@matigo With the latest Comcast plans, they did away with the 1.2 TB a month cap, which they gave you a mulligan a couple times a year anyway. And, trust me, if there was a different option here, I'd choose a different ISP :P
Even though I downgraded my Internet speed for the same price I'm paying now, it's silly to pay for more than a Gigabit connectin when the connection to the modem is Gigabit Ethernet. Also, very silly to have a cap on how much data I can use, especially given the fact I'm uploading and downloading a whole lot more video now.
@matigo I had uploaded it before I figured out how to post it as an actual short version on YouTube [youtube.com]. A square version of it got uploaded to other platforms natively.
@matigo I haven’t done enough videos to say I’ve seen a trend, but it makes sense that, with everyone’s limited attention spans, that short videos would do better.
Then again, I have my most recent videos as an example. I’ve done zero marketing on the YouTube short (a version of which I uploaded directly to a few platforms) and it has more views than the longer form version…which I don’t think I have marketed properly at all. I’m not even doing any basic SEO, which I’ve always felt was just…wrong.
@matigo Video is also bandwidth intensive, which I'm sure you know.

Today's PhoneBoy Speaks Again is on…change your focus, change your future [youtu.be]. Also even a short [youtube.com] which I uploaded a few other places.
@nitinkhanna my other half ended up getting her phone forced into iOS 26…and yeah, she's regretting it.
@matigo no but they are things that are authentically you…and with AI generating everything these days, we need more authentic humans expressing themselves.

My other half started demonstrating cooking on YouTube. Her most recent one involves the Carne Asada Bowls [youtu.be] we had on Saturday.
Meanwhile, I have released another PhoneBoy Speaks Again on past, present, and future me/you [youtu.be].
