lighting my compost candles 🙏
great news that's EXACTLY what I;m doing
I do ONE DAY of field prep work on the farm and Kristi Noem gets fired
great news, I got a bunch more to do for the coming week+
This is what Rumsfeld would call an Unnoem Unnoem
👆
Gives some insight on why the farm sector keeps voting for Trump even though he keeps wrecking their markets. Doesn't it.
Here's the fun part, it's not gambling!
A) Federal crop insurance covers "Awww, prices were really low. Here's some $ to make it up to you."
B) The taxpayers pay for most of that insurance, not farmers.
C) The White House likes to give extra bailouts on top of the subsidized insurance.
Currently in the middle of field prep/planting, by the time I got a video done it would be out of date 🥹
This quote is wild though. They ALMOST made it to "This could be solved by the US cutting back on the bulk crops that it doesn't have a market for anymore anyway." But then they didn't. 🤷♀️
the visionary needed in these times 🙏 ty for this
understandable, have a good day
so here's the wrinkle with that, the title has "GETTING OLDER" in it & my understanding is the title generally ranks higher in the search than text in the thumbnails
what if it was the MILF* crowd all along
*Melons I'd Like to Farm
oh that's just downright blasphemous, good work everybody 🙏
ahhhh the cornhub demographic
I had heard rumors that YT/Google could read text in the thumbnail, but remain uncertain how true that is
something weird is going on with this video
16% of the views are from Google searches. That's a lot? Normally it's under 1%.
Adding to the mystery, I have no idea WHAT people are googling that sends them.... here.
if anyone has any idea what's going on y'all let me know
everyone strap in, Big Kitty is comin' 😂
if there's Big Farm News in the next month or so I'm afraid y'all are on your own
unless you like sweaty monologging from a bluetooth that keeps cutting out when the battery dies
"Working with the seasons must be amazing, what's it like being a farmer in spring?"
had a dream last night that a lion & her 4 cubs moved into my house. at first it was fine because they were hungry & tired & just slept all the time
but then they started getting better & that was a Problem
aw thanks lol I am continually baffled that just making lil videos takes so much time & bandwidth
and then I remember all the hoops one has to jump through to convey real info to an audience that's been through a century+ of intense disinfo campaigns : /
THIS
like yeah of course your thumbnails can't suck
but "sucky thumbnails" tend to suck because they're irrelevant, not because they're ugly
80-90% of the puzzle I'm solving for here isn't the YouTube algorithm or the social media attention economy.
It's just... you know... people.
So every time I make a video, yeah, I gotta lay out quality info.
But I also have to find a way to couch it so people 1) feel like it's important & relevant to them, a non-farmer, and 2) don't take those facts as personal attacks on their worldview.
it's kind of a lot
This really isn't about "fighting YouTube's algorithm."
It's about "There's a huge important thing in our world: the fact that money does in fact matter a lot in agriculture."
But people have been trained to believe that even thinking about farms & money at the same time makes them a bad person.
Yeah that's the thing about YouTubing in established topics that people already care about, like physics. There's already a fan base to speak to.
Whereas people are generally convinced that caring about money in agriculture is a BAD thing, so I have to sneak attack 'em with it
It's honestly not a bad mental exercise.
If I want people to gaf about my stuff, it behooves me to find out what they already care about & connect it to that.
Ain't nobody got time to click on Lady Drones On About Random Stuff, Episode #385 and I respect that
Beluga sturgeon supposedly get up to 30' if you don't poach them all as soon as they reach adulthood
It's a modern species that's still around, just doesn't get to full size in the wild due to hunting.
(Doing a series of videos on 1 topic on YouTube gets hairy, bc each video has to stand on its own. Nobody clicks on "Series about X, part Y.")
(So on Patreon it's "part 2 of How Farming Became Conservative." And on YT it's "Why Farmers Keep Getting Older"/"Stop Doing Young Farmers Dirty.")
New video goes public on YT tomorrow at 10am!
For Patreon followers, it's already up over there.
I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change
