You learn something from every single YouTube video you make.

I work with creators ranging from 37,000 subscribers to 3,000,000.

Here are 5 retention-killing traps I've fallen into as a scriptwriter over the last year 🧵:

I think you just named your problem haha. I think it's important to switch things up and make vids you actually wanna make vs always running in the hamster wheel. when you make such a vid, you'll fall in love with editing again :)

you know what that is a very good point

Everyone on social media should know about the Illusory Truth Effect

If you see something repeated enough times, it seems more true. Multiple studies show that it works on 85% of people. Worse, it still happens even if the information isn't plausible & even if you know better.

Remember: the chaos is the point. This is a green light to trolls, election meddlers, and disinfo peddlers. Elon loves the trash fire. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-01/twitter-limits-content-enforcement-tools-as-us-election-looms

the love for editing??

Yes! I feel like for the last while it's always just felt like a chore, and I'm racing to the end so I can get the video done and published!

Scammers are using potential Twitter verification news and updates to trick folks into giving away their credentials via phishing emails fast. Cyber criminals often use breaking or current events and platform updates to trick via email or social media message. Example below.

This is interesting: a proposed standard (RFC 7807) for how error messages in HTTP+JSON APIs should be structured, for example like this: https://twitter.com/httpapi_wg/status/1583141665639899136

this is a new draft, RFC number yet to be assigned, which would replace RFC7807

Teach your kids how to dial a rotary phone, connect to the internet via a dial-up modem, use 1-800-CALL-ATT, hook paper up to a dot-matrix printer, scan documents with a hand-held scanner, log on to IRC, and any other real-world skills your ancestors were taught.

Apple should come down hard on this. This is an abuse of the notification system. https://gizmodo.com/uber-iphone-notification-ads-peloton-1849722398

I've seen so many apps do this and I don't understand why Apple doesn't shut them down immediately since it's a pretty blatant violation of their policies

You could probably divide twitter’s staff right now into a few groups: (a) people who want to leave and will (if they’re not fired) but are hanging on for a payout (b) people who want to leave but can’t because of visas/family (c) a few who want to fight for it (d) Elon cultists.

I wish I could go on Twitter without people flooding the timeline with whining and over dramatizing things about Twitter.

It’s a social media site. We’ll all be fine. Life is so much bigger than these things.

Go hang out with your family or pet. Send a nice message to a friend.

I’ve spent more time inside the Twitter codebase than 99.9999% of humanity and folks, I literally don’t understand what it would mean to give someone a quick “tour” of “the Twitter code”

🔴 LIVE Q&A! Guess the vlogging camera from the footage!

Let's play a game! I've got some clips from my latest vlog and we'll try to identify which camera was used to film each bit! I actually had 3 different cameras with me, can you tell which was which? I'll show you some clips from a camera and you can guess live! This will also be a fun demo of some live interaction tools!

great, so some bored hacker with a deauth board can set displays to show all flights cancelled or whatever

I would sure hope those are hardwired in via ethernet, but there's no guarantees I guess

huh, I wouldn't have figured those kinds of displays would be 4k, 120hz, HDR capable, etc., but maybe economies of scale make that make sense.

I take it back. I searched around and nearly all the commercial displays I'm finding now also have a computer inside usually with some sort of digital signage platform preinstalled 🤦‍♂️

I'm hanging on to my 2015 ViewSonic not-smart commercial display as long as I can

yeah I dunno if the market for 65"+ monitors realistically exists

It does! "Commercial displays" used in airports and things. Sadly some of those are getting smarts now too, but sometimes that's limited to a serial port
