    Imagine it's Sunday morning. You've been allowed to sleep in as long as you want, and you have no chores or responsibilities all day. There's fresh fallen snow on the ground. Your mom makes Cinnamon rolls and serves you breakfast. But you're almost 3, so you are blind with rage.

    Dear TikTok/Short form creators.

    Put the damn lavalier mic on your lapel where it’s supposed to be and stop waving it around in front of the camera.

    Same goes for your ear bud microphone.

    Stop it.

    Teaching people how to use their gear "properly" is a losing battle at this point. I mean how do you think we ended up with vertical video?

    I've been making tutorials since 2013 and I have never ever needed to go back and re-edit anything. Especially after a month or years have passed. In fact, if I need to reference an old video, I download the 720p version from YouTube. A-roll is a waste of space IMO.

    Haha I’m in the same position. Kept everything so far but man it’s eating up my storage space.

    a couple years ago YouTube adsense barely covered my phone bill… now it covers my mortgage.

    if you need a KPI to inspire you let it be that.

    Nope! I recently deleted it all and it freed up literally terabytes of space. In 6 years of YouTube, I've never once needed it after filming.

    B roll is a totally different story, and I've found an archive to be priceless.
    Aaron Parecki
    I've been keeping everything for now, but so far have never gone back to dig up the a-roll. I'm going to trash it all when I need the space. I've screencap'd a youtube video where I want to show that it was on youtube with the date and such. Agreed about b-roll tho.

    Hey @YouTubeCreators it would be cool to do collab videos where it shows up on both sides similar to how music artists can on Spotify or even IG.

    Views/impressions/stats count towards both channels and would be a great way to expand audiences.

    @YouTubeLiaison let’s go πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸΌ

    @aaronpk hah we might have the same wiring. "If my hands are available I need to be working on something" πŸ˜„

    oh it's bad. I refuse to leave the house unless I have *two* reasons. I will not go to only one grocery store. It has to be at least grocery store and take out the trash.

    @aaronpk Gak, yeah, it's why I stopped doing gel because not only does it wreck your nails but is so time consuming

    Aaron Parecki
    I first thought I'd let them just grow out naturally but then a month later they were starting to look messy and only 1/3 grown out and didn't want two more months of this.

    So when I was a kid, we had HBO, and we had a VCR, and my dad diligently recorded what appeared to me to be every single movie playing on HBO until our entire hall closet was a movie library full of VHS tapes. It only occurs to me now to ask, was that normal?
    Aaron Parecki
    I knew someone who did this too! I remember the many bookshelves of VHS tapes in his home office, looked king of like library shelves

    Okay shiny black fingernails were fun but wow gel nail polish is really time consuming and messy to remove!

    At least soaking my fingers for 15 minutes per hand gives me an excuse to catch up on some videos

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
