Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Linus Defends Youtube Again”.
The actual topic, Following last week’s leadership change YouTube, has announced a series of new features, including experimenting with a new 1080 premium. Sorry, not I was going to say 1080p premium, but it’s 1080 premium. Video quality with a higher bit rate. Despite concerns, YouTube does not currently appear to intend to decrease the quality of the current 1080p setting to encourage paying for the premium version, but the new 1080 premium will run at 13 megabits per second instead of 8 megabits per second with unpaid 1080p. I’M sure it’s still variable, I think that’s just like a general Target yeah.
I don’t think this is just an average. For the last year, a small group of creators has been testing a new dubbing system soon to roll out more broadly, which adds the option to create multiple dubbing tracks on a single video similar to the current system for subtitles, rather than having to create a different Video for each language, I believe we were part of that beta, say that includes us. We have we have tested it. I’M really excited about it. I think uh. I I ping Dead about it earlier this week and I think I was told that the the first like integrated into the workflow video is going to be very very soon.
Let me just have a quick. You know what I might have talked to him in person. I think it just popped in on him. So nope I don’t know, I don’t have it on my. I don’t have it on my phone, but I think we’re going to be ready to roll out.
I think we’re doing Spanish. First, don’t quote me on that, but I’m pretty sure, because that’s what most of our initial testing was done on, it will also be possible to designate tracks and videos as podcasts in YouTube Studio, as well as adding them to YouTube music. Oh okay, Dan’s! Not there! So um, I guess I don’t really know a chair.
Uh chair secret Labs, chair nope. I guess he didn’t make it in time. Uh we’re done! Having this conversation, sorry, okay, I have a sweater on screen. Do you have any idea how our podcast platform uploads work, because I don’t even know I have recently found out because we didn’t know yeah uh, so podcast uploads are handled by Sven, that’s random, very random, yeah, going to change yeah that doesn’t make any sense yeah. I I only just learned this: oh okay, we’re looking into it. There might be some reasons stuff like that, but it’s also like not automated reasons like that. We rolled a 106 sided die and it landed on Sven, like I think you have been chosen.
I think maybe things like Spotify, you are the one percent, I think. Maybe things like Spotify might get different ads than other platforms. That’S correct, yeah.
There are specific ad reads for Spotify and then because our ad reads are a variable length and at variable points in the video I see it can’t be automated it’s just whenever I feel like doing it and also for a different amount of time right, because you Don’T you wouldn’t do it for like okay for the exact next 90 seconds, no matter what we are doing an ad like a section of ads like it’s not structured like that right, so you can’t really automate it. So that means, if there’s a long weekend, it’s not going to be up on podcasting platforms until Tuesday, by which point you might as well just start watching Clips, because you know who has time to watch like a four hour podcast. So we’re like hyper we’re hamstringing our own podcast yeah, it’s kind of hilarious. How Wan show is, as far as I can tell actually an enormous podcast yeah, and yet we do everything we can to make try to make it so impedance success yeah.
I don’t know man, I put these wrinkles here on purpose. You guys know that right, oh yeah, it’s brutal uh, but yeah. I I think the irreverence is why they like it. I I want it to be automated in some way. It’S a feature. I just don’t know if it can be because of how we structure the ad spots unless we started doing like we have the timer right.
So unless we started doing okay, this the but there’s some amount of variance in the recording start in the recording end. So it’s always going to be a little odd. I don’t know if there’s some way where we could automatically splice out if we started being really rigid about the duration of AD spots and when we did them and stuff like that yeah. But we don’t want to do that so like it keeps coming back to.
If we learn how to use this, the word we to mean Linus uh. If we did after a while um, if, if you hey, I stopped signing things for you is that I have you, though uh yeah, because now I I can just sign things as myself. On behalf of the company, we just we just changed that um uh.
What was I gon na say? I’M not hearing any of this uh but yeah. If we want to have custom ads on those platforms, it’s going to have to be manual just to some degree. Um yeah dark 24 says no line is it is not why we like it some of us tolerate it, because nothing will change. No matter what we say you being a troll is not funny. Why am I laughing? Then it’s been.
It’S been enough time. Statue of limitations, whatever I don’t think a week – counts, hey hey, come on. Oh geez sign my screwdriver yeah at LTX, I’ll sign everyone’s stuff as Linus. There we go. Oh I’m sorry, okay, yeah, I’m doing great and then .
