I felt the same way, like my growth had just decided it was what it was and the algorithm wouldn't allow me to go any further. I thought that was all in my head, and I asked Copilot about it, and copilot said that an old channel can always be revived and the algorithm doesn't force you into some kind of purgatory, but copilot also thinks my crappiest lyrics are genius so what does he know am I right?

Is there any where, any way, any how that one could do Karaoke online and get away with it? Monetization doesn't matter, it just sucks cause if I could just film myself doing Karaoke? I'd have an endless goldmine of content, but as far as I can tell there's literally no way to unless you pay for every song which is so not an option for me right now. Is there a list of songs that are ok somewhere? A site that is specifically designed for it? A loophole? A work around???? DO I NEED TO THROW A PIE IN SOMEONE'S FACE???

Don't know myself, but I'd like to see the responses to this thread so I'm leaving this here.

Well it certainly works for hollywood, they've been remaking their greatest hits for years.......

Why would a channel not be able to just pivot to a different style of content that works? You're acting like something happened, did the algorithm get so used to 1k views that now nothing could ever change that? Why not? Doesn't it seem like all you'd have to do is find a type of content that is better liked, follow some trends, get a few videos to get some extra views and then the algorithm would pick up on it? Or does the algorithm just decide if a channel hasn't grown in years it never will? If THAT'S the case then I need to make a new channel not start uploading to my old one again.

Do you have a link? I mean from what you're describing, it sounds like you follow trends, then use AI to generate scripts and an avatar and a voice to then upload multiple videos to instagram yes? If this is true, sorry my friend, I think it's scummy and pathetic. If there's a little bit more "you" in it than I realize, something that would benefit the audience a bit more? Then maybe I'm being too harsh, but whether or not I think it's scummy, I'm not trying to start any fights, just not gonna back down on my opinions either.

Interesting, this whole "mapping success" thing.... maybe I should do that. I always uploaded, then ran away, then drank and answered comments, then uploaded, and ran away again. It wasn't the most sustainable strategy ever lmao. When people would say "Look at your analytics" I'd get this ancy feeling like "I DONT WANNA SEE THAT SHIT!! I JUST WANNA MAKE VIDEOS!!" LOL

I was using the Vixia 300 (I think I'm getting the name a little wrong) and thought I had a decent camera, then I got a phone upgrade cause I was on a family plan and I got the new Iphone last year. The camera on that Iphone is like.. LEAGUES better than the whole vixia camera, it actually kind of pisses me off LOL I bet camera companies hate those phones... but yeah somehow or another these new phones have professional quality cameras that beat out the cameras from actual camera companies....

This was in my feed and it's relevant to the topic.

The Internet Is Dead…And Nobody Cares

Meaning you are having better results not sharing with FB?

Well obviously today I was confronted with my first real arguments for it's use, and I guess I can kind of see a bit of gray in it. But I'm a big picture thinker, and I want a world of community, and a world where we can trust our senses. I also believe that to use AI to generate the actual content you put out, meaning using it to actually write the script, create the very ideas you're gonna be talking about? I see that as theft, it's like you've pulled little ideas from the rest of the collective, told a computer to make them sound good, and then put that out as your content. I don't think there's an argument anyone could make that would change my mind on that.

People are also saying "well what if you are too shy to be on camera" Well be a V-Tuber, pick an avatar that is cartoonish, become a symbol or funny little animal or something, I just think even choosing to TRY and make a REALISTIC looking person? I don't care if it's legal, I don't care if there's a small disclaimer, it's just too.... it muddies the waters of what is and isn't real too much, it just seems anti-community.

But let's say you use your own words, but the AI helps you word them better, you generate the voice cause you're too scared to talk, and you put a disclaimer in the beginning "the person in this video is not real" Then while I still just "get the ick", I suppose I'm not adamantly opposed to that. But if you DON'T put any disclaimer? If you flood the internet with multiple accounts and it's not your ideas, not clear the person isn't real etc? I consider that a crime against humanity and want to see laws put in place to punish such behavior.

I want absolutely nothing to do with any of this.

You know in the back of my brain I was going "isn't michael in the UK?" But I was only aware of a heatwave going on in the US so I figured I must have been wrong. So the UK and america are experiencing heat waves.... weird.

I'd like to record in the upstairs area of my house but there's no air conditioning up there and it would be unbareable. Limits when I can record and how alone I can be when I do it, in winter I might be able to get up there and be comfortable though. What state are you in? TN is only in the 80's today, last two days before that were in the 90's.

So do Tik Toks NEED to be short? I know that at first you can't even upload more than 15 seconds. Figuring out 15 second content is not something I'm too wild about unless lip syncing is an option. Suppose I could just do snippets of guitar runs or something. Don't you get to the point where you can upload up to 10 minutes or something? I wouldn't mind being able to just upload full songs.

Yeah exactly, see a red bar with the words "music" and you know it's a music video, green bar with "goofy" and you know it's a goofy video or something. I dunno I'll figure it out.

It doesn't even have to be music? So Spotify's just becoming another youtube then?

FAP is the guy who destroyed my channel! I will NEVER FORGET IT. No I mean, I was probably going to have to make a change soon cause my health issue was making it harder and harder to maintain what I was doing, but in the midst of that FAP thought it would be a great idea to put me in the cringe section of reddit, so I went from getting 1 or 2 occassional haters here and there to having a flood of them following me on EVERY VIDEO. With my anxiety naturally going up from the gut illness and THEN having to deal with that? I just left youtube. So you can thank him for that, not sure what would have happened otherwise.

I have no idea if this is true or not, but I'm just gonna decide it is. WOO HOO!! Now I don't have to do tags!!! 👾👽️👾💫💫💫

Ohhhhhh I re-read what he wrote and I thought he meant "it's not doing shit" like it's not doing WELL. No he meant "It's not doing bad". Everything makes sense now. lol
