Meyer is for more miss than hit regarding utilizing IGG's updates to shill new campaign's. I haven't backed any of his books, so I don't know if he's emailing outside of IGG, but his underutilization of IGG's update feature to market his new books has to be negatively impacting his bottom line considering he does no other marketing aside from his YouTube.

I've gotten three different emails regarding his new project within the last week, all from projects I've backed from him, (Second Jawbreakers book, Iron Sights 1&2 bundle, and Jawbreakers 3) and only two of which have been delivered. I'd say he's pick and choose with which projects he email updates about, his Narzack books have been incredibly egregious about the email shilling, it would seem.

Too gay?

[EDIT: stream came back as soon as I posted]

I love that they axed the stream during the Jack Benny part right after Cecil said "Mistuh Benny, what's a Jew like you doin' celebratin' Chrimmus?"

I'm curious the mechanism for resuming streams that are shut down for a "policy violation". The stream was back online in the time it took to crop that screencap. Is there a strike involved when such a suspension sticks?

It seems that Google currently has the capability to detect when copyrighted material is being shown on a live stream and bring the stream down if so, but despite the scary message, it doesn't seem to count as a strike against the channel or bring the stream or its VOD down permanently. I've seen this happen once or twice before with other streamers and it's always been while they were playing a movie clip or something like that, an they're always back online within a minute or two. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

LOL I'm certainly not worried about it just curious how the streams get turned back on. Obviously an automated process took it down but does that same automated process turn it back on? Surely they don't have staff monitoring random livestreams in the middle of the night? Was a rep contacted? How does the streamer know to just sit there and wait for it to come back?
That sort of thing.

I was under the impression EVS was being pretty careful to show stuff in the public domain, although I'm not sure about the copyright status of what appeared to be a low quality kinescope of an old Jack Benny Christmas show. Either it was copyrighted or the Google machine had a knee-jerk reaction to it.

You can never be too careful with public domain. Sometimes the advice on what is public domain is just plain wrong. There have been a bunch of channels stroked to oblivion playing old cartoons that look trike they should be public domain but had rights renewed or are still copyright in other territories.

If I was to give the Frog advice it would be to stop those public domain shows. Not because of copyright worries but because they are dull and fucking shit.

Isn't every FROG show nowadays dull and fucking shit anyway?

Hit and miss. He’s insufferable when he’s leans into the boomer conservative thing too much. I find myself skipping the videos more and more these days. At least he seems to have stopped “tHeY aRe bEiNg nAsTy aBoUt mY zOmBiE jEw WiZaRd” stuff with the other boomers. Christ, they were doing regular cry sessions about Second Coming which was old news by the time it came out and no sane person cared about. Imagine their heads if they read Garth Enid’s stuff?
 
Let's try and brainstorm solutions for how Frog can revitalize his channel. Here are my ideas, and remember there's NO bad idea in a brainstorm, do NOT criticize these ideas or reject them out of hand! Just let them wash over you, absorb them into your consciousness uncritically. Okay, criticism off, let's go!

1. Agony Aunt! Frog listens to the romantic and sexual problems of CGers, and formulates strategies for them to cope.

2. Mental Health Consultancy! Frog listens to the rantings of CGers and attempts to diagnose their mental health defects.

3. Mystic Frog! Live psychic readings and fortune telling by Frog, for CGers who want to know their futures (and will believe anything Frog tells them). This one would be fun and easy for the imaginative Frog - and if anyone comes back and complains that his predictions didn't come true, he can always just shrug and say psychics aren't real, and he was just guessing.

Also, instead of his boring auctions, Frog could hold the occasional spooky seance, and attempt to communicate with passed-on comic legends such as Ditko, Kirby and Lee, and perhaps even secure from them a posthumous endorsement, like Liam got from Stan that one time.
