The Perfect YouTube Video Length: 10 Minutes

| Entertainment, Technology | ,

In the vast landscape of online content, YouTube stands as an undeniable giant. With over 2 billion logged-in monthly users, the platform offers an extensive array of videos covering everything from educational content to entertainment, vlogs to music. As creators strive to capture their audience’s attention and maximize watch time, the question of video length becomes pivotal. Is there an ideal duration that strikes the balance between engagement and viewer retention?

I would argue that Youtube videos should only be 8 to 12 minutes long,  and that the 10-minute mark might just be the sweet spot. Beyond that, I’d rather just click Next.

Rich Dad Poor Dad – from overrated to trash

| Entertainment, Finance, Investing | , , , , , , ,

After reading the book (or rather, listening to the audiobook) of Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, I thought it was overrated. After listening to the If Books Could Kill podcast episode about it, I realized it was a total piece of trash.

From promoting illegal investment and business activities, to selling MLM or Ponzi scheme products, people should already stop quoting passages from this book. Forget about assets and liabilities, or shaping people’s mindset about it, other than those taught in accounting classes.

Listen to Michael Hobbes & Peter Shamshiri as they break down the faults in this book:

Plex New Feature: Sync Watch State and Ratings

| Entertainment | , ,

From Plex Support Article:

Plex allows you to optionally sync your watched/played state and personal ratings of movies and episodes with your Plex account online. That means that if you watch a movie on a friend’s server, it can update your account so that the movie will also be marked as watched on Plex’s Discover feature, our free Movies & Shows streaming service, and any Plex Media Server you have access to.

Does this mean I can do away with PlexTraktSync already?

From what I gather, if you have multiple Plex server, you can sync your watch state across all of them. Also, if you decide to migrate an existing Plex server or re-start a new server from scratch, it won’t be much of a pain carrying over your watch states, for you, the server owner, and your users. That’s neat. No more plugin, no more Trakt, and your users whom you’ve shared your library with can enable the same to their account (this settings is account-specific).

I’ve enabled this feature in my Account Settings. Now, let’s wait for it to do its magic.

Key takeaways: use Android Messages app, report this as spam, together we can stop the spread the stupidity in this country!
