Do you consider yourself one of my fans? Well, now you can support me on @Patreon to help cover the costs: youtube.com/watch?v=BDxefr… #Patreon

My last (long-form) @YouTube video of the year is, unsurprisingly, a bit of a self-indulgent retrospective. youtube.com/watch?v=qkUf2Z…

My latest @YouTube video has some advice for people in Germany who'd like to adopt a pet. Also, for those saddened enough by my cat's passing to want to do something, a few ideas. youtube.com/watch?v=qUu9Cp…

My latest @YouTube video is about boring or unreachable places that may or may not by mythical. youtube.com/watch?v=emufxd…

In my latest @YouTube video, I ask if Germany should ban fireworks. youtube.com/watch?v=O7E5t6…

Now on @YouTube, let's once more debate speed limits on German autobahns. youtube.com/watch?v=jgOJzt…

@TeamYouTube Thank you, yes: things do now appear to be back on track.

@rewboss this should be fixed now. appreciate your patience

Hey, @TeamYouTube, has anyone mentioned that view counts have been lagging for a couple of days now? In its first hour, my latest upload has officially got more likes than views.

On my @YouTube channel now: the Reichsbürger -- who are they exactly? youtube.com/watch?v=Zu19bc…

@TeamYouTube In fact, scratch the last, sorry: it's still happening, just less noticeably than previously. It's still taking up to 2 hrs for views to be counted. But I see you've answered somebody else to say it's a known issue you're still working on?

@TeamYouTube It does appear to be fixed now, thanks; but you linked me to a post over a month old?

@TeamYouTube In case this helps, here's a screenshot I took just moments ago. Pretty sure this isn't normal.

@rewboss appreciate this report, we're passing this along rn

@TeamYouTube I've noticed a very dramatic change recently: on the 48-hour real-time graph, the 2 or 3 most recent bars are always a fraction of what they eventually update to, sometimes as little as 1/10th. The 60-minute graph is totally useless, ranking by views also unreliable.

@rewboss this is actually part of how our system works. it helps to ensure we're counting views accurately. view counts *can* slow down or freeze as we verify they're real (from humans, not computer programs). more on this here: goo.gle/46eoA5m

And now on @YouTube, the answer to the question you've all been asking me: why can't I pronounce "Hamburg" properly? youtube.com/watch?v=T8LwhU…

Now on my @YouTube channel is a brief history of... my @YouTube channel. youtube.com/watch?v=BA_ejH…

My latest @YouTube video explains why a Bavarian politician was arrested, and what a "Burschenschaft" is. youtube.com/watch?v=-nDglY…

So... I had to re-upload my latest @YouTube video after I discovered that the original contained a stupid mistake. I accidentally libelled Erasmus of Rotterdam, so my profound apologies, and here's the corrected version. youtube.com/watch?v=z6KibI…

My latest @YouTube video is slightly Halloween-themed. youtube.com/watch?v=v13IkB…

Hey, @TeamYouTube, you might want to check some of your translations. This is what YT Studio asks me in Gernan when I want to see comments marked as potentially offensive. "Serie" means "show", but in the sense of a TV show. "Einblenden" is what you need here.

New @YouTube video alert! In this one, I explain why I pronounce the "g" in "Schleswig" funny, and it's all to do with a man called Siebs. youtube.com/watch?v=Y0Gn1c…

So, if you haven't already, please feel free to subscribe to my @YouTube channel at youtube.com/rewboss, where I hope to make more use of my Community tab in lieu of tweeting. Plus, I'm making loads of Shorts at the moment.

I am still maintaining my account here, and I do check in daily (at least until I can no longer stand it); I just don't have the time, energy or desire to be more active. If you follow me because you enjoy my output, YouTube is now where I'm pretty much exclusively at.

You may have noticed that I've not been posting on this platform so much recently. There are multiple reasons for that, so I'll try my best to explain.
