Some basics I share with designers: Font Scale-Up: Factor 1,25 p = 16px, h6 = 20px, h5 = 25px, etc Letter Spacing: p default h6 -0,5% h3 -1,5% h1 -2% Line height: p 150% h4 130% h2 110% h1 100% Not an iron rule, but helps a bit to get started.

#perpetualstew inspired by a meme someone shared with me,a fter I posted so many videos to make up fort he time I didnt post stuff

@grok @perpetualstew_c so there is no hope for any content that is not deliberately rage baiting and reply baiting? Genuine casual hobbies and peaceful stuff has no future or hope on this platform?

The perpetualstew_c account sits at just 47 followers because perpetual stew is an ultra-niche, slow-paced hobby—daily kitchen updates like this Day 77 peeling session and Q&A don't go viral for most people. It's peaceful and consistent, but lacks the hooks, trending topics, or aggressive cross-promotion needed for bigger reach on X. Dedicated fans will find it, but mass growth needs wider exposure.

Perpetual Stew Day 77 Q&A Part 3 #perpetualstew

Figure is now livestreaming its humanoid robots as they work full eight hour shifts in a factory.

Great.... it's getting even worse now.

@theo I'm not sure if the logic here thought through to the end is solid. "If the CEO can't do everything and needs to hire someone for something, the company should not be doing that" Why should video be different to other things you hire people for?

If you need to hire someone to "do video" at your company, your company should not be doing video :)

@capcutapp Does CapCut on Android ONLY export in HVEC? I cant upload any of the videos to X, Pinterest, etc? I can't believe a mobile video editor can't export video in a format that the biggest platforms in the world accept?!

@TubeAIYT @robertoblake My little stew Channel where i cook is Just for fun. @perpetualstew_c

@robertoblake Everyone does it for the money. Because of how much time and effort it takes.

Some lore about me and one of my hottest hot takes that MOST of my peers would disagree with. I don’t believe that ANYONE who truly wants to do YouTube as a hobby or for art and doesn’t want to do it for the money… Should EVER watch a single YouTube growth video, or ever buy a course or a digital product… I don’t think anyone who is doing it for a hobby should ever buy a single software subscription or buy a single piece of gear over $150 and should NEVER invest more than $500-$1000 lifetime into their channel. I think anyone doing it for a fun hobby or personal art project should be aggressively frugal, especially if they are below median income in their country… And should never feel the FOMO to invest. Because if it’s truly a hobby or makes no sense to put both time and money into it like that if you’re not chasing growth and monetization and just doing it for yourself. If you’re not struggling and you have large amounts of disposable income and a lot of free time, then MAYBE. But I sincerely mean this. If you’re only so g YouTube for a hobby and you’re not well off… BUY NOTHING. Not a single software subscription, not a single scrap of camera gear, not a single course…. EVER. That investment is for someone who plans to make that money back. And NEVER put anything on a credit card!! Per Dave Ramsey. If this is also a pure passion project, NEVER watch a YouTube Advice video. It has probably minimal value for you, not because the advice doesn’t work… but you have a completely different goal than the advice is optimizing for if this NEEDS to be a fun outlet and you don’t want to specifically make the content revolve exclusively around growth and monetization. There are 115M YouTube Channels worldwide… there are only 3M YouTube Partners. In the U.S. only about 100,000 channels have a Silver Play Button and 100K Subscribers. There are an estimated less than 1M Americans in the YouTube Partner Program. It’s not luck… it’s a misaligned of expectations and identity. Full-time Creator outcomes rarely come from Hobby Habits, and Hobby Commitments… And that’s okay. Hobby Creators SHOULD stop trying to keep up with the Kardashians, and not feel FOMO and pressure to be like the Creators they look up to or watched growing up… What nobody likes to admit is that for MANY of you… your favorite creators who told you they were ONLY or mostly doing this for fun were LYING to you… Not to be malicious, but to fit in with you and so you would like them. Meanwhile they were aggressively spending 10 hours per week obsessing over analytics… Watching every YouTube bell video and Big Creator interview… Spending $1500 to go to events… Running up a $5000 credit card on camera gear Sitting in YouTube masterminds… Spending $500 a month on thumbnail artists… All while telling YOU… it was just a fun Hobby… And maybe the first year or two, it really was for them. My point is I genuinely feel small hobby creators have been lied to… Not by “game gurus” but an entire Influencer Industrial Complex… That pretends success is “luck” while not disclosing their advantages, access arbitrage, nepotism, or high income, that make their success not only possible, but inevitable with enough effort. The small working class creator often has none of those advantages… But is tricked into thinking they either need to work harder, be luckier, or buy something. What really often matters is that someone’s life (sometime through sheer effort) meets the conditions that lets them FINALLY prepare for opportunities… If that hasn’t happened for you, it’s more than okay to JUST have fun with this and keep it at Hobby Levels.

I recently started a little Hobby side project. It made me realize how little social is left in social Media from an algorithm aspect. It is IMPOSSIBLE for me to see the content of small creators who create badly produced niche stuff, even if I like it. I can follow the hashtag, I can follow them, I can say I want notifications. The Algo STILL decides if I see it or not. There absolutely needs to be a chronological "just see the stuff of people I follow" option. But it won't. Because it wouldn't maximize retention and possible ad earnings.

Hot take… EXTREMELY HOT… Social Media is Dead. Influencers and the Industry Killed It. Nobody has organically gone viral for long form and truly came from nothing, in at least 5 years. Maybe more. All viral long form was manufactured in a lab, by strategist, PR firms, talent agencies, or it was established people putting on their friends or clients. Short form vitality is still purely organic and often authentic and not as manufactured.., Which is why as much people who grew up with long from the last 10-14 years who consider 2010-2020 “peak YouTube” hate on it. But the truth is that Short form today does everything that 2005-2012 YouTube did, just vertical. And a generation who never was around for that, got to experience it via Short form. Short form is about as close to the original Social Media as anyone has. That and Live Streaming. Don’t get me started on how Advertising and Politics killed Facebook and Twitter/X as Social Networks. Instagram largely suffered bloated UI/UX by trying to do too many things. It also may have abandoned IGTV to early… and if it had cracked Short Form, Tiktok may have never taken shape… YouTube in isolation is everything the Creator Economy should be. Twitch MAY, and this is a big MAY, be the strongest version of “community” right now… but its biggest issues aside from platform revenue for creators, profitability and uneven policy enforcement… Is the parasocial culture being the dominant force driving donations. It borders on a level that may genuinely be predatory… Ad if they cloud make the platform more advertiser friendly it would be sustainable for a larger set of creators than the elite. Instagram or even Meta as a whole never figured out clean and easy to understand Creator Monetization, and won’t just suck it up and follow YouTube’s lead. The ONLY other company that got it right was Spotify… And TikTok had no end of problems making revenue sustainable for creators and won’t outright give creators 50% of Ad Revenue. All of them doing so would largely fix all of their problems. If a creator gets 1000 followers on a platform (or if you absolute have to make it 10,000 so be it) just give them 50% of ad revenue they generate and be done with it. Enforce strict 3 strike policies and make creators will police themselves. Give people physical awards and 100K, 1M and 10M follower milestones. Give monetized creators account support of some kind. Most problems for most platforms would literally be solved by this. As for organic vitality… they need to stop over engineering algorithms and dedicate 30-50% of your feed and all of your impressions from people you follow/subscribe to without any effort on your part. And if you turn on notifications, you should see any of that content as prioritized first in feed with no other effort. Also have a simple toggle to opt out of topics from your feed and the first toggle topic for that should be politics… And all political ads should banned from every single social media platform. I’d argue political content shouldn’t be eligible for monetization via ad revenue. (All other content would get more ad revenue if you demonetize politics because it would increase brand safety and confidence. I also say all sexualized content as well). Ironically blocking minors from having login accounts would automatically increase ad revenue, people don’t realize this but their RPMs would sky rocket…far beyond making up for any lost views and engagement … Doing what i outlined is all the platforms have to do to Make Social Media Great Again. Creators would make more money, people would b less divided, advertisers would be happy, platforms would make more money. The quality of content and engagement dramatically improves. Minors can watch content deemed appropriate for all ages, ads approved for all ages, and won’t be able to interact, thus curbing any addiction. Also if we stop ad blockers they will watch less, no addiction.

@robertoblake Which made the internet as a whole a better place imo. More likeminded people ,less engagement bait, less trolling. It was about people enjoying freedom, skill, and wanting to learn. Virtually everything was given for free without any desire to monetize it.

The real trenches were Excite Chat Boards… IRC Chats, AIM, Real Player, WinAmp, FLV Files, Virtual Dub, LimeWire, Angelfire, Xanga, Geocities, and FFMPEG, and MKV Files… You kids under 30 don’t know how good you had it… Back in our day, being in the internet was all about skill… Competency was a requirement.

@rumblevideo Hard to compete with other platforms when a creator that is in a clear niche STILL has no chance of getting traction, because their stuff is not found on your platform. What is going on here?

@robertoblake Thank you for the clarification! I completely misunderstood the numbers there.

@Feysulah1 .6% Globally (roughly 1M Total) 90K from the U.S., the largest market of creators by subscribers is India. U.S. is second. Brazil is third. 9% of success creators roughly are from the U.S.

HOT TAKE 🔥🔥🔥 When people say content creation is unsustainable… or the era of doing it full-time is coming to an end… I can almost sense that they are in a niche that not only relies on Ad Revenue but has a less than $10 RPM (revenue per thousands views) as it’s ceiling, instead of its floor, and low barrier to entry. Turning a fun hobby (fine to keep it a hobby) into a living, without actually turning it into a business (because fun matters more) is at the core problem of content creation not being sustainable for people who manage to break through the 10,000/20,000 audience ceiling. Which 97% fail to do. Among the 0.6% that get to 100,000 on YouTube, even those creators (90K+ of them in the U.S.) struggle to go full-time and stay full-time, because they refuse to (or don’t know how to) treat it like a business. I’ve seen people get 10M views and $10K a month and then crash and burn, because they needed it to be fun, and couldn’t work out the discipline to keep going and keep doing that was working. They can show up and do work that’s not always fun at a 9-5 job with someone else in charge, but not on their own.

You said: "Among the 0.6% that get to 100,000 on YouTube, even those creators (90K+ of them in the U.S.)" That is a HIGH percentage of US creators compared to the rest of the world. Why are US creators so over-represented in your opinion? If more than 90% come from just one country on a global platform. As a non-us creator, it makes me curious what the difference is and what the reason might be.

@Feysulah1 I don’t understand the question

@Support Can't create an account for a client? Using email to verify, putting in the code getting this error.

@0xCharlota How do you define the difference between being a freelancer and being a one-person agency?

hot take (?) more designers should try going freelance. fewer designers should try to start agencies.

let me give you the ultimate growth hack on X > do 1000 replies a day > write 5 articles a day > join 10 spaces a day > talk about "how to grow on X" all day what did i miss?

@Muktaak62859256 It's quite common sadly that with re-branding issues are introduced. Bad linking, broken links, wrong forwarding, etc etc. It's important to really watch out to not lose the authority. Also to get google to index it fast and update it.

Rebranding a beauty salon often hurts Local SEO quietly. Not because of the new brand. Because continuity gets broken. When names, URLs, and Google Business Profiles change together #LocalSEO #Rebranding #BeautyBusiness #GoogleMaps #LocalSearch

@5forleah Interesting site :D Found a few issues while checking it out - feel free to DM me if you want a few pointers what you might want to update for best practices. Wish you a lot of success though either way!
