Before E3, there was (and still is) a tech industry event known as the Consumer Electronics Show, or CES. This show is exactly what it sounds like, a trade exposition where new consumer technology is shown off, much of the time in some active state, be it simply a demo version, beta software, or just […]
Just a few days ago I wrote about the end of the McJuggerNuggets YouTube channel. At that time, it did indeed seem like he wasn’t going to make any more videos, until today, where a new one randomly popped up. At the end of his last video, before revealing the entire “Psycho Series” and the […]
Edit: The original title of this article was “McJuggernuggets ends his YouTube Channel. Obviously he has continued his channel, which I may cover more of in the future. However, I am leaving the article here as is for archival sake. At the time, that’s what everyone thought had happened – that the channel was over. […]
When I go on YouTube to watch a video, I expect it to just work. More precisely, I expect the fundamentals to work as they should – I’m able to log in, watch the videos I want to, and go about my day enjoying content. The subscription listing is key to this, since those content […]
Linux is everywhere. It’s in your phone, on most web servers, and for those of us who enjoy or need such capabilities it provides, on our computers. What many people don’t know is that Linux is in many places you would never think, from Crock Pots and coffee makers to motorcycles, soccer playing robots, and […]
I’ve been meaning to write about Angry Video Game Nerd episodes for years now. The videos, while extremely crass and possibly intolerable for some types, are also well loved by so many others, especially gamers of my age range who grew up playing games on the Atari 2600, the NES, and later consoles. We grew […]
Proving yet again how absolutely broken the YouTube copyright system is, Fox has issued a DMCA takedown against a YouTube video of the NES game “Double Dribble.” The reason? The video clip, which was uploaded in 2009, was used in the most recent (at this time) episode of the animated comedy Family Guy. That’s right. […]
Before there was the internet, there were Bulletin Board Systems (BBS for short). These systems were basic, at their core, but could grow quite complex. The way they worked was simple: a user dialed the phone number of the BBS they wanted to access and, presuming the line wasn’t busy, they would connect directly to […]
When I wrote last month about the trailer for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, I never knew it would get as hated as it has been. Oh yes, a Call of Duty game is receiving massive hate.What a time to be alive! That’s right. You are looking at over 2 million dislikes! Okay, so […]
In a piece of interesting news that crossed my radar last night, it looks like the United States Congress is blocking access to Yahoo, all because someone feel victim to a phishing scam. That’s right. Someone in the United States Government, in a major legislative role, mind you, fell victim, in 2016, to some (as […]
So let’s cut to the chase with all this YouTube madness. What is the entire point I’m getting at in writing 3, now 4 articles about YouTube Content Creation? First of all, for those of you who may not have seen them, let me share the first 3 articles in this series: http://www.xadara.com/cutting-back-youtube-content-creation-part-1/ http://www.xadara.com/cutting-back-youtube-content-creation-part-2/ http://www.xadara.com/cutting-back-youtube-content-creation-part-3/ […]
So, in the event you have been living under a rock and not been aware, there has been, over the past few months, a massive backlash against YouTube and its content ID system, known as “Where’s the Fair Use” ( #WTFU). Any search on that tag shows video after video, post after post, tweet after […]
Getting feedback on YouTube videos you upload is a great thing. Seeing that your how-to video helped someone fix a broken device, or knowing someone smiled at that video of your cat playing is wonderful. It’s great to know someone watched and took the time to let you know what they thought. Even just a […]
As touched on in my last article, one of the major elements of this YouTube burnout is the sheer time it takes to create a video. While an article could take all of 15 minutes to write, a video with the same content might take upwards of 2 to 3 hours to make, under less […]
As some of my readers may know, and certainly virtually all of my close friends are aware, I produce content on my YouTube channel. YouTube Content Creation, or really, making videos of any kind, has been for the better part of a decade something I have always wanted to do, and in the past few […]
