Been a while since I made a new Shorts video and tinkered with the video AI tools.
This one is on my YT and my TT.
YT link below if you want to check it out:

New Shorts video using a new stack.
Friendly reminder that if we have connected here, we should also connect other places and vice versa.
Tough time in the industry rn and I want to try to help support the work of everyone who is still here, regardless of what platform it is on.

Final video for now, seeing as Sora is going away.
Always open to suggestions for future videos. I have found it enjoyable to use this new outlet to discuss my mental health.
Hey @neynar, any suggestions for how to make better videos for internet distribution going forward?

To celebrate the sunsetting of Sora, I want to share my metrics from my newly non-ghost-town YouTube channel.
Before Sora, I really had not posted much to my YouTube channel at all. As a writer who likes their privacy and hates being on camera, it is hard to come up with video content for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Around the beginning of February, I got the idea to start using Sora to jumpstart my YouTube channel.
In two months, I was able to get almost 50,000 views, 34 subscribers, and over two full days of watch time for my mental health Shorts videos from a channel that started at literally zero.
I transparently haven't felt great the past couple of months mentally, and this was a nice pet project to focus my emotional thoughts on and channel them into (pun intended). Writing blog posts is nice, and I enjoy them, but this was a nice change of pace. One big plus was that it didn't require nearly the amount of time physically sitting down in front of a computer, since I can prompt from my phone, but I don't write long-form on my phone.
I had set a goal to get this channel to 100 subscribers by the end of 2026. I hope to keep that goal (and crush it), but I am going to take some time to figure out my next steps on how I want to do video going forward.
Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome; I want to hear about what you've tinkered with and what your thoughts are.

Today's Short focuses on Daylight Savings in America.
Sorry about all the links lately. My videos are not finding the algo at all, averaging less than 10 views, and Gemini told me in its analysis of my account that sharing and driving my own traffic could help to fix the problem.

If you have Android, here is the Youtube game changer:
1. Get F Droid store
2. Download Tubular
3. Enjoy aaaalll the YouTube features you didn't even know you wanted.
Listen in the background, autoskipped commercials, resizeable pop out window, autoskip self promotion and hidden commercials...and those are only the ones I love and use frequently.
Examples attached are from "MKBHD Auto-Focus - Our favorite cars of 2025"
