How to Win a Contest (Case Study)

ByNalts

ZackScott, one of my favorite fearless video creators, returns for a guest blog post about winning a recent Xlntads ProQuo contest (disclaimer: Zack and I both contribute to Xlntads as members of a “creative advisor board, and he wins contests while I think about them). Zack told me yesterday, “I’m hoping people think I’m such…

  17. hey mdj – renetto’s back! again!
    we need to get a pool going. any bets on when he’ll quit again and then come back?

    I still don’t know what a MILF is. I keep thinking milfshake.
    I’ll have to wiki it.

    I know it’s early Kev, but … click

  18. I commented on renutto’s latest Comeback video that I had known his most recent Goodbye video was a trick, jis. Also, I find it incredible (as in not credible) that Youtube “restored” all of Nutto’s deleted videos and playlists upon receiving an email from him. Does he really expect me to believe that Youtube stores separately all versions of our channels, pre and post self deletions from all dates?

    I’m still not sure what a MILF is, but I want one.

  19. What the hell is wrong with you people??? How can you not know what a MILF is?? It means Mothers I’d Like To Fart on.

  22. mdj I’d to know because you tube told me, on several occasions, they don’t have the capacity to store original videos so someone is lying

  23. According to an interview I seem to remember watching, I think it was Steve Chen that said they have stored a copy of all vids uploaded to YT before they were converted and that eventually they would all be converted over to HD when YT implemented the capability. I wouldn’t even want to proffer a guess as to what size their datacenters run, but i’m sure it’s impressive no doubt, and now with the backing of the GOOG I wouldn’t think something like that would be beyond their reach.

    Sukatra, glad I could be of assistance. Happy mothers day to all of the mothers out there.

  24. So either Steve Chen, the Youtube customer relations clerks jis talked with and/or Renetto is lying and/or manipulating the truth.

    That clears that up.

  25. Just speculation on my part MDJ…it’s quite obvious that partner accounts are maintained differently than regular user accounts, and given who renetto is and the standing he’s seemed to have with YT for so long, i’m just saying that I think it’s not outside the realm of possibility that they backed up the account on a regular basis. Going through the old videos all of the comments, ratings, responses; from the few I looked at they seem to be intact. Of course it’s also a likely possibility is that he set all of the videos to private and then just chose to make them all public again in a well orchestrated stunt, but we all know he would never do something like that. Really, all there are is questions, and there may be only one person that has answers.

  26. I don’t think they gave Renetto special treatment prior to his popularity, so there are a few options.

    1. Renetto lied or isn’t very smart and set them only to private.
    What say you Paul!? Remember you’re a Christian.

    2. You Tube or serverbeach.com burned all the RAID Servers and Tape Backups shortly after Renetto became popular and only saved his stuff for the sake of posterity.

    3. Google/YouTube doesn’t want to deal with the thousands of requests for original videos formats, not to mention the potential law suits, so they lie or obfuscate the storage issue, even to their employees.

    Bottom line: It’s compressed data, they probably used silos (wiki: tape library) and given that You Tube is now part of Google their storage costs are minimal. You Tube should also have on hand or have access to all the taped archives from servebeach.com. Google throws nothing away. I expect them to buy Yucca Mountain as a future archival storage unit.

    Just want to mention both Blip and Revver allow creators access to their originals.

    If Renetto did talk You Tube into replacing his deleted images then You Tube needs to provide that service to all of its users OR they should add a specific line stating they won’t in their TOS. Least until they face a law suit that says they must, then they will charge you for the service.

    One last thing, Google has dodged all sorts of potential privacy and copy right regulations simply because government can’t keep up with the changes in technology and they have some savvy lawyers. Google likes it that way.

    Do No Evil in the case of Google becomes very subjective.
    Did I mention Google wants to index your DNA? click!
    No room indeed! Knowledge is Power.

  30. Happy Birthday Kevin!

    Sonia, I voted for ya LOL good luck!

    regarding renetto…I don’t think he’s lying. He looked pretty upset with himself for removing the videos…like he cut his nose off to spite his face and now he seems really happy to have the videos back.
