New video! Blaseball was a game of randomness and death and fire. So why was it, for many, so comforting?

The right decision. We can (and should) have discussions about how to responsibly handle disclosure and where 3rd parties fit into the process, but at the end of the day when something this serious comes to light, this is the proper response.

Probably? There’s not like lore or background you need to know, but it does really feel like a movie-length episode of the show

Movie of da year (It doesn’t reach the heights of Wilson’s show, mostly because the path from absurdity -> sincerity takes 100 minutes instead of 30. Still, a treat for video editors, and its profound interest in people remains wonderful)

It's telling that most YouTubers I know have reacted to the idea of this with utter *exasperation* lol. We like having the option to A/B test titles and thumbnails after having spent so long on PMG videos, but this ceaseless push towards data-driven optimization makes me want to crumble into dust.

A social media post from the YouTube Creators account, detailing a new feature coming to the platform. It reads:

"stop guessing what hooks your audience 🎣 with video A/B testing, you can test up to 3 edits of a Short or video simultaneously. review the stats, pick the clear winner, and seamlessly lock it in as your video.

launching to select creators in 2027."

There's two things happening here that are really interesting to me. First, I think Nathan's evaluation of what is happening on an operational level is likely 100% correct. Second, I think there is a plan but one that is boring to gamers and speaks to institutional investors.

P3R runs fine now. My (optimistic) guess is that they’re delaying P4R so it runs fine when it launches, and they don’t get a bunch of bad performance press again Then again, who knows

I hate how this makes it impossible to compare views with older videos from other creators. Like, it’s petty, but comparing my views to the early work of creators I admire felt instructive and sometimes inspiring Is this the most important part of the change? No! But it makes me sad nonetheless
