well they make acceptions for anything that they already were using in canadia before they found out about the ninja

just racism really

the ironic thing is, most weapons attributed to ninja arnt even ninja weapons

but yeah, we got off topic, an antifa man chased james fields into his car with a gun, maybe confermed?

im not sure it absolves fields of all charges but i feel like it muddys the waters to a signifigant degree

for whatever reason the aptreon channel kept switching to public

i blame russian hackers

@Arch-Fiend for future record, assume anything you see in the news about an "automatic weapon" means scary looking semi-auto rifle with a clip that sticks out. If it looks like something akin to an M4/M16, or an AK-47, assume they will refer to it as if it was any one of those rifles.

i'm sure they would refer to an airsoft rifle or paintball gun as a fully automatic rifle even if it had a hopper and orange tip

it was my interpritation, wasent going off of the news, i was the fake news for that case

then embrace the chance to learn how not to always be fake news. lets go to a shoot range everyone!

well i know the difference between the weapons mechanicly, i simply dont have an encyclopedic knowledge about guns to the point i can look at 2 very similar looking weapons and tell that one keeps firing with the trigger pulled. i probably should have said "a rifle with a magazine"

@Timcast Discord has an audit log in the server settings, you can see who changed permissions for what and when

Launching a pocast either sunday or monday on my channel

name is likely "The Culture War"

we are getting it sorted now

Me, Emily, and Reactor will be talking about the latest in the culture war once per week. Aiming for sundays at 4pm and getting it up on all platforms as well

Sweet.

Cool beans @Timcast

@Timcast in your video today, you forgot to factor in the current 10,000 lifetime views requirement for the YPP. 95% is an exaggerated number. 60-80% is closer to the truth.

how is it exaggerated?

you need 1k subs AND 4k viewer hours

95% of channels dont have 1k subs

And how many of those that do have 4k watch hours?

even less

its harder to quantify viewer hour ranks

there are channels with 2k subs who have less than 4k viewer hours

some channels make amazing videos that are 1 minute long

Oh btw, while you're here Tim, did you hear about the YouTube sponsoring thing? It's basically the equivalent of Twitch Subscriptions for YouTube?

i have not

I'm not sure who/how qualifies for it, but some channels I'm subbed to already have it enabled. You might want to look into it?

When I saw it the first person I thought of was you. lol

i might not have it cuz im with fullscreen

it says only gaming channels righ now

Oh ok.

I should've looked into it a bit more closely, whoops lol, but I think they're looking into non-gaming channels for the future.

@Badg3rman @Timcast I don't think that the number is exagerated, so much as the fact that the point is exagerated. In the channel count, how many of those actually have videos? I'd be concerned that they might be listing channels in the same number as users. For instance, I have two channels, one which I used to post and protect drone footage I was working to sell to a company, and one on which I was testing the waters in video game review. Both would technically be in that 50 million count, but absolutely have no place being monitized as of right now.

What about people who have created channels simply to comment on other people's videos, or used to post family videos? How many of those inflate the count, do you think?

Other than that, it's absolutely believeable that only the top 5% might be monitized. It's believable that only the top 5% of people who post photos on Facebook make livings from their photographs, if only the top 8% would consider themselves actual photographers.

the percentage is exaggerated because the 50 million number is inflated. Not all of those 50 million were eligible for the YPP. The current requirement is 10k lifetime views, which only roughly 11 million channels have.

so we'd have to compare the 2.5 million who MIGHT still be eligible (if they meet the 4,000 hours in 12 months requirement, as well) with these 11 million channels who are eligible for the YPP right now.
