2020 doesn't need a Friday the 13th.

i feel like an ipad at 5% battery trying to charge with an iphone charger...if that makes sense

Good call. If I were them, with the lack of success with it the last couple years, I'd want to phase it out anyway. So this actually "worked out well", so to speak. But who knows, if things turn around, they obviously can bring it back, but as I said...this is a good way to exit.

Good call. In 2020, YouTube is so big that it means very different things to everyone. To me, it doesn't make much sense to mostly celebrate the viral entertainment stars.

I never really cared about YouTube rewind since it always seemed to focus on such a select few creators. If they made one this year I think it would come off tone deaf.

Actually Buffy should have dated Willow.

it’s not actually a coup unless it comes from the coup d'état region of france, otherwise it’s just a sparkling authoritarian takeover

Can we please stop calling Republicans the "grand old party"? It's a kind of nostalgic gaslighting and marketing move, harkening to a "good old boys club" and "GOP" implies anyone else is inferior by comparison.

Japan has 1700 miles of high-speed train lines that can go up to 200 mph. The system has been in use for half a century.

it's just, really astounding, how much americans completely fail to acknowledge that the rest of the world exists, and in many cases has solved problems much better than we have, but we have pathalogical "not invented here" syndrome.
yes it would be cool to have 600mph trains.

Pro YouTuber tip!

Notice that the first minute of this video you’re hit with information and music that almost has a jarring effect. It hooks you in as a viewer and is a great strategy to keep people’s attention. https://youtu.be/vvoHy4gTDtQ

Jeeeez. Soon, all Dutch YouTubers are required to pay 400 euros for the Motion Picture Rating System and 220 euros for supervision by the Dutch Media Authority. In addition, at least 30% of the advertised products need to be European. I linked the article in the next tweet 👇

They realized a lot of very fast growing youtubers are Canadians and they needed to give the Americans a chance to catch up? 🤣

Man I hope not.

I like Blackmagic being an independent destroyer of the video world.

Hearing through the grapevine that Trump's upcoming book will be called "My Fight"

Nope, waited until it was over and I was able to purchase my MacBooks. 😅

Next week...
