which is a problem youtube wide i guess

clickbait is monetizable and works better than straight forward titles

ive tried several various on titles and thumbnails, descriptions. sometimes all you can do is put nothing

The algorithm also favors putting "clickbait arrows" in your videos.

So @Timcast do you plan to go to Iran due to the protest or are the laws there going to make it difficult to get something out?

ive tried to go to iran its basically impossible for americans

Have these tim

Ever try and go to Saudi Arabia?
Be interested in hearing a story on the social changes happening there, like letting women drive and MBS's economic reforms

cant go to certain cities in saudio unless yer muslim

What about a story on the war in Ukraine? It’s bizarre and upsetting how little the world cares about that country

I think because it's a LIC

Low Intensity Conflict

What are you talking about? Open tank warfare and air strikes, IEDs, refitting museum-display WWII armored vehicles for urban combat, openly procommunist alignment by openly Russian backed rebels breaking truces and ceasefire agreements is “Low Intensity?”

Yeah

I have to give the Russians credit

They know how to play their cards

It’s not going away, it’s affecting the entire country more and more every day. The government of Ukraine is restricting freedoms and military vehicles are being summoned from across the country. President Trump has recently signed legislation to allow sales of top grade American weapons to intensify and finish the war despite claims he is a “Russian puppet” which are obviously and verifiably false based on his entire foreign policy throughout his entire presidency this far

Being able to recognize that, at the time, America’s president, Obama, was the weakest, most clueless, most uninformed, most indifferent, most lazy president of all time when it comes to foreign policy of ALL TIME, and attacking its neighbors is not “worth credit”

Yeah it is

He saw weakness and he took it

It's also a marvel about how quiet it has been besides it's a stalemate

Is Ukraine in danger?
Yes
Are they in imminent danger?
No

No, it’s not a stalemate, Ukraine is preparing to finish this off, with American support, in what will undoubtedly be the next major proxy America vs. Russia flashpoint a la Syria

Currently it's a stalemate

No side has made any major advances

I have studied military history for a long time and the War in Donbass is in a stalemate

Sure man. Let’s just ignore the deaths of people if it’s boring. Gotcha.

It's not boring

Speaking of the body count

For the Spanish Civil War 2.0 you seem to be talking about the number of dead is only around 10,000

In military numbers that's low

Are you trolling?

No

I'm just stating facts

The death count is low

In the battle of the Somme offensive of 1916 22,000 men died in the span of just the first day alone

Nevermind Tim. Only 10,000 people died. No one cares about only thousands of people dying. You won’t get any views with numbers of dead people that low.

The reason why the Ukranians are getting all the old WW2 weapons is because their military is not in great shape.

I'm not saying that

Better to go to Saudi Arabia because women can drive now. That’s big news.

Talking with emotion in the case of war is a dangerous thing

There is a stalemate

Or Iran like that other guy suggested, where almost twenty people died, now THAT’S news

Wars are only interesting in the eyes of the general public if there are massive movements and grand offensives why do you think WW2 is a more popular topic to talk about than the first?

The best war was Iran-Iraq war

Oh dear god no

Yes

I don’t know what to say man. It’s clear you just don’t get why someone would care about Ukraine.

It was like if the Austrians and Italians fought in the middle east

Ukraine is fucked one way or another too close to russia to change. If they go closer to nato or EU they might face russian might

The EU won't do shit

This guy understands why it’s a massive flashpoint, without needing explanation

EU dislike Eastern Europe

In other news the sky is blue

I don’t want Ukraine in the EU. EU is fucked up. I don’t want Ukraine under Russia’s control. There must be a new center of power like that which was nearly established between the World Wars. Esstern Europe must form it’s own bloc.

Can't

Ukraines hate Poles and vice versa

Besides most of eastern europe has some Russian influence

The Pro Russians would never let something like that happen.

Not so true anymore. There’s multiple programs between the two countries, including one allowing for dual citizenship for families which lived in former Polish land now owned by Ukraine because of Soviet redistribution

Belarus is like a puppet of Russia

Belarus is an example of what we must not allow Ukraine to become. Ignoring it will allow exactly that to happen.

I'm not saying it's not important

What I'm saying is that stalemates are not news worthy

Now when this grand Ukraine offensive happens like you are saying is going to happen then it will be news

Well it's winter so no major fighting going on until march so yeah

April at the earliest

There is still the spring melts

Mud is an ass to transport through

True but more inf fighting than afv

Still

A good example is WW1 where the mud hindered any sort of offensives

There is also logistics

Also fair weather for aircraft

Well they can use the air unless the rebels have more AA and able to stop them but after the Malaysia Airlines getting shot down. I don't see they be using a lot of it.

AA can only do so much when dealing with army on army fighting

ISIS is learning that the hard way

Yeah

What do I know. I only talk to someone living there. I don’t play AA guns on Battlefield One like some people do.

Living there and being a general observing a battlefield is two different things

You didn’t tell me you are a general observing this battlefield

I'm not

But one has to see the bigger picture

The bigger picture is that stalemates are not fun or newsworthy it doesn't catch eyes

That... that... is that not what I’ve been saying this entire time? That just because it’s not in the news doesn’t mean it’s not important?

Now when Spring rolls around like @Jihadtangle said we might see some stuff

everyone

listen

the time is now

That rabbit will kill us all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcxKIJTb3Hg

is it worth editing my YT vids and uploading just for FB?

I mean maybe

Personally id stay away from Facebook. But thats just me. I understand it will definitely help you grow your channel if thats your intention.

itll just grow my FB but I neglect it

How long do you think it will take you to edit?

takes an extra 10-15 minutes

but I guess if FB is pushing YT links down and propping fb vids up I might as well

Oh thats not bad

I was thinking it would take you an hour or more

I mean, if I just uplaod the same vid it adds no extram time at all

maybe a minute

but if I add text and make it a differetn size its a new project

Might be worth doing that extra work for the bigger stories. But not all the vids will need that amout of extra work

https://www.facebook.com/timcastnews/videos/1739590129461553/

the demonetization has been brutal this month so far

every video got hit so today I said fuck it and just gave it extremely generic info and its monetized

Damn

I think i'll start a prank channel to subsidize news

a prank channel?

yea pranks

just focus 90% on pranks and clickbait

imagine if logan and jake paul put all profits towards funding a news operation

that would be amazing

instead they do normal shit like fancy cars and filming dead bodies

about to go live with Bearing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzDI614YBik

Ugh, I hate that I cant put a fake name on YT anymore.

https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/950201994253254656

this discord is growing fast

No idea though, we dont have the offline list to see

I mean, when did they do that?

https://discord.gg/2WprP6

Just under 200 members

It's much easier to create an instant invite and then just post it in the chat than to wonder at how many members there are

And now there would be 197 total members

but who's counting?

I am, apparently

https://discord.gg/2WprP6

Nope, the number updates

:/ I could have sworn those messages only pop up when someone first joins

I don't remember where to look on my own server for the setting

Beautiful talk I found between Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson: https://youtu.be/kteHW6t4G0g

How the fuck did I miss this

Man this Peterson is going places. Like the H3H3 podcast was a surprise, a pleasant one at that

He and Bret should go on another talk. Having the both of them on Joe Rogan's podcast was probably one of my favourite ones.

Hmm, just curious, how many people do you think will join if this channel gets announced on twitter. Kinda hope not

@GingaBomber Hard to say. I would be surprised if it more than doubles the current population, but I could be wrong. Tim does have quite a few Twitter followers.

Definately an understatement there.

I don't know if Tim plans to put out an invite link on Twitter, but I personally think that we probably need more moderators or a lobby channel and roles to delegate access to other channels before that happens, because anything posted on Twitter will be rife for brigading/raiding/trolling/etc.

just about 200 members and I only posted the link in one video

I think a filter system to where new members are blocked from all of the channels except for the welcome chat and the mods can then just filter people in that way.

@Converted Weeb Is the welcome chat this channel? Why do people need to be filtered?

Possible trolls and scumbags

i just made this a couple days ago and only linked it in one video so far

I reading up on the Yvette felarca decision I think it is safe to safe Yvette is evil

I dont use that word lightly but she is

the deceit her and her associates use to manipulate

the violence and lies

I've met antifa people that I would call good people, thats not controversial but BAMN is crazy evil

At least she is having to pay 11 grand due to the false restraining orders

When your tag line is "By Any means Necessary", that doesn't seem like a peaceful organization (by nature)

yeah, but look what it took to get that? And she's only paying 11 grand in attorney fees, as in, the college republican she was targeting had to foot the bill himself for a while.. If they didn't find in his favor, he would have been out that money

hes out 168,000$

right

167,000$

>by any means neccesary
>evil
imagine my shock

if this was any normal college student, theres no way they could afford that

we need to kill 1000 babies to usher in the glorious utopia, how to do it the most efficient way

when utopia requires death of babies, I draw the line

striving for utopia is a line for me full stop. you can justify any act that way

You’ve watched Sargon’s videos on her/BAMN right Tim? Pretty much all there is and all you need to know

i think the demonetization is random

like its mostly random which videos get flagged

my raccoon cafe video was demonetied

it ahs nothing to do with politics

Random maybe, but you're probably weighted now for demonitization regardless of content. i.e. perhaps you've made a list..

interesting video by the economist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utW1F-QuYq8 @Timcast might be worth trying to interview this guy.

i really dont care if oprah is president

oprah's first year: everyone gets a car 😃

too bad they'll all be Pontiac G6s 😃

take the rac off of raccoon and I can see why a bot scanning the audio might demonetise

but surely youtube's more sophisticated than that 😄

here is the thing about the demonitization algorithm

a sufficiently complex algorithm is indistinguishable from a random numbe rgenerator

its very possible the demonitizations apear random

but they are not, that i can almost guarantee

The real reason the racoon cafe video was demonetised: A furry who identifies as a small rodent complained as they find raccoons to be offensive 😛

Please anyone but Oprah, she has nothing to offer.

Oprah/Whoopi 2020? 🤔

Hello

I am also new

henlo

dammit, i can't post pictures

the wave of people joining after the new video which includes me

I'm sure there will be a few, welcome everyone!

Hello fellow mixed race peoples.

Hello fellow pure bloods

Bugrit, millennium hand an' shrimp!

I mean, erm, Greetings 😄

Hello fellow alt centrists

BEANIE SQUAD

ASSEMBLE

Hello fellow martians

Heya o/

Oh hi dudes

I just came from Barcelona yesterday. I have a question, why the catalonia flag in @Timcast's videos?

o/ newbros

I only saw commies supporting the independence movement

If Oprah becomes president, the Idiocracy has become reality.

Tim went to cover the vote for independence in Barcelona.

Tim is in reality a white-Korean-Barcelonian 😉

I know he did, but he covered it as if the state was being authoritarian. Would you say it isn't mostly commies supporting the independence movement?

time to stock up on brawndo

It has electrolytes!

its got what plants crave!

Wasn’t the president a porn Star and pro wrestler?

i don't really but something along those lines

really need to watch that movie again

It merits a review indeed.

its a historical documentary from the future at this point

There were several key scenes, I recall one in a hospital and a hilarious law suit

gonna write in Luke Wilson in the next election

@Grenade123 Not oprah?

I’d prefer trey Parker

as much as i'd love to see some tax dollars back in the form of a car only to have them tax me more than the car is worth, just like her show, i'd rather go with the idiocracy meme

Hi

I kind of hate the idea Trump has made "i'm famous so i can be president" a train of thought.
but at the same time i know this can only be hilarious

Well obviously it's not just the fact he's famous. He has credentials. You've gotta know laws if you're going into business

Does no one remember the fact that Reagan was an actor before he was POTUS?

@Somi He was also an elected governor before he was POTUS

True.

Disregard that, i suck cocks.

Trump becoming president is different from someone like The Rock saying he'll run

I'd pay to see that though

I remember people where buzzing about it

Who else remembers Kanye 2020? Think he'll pull through with it?

Oh dear god

Wonder if he's knee deep in some law books for that one right now haha

People even printed up Kanye 2020 shirts

He might be doing the audiobook for that

gosh i hope so

https://youtu.be/-ICe8_pFxNo

New vice reporter on the street.

Beanie

lol old schol

😮

Which is interesting, I knew some people who thought Trump represented the elites rather than the working class. Well Shapiro did at least.

Shapiro is a man with an excellent set of debate skills, but little to no things of actual value to say.

Yeah I dont pay too much mind to Shapiro. He just seems like a right wing version of all the people that make Buzzfeed tier articles

maybe a step above buzzfeed

Oh he's definitely a step above buzzfeed
