So, there’s been another gap in me writing here and as usual I’d like to write about it, for what use it is to others who may read this. As usual, it’s had to do partially with me being tied up with other things, but also has to do with me spending time doing something […]
You know, I never expected the Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to get as far as they did — I’m in Season 4 and am incredibly optimistic on where this is going, as it’s gone from being just a fun little side project to something to really enjoy! In retrospect, however, I didn’t plan […]
Yes, I know it’s quite the dramatic title. Figured I’d use tactics that were common on YouTube to get some extra attention to this article — more than it already would get naturally. “Play their game” as they say. The other night I finally committed to a decision I had been considering for some time […]
Apparently, in the YouTube scene, we’re going through another “Adpocalypse” — a situation on YouTube where advertising revenue takes a dive because advertisers got pissed about something some big YouTube content creator did and YouTube decides to be more strict on what content can actually be monetized on the site. For those keeping track, this […]
Back in July of 2018 I wrote an article (YouTube Is *Still* Showing Me Channels I’ve Unsubscribed From In My Subscription Feed) discussing YouTube showing channels I’ve unsubscribed to in my subscription feed – a problem that many seem to have. I can presume others are having this issue, anyway, for one simple reason: the […]
A few days ago I shared the strange discovery my friend Prince Watercress made in that a game walkthrough / let’s play sharing site known as “GameAnyone” apparently has a tactic of making “fake” accounts for various content creators, auto publishing content they create or share to the platform without that content creators consent. Note: […]
Another thing of note in YouTube’s never ending “let’s try things, then change those things, then remove those things a few years later” pattern over the past decade is the removal of automatic post sharing. Strictly in this case sharing to Twitter and Google+ (which quite honestly I think were the only two options left) […]
Back on January 15th YouTube finally killed off the annotations feature completely on all videos. This came about a year and a half after YouTube ended the ability to create and edit annotations in any form, rendering those existing on videos as “stuck” so to speak, and not allowing any newly uploaded videos to take […]
After well over an hour of being down effectively globally, YouTube is back up and running as… er, well… as ever. While I’ve not yet seen any info on what the cause of the issue was, it does look like it was resolved, so we can all go back to watching whatever absurd junk we […]
It’s not every day that one of the top visited websites in the world seems to go down for most everyone, but when it does, it’s kind of incredible. In this case, as I type these words it’s 8:30 in the evening central time and YouTube has decided to go down. Well, not completely, you […]
Yesterday news broke of a flaw in the Google Plus API which from 2015 till recently in 2018 had the potential to expose otherwise private user data, something which would be bad enough on its own if it wasn’t for the fact that when Google became aware of this problem, but Google also apparently felt […]
I know I’m well over a week late for this one, but this is one of those things that was just too hilarious to pass up – the single worst custom computer build video that I think most people have ever watched! At least, as far as serious videos go, anyway. The video, published on […]
Well, at least they tried… No, I don’t know offhand what this is about – it looks to be someone promoting Macintosh systems (against Windows 95 based PC’s) but beyond that, I don’t have a clue right now. I’ll look into it more in the future. Also, this may become a regular thing – […]
Here we have the finale of Jim Browning’s “Bank Login Scam” video series. In part one he showed from his end one of these scams in action and was successfully able to bait the scammer into installing a remote access tool into their computer giving Jim access to the scammer’s machine. In part two, Jim […]
Now we get to the meat of Jim Browning’s Bank Login Scam video series. In this part, we get to see behind the scenes what is actually going on with the scammers computers, and how this all works. If you haven’t seen and read about Part One, check it out here! In part one, Jim, […]
