Here is what I’m looking for - a self-hostable service that accepts YouTube URLs, downloads their audio versions, and appends those to a never-ending podcast RSS feed that one can hook to their podcast player.
It should be trivial to hack something like this on my own, but I’d rather ask than reinvent the wheel yet again.
I have a question for people with #YouTube and #PeerTube channels: what's your preferred viewer profile? YT + Patreon, YT Premium or PT + Patreon? How about people who don't have money and can only watch? Is YT giving you any money in those cases? I've been doubtful about watching on PT, because I don't support a lot of channel on Patreon, and I want to at least make people earn a few cents. /cc @janbeta@NoelsRetroLab@MoreFunMakingIt
@janbeta Yes, of course I don't expect algorithms on PeerTube. My thinking is this: I see people more prone to subscribe to channels than help the platform directly. Or maybe, you can't give money to a lot of different platforms (for whatever reason). So I think it's fair that a little money is given to the platform (PeerTube instance) if I subscribe to the channel. I would love to have this option, but from my research this is not an option right now.
@dmian Can’t speak for the others, but I’m planning to set up a monthly donation for MakerTube soon. (Struggling a bit at the moment so I had to delay it a bit.) Maybe (hopefully) other video makers are doing the same. Kind of an indirect way to support the platform as a viewer, I guess. I’m really glad that there are people offering their PeerTube instances for free, definitely not cheap to run with those massive video files. :)
Jak na ironie (a moze perfekcyjny timing) #ZadnyPrzygod wrzucil wlasnie dzisiaj na swoj kanal film z eksploracji #ZACHEM.u, jednego z najbardziej skazonych terenow poprzemyslowych w Polsce 😂
Sometimes I think starting a YouTube channel would be fun, but then I realize I don't know what I would talk about in a YouTube video 😆😅 :blobcatcamera: 1/
Wenn ich die in letzter Zeit plötzlich auftauchenden #Kettenwachs Videos auf #YouTube anschaue, dann scheine ich irgendwas seit vier Jahren falsch zu machen:
@steviesyerda YouTubbe throws at me lots of cars-and-weapons shit, to the exclusion of much else. I don't get much conspiracy shit. But clearly YouTube has a very America-centric idea of what older white men are interested in.
One of the most celebrated horror films of all times, a true ancestor of the entire film and TV horror genres, is 1932's "The Mummy" starring Boris Karloff in the performance that effectively launched his career. I will freely admit that when I first saw this movie on television as a child, I found it to be very disturbing indeed. And even watching it now, approaching a century since it was made, it's easy to see why.
This masterpiece has just appeared on #YouTube Movies & TV, free in the U.S. I recommend it very highly. But this protip: As characters in many other films learned over the years, and which first became apparent in this film, reading a cursed incantation out loud can be hazardous to your health and sanity. You have been warned.
And I must add, see how amazingly well a film can work with almost no musical score at all -- mainly just some orchestration between scenes and during a few particularly dramatic sequences. It's stunning.
Anyone know a real human I can talk to at #YouTube? Their contentID dispute UI is a blatant lie (yes, you CAN get a copyright strike even if you only dispute, and Japanese companies will almost always do that)
I either want the strike gone or the working fixed, you can't just have your fucking UI lie to people.
Do you have any favorite no-copyright music playlist or artist? Will you share it with me?
Preferably electronic without vocals (vocalization OK) + a little more energetic than lo-fi.
I'm looking for music to use with my travel video and I'd love to use something less known. I always end up on the same usual suspects like NCS / Epidemic Sound / Monstercat and I can recognize them without looking. I want to break the bubble.
@lukem I use Streambeats by Harris Heller. It’s free to use, copyright free, and available on all the major streaming platforms. Lots of genres to choose from as well.
I'm going to back off a wee bit on my general criticism of #YouTube "reaction videos", at least as far as Hitchcock's masterpiece "North by Northwest" (1959) is concerned.
The film blows away every reaction individual, pair, or group that I've come across watching it. In most cases, they've simply never seen a film like this before, and are staggered by it in pretty much every respect (including the fact that, of course, there's no CGI). But really everything about it impresses them, as it should. And they all are amazed at a complex plot and what is indeed a most remarkable transition at the very end, from hanging on a cliff to a berth on a train. Probably the only transition that beats it is the flying bone in "2001: A Space Odyssey."
And you also can see some of them noting with disdain that so much of what they've seen during their lives was obviously just copying of themes that originated in films like North by Northwest, and now excited to see other films from back then.
Which if nothing else, tells us how the film industry of recent decades has failed young people (yeah, and everyone else too) so dismally.
@arth Lawrence is arguably the finest overall film ever made. However, to watch it properly, it really needs to be viewed in a good theater with a fresh 70mm print and an excellent sound system. I viewed it once in such a venue with its editor Anne V. Coates in attendance. She noted there was only one process shot in the entire film (involving the sun at a very low angle, I believe). The one of a kind long lens made for the film to shoot the "arrival at the well in the desert" scene still resides, as far as I know, in the Panavision HQ lobby a short drive from where I'm sitting. It's important to remind people NO CGI in that film!

The classics keep popping on #YouTube Movies & TV. Another one (as before, free in the U.S.) has apparently just surfaced. And it's a biggie -- 1960's "Spartacus". Mostly directed by Stanley Kubrick, it's arguably Kirk Douglas' most important role. Running more than three hours, it's one of the uber-great historical dramas, about an escaped gladiator who takes on the entire Roman Empire, and is based on an actual slave immortalized in historical texts from the period. If you've never seen this wondrous film you should. And if you have, it's probably time to see it again.
My husband just uploaded a video he made sharing the plot of #SmashBrothers brawl! Give him some love in the comments, and constructive criticism is invited!
I have something over 8000 #YouTube videos on my Favorites lists. My YT viewing history is ... I don't know how long. Enormous. I've been watching YT since it began.
A standard refrain in YT videos these days is the voice over entreating you to "Like and Subscribe (and click the Bell!). Like and Subscribe. Like and Subscribe.
Last night, for the first time ever in memory, I saw a video that said,
"Please like or dislike, so we can improve."
I stopped dead staring at the screen. Did they really say "like or DISLIKE"? I must have misheard. Nobody mentions the possibility of disliking their video.
@lauren On a related note... My wife has a cousin who with his wife is raising two boys. Rather than engage them in play, the parents just hand them a mobile device to "calm them down." When one of the kids was two, one night they put him to bed and he said "like and subscribe."
I had to check the end of about a dozen #YouTube "reaction" videos of Generation [N] watching Hitchcock's "North by Northwest" (1959) before I found one where they appeared to "get" the gag Hitch used as the very last shot in the film (the train into the tunnel). This is what comes of too much time on smartphones, one suspects.
@rdm More generally, it's almost impossible to find any stupid joke idea that hasn't been made into a YT video at some point. See: "Mr. Beast" for example.
Yesterday I noted here that the classic film "Alien" had appeared for free (U.S. only) on #YouTube Movies and TV. Today I noticed another classic SF film pop in also free on the same basis: "It! The Terror From Beyond Space" (1958). This is the story of a spaceship on Mars that unknowingly leaves with a creature before heading back to Earth -- a deadly creature that starts picking off the crew one by one ... Sound familiar? In fact, this film is generally considered to be a direct inspiration for "Alien". It's tightly scripted and claustrophobic (also unusually short, only an hour nine minutes), and very much a science fiction classic in its own right. Highly recommended! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uhTlu7Ps0k
