A message on my YouTube channel: "Welcome unsubscribed visitors to your channel. Tell unsubscribed users what your channel is all about. Keep it snappy and try to make it one minute or less. Check out best practices for some inspiration."
Me: Why would unsubscribed visitors even be looking at my channel? Surely they unsubscribed for a reason, and wouldn't have come back to watch more.
Me, a minute later: Oh. They must mean NON-subscribed visitors.
.
One of my top-10 videos has had over 1700 views, and I can't imagine why it would have gotten that many. Weird.
.
Someone flagged this video of mine, and YouTube age-restricted it. One the one hand, I feel amused, like I made something that's cool enough to be age-restricted. On the other hand, I feel like, yes, it's not really something for kids, and yet it's not overtly sexual (or is it?), and it doesn't have nudity. So I suppose it must be considered violent or disturbing. Like, cool, right? Or maybe caressing yourself with knives is deemed oh-no-dangerous! And then on the third hand, I'm too tired to care much either way. I mean, who gives a flying huckleberry about something like that, when there's so much really bad stuff going on in the world.
I was actually relieved that the video wasn't flagged for using copyrighted music. Without the music, the video wouldn't be nearly as cool.
