Living free. I walk 15 km every day, work alone from home clicking buttons on a screen, and carry a camera everywhere I go. Writing at https://t.co/C81NyVLtPA

Stop using your family members to create multiple AdSense accounts
Never thought this would have to be said but there are a lot of sub 18 year olds trying to make it on YouTube - this is the reality:
You are shifting the tax liability to them. They are the ones making the money on paper. If you are planning on earning more than a couple dollars, why put unwilling family members at risk?
You also need to understand that AdSense is not the only issue here. YouTube can detect IP/fingerprints etc
If you want to go that route - you are better off creating a new company for each AdSense account and going about it the legal way.
Can’t afford to do that?
Then you’re probably not at the stage where scaling is an issue, so don’t waste precious time complicating things

Hulk Hogan on Netflix by Bryan Storkel has one of THE best docuseries endings I've ever watched.
- Very strong and relatable quotes
- Legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog
- Unbelievably inspiring score by Michael James Lee (Listen to "Father Time" on Spotify - I'm listening on repeat for days now)
I must have watched it over ten times already. Gold!

@JimMakos Maybe Google knows that this is not a wise move 😉

This image is completely unknown to kids today (or at least to mine).
I don’t remember ever eating strawberries WITHOUT sugar as a child.
At the same time, my daughter has never eaten strawberries WITH sugar.
The new dietary trends have eliminated something I saw as completely normal, and now I genuinely wonder why we used to do it, as if strawberries needed to be sweetened to be edible!

During my morning walks, a Gentleman with a capital “G” feeds cats every day while rummaging through the trash.
Seeing a kind act happening right in front of you makes you want to start your day doing only good things, plus it just feels so good to witness kindness around you.
So you never know how far your actions echo, even when you think no one is watching!

And right as I'm recording the next episode about what kept me from quitting and made me continue tracking my calories for the past 4 years, subscriber number 3,000 just joined my Greek channel. Exactly one year ago, we were at most 300 people. How could I possibly not hit that record button right now?! Onwards and upwards.

Finding new interview setups has become one of my favorite exercises in documentary filmmaking.
I always start with the topic, which dictates the space where I’ll place the cameras. First I set up the light from the side that “appears” to be naturally lighting me. Then I place cam-A, the straight-to-camera shot, always making sure it has an angle relative to the key light. Finally, I set up cam-B for the close-up shot, always shooting from the shadow side.

My external Crucial SSD started writing really slowly a few weeks ago.
So I stopped saving any new files on it, and as soon as I finished the last video edits that were using files stored on this drive, it was finally time to erase/format it.
After a quick check, I’m 99% sure I’ll format it as APFS instead of ExFAT because I use it exclusively on Mac for video editing in DaVinci Resolve.
Fingers crossed I don’t regret it.
