This "engaged viewer" AI slop change has got to go. They say that I need a minimum of 15s viewed to count as an engaged view for revenue. I had 61% of people still watching after 43s on this video, but they only paid me for 37% of the total views. Normally a video like this would earn $70~$90 🙃

One more thing! I have played on the six indoor maps (112) more times than I have played on Autohaven, Coldwind, and MacMillan *combined* (101).

Mae's DBD Stats update! Since February 9th, I have played 516 games of 1v4 DBD (277 Killer, 239 Survivor). In those games, I have played on every map a minimum of three times, with Greenville Square being my least frequent map (3).

After the PTB changes dropped for DBD, I've mostly been sitting on my hands waiting for them to come to live servers...

*takes a swig of beer* Apocalypse stories are boring because most of them operate off of ableist and patriarchal premises. It's all "one guy does right by his nuclear family, and we will never once use this platform to point out how our former society horribly mistreated women and disabled persons."

Ah, so it turns out they're not counting views the same. Externally, I have a video that has 19k views, but my analytics say it only has 8k views, so they're only paying me for the 8k. Dumbass system.

I have a conspiracy theory that I don't get a job because I click "decline to answer" on the demographics. Real talk though, if you were interested in diversity in your company, wouldn't you hire me based on my qualifications, and therefore not need me to submit demographic info in my application?

Well, I emailed the person that was supposed to be leading both of these on Monday, and I went to the designated buildings and times as they were listed on the website. I never got an email back and neither club was present :<

Happy 25th anniversary of that time that 3000 Americans died in a terrorist attack, leading the United States to justify killing over 1 million people in foreign sovereign states, and using that propaganda to turn the country into an oppressive surveillance state.

Ohhh my God, fuck off, I am not installing your dogshit app to "verify that I'm human." Last time I did, the app *being installed* caused my phone to overheat and shut itself off. I just want to look at my bookmarked articles.

"I believe in you," I say to the car salesman, my hands resting on his shoulders. He looks up at me, eyes wet with tears of joy. "Go. Be the reason that everyone hates buying a car."

Americans are weirdly and aggressively territorial, and I mean that in a physical sense. Near my last house, there was a gas station right next to a grocery store in a connected parking lot, and the gas station put up massive traffic cones to prevent people from driving between both businesses.

If I were in a presidential race, I'd be disqualified for being born in Canada, defrauded by my opponents for being trans, and probably get assassinated based on the number of big corporations I would actively topple.

Mae complains about pointless stuff again: why are pens 0.7mm by default in the United States?? I write a ton of things by hand and I cannot stand anything >0.5mm, which means that I have to always go out of my way to get the right sized pens!!

I never got into Roblox because every time I hear about Roblox it's almost always in a negative connotation, and I just never want to associate with that.

I've just come to realise that playing in a full group on DBD is better for getting good maps, because it means that your team as a collective only eliminates one realm at a time.

3 hours into Story Mode while grinding challenges to unlock cosmetics, I was booted mid-mission to the title screen because servers went down. After waiting over 12 minutes in the queue, I was greeted with all my story progress being gone and all of my unlocks reset. Not a good omen.

I hate having ADHD and hyperphantasia because I can see *picture perfect* images and sounds in my head, but if I don't create it right away, I forget it and then feel incredible guilt about not making that thing later.

Yeah. Sure dude. An ancient review that I made with an old friend on the worst movie I've ever watched, on a channel that I haven't been active on in close to a year now, that has maybe 150 views, that very clearly falls under the Fair Use clause was demonetised. Fucking whatever, man.
