YouTube Shorts prompt to make one

Opened up ye olde YouTube and boom 😩

It’s obviously worth using Shorts, but I maintain that simply reposting your random other-network vids there is not in the spirit of YouTube. There should always be a relevant full video linked to - the Short as a preview.

Just got another one haha 🥴

Meant to post this overnight after readying for one - #NewMusicFriday and such - but sleep was a better idea!

I really do love album release days for clients. In some cases I’m up late waiting to create smart links and stuff - *COUGH* time zones *COUGH* - but it’s a big moment that’s always a joy to be part of, all good 🙂🤘

This'll work well when dealing with ICE because they slap your phone out of your hand when trying to record them. But that's probably the only use for them.

Relentless self-serving Meta notifications on Facebook

Burn, Meta

Context does matter, but if content is clearly account-driven misinformation or hate, 50 seconds of it is too much to stay up, let alone 50%.

As disinformation and hate thrive online, YouTube quietly changed how it moderates content | CBC News YouTube, the world's largest video platform, with 20 million videos uploaded each day, appears to have changed its moderation policies to allow more content that violates its own rules to remain onlin...

“The change happened quietly in December…training documents for moderators indicating that a video could stay online if the offending material did not account for more than 50 per cent of the video's duration — that's double what it was prior to the new guidelines”

🌊🚶‍♂️

The heydays of MuchMusic and MusiquePlus were so good, might not have watched a single other
channel more often back then. RIP Juliette, way too young to go.

Spotify publishes pointed payout stats for Canadian artists “Canadian artists are thriving on Spotify – and the world is listening,” is the bullish headline for the streaming service’s latest country-specific breakdown of its payout stats for 2024. And in this particular country, the message is aimed squarely at local politicians and regulators. The key numbers: Canadian artists’ Spotify royalties grew by 5% last year to nearly $460m CAD ($336.4m at current exchange rates).

So excited to have been featured in @post-punk.com.web.brid.gy a fav publication of ours.

Lol you know what...let's say the geese are railing against toxic social media. What's good for the geese is good for Gander!

I can't find if this is actually a thing, but I like to think that the post 9/11 kindness of Gander, NL residents was an inspiration for the name.

Gander graphic received post-signup to show that it happened

Signed up for early access to @gandersocial.bsky.social and do enjoy how the “nice” new social network uses maybe our meanest animal in this graphic, haha.

I hope this works out, totally up for new options that hopefully don’t corrupt themselves eventually (and something based here rocks already).

New Dropbox AI calendar notification

Oh no not you too @dropbox.com

Will go well with all the bots the site has commenting now 👎

I like this for artists - sadly probably one of the best uses of this platform for them, since microblogging is definitely more of a simply-because-you-enjoy-it deal.

That glitch (🤞) grid’s pictures actually look too tall to be 4:5 anyway, come to think of it…not enough to be 9:16 though like reels. It’s only 8:46pm at HQ but still, go to bed, lol.

Facebook fan page showing usual posts feed

Lmao they’re back to normal now? Here’s the same page referenced in the last pic, for fun.

Lord knows Meta can’t help screwing with things constantly, but yes please let that have been a glitch.

Guess there’s no need to account for both networks when making graphics though, that’s something 🤷

New Facebook profile grid with 4:5 ratio pictures, not full posts

Well this is what a given Facebook page looks like now, aligned with Instagram’s recent switch to 4:5 ratio grids rather than full posts. It’s not just a freakin visual site bah 🤦‍♂️

Keep on walking in the free world, and shoe-shoedle-shoe-shoe…

Definitely a better call made here than as an MLB umpire

Meta AI notification about asking it to imagine things

Oh and immediately another new episode of WTF Social, binging this morning!

TikTok notification about the ability to upload 60-minute videos

Okay sure thing YouTube, lol

It is still Bandcamp Friday.
