiences, they were able to achieve where they are despite not having

monetization rolled out.

Many larger creators offered sincere advice to creators who were starting out or struggling

with the new changes, and this was of course very helpful to hear.

However, this is only the surface level of the issue.

The problem with this approach is that it does not address the actual issues it potentially

causes.

In terms of eliminating problem channels though, it does solve that pain point for YouTube.

A lot of people were angry, myself included, because of the Logan Paul incident as well.

These monetization changes were in the works before Logan Paul face planted, but they were

certainly held off on because of it.

This is why creators who had reached the 10,000 view goal, myself included on my second channel,

were sitting in limbo for about a month waiting for their review - only to come back and see

that their 10,000 goal had now been multiplied by ten.

Okay, now let's explain why this is a huge issue for small creators.

Certainly do not throw in the towel if you are creating, but hopefully this will shed

some light on the problem.

Let's present the other side of the argument.

Withdrawing smaller channels from monetization, in theory, axes a large percent of their growth

potential.

So the immediate issue is that 4,000 hours of watch time is 240,000 minutes, which is

a huge barrier to overcome as a small creator.

Again, large creators cited their watch time saying that they easily pass this in a month,

but getting over that hump is painfully difficult when you have a limited audience.

Beyond that, growing in a vacuum -without a shoutout boosting you - has become even

more difficult.

If the 10,000 views from the original rules was in play, and you received on average 5

minutes of viewership per view (which is extremely high by the way), that's only 833 hours.

You aren't even 1/4th of the way there.

Beyond that, your audience retention will probably be much less than that.

Some views may be 20 seconds, some a minute.

That means that 833 hours is an overestimate by a long shot.

So now you probably need around 75,000 views or so to hit that watch time threshold.

And you have to achieve that in 12 months or you'll begin losing progress…

You may be thinking, "But why focus on the monetization so intently Swanky?

You just said that shouldn't be the goal."

It's not.

But monetization opens you up to your content being further recommended to people.

Most YouTubers gain their bulk of their viewership by their videos being recommended to others.

YouTube predicts videos to suggest based off their interests, demographics, and previous

watch history.

Now YouTube has come out and said that these monetization changes won't change video

discovery.

That monetization doesn't affect discovery in general.

And I think that's untrue.

I know it probably seems weird to challenge the voice of god, but we have to consider

how all of this works.

Starting off, YouTube has been wrong about their own platform many times.

If they weren't wrong, they wouldn't need to consult some of their biggest creators

for advice on how their own platform actually works.

And that's something that certainly happens.

Also, one person posting something on Twitter is not the voice of god.

When I was writing my book on being a YouTuber, I was directed back and forth between different

departments because the teams within YouTube don't actually talk to one another.

This is normal because this is a huge company we're talking about - but that means miscommunication

happens all the time.

The customer support on Twitter aren't the people who are tweaking the algorithm and

writing the code.

They don't fully know how it works just like we don't.

To some degree, they can't fully know how it works because it would be a gold mine if

someone did.

So they just follow a script and what they are told through the grapevine.

That's why you sometimes get automated and canned responses.

An automated algorithm is a crazy beast.

This is why I challenged their reasoning that monetization doesn't affect discovery.

It has to in some way.

Recommendations takes place when you start accruing a certain amount of watch time on

a video.

They then suggest another video to watch.

Your content can surely be recommended to others unmonetized, but I believe it is at

a lower rate.

I've been studying my small gameplay channel and pet channel to compare results.

But let me explain why I challenge this reasoning.

It all starts with the purchasing of ads.

Ads are bought through Google Adwords for the most part, unless companies are directly

working with YouTube's premium services.

One of the types of ads that can be bought, and one of the more expensive types of ads,

are the pre-roll ads.

These are ads that play immediately when you start a video.

Sometimes you can skip them, and more expensive variants can't be skipped.

This whole process is called PPC in the marketing world.

It stands for pay per click, because your marketing budget gets spent as user activity

takes place.

You get your ad watched or interacted with, you get charged.

Obviously the benefits of the ad outweigh the expenses, but this is where the money

comes from on YouTube.

But a lot of ad campaigns have daily budgets.

They choose to spend x amount of dollars a day, and the more demanding their search category

is, the more expensive it can be to compete for ad space.

But this is why I believe video recommendations on YouTube do rely on ad input.

If there are unspent ad dollars at the end of a day-to-day budgeted campaign, that money

is lost for Google.

Say you were spending 10 dollars total per day and that was your max limit.

If YouTube only fulfills 5 of those 10 dollars, 5 dollars are lost to YouTube when they could

have made that 5 dollars if they simply were able to serve up the ads on appropriate videos.

But YouTube only has a set amount of time to do this in a day…

So which makes more sense from a business perspective: Recommend videos with monetization

off where there is no business gain for YouTube, or recommend monetized content that is their

only way of spending pre-roll ad slots?

YouTube wants to make money…

And supporting the video platform as a whole is expensive.

I think the choice is obvious.

If you had two successful videos that are killing it in watch time and retention rates,

but one can be used to run premium ads and one does nothing, I'd imagine YouTube is

going to put the monetized in favor.

It'd be a weird business decision otherwise.

So that means if you don't have monetization enabled, in theory, you're not operating

on the same system as a monetized channel.

This is why it is a huge problem for small creators.

The barrier to entry just became a mile high wall, and no one is actually talking about

the deep problem it causes.

I understand why YouTube wants to screen creators to make sure they are ad friendly, but I just

feel this goal is brutal.

While writing my book I spent around 6 months studying a brand new channel I created with

my significant other that had no outside boost from others.

It was grown in a bubble and didn't have access to my larger audience on this channel

at all.

No one SwankyBox-related even knew about it.

And I used that to really assess the struggle that new channels have.

The struggle that large creators simply don't understand anymore because everything has

changed about the platform since they were small.

Their advice is genuine and from the heart, but it is sort of blind advice because they

aren't actually considering what it is like to be a small channel in this moment.

A channel that has no outlets for help, no chance of getting shouted out, and has to

forge their own path the hard way.

And to clear something else up: Demonetization is not the same as having monetization off.

If your YouTube channel had stats for exposure like in a RPG, monetization would give you

a +1 modifier, no monetization would have you at 0, and demonetization would be -1.

You can still function without monetization, but if you're demonetized your videos are

avoided like the plague.

You can still get your videos recommended on your own channel from existing videos,

but it is going to severely limit your chances - if not completely - of popping up elsewhere.

You can still be discovered in search in terms of being demonetized, but kiss everything

else goodbye.

I'm hoping I didn't miss anything in this video.

If I did, you'll see it in a pinned comment below.

Things like this are why I decided I needed to write a book for the next generation of

content creators.

Sorta like passing off the torch in some regards.

I remember stumbling through YouTube trying to figure out how to grow when all of it seemed

hopeless.

There was hope, but with no sense of direction, I didn't know how to reach it.

And I had no one I could ask for help.

It can be super scary because of that.

This book is the book I wish I had when I started.

It's literally everything I learned about YouTube, being a YouTuber, and using YouTube

as a platform for pursuing a creative career.

If you thought what was discussed in this video was insightful, I recommend checking

out the book.

I have a few sample chapters on my website too that you can dive into.

It's designed to give you insight into every aspect of being a YouTuber, and provide you

the answers to the questions you've been wanting to ask but have never had the chance

to.

Plus, you'll get to hear from a bunch of other awesome creators.

YouTube is a hell of a journey, and I strongly hope you'll consider giving it a whirl.

I hope this book can help you get there too, because that would mean the world to me.

It comes out February 12th of 2018, and you can find more information in the description

below.

And with that…

Thanks for tuning in to this YouTube breakdown!

Please share your thoughts in the comments below, because this is certainly a topic open

for discussion.

All sides of the argument are important, so let's have an open conversation about it!

Anyways, thanks for watching guys and gals, and until my next video - cheers!

The power of citizen video to create undeniable truths | Yvette Alberdingk Thijm - Duration: 12:31.

It's 1996

in Uvira in eastern Congo.

This is Bukeni.

Militia commanders walk into his village,

knock on his neighbors' doors

and whisk their children away to training camps.

Bukeni borrows a video camera from a local wedding photographer,

he disguises as a journalist

and he walks into the camps to negotiate the release of the children.

He filmed footage of the children being trained as soldiers.

[Soldiers don't worry!]

[You'll wear uniforms!]

[You'll have free cars!]

[Free beans!]

Many of these children are under 15 years old,

and that is a war crime.

[Free!]

But you don't have to go to eastern Congo to find human rights abuses.

In America, a country with a rapidly aging population,

experts estimate that one in 10 people over 60

will experience abuse.

It's a hidden epidemic,

and most of that abuse actually happens at the hands

of close caretakers or family.

This is Vicky.

Vicky put an iron gate on her bedroom door

and she became a prisoner, in fact, in her own house,

out of fear for her nephew who had taken over her home as a drug den.

And this is Mary.

Mary picked up a video camera for the first time in her life

when she was 65 years old,

and she asked Vicky and 99 other older people

who had experienced abuse to tell their stories on camera.

And I am Dutch,

so in the Netherlands we are obsessed with the truth.

Now, when you are a child, that's a great thing,

because you can basically get away with anything,

like "Yes, Mama, it was me who smoked the cigars."

(Laughter)

But I think this is why I have dedicated my life

to promoting citizen video to expose human rights violations,

because I believe in the power of video to create undeniable truths.

And my organization, WITNESS,

helped use the Congolese videos

to help convict and send a notorious warlord called Thomas Lubanga to jail.

And the videos that Mary shot,

we trained Mary and many other elder justice advocates,

to make sure that the stories of elder abuse

reached lawmakers,

and those stories helped convince lawmakers

to pass landmark legislation to protect older Americans.

So I wonder,

billions of us now have this powerful tool right at our fingertips.

It's a camera.

So why are all of us not a more powerful army of civic witnesses,

like Mary and Bukeni?

Why is it that so much more video

is not leading to more rights and more justice?

And I think it is because being an eyewitness is hard.

Your story will get denied,

your video will get lost in a sea of images,

your story will not be trusted, and you will be targeted.

So how do we help witnesses?

In Oaxaca, in Mexico,

the teachers' movement organized a protest

after the president pushed down very undemocratic reforms.

The federal police came down in buses and started shooting at the protesters.

At least seven people died and many, many more were wounded.

Images started circulating of the shootings,

and the Mexican government did what it always does.

It issued a formal statement,

and the statement basically accused the independent media

of creating fake news.

It said, "We were not there,

that was not us doing the shooting,

this did not happen."

But we had just trained activists in Mexico

to use metadata strategically with their images.

Now, metadata is the kind of information that your camera captures

that shows the date, the location,

the temperature, the weather.

It can even show the very unique way you hold your camera

when you capture something.

So the images started recirculating,

and this time with the very verifying,

validating information on top of them.

And the federal government had to retract their statement.

Now, justice for the people for Oaxaca

is still far off,

but their stories, their truths, can no longer be denied.

So we started thinking:

What if you had "Proof Mode?"

What if everybody had a camera in their hands

and all the platforms had that kind of validating ability.

So we developed --

together with amazing Android developers called the Guardian Project,

we developed something called a technology that's called Proof Mode,

that marries those metadata together with your image,

and it validates and it verifies your video.

Now, imagine there is a deluge of images

coming from the world's camera phones.

Imagine if that information could be trusted just a little bit more,

what the potential would be for journalists,

for human rights investigators,

for human rights lawyers.

So we started sharing Proof Mode with our partners in Brazil

who are an amazing media collective called Coletivo Papo Reto.

Brazil is a tough place for human rights.

The Brazilian police kills thousands of people every year.

The only time that there's an investigation,

guess when?

When there's video.

Seventeen-year-old Eduardo was killed in broad daylight

by the Rio police,

and look what happens after they kill him.

They put a gun in the dead boy's hand,

they shoot the gun twice --

(Shot)

to fabricate their story of self-defense.

The woman who filmed this was a very, very courageous eyewitness,

and she had to go into hiding after she posted her video

for fear of her life.

But people are filming, and they're not going to stop filming,

so we're now working together with media collectives

so the residents on their WhatsApp

frequently get guidance and tips,

how to film safely,

how to upload the video that you shoot safely,

how to capture a scene so that it can actually count as evidence.

And here is an inspiration

from a group called Mídia Ninja in Brazil.

The man on left is a heavily armed military policeman.

He walks up to a protester --

when you protest in Brazil, you can be arrested or worse --

and he says to the protester, "Watch me,

I am going to search you right now."

And the protester is a live-streaming activist --

he wears a little camera --

and he says to the military policeman, he says, "I am watching you,

and there are 5,000 people watching you with me."

Now, the tables are turned.

The distant witnesses, the watching audience, they matter.

So we started thinking,

what if you could tap into that power,

the power of distant witnesses?

What if you could pull in their expertise, their leverage,

their solidarity, their skills

when a frontline community needs them to be there?

And we started developing a project that's called Mobilize Us,

because many of us, I would assume,

want to help

and lend our skills and our expertise,

but we are often not there when a frontline community

or a single individual faces an abuse.

And it could be as simple as this little app that we created

that just shows the perpetrator on the other side of the phone

how many people are watching him.

But now, imagine that you could put a layer of computer task routing

on top of that.

Imagine that you're a community facing an immigration raid,

and at that very moment, at that right moment, via livestream,

you could pull in a hundred legal observers.

How would that change the situation?

So we started piloting this with our partner communities in Brazil.

This is a woman called Camilla,

and she was able -- she's the leader in a favela called Favela Skol --

she was able to pull in distant witnesses

via livestream

to help translation,

to help distribution,

to help amplify her story

after her community was forcibly evicted

to make room for a very glossy Olympic event last summer.

So we're talking about good witnessing,

but what happens if the perpetrators are filming?

What happens if a bystander films and doesn't do anything?

This is the story of Chrissy.

Chrissy is a transgender woman

who walked into a McDonald's in Maryland

to use the women's bathroom.

Two teens viciously beat her for using that woman's bathroom,

and the McDonald's employee filmed this on his mobile phone.

And he posted his video,

and it has garnered

thousands of racist and transphobic comments.

So we started a project that's called Capturing Hate.

We took a very, very small sample of eyewitness videos

that showed abuse against transgender and gender-nonconforming people.

We searched two words, "tranny fight" and "stud fight."

And those 329 videos were watched and are still being watched

as we sit here in this theater,

a stunning almost 90 million times,

and there are hundreds of thousands of comments with these videos,

egging on to more violence and more hate.

So we started developing a methodology

that took all that unquantified visual evidence

and turned it into data, turning video into data,

and with that tool,

LGBT organizations are now using that data

to fight for rights.

And we take that data and we take it back to Silicon Valley,

and we say to them:

"How is it possible

that these videos are still out there

in a climate of hate

egging on more hate,

summoning more violence,

when you have policies that actually say

you do not allow this kind of content? --

urging them to change their policies.

So I have hope.

I have hope that we can turn more video into more rights and more justice.

Ten billion video views on Snapchat,

per day.

So what if we could turn that Snapchat generation

into effective and safe civic witnesses?

What if they could become the Bukenis of this new generation?

In India, women have already started using Snapchat filters

to protect their identity when they speak out about domestic violence.

[They tortured me at home and never let me go out.]

The truth is, the real truth, the truth that doesn't fit into any TED Talk,

is fighting human rights abuse is hard.

There are no easy solutions for human rights abuse.

And there's not a single piece of technology

that can ever stop the perpetrators.

But for the survivors,

for the victims,

for the marginalized communities,

their stories, their truths, matter.

And that is where justice begins.

Thank you.

(Applause)

How to Evangelize with Food - Duration: 5:34.

(♪ light guitar music ♪)

(Ennie Hickman) I think for Cana and I, about ten years ago, we really felt a specific call

to living life in the ordinary in a way that reached people.

— (Cana) And what gifts has he given us too, you know, just in life,

what are the gifts? How do we love well? And what does that look like?

— So I remember this experience of my son asking me if we could meet our neighbors.

"My teacher said that we need to love our neighbors."

It just struck me so deeply that when we asked this question, Well, who's our neighbor?

Yeah, of course, everybody is our neighbor, but I'm not going to be able to meet everybody

but my actual neighbor neighbors, we can love.

— We can get to know. — We can get to know.

(♪ up-tempo folk music ♪)

In this suburban neighborhood, it was almost impossible.

People into their driveways and shutting the garage doors.

And if a neighbor's to reach out, it's because they want something from you.

—Yeah, when he said those words, "can I meet my neighbor," I just remember thinking like,

"I don't even really want to get to know my neighbors."

— We shut up. We get in the line at the grocery store and we don't say hello to people.

We've forgotten just to say hello, to say hi.

All of a sudden, you're in a conversation and then you say,

"You know what? We've got this dinner that we have every Friday night.

I know this is crazy, but you have kids and we've got kids

and man, it would just be great to come over

(♪ up-tempo folk music ♪)

It started on Wednesday nights and they intentionally were "we will be out there"

Come and join us — five o'clock. We'll be out there

and you can stay as long as you want and it sort of freaks people out at times

because they're like, "Wait. No, wait. Anytime?" — "What time again?" (laughing)

— "I can stay— what do I bring"?

Bring something to share.

So around five o'clock, people will just start walking in.

We will pray before the meal — that's the only clue that we're Christian or Catholic

is that we're praying and then from there, people come and go as as they wish.

— Our neighbors are invited.

I think most of them on this block know that they're invited every single week.

— They used to think we sold Amway. — Yeah! (laughing)

— We were like, "Come down, come play, come have a meal with us,"

And they're like, "What are you selling?"

I mean literally because it's just strange. We don't do this in our society.

(♪ up-tempo folk music ♪)

(Ennie) This place was all grass P.S. and (laughs) just the neighbors that would come

and the folks that would come back here, we literally (together) destroyed the grass.

I mean that's how many people were looking for a home, looking for a place to call their own

— Yeah, we just want to share a life with people because life is really beautiful

and it can be really beautiful and I think the beauty of life is revealed more in communion with others too, you know?

So, I will say that almost on a weekly basis, I'm like, "Why? Why are we doing this again? This is crazy."

Without fail, regardless of how much anxiety I might have before the night starts, there is always fruit.

I always am, "I'm so glad we did that. Thank you for reminding me that this is worth it."

— It makes us better because we are loving in a way that that is self-sacrificial,

from people meeting here and getting married, to out-of-towners who need a place to find a community,

to folks of other religions that have come and joined us and now have become Catholic,

the stories are endless and really, in a beautiful way, we are not producing that.

God is.

We're just sort of opening up the floor for God to do what he's gonna do through us

and as long as we're intentionally loving everybody who comes in here and they feel welcomed

and they feel like we're for them, I think that God has really worked through this.

And so, I don't know where we mistook or what turn we took in the Church

where evangelization meant that we were just proclaiming truth.

If I just say it more or say it differently with a different spin or tell a funnier story—

— Louder. — but some, louder, yeah, or with more signs.

The Pope says it great, that the Church grows not by proselytizing but by attraction.

It really is. There's no better school of evangelization than actually meeting people who are not like you.

We drive past people who are not like us to go to a place

to hear about a guy who reached people who were not like him

and who wanted nothing to do with him.

And I feel like we take on the image of Christ

when we go out of our way to meet people who are not exactly like us, you know?

And so, I truly believe that if there was a dinner on every block in the United States, we'd transform culture.

How Many U.S. Wars Equal the One in Afghanistan? | NYT - Duration: 3:01.

"Good afternoon.

On my orders, the United States military has begun strikes

against Al Qaeda terrorist training camps

and military installations of the Taliban

regime in Afghanistan."

That was the start of the U.S. war in Afghanistan.

"We need the freedom to operate on the ground and in the air."

It's now America's longest war — almost 6,000 days long, in fact.

Yet few battles or notable events from Afghanistan

have taken root in America's collective memory.

And that means fewer signposts to mark

the long passage of time.

But if we look at how long it took to reach

seminal moments in other wars,

it might bring America's 16-plus-year presence in Afghanistan

into clear view.

We'll start with the Battle of Gettysburg.

This bar represents the number of days the U.S. has

been fighting in Afghanistan.

The fighting at Gettysburg began 811 days into the Civil War.

Many consider this the most important battle

of the conflict.

And it took place after half the war was fought.

Now apply it to Afghanistan time.

It would bring us to just Dec. 27, 2003.

There were about 13,000 American troops in Afghanistan back then.

That number would eventually peak at 100,000.

"In England, General Dwight D. Eisenhower and his deputy commanders

chart the liberation of a lost continent."

Then there's the Allied D-Day invasion at Normandy.

One of the most iconic moments of World War II.

The culmination of extensive planning in years

of fighting in Northern Africa, Italy and elsewhere.

That invasion began 913 days after America entered the war.

In Afghanistan time,

that brings us to just April 4, 2004.

Hamid Karzai hadn't even been elected as president

of Afghanistan yet.

And when World War II neared its end

with the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, that

came after 1,339 days of battle. In Afghanistan time,

that would reach to June 2005.

Not even a quarter of the way through.

Vietnam was America's second-longest war.

And the final pivotal moment was the fall

of Saigon in April 1975. That occurred 3,706 days

after U.S. Marines landed in Da Nang in 1965.

And in a final comparison to Afghanistan time,

that would bring us to Nov. 30, 2011.

Osama bin Laden was killed about six months earlier.

And President Obama had already announced plans

to completely withdraw U.S. troops.

He would later reverse that decision.

The Obama and Trump administrations

would unveil new strategies – continuing the fight, which

goes on to this day.

Asian Sizes to US/European: Clothing Size Chart for Dropshipping! (2018) - Duration: 3:29.

[Asian Sizes to US/European: Clothing Size Chart for Dropshipping!]

Alright, so if you're an ecommerce dropshipper in the fashion niche, and your suppliers are

from China, you may have noticed a little problem.

Asian sizes are VERY different from US Sizes.

Hey, what's up world, Tommy Walker with Oberlo and today, we're going to talk about

converting Asian fashion sizes to US sizes.

If you have any questions, or want to share your experiences, drop them in the comments

below, and I'll be sure to answer them

Like I said before, I'm your host, Tommy Walker, and if you like what we're talking

about here, consider subscribing, so you can get new videos every week.

Now, as a dropshipper, having sizes that are too small for your customers could have a

disastrous impact on your business.

Uh… hi.

I ordered the wrong size on your website, can I get a refund?

It's extremely important that you're up-front on your website about how the Asian sizes

convert to US sizes or the sizing that's local to whatever market you're selling

in in order to minimize size-related returns.

So how can you get this information?

1.

You can talk to your supplier.

Each supplier you work with may have different size charts.

Some products may have a tight fit while others have a looser fit.

If you want to speed up the process, you can ask them for their Asian to American size

chart and add that image to those suppliers' products on your website if you sell exclusively

to the United States.

If for some reason a supplier doesn't respond or is unable to provide you with a size chart,

you'll need to stick to a standard Asian to US size chart.

Unfortunately, this size chart may not be completely accurate, but it's a start.

Check out the links in the description to download the standardized chart for yourself.

2.

Use supplier's measurements to create your own size chart

Here's the tricky thing about numbers, they're hard to visualize.

So while some suppliers will give you the product measurements without a size chart.

And Other suppliers will offer a size chart with their definitions of each size...

Unless you're a tailor or seamstress who sees what these measurements look like regularly,

it can be difficult to translate those measurements to standard US "Small" "Medium" and

"Large" sizes for your own brand.

While it does mean a bit more work and investment for you, it's a smart idea to order at least

one size of each of the products you're selling, and style them on an adjustable male

or female form that is set to the different measurements the supplier has provided.

That way, you'll know for certain that your supplier's definition of sizes translate

to your own, an XL is your Large, for example, and you'll have a basic understanding of

how the clothing might look on a customer, which can save you a lot on customer service,

returns, and exchanges in the future.

Also just because you have these sizes on-hand, doesn't mean you can't sell them.

In fact, depending on how far along your fashion business is, it may be worth using these pieces

for your own photoshoots.

If you're a dropshipper that does this, or something like it, we'd love to hear

your experience about how this has worked for you in the comments section!

3.

Make your size charts clear for each audience you service

This is more a pretty general rule of thumb for any fashion ecommerce website, but make

the size information easily accessible on the page for your visitor.

Like I mentioned earlier in the video, a significant portion of consumers end up returning clothing

because it is often the wrong size, and an even larger portion of ecommerce sites don't

make their size guide incredibly visible.

Even on this very large multi-million dollar brand's website, the link to the sizing

chart doesn't really stand out.

If you're selling in international markets, like Europe, you'll want to make sure you're

converting to that market's sizing as well, however, don't feel the need to go overboard

and make conversions for every country in the world!

If you want to make all of this even easier on your customers, there are size finder apps

that you can download from the Shopify App store that will make size recommendations

for your customer based on their height, weight age and body type.

Apps like these have been known to increase sales, reduce returns, and encourage repeat

Adjective Clauses: Test Your Knowledge of English Grammar with Jennifer - Duration: 11:04.

Hi everyone. It's Jennifer. I hope you've watched the previous lessons on adjective clauses and adjective phrases

because in this video, I'm going to test your knowledge. Are you ready?

Let's start. Here's your first question.

What relative pronoun do we use to refer to people and only people?

The answer is WHO?

WHOM is also possible in a formal reference and only if we're using the relative pronoun as an object.

Note that the relative pronoun WHOSE can also refer to people, but WHOSE is possessive.

We can also use it sometimes to refer to animals

Two. What relative pronoun can refer to either a person or a thing?

The answer is THAT.

Three. When we form adjective clauses to refer back to a time, a place, and a reason,

what words do we use?

We can use WHEN, WHERE, and WHY to form adjective clauses.

Some people call adjective clauses relative clauses.

And some grammar books call WHEN, WHERE, and WHY relative adverbs.

In any case, you should know that these words help us form adjective clauses,

and these adjective clauses refer back to a noun in the main clause.

Question 4. Does the adjective clause come before or after the head noun, meaning the noun it modifies?

Does position matter?

An adjective clause always comes after. Usually it immediately follows the head noun.

Question 5. Do we always need commas to set off adjective clauses?

In other words, do we need punctuation to separate an adjective clause from the main clause?

No. Commas are not always needed. We only use commas to set off non-essential information.

we do not need commas when we need the information of an adjective clause to identify the head noun.

Six. Does an adjective clause always come at the end of a sentence?

No. Often it does come at the end because it follows the head noun in the main clause.

Sometimes a short adjective clause has a middle position in the sentence.

Seven. Can an adjective clause stand alone as a sentence?

No in standard grammar we combine an adjective clause with an independent clause to create a complex sentence.

Eight. Can all adjective clauses reduce to adjective phrases?

No. When we reduce an adjective clause, the relative pronoun must be WHO, WHICH, or THAT and

the relative pronoun must be the subject of the clause.

Nine. This isn't a question, but a task. I want you to form adjective clauses.

You'll create a total of five complex sentences

Let's go over the answers.

Here's a bonus question. Is there any relative pronoun we can omit?

Ten. I'd like you to reduce these three adjective clauses.

Let's go over the answers.

Are you ready for more of a challenge? I'd like you to spot the mistakes in the next four examples.

The problem is the position of the adjective clause.

It should follow the head noun as closely as possible.

Too much separation creates confusion.

Here's one way to correct the sentence.

The problem is the use of two pronouns in the adjective clause.

We already have the relative pronoun, so there's no need for "they." Here's the correct wording.

The problem is using the preposition IN with WHERE.

This adjective clause only needs WHERE.

Since this adjective clause refers back to a place with the meaning of THERE or "in that place,"

we could either use WHERE or a preposition of location plus WHICH.

In which.

I'd say: The kitchen is one of the rooms where Jennifer has filmed.

The problem is using "this fact."

It becomes confusing to identify the subject of the adjective clause.

We can use "a fact which" to refer back to the main clause.

The sentence should read:

What You Don't Know About Costco's $1 Hot Dogs - Duration: 3:37.

Chances are that if you've ever set foot inside a Costco you've had the famous $1.50 hot dog

and soda combo.

We've all been stuffing our faces with this insanely affordable, All-American meal deal

for decades, but you probably do so without much consideration.

Here are a few little-known facts about the simple and iconic food court staple.

It started with a cart

It might be hard to believe, but Costco's now booming food court business got started

back in 1984 with a single hot dog cart.

Hebrew National, their hot dog supplier at the time, provided the cart in front of a

San Diego warehouse for their first food service trials.

Things went very well: Costco now sells more than 100 million $1.50 hot dogs a year.

In 2015 that number hit a staggering 128 million, which is said to be four times more hot dogs

than what's sold in all the major league baseball stadiums combined.

"Get your hot dogs while you can!

Life is short, we could die at any minute, who wants a hot dog?"

The price has never changed

You won't hear any wistful reminiscing about the good ol' days when it comes to the price

of the hot dog combo.

Shockingly, the price has remained $1.50 since 1985.

This isn't an oversight by management — Costco bigwigs say they see the food court "as a

benefit that adds demonstrable value to membership."

"The typical retailer might look at this hot dog and say, 'Gee, I'm charging five bucks

for this.

I wonder if I could get five and a quarter for it?'

We look at it and say, 'It's a buck-fifty.

Is there any way we could reduce the price?'"

A better deal than ever

Typically, when the price of a food stays the same for decades, you expect to see a

decrease in size to compensate.

But that's not the case with the Costco dog plus soda meal.

In fact, it's gotten bigger.

When the combo first debuted, $1.50 got you a 12-ounce can of soda and a quarter pound

dog.

Today, you get a 20-ounce soda with free refills and a dog that's 10 percent bigger and longer.

"Well, I maxed the size of my hot dog.

Why have a foot long when you can have a yard long?"

They leveled up the dogs

In a move that angered a legion of Hebrew National fans, Costco stopped offering the

kosher dogs and made the switch to sell their own Kirkland brand hot dogs in their food

courts in 2009 — but it wasn't entirely their decision.

The new hot dog was developed after their suppliers either quit or were closed down,

and the result is the 10 percent bigger all-beef dog we've all come to know and love today.

Surprisingly healthy

We already know that the Kirkland hot dogs are 100 percent beef, but after years of hearing

horror stories about sketchy ingredients in wieners, it's somewhat surprising to learn

that they contain no by-products, corn syrup, phosphates, fillers, artificial color or artificial

flavors.

Wondering how they stack up against other fast food dogs?

Burger King's flame-grilled hot dogs have 60 fewer calories and 15 fewer grams of fat,

but contain corn syrup and phosphates, and cost 50 cents more, no drink included.

They're a loss leader

Costco realizes they aren't making money on their popular combo meal, and they're totally

fine with that.

The hot dogs are a loss leader, meaning that they attract customers with the promise of

a dirt cheap lunch, who in turn go and spend hundreds on gigantic jars of pickles and reasonably

priced electronics.

At the end of the day, Costco is coming out way ahead.

How to Live Longer - My Stem Cell & Ozone Treatments - Duration: 1:49.

My name is Ron and I'm in my eighth decade of life.

This is my story of how to live longer.

I'm here at AMA because they offer a number of longevity services,

including stem cell therapy and ozone therapy,

that I believe are very important to my long term health.

I also, for longevity purposes, they have a focus on two things

that after my own research I believe very strongly in and are how to live longer.

These treatments are stem cell therapy and ozone therapy.

The combination of stem cell therapy and ozone therapy will help me reach my goal which is 100 years old.

I think the main measurement would be my overall energy level is very high.

I feel good all the time.

When I tell people I am in my eighth decade of life there is a large amount of disbelief when I say that.

I've also had some issues with skin cancer and they are also able to help me through their laser treatments.

They are able to help me non-surgically to get rid of the skin cancer that I have.

I also get great service and they are very accommodating of my hours

so I can get the work done that I need to get done.

The people at AMA are warm and friendly and very informative at all times.

Stem cells and ozone therapy are my secrets of how to live longer.

What YouTube's Changes REALLY Mean for Small Channels (Post Logan Paul Controversy) - Duration: 11:03.

So YouTube just changed their monetization policy for creators…

And obviously this threw the entire community into disarray.

You had people who were arguing that this change was good, and others who were arguing

this change was bad.

Hint: I'm not a fan of the change, and there's a deeper reason why.

But before diving into that reasoning, let's explain the side of the argument that people

use who are for the change.

Keep in mind the things in this video are based on my own experiences on the platform.

For new viewers to the channel, I'm SwankyBox - I cover gaming mysteries, lore, and nostalgia.

However, I'm super passionate about YouTube as a platform and have studied it extensively.

I hardcore nerd out when people start talking about YouTube because I'm fascinated by

its inner workings and how it all ticks.

Besides creating on YouTube, I speak around the country about YouTube, pursuing your creative

passions, and storytelling in games.

I've consulted for both creators and businesses small and large, and overall YouTube has been

quite the amazing journey.

That's partially why I decided to write a book about being a YouTuber.

I digress though.

So when a dramatic change like this occurs, of course I wanted to sink my teeth into it.

I couldn't resist.

So let's rewind back to the initial dilemma.

YouTube changed its policy for monetization from 10,000 total channel views to now 4,000

hours of watch time and 1,000 subscribers.

The reason they did this was because they were looking for a way to fix illegitimate

monetization on the platform through stolen videos.

There are other reasons as well, but a big factor was that you could steal videos, monetize

them, and then make off with the goods before your account got closed.

This change affects tons of creators who were playing by the rules.

Lots of people will lose their monetization perks come February 20th and this caused an

uproar in the community.

However, people were divided.

In terms of people being for the change, people would argue the following points.

Majority of these people had stood the test of time on YouTube and were established, larger

creators.

The first rebuttal was that people shouldn't be focusing on the money when creating.

If you're worried about losing out on potentially $100, or the amount you'd probably earn

on your way to monetization, then you're creating for the wrong reasons.

And they're right.

I absolutely agree with that because that shouldn't be your immediate goal and why

you started.

However, there's a stipulation with this which I'll get to later.

Majority of these creators explained that they created for years before YouTube actually

rolled out monetization, or before they were partnered and began running ads.

From their own experiences, they were able to achieve where they are despite not having

monetization rolled out.

Many larger creators offered sincere advice to creators who were starting out or struggling

with the new changes, and this was of course very helpful to hear.

However, this is only the surface level of the issue.

The problem with this approach is that it does not address the actual issues it potentially

causes.

In terms of eliminating problem channels though, it does solve that pain point for YouTube.

A lot of people were angry, myself included, because of the Logan Paul incident as well.

These monetization changes were in the works before Logan Paul face planted, but they were

certainly held off on because of it.

This is why creators who had reached the 10,000 view goal, myself included on my second channel,

were sitting in limbo for about a month waiting for their review - only to come back and see

that their 10,000 goal had now been multiplied by ten.

Okay, now let's explain why this is a huge issue for small creators.

Certainly do not throw in the towel if you are creating, but hopefully this will shed

some light on the problem.

Let's present the other side of the argument.

Withdrawing smaller channels from monetization, in theory, axes a large percent of their growth

potential.

So the immediate issue is that 4,000 hours of watch time is 240,000 minutes, which is

a huge barrier to overcome as a small creator.

Again, large creators cited their watch time saying that they easily pass this in a month,

but getting over that hump is painfully difficult when you have a limited audience.

Beyond that, growing in a vacuum -without a shoutout boosting you - has become even

more difficult.

If the 10,000 views from the original rules was in play, and you received on average 5

minutes of viewership per view (which is extremely high by the way), that's only 833 hours.

You aren't even 1/4th of the way there.

Beyond that, your audience retention will probably be much less than that.

Some views may be 20 seconds, some a minute.

That means that 833 hours is an overestimate by a long shot.

So now you probably need around 75,000 views or so to hit that watch time threshold.

And you have to achieve that in 12 months or you'll begin losing progress…

You may be thinking, "But why focus on the monetization so intently Swanky?

You just said that shouldn't be the goal."

It's not.

But monetization opens you up to your content being further recommended to people.

Most YouTubers gain their bulk of their viewership by their videos being recommended to others.

YouTube predicts videos to suggest based off their interests, demographics, and previous

watch history.

Now YouTube has come out and said that these monetization changes won't change video

discovery.

That monetization doesn't affect discovery in general.

And I think that's untrue.

I know it probably seems weird to challenge the voice of god, but we have to consider

how all of this works.

Starting off, YouTube has been wrong about their own platform many times.

If they weren't wrong, they wouldn't need to consult some of their biggest creators

for advice on how their own platform actually works.

And that's something that certainly happens.

Also, one person posting something on Twitter is not the voice of god.

When I was writing my book on being a YouTuber, I was directed back and forth between different

departments because the teams within YouTube don't actually talk to one another.

This is normal because this is a huge company we're talking about - but that means miscommunication

happens all the time.

The customer support on Twitter aren't the people who are tweaking the algorithm and

writing the code.

They don't fully know how it works just like we don't.

To some degree, they can't fully know how it works because it would be a gold mine if

someone did.

So they just follow a script and what they are told through the grapevine.

That's why you sometimes get automated and canned responses.

An automated algorithm is a crazy beast.

This is why I challenged their reasoning that monetization doesn't affect discovery.

It has to in some way.

Recommendations takes place when you start accruing a certain amount of watch time on

a video.

They then suggest another video to watch.

Your content can surely be recommended to others unmonetized, but I believe it is at

a lower rate.

I've been studying my small gameplay channel and pet channel to compare results.

But let me explain why I challenge this reasoning.

It all starts with the purchasing of ads.

Ads are bought through Google Adwords for the most part, unless companies are directly

working with YouTube's premium services.

One of the types of ads that can be bought, and one of the more expensive types of ads,

are the pre-roll ads.

These are ads that play immediately when you start a video.

Sometimes you can skip them, and more expensive variants can't be skipped.

This whole process is called PPC in the marketing world.

It stands for pay per click, because your marketing budget gets spent as user activity

takes place.

You get your ad watched or interacted with, you get charged.

Obviously the benefits of the ad outweigh the expenses, but this is where the money

comes from on YouTube.

But a lot of ad campaigns have daily budgets.

They choose to spend x amount of dollars a day, and the more demanding their search category

is, the more expensive it can be to compete for ad space.

But this is why I believe video recommendations on YouTube do rely on ad input.

If there are unspent ad dollars at the end of a day-to-day budgeted campaign, that money

is lost for Google.

Say you were spending 10 dollars total per day and that was your max limit.

If YouTube only fulfills 5 of those 10 dollars, 5 dollars are lost to YouTube when they could

have made that 5 dollars if they simply were able to serve up the ads on appropriate videos.

But YouTube only has a set amount of time to do this in a day…

So which makes more sense from a business perspective: Recommend videos with monetization

off where there is no business gain for YouTube, or recommend monetized content that is their

only way of spending pre-roll ad slots?

YouTube wants to make money…

And supporting the video platform as a whole is expensive.

I think the choice is obvious.

If you had two successful videos that are killing it in watch time and retention rates,

but one can be used to run premium ads and one does nothing, I'd imagine YouTube is

going to put the monetized in favor.

It'd be a weird business decision otherwise.

So that means if you don't have monetization enabled, in theory, you're not operating

on the same system as a monetized channel.

This is why it is a huge problem for small creators.

The barrier to entry just became a mile high wall, and no one is actually talking about

the deep problem it causes.

I understand why YouTube wants to screen creators to make sure they are ad friendly, but I just

feel this goal is brutal.

While writing my book I spent around 6 months studying a brand new channel I created with

my significant other that had no outside boost from others.

It was grown in a bubble and didn't have access to my larger audience on this channel

at all.

No one SwankyBox-related even knew about it.

And I used that to really assess the struggle that new channels have.

The struggle that large creators simply don't understand anymore because everything has

changed about the platform since they were small.

Their advice is genuine and from the heart, but it is sort of blind advice because they

aren't actually considering what it is like to be a small channel in this moment.

A channel that has no outlets for help, no chance of getting shouted out, and has to

forge their own path the hard way.

And to clear something else up: Demonetization is not the same as having monetization off.

If your YouTube channel had stats for exposure like in a RPG, monetization would give you

a +1 modifier, no monetization would have you at 0, and demonetization would be -1.

You can still function without monetization, but if you're demonetized your videos are

avoided like the plague.

You can still get your videos recommended on your own channel from existing videos,

but it is going to severely limit your chances - if not completely - of popping up elsewhere.

You can still be discovered in search in terms of being demonetized, but kiss everything

else goodbye.

I'm hoping I didn't miss anything in this video.

If I did, you'll see it in a pinned comment below.

Things like this are why I decided I needed to write a book for the next generation of

content creators.

Sorta like passing off the torch in some regards.

I remember stumbling through YouTube trying to figure out how to grow when all of it seemed

hopeless.

There was hope, but with no sense of direction, I didn't know how to reach it.

And I had no one I could ask for help.

It can be super scary because of that.

This book is the book I wish I had when I started.

It's literally everything I learned about YouTube, being a YouTuber, and using YouTube

as a platform for pursuing a creative career.

If you thought what was discussed in this video was insightful, I recommend checking

out the book.

I have a few sample chapters on my website too that you can dive into.

It's designed to give you insight into every aspect of being a YouTuber, and provide you

the answers to the questions you've been wanting to ask but have never had the chance

to.

Plus, you'll get to hear from a bunch of other awesome creators.

YouTube is a hell of a journey, and I strongly hope you'll consider giving it a whirl.

I hope this book can help you get there too, because that would mean the world to me.

It comes out February 12th of 2018, and you can find more information in the description

below.

And with that…

Thanks for tuning in to this YouTube breakdown!

Please share your thoughts in the comments below, because this is certainly a topic open

for discussion.

All sides of the argument are important, so let's have an open conversation about it!

Anyways, thanks for watching guys and gals, and until my next video - cheers!

The Atheist State of the Union 2018 - Duration: 9:17.

After the four horsemen of atheism each released best-sellers skewering religious beliefs post-9/11,

the movement gave birth to a wave of secular internet activists.

2008-2012 was a golden age for the New Atheists.

YouTubers like Aron Ra, Thunderf00t, Peach Braxton, DPRJones, Seth Andrews, Christina

Rad, potholer54, and darkmatter2525 came together to fight against creationist propaganda.

The religious fundamentalism of the Bush Administration had left a deep footprint and needed to be

countered.

Nothing else mattered.

Bloggers, podcasters, and YouTubers across the movement joined forces to promote science

and encourage skepticism of religious claims.

And it worked.

Atheism and scientific skepticism were on the rise.

Closeted non-believers were publicly coming out as atheists all across America – normalizing

the word atheism and challenging religious friends and family members to re-think their

dogma.

The 2012 reason rally boasted 20-30 thousand attendees, including celebrities, scientists,

and politicians.

They had a taste of victory, but then, the movement split.

Dividing over feminism, social justice, political correctness, and a host of other smaller issues,

the movement did what religious organizations have done for centuries.

It splintered.

Prominent atheist activists turned their cannons on their own ships – others fired back.

For one reason or another, dozens of science-loving atheist (Peach Braxton, Christina Radd, 43

Alley) YouTubers and bloggers dropped out of the scene completely, laid down their ideological

weapons against religious fundamentalism, stopped attending conferences and stopped

creating content.

Others shifted their focus from religious fundamentalism to other topics.

The movement struggled onward but had lost much of its vitality.

Attendance at conferences started to drop, and the 2016 Reason Rally put forth an utterly

underwhelming turnout.

The religious zealots who up till this point had been consistently losing ground, seized

upon the opportunity and pushed back with a vengeance, electing a religious puppet as

president and a young earth creationist as VP.

The presidential cabinet was stuffed with religious, science-denying fundamentalists.

Climate change deniers with no background in science became the secretary of energy

and head of the EPA.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development believes the pyramids were built by Jewish

slaves to store grain, and our secretary of education think dinosaurs lived with humans

and wants creationism taught in public school rooms.

And the list goes on.

In 2017 Trump announced that he would attempt to repeal the Johnson amendment which would

allow powerful, tax-exempt religious organizations to endorse political candidates for public

office and allow political campaign donors to funnel undisclosed tax-free campaign donations

through religious institutions.

Giving large churches unparalleled political power.

But the swing-set of ideological power is on the verge of shifting again, and we're

giving it a push.

I realized at the start of the year that if I was going to make an impact, I needed to

get a finger of the pulse of the movement.

I needed to network, and I needed to do it fast.

So I spent all summer doing the conference circuit, attending six atheist conferences

in the US and Canada in addition to various local secular meetups like Oasis, Secular

Hub, Skeptics in the Pub, etc. as well as speaking at several local atheist groups,

and was even elected to the board of the Atheist Community of Tulsa.

All this allowed me to meet everyone from Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins to conference

organizers, atheist bloggers, podcasters, and youtubers.

I had the privilege of interviewing the legendary magician James Randi on the importance of

skepticism, as well as Seth Andrews host of the largest atheist podcast, science communicator

Cara Santa Maria, and many other secular activists.

And I realized that while the religious organizations we're up against are daunting, this movement

is passionate and it's growing - rapidly.

By the end of the summer, I'd put together the largest list of atheist podcasts ever

created, not just to help you find something to listen to, but to help myself and others

in the movement network and collaborate more efficiently.

There are over 200!

In a few short months, I was featured in over a dozen of them.

In searching for local atheist groups across the US, I realized two things.

1.

There are a lot of local secular groups, with new ones popping every week, and 2.

how incredibly scattered the various tools were for finding them.

So I compiled these resources in one place on holykoolaid.com to help other atheists

find a local group, join together, and get plugged into their local secular communities.

2017 was a huge year.

Not just for me, although I did register Holy Koolaid as an official LLC, garner over 2.5

million views, and am pushing 35,000 subscribers.

But an entire new generation of atheist YouTubers sprung up out of nowhere in barely a year's

time.

Creators like Rationality Rules, Rachel Oates, Cosmic Skeptic, Godless Cranium, GM Skeptic,

Professor Stick and so many other excellent channels.

And these are creators who really care about the movement.

Who willingly help each other out rather than backstabbing their own and causing drama just

to generate more views.

I did several collaborations with YouTubers like Cosmic Skeptic and Rationality Rules

before I decided to put together and lead a group of nearly 50 dedicated atheist and

skeptic YouTubers – we joined forces to fight religious fundamentalism, counter pseudoscience,

and foster a community of encouragement and collaboration.

This has led to countless video collabs and growth across the board for everyone serious

about making regular quality content, and fighting the fight - creators who are dead

set on improving their work and spreading their message.

Unfortunately, in 2017, YouTube began massively demonetizing anything and everything they

deemed controversial in what became known as the adpocalypse, and every atheist channel

was hit by it, myself included.

Many youtubers, including Kyle Kulensky, Logicked, myself, David Packman, and others reached

out to their audience for support via Patreon.

And you guys stepped up.

Without your support, I could not have continued full time through the end of the year.

YouTube's next big change was to shadow-ban controversial channels limiting our exposure

to a fraction of our former reach, regardless of subscriber count.

As a result of this decreased exposure, many of us began losing Patrons faster than we

were gaining them, finding ourselves back where we were a few months earlier.

But I wasn't about to take this lying down.

To counter the change, I set up a merchandise store and a community email newsletter, to

help you get plugged into the atheist community and help me stay connected with you (you can

sign up for it via the link in the comments below).

I also began uploading some of my videos directly to Facebook to increase exposure.

I then created the science-loving skeptics Facebook community which is pushing 5,000

members for you to connect with likeminded well, science-loving skeptics.

Now, I'm not going to lie.

Finances are still pretty tight for most of us.

We're not nearly as well funded as the multibillion-dollar religious goliaths.

I do pour almost every penny I earn back into my work, and I know I'm not the only creator

who does that.

What we lack in numbers we make up for in passion & dedication.

Whether it's a podcaster, YouTuber, blogger, or author, we rely on you our fans for our

voice to be heard and for our message to spread.

We rely on you to like and share our content.

We rely on you to leave positive reviews on iTunes or stitcher if you like our podcasts.

And we rely on you to support our shows financially if you can.

Now as tight as my funds are, I hate being the guy to ask for support, so instead, I've

put some links in the description of this video to a list of atheist podcasters & YouTubers.

Find your favorite one.

If my show or any of the ones listed have been able to help you in any way - if you

appreciate the time, energy, and effort that it takes for us to consistently creating quality

content.

And if you want to be a part of the fight to make our insane world a tad more rational.

Don't take the religious nut-baggery lying down.

Pledge $5/months.

That's it.

If you can't afford that.

Share our content.

Not just once.

Every video or podcast that you enjoy.

Now for the future.

If it seems like a lot happened this last year, we're just getting started.

2017 was a huge year and represented a major shift in the atheist movement.

We're on the verge of a massive wave of change and growth in the secular community.

We're coming together after years of pointless division.

It's time to cut the crap and get back to basics.

I'm not interested in arguing with other atheists over non-related issues.

We have to come together if we want to effect change.

And this last year, we've been doing just that.

To everyone who's joined me on this journey so far, who's believed in my cause, and

supported my work - Thank you.

And remember to dare to be curious and don't drink the koolaid!

Puff Pastry Tarts Two Ways | Pasta Sfoglia Salata (due ricette) - Duration: 4:59.

Hi everyone! In today's video, i'm going to show you how to prepare two different

savory puff pastry tarts. These puff pastry tarts are super simple to make,

light and delicious and perfect for a Sunday brunch,

an easy lunch or a light dinner and they can also be a great addition to your

Valentine's Day dinner menu and will surely impress your loved one.

For my first puff pastry tart, i'm going to use: 1 medium sized fresh beetroot; fresh goat

cheese, room temperature; sour cream; fresh chives, thinly sliced;

salt and pepper to taste; egg wash. Pre-heat your oven to 200 C (400° F)

Peel the beetroot and slice into thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.

Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter cut beet slices into heart shapes. Set aside.

In a small bowl combine goat cheese, sour cream, chives, salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer your puff pastry sheet to a parchment lined baking sheet and

and prick all over with a fork, leaving a 2 cm border around the dough.

Spread goat cheese mixture over making sure you don't go over the pricked border.

Arrange beat hearts over the cheese filling and brush the edge of the tart with the egg wash.

Bake until pastry is puffed and golden, 10-15 minutes.

Let it cool slightly then garnish with additional chives and a drizzle of olive

oil, if desired.

Serve immediately.

For my second tart, i'm going to use multi colored cherry or grape tomatoes

halved; cream cheese, room-temperature; finely chopped basil leaves; salt and

peper to taste; egg wash.

In a small bowl combine cream cheese,

chopped basil, salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer your puff pastry sheet to a parchment lined baking sheet and prick

all over with the fork, leaving a 2 centimeters border around the dough.

Spread cream cheese over making sure you don't go over the pricked border.

Arrange tomato halves on top with their cut sides down in a decorative pattern.

Brush the edge of the tart with the egg wash and bake in the preheated oven for

10 -15 minutes or until puffy and golden.

You can serve these puff pastry tarts by themselves or along with a simple green salad.

There is no better way to enjoy tomatoes and beetroot then pairing them

with a delicious cream cheese filling, fresh herbs and a buttery golden puff

pastry crust. Thank you for watching I hope you enjoyed the video please leave

the good side - troye sivan (cover) | tiffany fang - Duration: 3:40.

I got the good side of things Left you with both of the rings

My fingers danced and swayed in the breeze The change in the wind took you down to your knees

I got the good side of you

Send it out into the blue The people danced to the sound of your heart

The world sang along to it falling apart

But I sympathize And I recognize

And baby, I apologize That I got the good side

The good side of things

I got the good side of life Travelled the universe twice

So many thoughts I wanted to share But I didn't call cause it wouldn't be fair

Then I got the good side of new Found arms to fall right into

I know how it looked, it wasn't the plan And some day I hope that you'll understand

That I sympathize And I recognize

And baby, I apologize That I got the good side

The good side of things

I'm sure we'll meet in the spring And catch up on everything

I'll say I'm proud of all that you've done You taught me the ropes, and you taught me

to love

But I sympathize And I recognize

And baby, I apologize That I got the good side

The good side of things
