I started this just before midnight on 11/19/20. So, I’m counting it for the 19th. Even though I didn’t get it posted until 12 am. I had to take a couple breaks to nurse my injured pup.
I'm amazed by YouTube. The catalog of videos on YouTube boggles the mind. There are 576,000 videos uploaded every day, 500 hours per minute. That is incredible, but what really blows my mind is the types of videos uploaded. I just watched a video of a guy getting the most violent head massage I've ever seen for 11 minutes. It has over 5.5 million views. Not only is this guy getting his head rubbed, but he is also getting his wallet rubbed too. It's hard to imagine someone making a living from YouTube these days. I'm certain it gets harder to do each day. Not to mention they change the rules continually to fit their ever-growing community. For instance, I started a channel to broadcast WTC Sports. It took me 3 years to get 500 subscribers. Not that I was trying to drive those numbers very hard. However, when I started I was able to live stream multiple games at once using iPads. That only lasted for about a month before YouTube updated their rules in which they don't allow mobile streaming unless you have over 1000 subscribers. I get why they did it, but losing that ability was a hard pill to swallow. Recently they made another change that inhibits one from streaming with a Sling Studio so easily. It wasn't that big of a deal. A little change in procedure fixed the problem. Yet, I wonder what will come next. I'm afraid there will come a day when YouTube makes another modification that renders my Sling Studio useless. The ripple effect of these changes builds waves that crash on our shores when it comes to streaming on a budget.
