Some actual YouTube Guru advice I just saw on LinkedIn (the use AI to brag about your business skills social network).
"Quality > Quantity, so post once a week."
If you're a new YouTuber, the best piece of advice I can give you is to block every YouTube Guru channel.

Here's my CES Omnibus video. Don't miss two major points: first an AI product that is seven levels of disgusting (from a company that won awards for its kid product a few years back) and the best product in the show due to actually solving a problem.

I want smart glasses to be a thing so much, but the more I play with them the more I realize that we're just not quite there. The tech we need is **just** outside our reach right now, and even when you nail that... the software that powers them is crucial. Getting every facet right is difficult.

Wow so Ars Technica is hiring.
I love and adore what I've built on YouTube.
But when I originally started writing for a living it was with a dream of someday writing for Ars.
Hm.

Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't let me know they used this video to fix their Vector robot. I consider it one of my most successful videos, not because of how many views it has... but because of how many people it helps.

Dear every "YouTube growth expert" spammer ever. We too know how to use the VidIQ extension, which means not only are you offering me absolutely nothing of worth... we can also tell when you fudge the numbers to make them look worse in your screenshot.
Signed, every YouTuber.
P.S. nobody likes you.

New video! I thought, maybe it's time to show my desk. Because honestly it's pretty epic. At least I think it's epic.
Feel free to ask questions about it! Happy to talk about how I made the desktop, or how I'm going to fix warping issues, etc.

Hello @pimoroni.com! I have a popular video about the last gen Inky Impression that's been covered in several news outlets (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kniu...) but obviously those are discontinued in favor of the new models. What's the chances the new models will "just work" ?
