Why all the ai images??
@LitCrit2 күн бұрын
@@gealach1408 hi, thanks for the question. There’s a few reasons. AI generates the images faster than I can find them and I work a full time job. Anything that saves me time is a good thing! Also, images on the internet/Canva etc tend to be used a lot whereas these are more unique. I actually like AI art but I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and there is such a thing as too much.

@@hideoussails1783 I would look to simplify the sentence overall to ensure the reader absorbs the main images, as ‘too many’ (subjective) details can detract from the overall impression.
@LitCrit6 күн бұрын
Also, a splinter is by its nature sharp. Do you need it here? In addition, ‘strident’ usually refers to a harsh and forceful voice, so perhaps there’s a more suitable adjective you could use. Lastly, perhaps you could clarify what has caused the agony? Eg the splinter of agony as the heavy wooden door slammed down on me etc

I've made shorts videos and I've noticed that KZbin will top it out at a certain number / days and then nothing. I've also made videos that are 3 seconds long, so it's not long enough for people to click off 🙃 it keeps your retention analytics. It's better if you can keep it as short as possible even a few seconds unless you have a lot to pack in one minute 🎉
