Hi, eBaums World

Oh, hi. Did you get here from eBaumsWorld? I’m on the homepage with this “Mall Pranks” video. I think I’d have spent more time making it if I knew it was going to keep getting views and features a year or so later. The YouTube version has almost 3 million views for reasons I can’t…
YouTube Changes Algorithm: Are Amateurs Losing?
ByNalts
YouTube clearly changed its algorithm for getting views. As you can see in the chart below, I’ve dropped from 320,000 views per day to 80,000. That’s a nice number, but 25% what it was just months ago. I was on a nice streak for a few months, and before that was anywhere from 100,000 to 400,000. I…
My Writing Staff for Online Videos

Says the article: “In the first challenge, set to run through August, users are invited to submit short videos, but they’re not limited to creating…
The MeBox Guy Flirts With You
ByNalts
All I’m saying is the MeBox guy is freaking me out a little bit. He’s just a bit too polished, and almost flirty. Plus the website uses cookies, so when I went back to fetch the link… he referred to “last time” as if we were on our second date. And let’s be perfectly clear….

I think he just stepped in over his head and his mouth wrote a check he can’t cash. No one was making money off of viral videos when he started up YouTube, so there was no business incentive to stop YouTube. There are business incentives to nip YouTunes in the bud, I think.
get eefoofed!
Towards what pointless end, eefoofer? Why would I submit myself to the vagaries of a bunch of 14 year-old moderators who are more interested in preserving their fiefdoms than driving traffic to the site?
Pffft,I’d rather floss (and if you’ve seen my teeth in one of my recent videos, you’d know that’s saying something!)
