I wish he'd make his videos shorter. Some of us only have 15 min long attention spans. Not sure why you'd buy all those dehydrated food bucket things when you can literally go to the dollar store and buy bags of flour for 1.25.

I began watching him when he would do his 10 minutes videos. I think having a time constraints would do him wonders since it would prevent him from rambling about his hard his life is and telling the same stories
Also, avoid talking about subjects he knows nothing about. He comes of worst than quarterpounder but at least he admits when he's wrong

Problem is that would cut into his revenue and algorithm. The longer the video is, the more youtube likes it in many cases and the longer it is the more ads you're more likely to show. Normally volume of views would balance out ads in terms of length, but ad blocker does introduce a variable in the mix and a viewer who watches the full video without the ad block on is oddly valuable. This might be a little power level on my end but I did have a monetized channel on youtube, nothing special, just wanted to talk about a hobby, and while I was a tiny channel I can tell you that if you play around with when ads are presented as you have full control over them if you don't want to let it auto generate a video that's 30 minutes long will make way more than one that's 10 minutes long,
I think it's because the same handful of people are watching the video without ad block, so you're really only monetizing a small segment of your audience, meaning that you're really only generating money from ads off of a small pool of people. Now granted, my monthly payout was something like 100$ at most, but even then if I ever looked at the numbers it was rather clear.
I stopped watching last week because I couldn't handle Ian "Fiat Money" and the beenie babbling over good guests.
Seeing the screen shots here I can tell I'm not missing anything.
A random negro woman with metal stuck in her face going by a single name and this pasty complete zero I remember from a while back. I remember he had no personality and mostly sat there while the 35 year old adolescents talked.

Tim fucked up when he changed his work schedule. He went from 2 video of 30min and 3 vids of 15min to 1 vid of 30min and 2 of 25min. The shorter segments are (were claimed to be) smaller stories and they often don't need 25min. Hell you could probably explain them in under 15min, like Styxhexenhammer often does.
Tim feels the need (I don't know why) to make sure his vids are as close to the allotted time as possible. If you can explain something in 12 minutes, then end it there. No need to add 13min of rambling to pad the video out to 25min.
(correction: I just checked bc memory is unreliable. Timcast channel used to do 3 segments of 10min, 2 segments of 20min. Tim Pool channel did 1 vid that was 25-30min)
Makes sense. As clueless as Tim may be about a lot of things, he is a grand wizard when it comes to YT. He knows the algorithm about as good as anyone can and is a master of monetizing his content.
That's why I find it so odd that he did his network the way he did. If he built a YT network, kind of like a federated MCN, then he could have done a lot to help people's careers, create a lot of inroads for collaborations and he would have a ton of avenues for exclusive content.
Speaking of federations, how much longer is it going to take Tim's fediverse project? It's not even original software. It's a streamlined installation bundle of open software and he's been talking about it for a fucking year. I'm guessing it's going about as well as their proposed D&D show, which is a whole other subject unto itself. (Ian: D&D's about creating a collaborative story. Tim: You're wrong. It's about having fun.)

Once again Tim proves his lack of knowledge about nuclear power. Chernobyl losing power =/= a nuclear meltdown.
Also apart from Timcast and the other segment Tim himself makes, how are the other things under his banner doing? I know that pop culture show is dying in the viewership and everyone keeps tearing into the female host for being a dumbass.

His conspiracy show is moderately successful. He probably only shills it to his audience which may not have an interest in conspiracy theories. If he was smart he'd shill it on Twitter instead of just trying to be LOLSORandom. His pop culture show is still dead since that already has people doing it without Tims autism. His cast castle show is doing okay but he hasn't updated it in a week. Cops probably told him not to show off his compound since it can be mapped. He should probably focus on starting prospects that don't require much, since at this pace he won't ever compete with Netflix (lol)

Conspiracy content is buried by the algorithm. Even the most harmless shit. Alltime Conspiracies received millions of views and they still had to shut down.

Okay sincere question. Is this Tim being dumb or being intentionally misleading for shock value? I could see him doing either when he's at his worst.

Youtube is a very interesting business once you dig into it, and I do agree that he could have done way more to build up his network than he's been doing. Hell, even Doug Walker could figure out that you can just have people audition from wherever and then pick up shows you like to produce content independently with your promotion at no cost to yourself instead of hiring on a bunch of randos and hoping it works out as you sink more and more money into that money pit.
The problem with Tim's fediverse idea is that like you said it already exists, in that you can already buy a package that lets you make a website easily and throw in whatever payment process you want on it. Right now when I buy something on a small stores website it just opens a box and asks how I'd like to do the transaction, Paypal, credit card, whatever and I can just pick which one I want and it does it without issue. What Patreon and other services did was make it easy enough for a brain dead chimp to set up what's essentially a website of that nature. So Tim either needs to make it even easier or to just provide a cheap service that does it for you.
I think he mentioned in a recent something that the D&D show was dead because everyone was too rogueish and it didn't lend to good story telling. That probably just means people didn't want to just do what Tim demanded they do in the adventure it and annoyed him. I haven't played a ton of D&D but the few times I have there were always dumbasses and part of the game was just figuring out how to compensate for them being retards.
I wouldn't say the conspiracy show is doing well at all and has a decaying audience. The first couple episodes received about 30k views declining with each episode and now it's struggling to break 10k views. To give you an idea 10k views is about 40$ in cash after Youtube takes its cut, maybe a little more as they are 30 minutes to an hour but not that much more. It's also a bad sign when you get 30k subscribers in half a year and your videos are struggling to break 33% of that as you're still a new and growing channel and the people who initially subscribed are probably still around unlike people who might have joined a year or more ago.
Pop Culture Crisis is actually doing better than Tales from the Inverted World, despite being a dead show. Yes, they only get a few hundred views an upload but they shit out content so frequently it adds up, and when you're producing something that very few people watch it's better to have a lot of it to make the best out of the few people who like you. I added up all of the views they had for videos uploaded 2 weeks ago and it totals 14,915 views which means they are probably doubling the views and revenue of the other show. Looking at Social Blade, Tales from the Inverted World has a total of 184k views roughly in their 5 months, while Pop Culture Crisis has 206k views in their 3 months. Now granted, one has uploaded 12 videos and the other has put out 352 videos. Both shows suck though.
Not sure what the deal is with Cast Castle, maybe Tim kicked out his brother again for being a retard.

From the IRL show yesterday, Tim wonders why YouTube hasn't shut him down not realizing is because he goes along with the narrative and everyone that questions it has been banned. He compares buying multiple cars for spare parts to fucking video games. Says he has no problem living in a pod and eating bugs and bought a kitana incase of the apocalypse. Apparently he did do a coverage of the peoples convoy but he failed to advertise it and didn't even put it on YouTube, where he's made it clear it's where he made his business.

I have no insider knowledge, but if there's one thing I know about Tim is he's not as tech literate as he likes to say he is; he may have hung out with guys who were and learned bits and pieces from them, but he's not as sharp as he'd like people to believe. Can't make heads or tails on Ian, but he's apparently the most tech literate (on top of being a futuristic sperg); but he's also drugged out of his fucking mind and like most hippies, I'm assuming his work ethic isn't that strong, even if it's just having so many things going on, he can't focus on one. Outside of that, he'd have to hire competent people to make a better software suite and that isn't cheap.

Ian tech literate. That's hilarious.
He has a degree in theater arts and his position at Minds wasn't technical he was a forum moderator. You should have seen the first time the founder of Minds was on. He was pretty laid back about it but he shut down Ian's bullshit really quickly and you could see Ian just deflate.
This is an idiot who reads Popular Science and breathlessly regurgitates articles.
Look back in my posts I akshully do have a degree in Economics (making me equally as brilliant as master persuader Scott Adams) and I want to puke at his speils on The Fed and the Reserve Ratio. Absolute bullshit delivered with absolute certainty.
Except for his drugged out rant on "Building a ladder to the Moon". That sounds spot on.
How certain am I of this? I was willing to post about it rather than retiring this account with 666 posts
