Sup you beautiful bastards
Hope you're having a fantastic friday.
Welcome back to the Friday show!
The show I am so excited to bring back.
If you're new here, Monday through Thursday
I like to talk about the news, the world, everything.
And then Friday, I like to dedicate to the conversation with you:
looking at your comments, responding to some of them. It's a good time.
*Usually
So with that said lets jump into the Monday's show.
Monday, we talked about YouTube Ads, Pepe the frog died. Rest in peace.
The Florida child porn conviction and controversy
Fake news going viral and an update on the DO5 situation.
So if you care about the behind the scenes this will be interesting
If not, you should probably just skip a minute ahead.
For those that don't know, Youtube Red is a subscription service
available here on youtube
To find it, you go to Youtube.com/red.
If you sign up, you get a month free trial
And then after that it's $9.99 a month.
You don't get ads on Youtube,
you can have background play if you just want to listen to the audio
and if you want to download a video you can.
and then you can watch it offline.
And the side benefit, although it's more for creators out there
is that even though there's not an ad played on a video
they actually get paid.
So how do creators get paid with YouTube Red?
Well its based on who you, a YouTube Red user, watch[es]
And the big thing here is that it's based on minutes.
So it doesn't matter about the number of videos a person watches, it just matters how long they are watching you.
So for example: let's say you watch my channel and another channel where they put up like an hour long video podcast.
My videos on average these days are 12 minutes so you watch five of those.
Boom, 60 minutes.
Once a week, this podcast channel, they upload a one hour long video:
Boom, 60 minutes.
Even though they only uploaded one video and I uploaded five,
we are watch time equals.
Which means if you only watched our channels, we are splitting the money that comes from your YouTube Red subscription, equally.
And in this scenario, you are watching the videos from beginning to end completely.
You're not stopping in between.
Cause it doesn't matter how long the videos is, it matters how long you watched it.
So unlike regular ads which really promote:
"put out as much content as possible. It can be short, it doesn't matter."
The creators that will benefit the most are creators who make long form content on YouTube.
At least as far as YouTube Red's concerned.
Also another fantastic new way tha-that YouTubers can make money on YouTube is Super Chat.
I talked about Super Chat when YouTube first launched it.
But now you actually have creators like PewDiePie, Felix, using it during live streams and making a ton of money.
Instead of your normal live stream donations, what you have is
someone typing out a comment saying:
"uhh, I wanna put $5, $10..." I've seen $100+.
And that comment stands out and gets pinned up near the top.
So that's a new way. Also to other creators, I highly recommend you make money off of YouTube.
When it comes to merchandise, there are a ton of options.
I personally use and always recommend teespring.
Everything they make is always based off of preorders.
So there's no risk, you couldn't lose money.
Also [if] you're talking about non-advertiser friendly things or you'r---you're being deemed more and more non-advertiser friendly,
I highly recommend people look into Patreon.
I personally believe that people that consume media are becoming more savvy than ever
to the business side of everything because more and more people are becoming involved in the business side
that, more people are more comfortable with actually paying money for their content.
Especially if it's not mandatory
Because when it becomes mandatory where you're like: "I'm not posting these videos unless you pay me."
it-it feels a little bit like...uhh...
Entertainment extortion, I know that's kind of like an extreme way to describe it...
But that's how some people will see it.
And while I do agree, and I even in that same video is very happy that she said that...
A lot of people also did point out that she said that
and then announced shows with Kevin Hart, Katy Perry, a bunch of other famous people.
And I'm not shitting on Kevin Hart, I love Kevin Hart.
But what she said about YouTube being about texture and not polished and then-then saying
"Look at these big polished shows with famous celebrities!"
I acknowledge that those things don't seem to match up.
But I also believe that YouTube is such a big space
that I think there is room for both.
And ultimately it kind of doesn't matter what decision YouTube makes.
The audience, the-the community here on Youtube, the people that use the website, they are the ones that decide.
Maybe not who gets funding, maybe not who gets promoted but on what is popular
legitimately popular not "we're gonna fluff the numbers to make things look successful." It's the people.
One: I totally get what you're saying and I agree with you.
No one is...no one is owed.
"I am not automatically deserving of the highest premium..."
But I think a big part of the concern especially with how videos can be labeled...
I think one of the biggest concerns now is now that we know that YouTube videos are being put into specific non-advertiser friendly categories
One: We as YouTubers don't have access to see what we are being labeled.
And two, while we don't even know if we are being labeled "shocking" the question becomes "well, what is categorized as shocking?"
From my experience a lot of the pre-roll advertising is not usually hyper focused it's a bit of uhh you--you purchase a block.
And so I think the concern for non-Disneyesque YouTubers that are just a little more raw
"Is--is my channel being excluded from advertising before"
Because the advertiser not--might not even realize what they are purchasing into.
At that point because they're trying to keep advertisers safe, it's YouTube making the decision.
They have that right but--90% of the things that YouTubers want from YouTube is always just more communication
and understanding where we actually fit.
And we had the Tuesday show.
Tuesday, we talked about the FCC
John Oliver, Net Neutrality
The elderly woman who was assaulted at a pool party
And the Spirit Airlines airport riot.
Your honor, my client is only 98% guilty.
For me, personally, I say the moment he put his hands on this old woman
I say: Fuck him.
What happens that, whether he slipped because it was an accident, which it does.
It doesn't matter. He made a choice and everything that follows is his fault after that.
Bu then on top of that, after she's smacked into the ground, the fact that he then took her and tossed her into the pool, triple fuck him.
If that was my Grandma, I'd put a knee through his fucking face.
I'm with you a little bit...
I think the problem is, with that many canceled flights and that many more delayed flights
there is no company that is equipped to be able to help people.
Cause that was also a part of the story, there were people in line trying to figure out what they were going to do...how they were gonna get home for hours.
Then other flights got canceled, some people went to the line but then others stormed the counter.
You got a large group of tired, hungry people, jam em together, force em to be next to each other, I'm just--
I'm surprised it didn't go Lord of the Flies 20 minutes earlier.
But I do say this as one: a person that knows how scary just giant groups of people can be
and two: as someone who sometimes gets uhh...
agitated, angry for probably not the most important of reasons
But don't take that as me excusing what people did. I'm jus--I'm not--I'm not surprised.
What?
Well I--I think you mean unthrottled. Bandwidth throttling is the intentional slow down of internet services.
And in my opinion and currently the FCC's opinion, the internet is a utility.
There's already a system in place for throttling speed. Tha-that you have tiers of internet service.
When you're buying your internet, you're deciding how much of the internet...hoes...that are gonna turn on in your house or in your business.
Different speed, different price, when it comes to phones sure there are "unlimited" plans,
But most, if not all at this point, throttle after a certain amount of usage
Others have capped usage.
And because the cost there is on the user, it incentifies as the businesses, the sites out, that are like a Netflix.
They wanna be usable and accessible to the masses. They have to figure out how to get their information to be as tiny as possible to get to you.
But once you change it to where a user maybe has 30MB down(load), 30MB up(load)
But all of a sudden the ISP gets to say "you know what even though you have that internet service, because you're using Netflix who's not gonna pay us
their data is just gonna trickle to you unless you wanna go to our new service which we own or we're friends with
they have the full speed fast lane."
No, to me that's garbage and I think it stifles innovation and I think it stifles small business.
But hey, we can disagree and it's okay.
And then let's talk about Wednesday.
Wednesday, we talked about the Southwest brawl
Why you shouldn't pee on a jellyfish sting
A little #BowWowChallenge
And Trump/Comey news
If you're gonna talk about Chuck Schumer, just say his name.
I do kind of wonder about that...
I-I-for-under Trump, once again, I thought if it happened, it happened-it would happen immediately.
Now because of the timing where you had people talking about the Russian Investigation more and more and more
it just seems sketchy. And under Clinton, I wonder if they would've done it day one.
Or maybe now like Trump, after the 100 days or--if she would've done it at all.
And it's not just about public opinion, you have a congress that is a Republican congress, how would they have reacted? How would they have spun this story?
There would've most likely been a fear from the Clinton camp that they were going to turn that into
"Well something did happen with those emails." I don't know. But it also would make a lot more sense to me if she would have fired him as well.
In general, I always feel like it's a sticky situation where you're talking about hypothetical.
Kat, I think definitely with some, I remember after the Dr. Dao United story there was also a story--I didn't end up covering
cause it just-it felt very much like someone was trying to get attention.
It was a guy who was on this United flight
And he was supposed to be in First Class but they swapped out the plane
So he wasn't gonna be able to have that seat and "OH MY GOD"
They gave him a seat in economy. Reportedly between a married couple that was having an argument.
And they didn't want to sit next to each other and yeah that's inconvenient...
And so that one to me seemed like a grab for attention rather than "oh no..." *laughs* "...poor you."
And I even said this yesterday, I am making fun of him but I would 100% not get in the middle of that.
I was personally making jokes because it looked like he couldn't fully decide if he wanted to stop it and get involved or not.
And so to me, to see that internal conflict just play out on video it was-was-eisafgiefg- *muah* beautiful. (bastards)
And from there, let's jump into the Thursday show
Thursday, we talked about the Russian blogger who was found guilty after playing Pokemon Go in a church
The (I'm using air quotes) "potentially" fake cam model shark attack
And we talked about this d-bag
[Tip] of the hat to you
So I don't want to say he was on drugs, the very least he looks like he was very drunk.
I know and have friends that have gotten that amped up and angry and ready just to throw down
But instead of saying a bunch of hate filled ignorant bullshit about someone because of the color of their skin or who they were
they hated me because I wasn't a Patriots fan. I'm a Jets fan but how angry those guys get, I want the Pats to win.
Agreed.
Well yeah, whether it be of a faith or an organization it's very rarely that people that are just part of the group just--
uhh--"you know we're here cause we have a lot of the same opinions. I just wanna live my life and be happy."
Tho-those people rarely get the spotlight. It's the loud people screaming.
But I also wonder if we'll ever really be able to get to a place where uhwee, it's a generally understood thing
that some are not representative of all.
But then does it become this weird situation where every time someone that fits your description whether it be of an organization
or uhh- a gender or uhh- or a race, or- or whatever.
The main point, someone that has a uhh-- a common trait or characteristic or whatever with you
If they do something horrible or-or embarrassing or just stupid
do-are you obligated to then be like "well not all of us...
...we don't stand by that."
or is it more on the people that are just seeing it to-to understand and-and to be smart enough to go
"That is an individual that did something."
And the best way to see where you are with that is to switch little bits of information around.
Like you Josh, you as a Christian person are saying "this-this person who is saying they are a Christian, they are not representative of me and mine."
And in the United States, I imagine there are a lot of people that will nod their heads yes to that statement.
But let's say the roles are reversed, the crazy drunk guy is actually a Muslim guy.
And he's doing all the same things to a Christian family.
One: imagine the fucking difference in a YouTube comment section.
But then two: in the United States if a Muslim Josh, that as a Muslim, the- what this guy is doing is not what--representative of me and mine,
Would there be as many people nodding their heads.
I mean to me, as someone who is not part of any organized religion, I don't have any faith,
there's a lot of stuff in religion that doesn't make sense to me and I think a lot of people turn a blind eye to the hypocritical thing.
But the big reason I say it, I don't have a problem with religions 99% of the time is because I separate the people that are
part of a faith, with the faith. I think most people just wanna live a happy life.
When people start shouting about their faith like "mine's better than yours and yours..." ugh
There are so many stupid reasons that we as human beings hate one another and I'm not saying "let's have a hate free world."
Alright? That's not what I'm going for, the only kind of hate free world is a world where we don't exist.
We've been wiped out. I'm just saying if we're gonna hate one another, let it be for what we actually do to one another.
That's it.
And that's actually where I'm gonna end today's show.
