Those who use DaVinci or similar, do you have pretty powerful computers? I am finding it freezes my MacBook Air more often recently. I think my processor and memory are maybe borderline, even for shorter videos.

This is crazy and I need to tell someone. I have another channel where I do tutorials and it’s been monetized for a couple of years now. But I also have another channel that just got monetized and it’s exploding. I was about to shut it down and then less than a month ago a video went viral and everything changed. I’m now at 25,000 watch hours and over 6k subs. It was sitting idle at 600+ subs when I was thinking of shutting it down. Then I did a video in a park sitting at a picnic table and it went nuts. That video has over 87k views now and I got monetized in less than a week after publishing it. The channel isn’t for everyone so don’t feel like you have to check it out and please don’t subscribe if it’s not your cup of tea. I’ll still like you. It’s something I started several years ago to document my journey out of religion. Not away from my faith but away from religious obligation. The channel name is The UnSunday Show (@unsundayshow). I have an audio podcast by the same name. Check it out if that interests you. I’ll always be Mike’s Retirement Corner in here. :)

I'm hitting 4 weeks now, with a new long form video coming out this weekend. This will be the longest time for me I think and while it's not ideal, I am OK with it. I've been wrestling with a couple of script outline-y thingy's for this and the next video and been tempted to just roll with an outline I had a couple weeks ago but then changed my mind. I've not yet filmed a video I wasn't 100% onboard with so why start now? And of course been enjoying doing group lives so that always fills my cup. What's your longest time without posting any videos and why? PS. Pinched this wall art idea from seeing this video from Peter McKinnon when he was visiting the Epidemic Sound studios! I made it in Canva - let me know if you want a copy and I'll drop it in here.

Today for the first time YouTube offered me the option of A/B testing. I chose to test titles but not thumbnails. Next time I may make different thumbnails to test. Have any of you tried this option? What feedback did you get?

Hello everyone. Over the past 4 days I've had a video that has begun to pick up a lot of views, almost 1300 the last I looked. I'm curious what to expect if anyone has had similar experiences? Does it flatline for awhile while YT figures stuff out and resurge or does it continue to get pushed out more and more? A friend that I know had a video go viral (it did get her monetized) about 8 months ago and mentioned that her's did not pick up momentum until day 26. What I have noticed since this interest in the video, is that my other videos have begun to surge as well. Any thoughts, tips, etc?
