I Love Youtube

Without YouTube, I would be lost. I spend at
least two hours a day on YouTube watching
the news, playing Rush Limbaugh in the
background, looking at videos on the 37
channels I'm subscribed to. I got hooked on
hiking videos Last Summer. I'm subscribed
to 5 cooking channels. All kinds of esoteic
stuff I'm subscribed to.
I never watch any of the cable news networks
in real time. Every segment on every news
channel shows up on YouTube minutes after
it's done, minus the commercials. There are
hundreds if not thousands of complete movies
on YouTube. Complete episodes of old TV shows,
complete documentaries, movie trailers and clips,
the amount of total content there is
mind-boggling. When I think about it, it's
probably closer to 3 or 4 hours a day did I spend
there, it's my go-to place on the internet.
I love Sam the Cooking Guy. His inspiring because
he thinks outside the box. His channel has exploded
lately, he's adding 3500 new subscribers a day.
I really like hiking videos. This girl hiked all 2600 miles
of the Pacific Crest Trail last summer. She's very
entertaining and you can interact with them as they
hike in the comments section.

I really want to get off drinking pop as much as possible. Lots of videos on making your own fizzy drinks. This one has a few ideas. I have some berry bushes and can't wait until June now. At the rate I am watching these things I will end up buying 20-30 pounds of cherries in cherry season.

Where would you be without me?
What do you think about the cheating allegations against the Limers? Do you think they really tried to disrupt the Raspberry Racers but somehow messed with Team Primary instead? Doesn’t make sense to me, especially when you consider Team Primary had good speed going into the final leg of the relay. Therefore, it’s clear Team Primary just messed up on the last hand-off and wanted to make the Limers an escapegoat. Then again, I wouldn’t put it past those dirty Limers fans to cheat....their whole organization is corrupt AF.
The entire event is fascinating, but the alleged cheating starts later, around 10 min 30 sec.
https://youtu.be/O2AbcCbyJ2U
Again, this is just the QUALIFIERS. And if you knew anything about the Marblelympics, you’d know it’d be just stupid to try to cheat in that fashion. The Raspberry Racers are WAY BETTER than the Limers, so cheating against them doesn’t really make sense, it’d make more sense to cheat against other teams that have similar skill. Remember, the allegations are they TRIED to cheat against RR. Even if it was a bait-and-switch, why would they cheat against Team Primary? With TP’s young squad and developing talent (reads: untalented), the Limers are significantly better than they are. TP is simply not even a threat against the Limers.
I think it was a fan or group of fans from a different team that caused the disruption, possibly making it look like it was the Limers who did it. Probably Mellow Yellow or Balls of Chaos, IMO.

Awesome.

She probably earns between $300K and $750K
a year by making cooking videos in her

It could work but I would say needs 2 things. First, it must be *FUN*. Show it in a neat way. Best example I have that is close to math is explaining how dice work. People half the time do not know that opposite sides add to 7. Really, I have been in rooms of some of the best math and computer geniuses on the planet and they do not realize this. I once made it fun enough that a half-drunk lady of the house spent over a minute flipping the dice over as if it would change the result.
Second, show the practicality. As I have often said, I never once had an algebra teacher explain a practical use for algebra. Not once. Just those "B chasing A" problems that the answer should always be written in, "if B would just have been ready to leave when her husband said they had to leave the whole problem would not matter."

I thought about starting a thread like this. Most of my viewing is youtube.
It's funny to me that someone would watch youtube and then head for the cable news and advertisements amid the sea of fun and informative content. That's like going to the buffet at Ceasars and eating a bunch of taco bell you smuggled in.
Best all around poker channel, is Doug Polk, one of the world's top players. A lot of his concepts are too advanced for smaller stakes, but you still learn some stuff and it is cool to observe the higher level thinking. Plus he is a funny guy.
My favorite channel atm is Vegetable Police. Funny enough to be a pro comedian, which he sorta is I guess. He is a diet and fitness experimenter who kind of hops from one extreme to the next. A vegan for several years, here he is eating raw chicken that has been left in an unrefrigerated jar for several weeks.
Just found What I've Learned. Short videos, with a bent towards self improvement. How we learn a foreign language, what causes mental health issues, nutrition, etc. He is just a smart guy who does his own research, so nothing is authoritative. But it can still be helpful to get an overview of hours of research in 10 mins.

YT is the biggest part of the "information superhighway."
My dad was amazed at some of what was on there. But he didn't get how it is the first thing you look at. Once I had to call him to ask something about car mechaincs and he didn't know. He calls back and asks if I "checked YouTube." He didn't get that I called him because I couldn't find it there.
Yet all the times I showed him all that was on there he still rather watched cable.

Get someone skilled in nude body painting and have them draw/paint the math concept on the model's body while you explain. You can time lapse it some to move the pace along for some of the drawing parts.. 100s of thousands of subscribers in no time.

There's a bunch of channels I follow. RoadGambler, who recently shut down from heat over songs in the background and YouTube not liking monetizing gambling videos. Of course, Wizard, and Vegas Aces. I found a neat craps strategy one called Color Up. He shows different craps strategies, unedited. It more or less proves the house always wins.
And non gambling favorites....Bad Lip Reading is always good for a laugh. The wife and I like Psychetruth massage videos to help fall asleep at night. ASMR has become pretty big on YouTube. Sometimes when I'm busy around the house, it's always nice to put on a podcast on a topic I'm interested in.

In some major cities in China they are already doing that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but people are getting fines in the mail for things like littering when caught by a public camera that used facial recognition to identify the suspect.
It is only a matter of time until what you saw in Minority Report is reality. I give it about 30 years before you walk into a Banana Republic and are welcomed by name when you set foot through the door.
