Hello, you're looking at a very unusual AvenueX all dressed up
for a special video
if you follow me on community post.
you Know I talked about another copyright strike
that has recently happened to my channel.
人在江湖飘 哪有不挨刀
My Superhero first impression video got taken down by a
copyright holder of this drama's distribution right oversea or on youtube.
I filed counter notification
that video may come back, may not, I don't know,
I haven't done anything that's against YouTube's rule
It's a total fair use thing,
but for every creator who's on youtube for long enough,
we all know this platform's copyright system is completely broken.
PewDiePie got claimed against himself by somebody who claims
that they own his video in the name of him hiring them.
If you check out his last year's video about something on his channel
that got claimed by somebody that he cannot actually get back.
So if a creator of over 100 million (subscribers) can have that problem,
I mean ha ha
what am I supposed to complain about?
as a tiny channel that still hasn't managed to go pass 100k
still though, I think it's necessary taking this as an opportunity to
talk a little bit about my plan for this channel
and basically just chat with my audiences.
while I'm dressed up.
Today I have quite a few items to run through in this video
regarding my channel,
and I have it time coded for your reference.
So let's first talk about
Back up,
say if one day something out of my control destroys my channel
and one day you wake up and realize you can't access AvenueX
here are three places you can go to see my updates.
I will be telling people what is my plan,
what is the progress if there's anything
relating to the news of this channel.
Number one is the backup channel.
A couple of years ago,
i've had a a stream of copyright strike happening to me
at that time, I said i'm gonna set up a backup channel.
I went back to check it.
It's still there.
There is a link in a description box,
so that's the number one place you can go.
Then if you wanna know what is going on with the channel,
if shit happened,
first go to the ko-fi page which I have set up for
years and i've got a lot of lovely patrons there.
I'm not asking you to buy me a coffee right now.
don't Don't do that.
This basically is a way of letting me post things that
can get to people who know about my youtube channel.
So i'll leave a link to my coffee or ko-fi
I still don't know what's official way of pronouncing it.
I would be posting there and you'll be able to see what is going on
as a third place to have certain updates if shit happens,
which basically functions, similarly as the kofi page
will be my website.
avenuex.ca
if you click into that website,
you'll see the navigation bar and you'll be able to find,
i've added a new navigation tab, a new page,
just called YT UPDATES
If you click into it,
it would just be a blank page that has a few words there.
And worst case scenario,
one day you'll click into that page.
and you're gonna find shit happened.
Here is what i'm gonna do.
I hope I never resolve to any of these three ways.
My backup channel, coffee/ko-fi page or my website page.
I'll leave all the links in the description box.
You can just copy.
And if you really care about my channel,
use your best, most often used note system on your phone,
just copy and paste it there,
make it searchable
point number two for this video.
Let me talk about the couple of things i've been thinking about
regarding the content on my main and second channel.
First, the second channel,
the second channel currently holds my new videos of handcrafts.
What I do in my studio,
velvet flower making,
and also my edits on dramas in the future.
It will still be functioning mostly like that.
Putting content that is not strictly related to drama,
but I like doing on that channel,
I switch off money making for all my edits,
because I don't own the music.
I don't own the drama.
I never make money on youtube on my edits.
And usually they naturally become not legible
for money because I use other people's music.
Still, though there is the risk of it getting copyright strike
currently on there.
There are some edits that i've done for Word of Hornor
this year for under the skin.
and mix cut
Here is what I would do in the future
when a new drama comes and inspires me to do edits
I'll still putall the edits on my second channel AvenueXtra.
And regardless of how well or not well it does,
I would keep it there for a couple of months and then delete them
unless they are those super mix edits.
Such as one actor's ten different dramas cut together
or 40 dramas edits mixed together.
They contain too many different shots from different dramas.
And usually just 1/2 seconds
So it's unlikely to get copyright strike
because you can't even tag it properly,
nobody can find it really
with the system unless they have some super computer.
So those are unlikely to get copyright strike.
But if those edits are about a specific drama,
say about Guardian,
about Untamed , Word of Honor
specific about that,
it's much easier for the system to flag it
So for those videos,
when I produce new ones
I'll delete them after 3 months, something like that.
And for the current ones that you would see on my AvenueXgtra channel,
I will be deleting them.
Most of them in one week's time.
If there's one particular one, you really like, you can download it.
It's really easy just type in google and then search
youtube video download.
There are a million ways to download it
super easy and fast
the Under the Skin ones have put out
which happened around March and April this year
i'm gonna keep them till the end of June, and then delete them.
So that would be my second channel in the future.
What I wanna do with it.
Then for my main channel,
the other day I checked, I had 516 videos.
I've already started deleting some old ones.
The ones that are only working for the time being
such as I announced, something is available in my shop
or something I'm about to do.
And once the time passes
it no longer means anything.
And a couple of older edits on drama that I haven't deleted.
I should have it on the second channel,
but back then there wasn't a second channel.
Those videos i've deleted about 15 of them.
so right now.
If you go on my main channel,
there are about 500 freaking videos,
unbelievable.
I'm gonna go in regularly to delete some very old ones.
So from the earliest day,
working towards now that are not really getting any views.
I've had videos that haven't got one view
for like last month or something zero view.
so there's no point of them being there anymore.
They are too unrelated to current time.
Those ones i'm gonna start deleting,
the ones started doing well, the ones people like,
don't worry if there's a particular video you like
it's unikely i'm gonna delete it because
I can tell on the back- end if people like a video
so irrelevant videos, no longer performing anything videos
that just makes my library look too big and
candidates for potential copyright strike.
And youtube doesn't have a time limit.
It could be 10 years down the line.
I have a thousand videos.
And one of the 10 years old video got copyright strike,
which would be just stupid to think about
then for the weekly videos i've been making right now.
It's already 131
incredible
that I do on every Saturday.
I'm thinking about starting to delete the very old ones.
Maybe I keep 1 year to 1 year half that's
closest tp current date always on my channel,
but even older ones as time goes on,
I start to delete them because they are irrelevant anymore.
2 years ago, news video about when a drama is gonna air, who cares?
Really and who would watch that, right?
It doesn't make sense to keep it there.
Those older videos,
i'm gonna gradually start to delete them.
I hate clutter
you can tell you know my room is pretty empty.
Most of the time
I promise i'm not Xue Baochai
If you read Hong Lou Meng
i'm so not like her,
but in terms of arranging your room,
I have similar things.
It's like I like white,
clean color and no clutter
and honestly just just reducing
resources on internet of me floating everywhere,
so that one day people can make a perfect,
deep fake of me.
I mean with all the content i've put out with my face on it
you probably cannot already do a pretty convincing deep fake.
If you want to,
we live at a weird time,
there's nothing we can do about that.
It's one thing I have to bear as a content creator.
Part three is regarding the content.
And what i'm thinking about doing as you know right now,
I have three videos out every week Saturday.
It would be the weekly news video that has been running
they will be keep happening on Saturday.
As for Tuesday and Thursday.
When they first get published,
i've gotten used to doing it not that it's easy,
but you just build up a stamina and you get used to it,
not saying I wanna break that schedule.
It's been working fine for me,
but I do wanna make a little bit change because I feel it's
quite stale and I am kind of getting bored out of that.
So i'll still try to put two videos out during the week.
And i'm thinking about keeping Tuesday mostly on drama reviews.
And then for Thursday,
I wanna call it the Blind Box Thursday.
If it happens to be a week where a lot of
new dramas that are very interesting coming,
I can still make a review on that day,
but I could also have a video that is other things
such as talking about culture and language,
such as the reality versus drama series.
I've done number one.
I do have plans for those videos.
Just recently.
There are too many new dramas that.
Takes my attention away.
It may be a thursday that doesn't have anything just because i'm bored
and uninspired or too busy to make a video
it will be an empty thursday.
It could be a thursday where I talk about an old old drama.
That's no longer easy to find,
but still is very fun to talk about or it could be something else.
Leave it open for future development.
So in the future it will be a more reliable Tuesday of drama review
Thursday, something can happen or may not
most likely still gonna happen.
But if not, don't get surprised.
And then saturday, the weekly news.
Now let me come to the last point,
which would be one of the things i'm thinking about
starting on my Thursday videos that would involve
my lovely audiences more.
I've been running this channel for 5 years and mostly it's just me
talking in front of a camera
and YouTube doesn't support live or bullet comment like bilibili
and most of the Asian platforms.
not a thing culturally,
I guess for youtube,
I just wish they could utilize it because
it could be so engaging and interesting.
Here is one new type of videos that can come on my Thursday slot,
which is if you've ever bought anything from my shop,
you'll find there's a stamp often that comes with it.
It's also on my postcard that's like a tagline called
live your story.
So i'm thinking maybe just work off that.
andI'm gonna make thursday a slot for possible
videos in a series called
Tell Your Story
There's one thing that I can do very well ever
since I was a kid which is storytelling.
I remember distinctively when I was 4 years old,
I could listen to a story on cassette tape.
yeah That was a long time ago.
We used tape back thens
and I can repeat the story,
not like word by word,
but I can repeat the plot and I can tell the story.
and I can make all the kids who live in the neighborhood
come in and listen to me just tell them stories.
It's like (factory default setting)
and it's just something that just comes naturally to me
Probably one of the reasons that I was able to do this channel for this long
and not giving up on it
might as well just take good advantage of that.
So here's my idea.
Called Tell Your Story
If you have a story, personal story,
a story of a friend, story you've heard,
it could be a funny story,
ridiculous story, scary,
horrible story or it could be something that really you wanna tell,
but then maybe because you don't have a big enough social media following
don't have access to a lot of strangers while you can keep your identity secret,
maybe you want to hear random people from everywhere in this world's,
opinion and suggestions and what they think of certain things.
Maybe you just wanna have a free and safe way of listen to other
people's feedback of a particular thing that goes on your life.
Anything.
Right, you think it's worth sharing and it'll be
interesting for me to tell that for you.
That's what i'm thinking about the Thursday.
Tell your story videos.
I have my official email on the channel description.
hello@avenuex.ca
in the email,
you can hide your identity.
You don't have to tell me who you really are.
You can just get a one of those like proton mail, whatever.
If you really worry about your you know security and stuff,
you can make up all kinds of names for your characters
you don't have to tell me anything really specific about it.
and you can also tell me if you want me to further
encode it and make it even you know like more blurry,
that could all work.
I'll leave it in a description in terms of how you title it,
so that I can immediately spot in my in box where I get a
lot of emails that this is for this particular video slot.
And you can write me a story that you think will
be interesting for me to tell to my audiences.
I mean it could even be like something.
I have the ambition to open a Bubble tea shop
and I spent all my savings and I failed.
I mean it sounds very sad,
but just maybe very interesting sharing that experience
with other people so that they don't fall into the same pitfall.
If that story, I think it's worth telling.
I'm gonna email back to you.
And then we can discuss more about if you have worries about
this and that and when I may put it out how I may tell it,
you know
i'll try to make it fun, basically.
And let's see how it
runs
And I do want to emphasize 2 points beforehand,
which is number one.
If you submit your story.
It's not a guarantee that I can make it to my video slot.
I'll try my best,
but depending on whether it fits the overall you know vibe of my channel
and whether I have time at the time and then everything considered.
Number two is
if your story happens to be epic story of like 10,000 words worth,
and it is really good,
but it's really long
in your first EMAIL to me,
maybe just give me a synopsis.
don't actually write it up.
I've actually received emails that's over 5,000 English words long.
I'm not kidding and I keep scrolling and couldn't see the end of it.
I got shocked.
and the shock itself just made me stop reading.
I'm definitely gonna get flattered,
but I also get scared.
If you happen to have an epic,
but very long story
don't do it in the first EMAIL.
That's one thing I can think of that might be interesting.
and might work for a long time to come
that maybe valuable to my audiences
that I can do for you lovely people.
So that should be the end of this video inspired by the recent,
horrendous things happening to may channel I can't do this.
I should learn how Liu Yifei did that thing with her fingers.
With this fan
This fan's weight is different from those folding fan.
Need practice.
But anyway, I can never do it as pretty as she does.
But, hey,
you know she's an actress.
She's one of the prettiest.
Why do I compare myself to her?
That will be the end of this video.
All the things that I suggest would be best
for you to do is in the description box below.
Thank you for watching this special update from AvenueX
please take care
live long
and happy
drama watching
