    One time i watched an infomercial about a blender and the lady said that it cured her cancer because of how well built it was and how it chopped her fruits and vegetables in a way that made them twice as nutritious as eating them any other way.

    OBEYSQUIRREL reacted to LAwLz in YouTube Red, Will it Ruin YouTube Partners?   
    Do we really need another thread about this? We have already had like 4 of them and this does not bring anything new to the table.
     
    I've only watched a few minutes and he is already getting things wrong... Google will pay content creators for the first free month. Google never issued a statement saying that content creators would get nothing during the trial period. The only statement Google has made regarding the trial period is that they would pay content creators during it. He sounds very mad about something he is 100% wrong about.
     
    He also got the part about how the money is split wrong. It is based on the total amount all YouTube Red subscribers watch, not just your viewings. If you only watch a single video, your YouTube Red subscription money will still go to several creators. It won't all go to that single user you watched a video from.
     
    So out of the 2 things he has said so far, both have been wrong.
     
    Wow wow wow wow... Wait a minute. Now that he gets into the actual maths things goes crazy. What kind of ads is he serving if he gets 8 cents PER VIEW. And he claims that is the average amount youtubers get. How does he know that? I don't even get 8 cents per THOUSAND view.
    According to Socialblade Linus gets something like 700K views per day. That means he is making 56,000 dollars A DAY. That's with just the YouTube ads as well. Not counting sponsors. Does that sound realistic to anyone? It doesn't to me. Also, that's assuming that nobody ever clicks on an ad.
     
    The part about "TeamFourStar would get nothing" is also untrue. The logic he used to come to the conclusion that a user who got YouTube Red and watches TeamFourStar would result in TFS not getting anything is extremely flawed. His reasoning is that since that single video would not get above the minimum payout from Google, they just keep it. That's not how it works. Google does not say "you didn't meet the minimum payout so that money is ours now". They add it to your account and as soon as you get over the minimum payout limit you can get all the money you have earned so far. On top of that, his statistics are only based on a single user. TFS gets about 2.5 million views per abridge episode. Your view alone would not be enough to get them to the minimum payout threshold, but you and 2.5 million other views would once you add them all together. This is an extremely basic concept and he does not understand it.
     
     
     
    Anyone interested in some real stats that doesn't come from a guy which barely gets 100 views per video and got bullshit numbers?
    Total Biscuit recently tweeted about the impact YouTube Red has had so far on his earnings. He is now making about 7% more money. Very limited stats and it's not possible to say if it's all thanks to YouTube Red or some other factors, but it's real numbers and not guesses based on ludicrous estimates.

    I think this is a little different. Everybody I know always called it "Domino's" anyway, so instead of rebranding as something new they were just connecting with how their brand was seen and referred to as.

    This post is just about the mobile side of things.
     
     
    When I saw @LinusTech's video "32-bit vs 64-bit Computers & Phones as Fast As Possible" in my subscription box I thought "oh good, now I'll just be able to link to this video as soon as someone spreads misinformation about 64bit being useless oh phones". Then I watched the video and sad sadly disappointed.
     
     
    Well, that's wrong. Sorry Linus. Just a simple recompile to AArch64 will in fact give your application a substantial performance increase (will vary from app to app).
    Both you and I like Anand so I will link to his excellent comparison.

    That's not a joke. The textures ARE higher-resolution. That doesn't mean that they are better quality, though. If you have a 10000x10000 texture across an entire area of a map, it will look lower resolution than typical methods of texturing -- however, it will look more natural if done correctly, because you won't have a whole bunch of repeating textures.
    Watch this:

    It explains a whole lot about megatextures.

    OBEYSQUIRREL reacted to NInety in EA plans a "fundamental shift" in how it makes games, says CEO   
    Why don't people like paid DLC? I mean, devs make (for example) 3-4 maps for your multiplayer experience and add a few new mechanics here and there for a relatively low price. It keeps the game from getting old and they usually have a season pass sort of thing so you can get it cheaper. I just see it as a way to support the dev team so they'll make the next game better. Just my two cents.
