What does it mean to treat something like a business? More importantly, how can you help others who have never owned a business know what this means. Music provided by: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music #Business #TreatItLikeaBusiness #Opinion #Contemplation #PhenixJiRa

Too Many Ads on YouTube12:42
Too Many Ads on YouTube

Recently I started keeping a log of the amount of ads on YouTube videos. I found that the amount is as bad or worse than watching television. At the time of uploading this, my very first video (All White Underwear Scene) was posted less than 3 months ago. As of today it has 105 views and YouTube has already attached ads to it. The threshold for attaching ads (100 views) and the point where a creator is monetized (1000 subs/4000 hours), is a very large gap. Using this video as an example and my current standing, I need hundreds of subs and another 3,988 more public views on my channel. In the meantime, any ad revenue goes 100% to YouTube.

Is there someone in your life who is always right? How about someone who feels they are always wrong? It makes for a very empty sort of relationship.

I've been on the board of an HOA to keep tyrants from telling me how to use my own property. I've also had to fight an HOA in order to build a fence. They have their place but I prefer not to live in an HOA community. Music provided by: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music #HOA #Contemplation #Opinion #Musing #Philosophy #PhenixJiRa

Is there ever a time when it's too late to do something or take on a new hobby or adventure? This thought brought on some inner struggle for me regarding the "it's never too late" comment people make but also brought me to a surprising conclusion. This was actually the first video I created for this channel so I had no idea how I wanted to end the video or anything like that... I'm done with that thought!

I was shocked to find out Red Robin uses soybean oil to cook their french fries. I was even more shocked to find out what else they do. Watch my video to hear my findings after I researched the FDA against what Red Robin claims regarding soybean oil.

What happens to us after we die? Does our consciousness continue or do we face oblivion in a vacuum of nothingness? What about reincarnation? Just some random thought that popped into my head... oh joy! Music provided by: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music #Contemplation #Opinion #Musing #Philosophy

How often do we really forget something vs choosing not to remember? Do we choose not to remember out of pride or embarrassment? Perhaps there was trauma involved? In this video I give some personal examples ranging from not remembering to exercise, forgetting an important event when I was 12 years old and blacking out while riding a bucking bronco horse.
