H.I. #32: YouTube Half-Assery

[@guid0_gainz908]

This video alone justifies the invention of smellivision

[@tybrewing9807]

I recently ventured into the world of podcasts. Naturally, I happened upon Hello Internet. I don't know what I was doing with my life before, but it was a miserable existence.

[@mfaizsyahmi]

And up next in my auto-play list: part 30 then in the recommendations: 23, 13, 28, 15, 2 recommendations, 14, 22, 12, 31, 18, 24, 8, 11, 26...

[@rhemorigher]

I almost never laugh at anything I am watching on my own, but Brady's "I'll just open up Internet Explorer." Got me good.

[@regislourenso]

I wish I could smell this video

[@888SpinR]

+Régis Lourenço Same here!

[@emilyhopkins9472]

+Régis Lourenço *Deep inhale*

[@NotMeInc]

+Régis Lourenço I have a cold, I hate coffee, hurray.

[@Cobalt360Degrees]

That non-sequential youtube complaint is *exactly* why I love it when creators make playlists. If you in a playlist, it always gives you a 'next up' right underneath the bottom right corner of the video. The only major problem I've had with that is, when it's a show that gets updated regularly, it seems like the order is reversed? I dunno, sometimes it seems like the list is in reverse chronological order and that really fucking throws me for a loop, and makes the whole thing a lot harder to use. >:c

[@BrentODell]

The idea of President Grey giving the Sate of the Union walking on his treadmill behind the standing desk...

[@JeffreyBlenman]

Completely agree about getting things to play in order. I am so thankful you keep up with the playlist for these podcasts in chronological order.

[@spkennedy951]

This is super late and you probably won't see it, but as someone who knows hard of hearing/deaf people, you are amazing for actually putting up captions. It's super rare on KZbin as a whole.

[@jeremyw5506]

i see you

[@General12th]

i see you

[@diggoran]

Oh my god I laughed so hard at "We already sold the advertising space" XD

[@PXAbstraction]

Squarespace = Designed by designers. KZbin = Designed by engineers. There's your answer. :) And yes, as a tiny KZbinr, I can't stand the backend either. I pay to use the excellent TubeBuddy extension just to make it LESS awful. But KZbin basically has no competition and thus, no incentive to improve.

[@BrennenSprimont92]

+Parallax Abstraction To be frank I fail to see a way in which youtube could improve. It has some of the most complicated compression algorithms to allow for the most efficient use of data communication paired with an audience that is 1/7th the population of the world. KZbin is both a software engineer and a marketer/advertiser's wet dream.

[@PXAbstraction]

+Brennen Sprimont The backend UI could be improved immensely without having any impact on things like the compression technology. The TubeBuddy extension demonstrates just a few ways KZbin could make things better. You are correct in that KZbin has an extensive population. That combined with a near total lack of real competition is one of the main reasons their MANY issues (technical, design and support wise) aren't being dealt with. No incentive.

[@AkiSan0]

what did you snort? back then youtube wasnt made by engineers. maybe if you stretch the term beyond its limit and include data cobblers and greedy idiots as engineers (though that actually cant be further from an engineer ). today youtube is made by idots. plain old idiots. and it is governed by mentally ill nutcases and greedy corpo nutcases. literally not a single feature in the past 6 years was made for the USER.

[@BlueCubeSociety]

I know I'm really late to the party (and going through these episodes slowly), but my gosh this was one of the funniest episodes so far!

[@Omni0404]

I just discovered these podcasts and haven't laughed so hard in my life! You guys totally kill it. Thanks for being so awesome.

[@Cobalt360Degrees]

Not liking the smell of coffee, to me, is like not liking the smell after the rain. It just like, you're missing something substantially beautiful from your life, man!

[@XNiness]

3 Years and they still haven't fixed the numbered videos out of order issue. Running into it now ironically trying to listen to this podcast in order.

[@moartems5076]

XNiness I assume youtube sent you back here from HI 103? I totally disagree with their opinion that the youtube discussion is boring, because we all get annoyed with that youtube frontend.

[@MagnusSkiptonLLC]

I used to work at McDonald's and people experiment all the time with food, particularly at night when it's slow. I was the manager on duty, so nobody could stop me. Deep frying apple pies with ice cream and caramel sauce. Sextuple quarter pounders with cheese to see if someone could eat it. I once tried to make chicken parmesan out of a McChicken, ketchup and cheese (not a success). I also made a double cheeseburger with the breakfast sausage patties instead of hamburger, and it was surprisingly good. One of my favorites was "30-second fries". Literally take the frozen fries from the large bin, put in the fryer for only 30 seconds (normal cook time was like 2:30 or so, can't remember exactly), and salt generously. They were wonderfully warm, mushy, mealy, salty goodness.

[@Sufo]

I used to work at McDonald's when I was younger and someone ordered a McGangBang while I was taking orders outside. I asked my manager if we could make it for them over the headset and my manager got really upset with me. I agree with Brady, I despise the smell of coffee as well.

[@prinztricky]

Now I know this is an old episode from before the starwars stuff, but I introduced a friend to the podcast by showing him you two talking about the new starwars movie, I feel like having these sort of "spinoff" episodes could bring in more viewers.

[@kylecameron3459]

Spot on about the sequential videos. Finished this and the ones in the sidebar at 35 and 128.

[@chillsahoy2640]

I'm curious about air flight fatalities in 2020...

[@adisop1]

Back before starbucks had the venti, their sizes were short, tall, and grande. Grande used to be their largest size, hence the name. A short is 8 oz, tall 12, grande 16. A short cup is also a "kids" size cup. I worked for starbucks from 2005 to 2009 during the college years. Since the cups are still avail for kids drinks, they are still available to make short size drinks. If you order espresso shots to go, that is the short size cup.

[@Niko-pd5yh]

[@kumquatery]

One of the best Hello Internet backgrounds to date.

[@bobpaul2593]

Yes it is

[@abandoned4833]

"No one important listens to my work" - Brady thanks man very kind.

[@iamfuturetrunks]

Iv seen a lot of those complaints before. Along with others. I remember when I first joined youtube I didn't use it much other then to look at videos. Then while going to college was able to finally upload something to the site. I worked on a film project (very short about 11 minutes, which back then meant cutting it into two 5+ videos because of the 10 minute limit video thing) I did the film, did a months worth of editing (first time using adobe, and editing in general) uploaded it to a few sites like break.com and youtube. The video worked everywhere else but youtube. KZbin had a strange problem of freezing the video in spots but the audio kept going, or like speeding up the video etc. I eventually had to go back and redu the whole editing thing (cause of outdated software) and spent about another month re-editing everything back and then was finally able to upload it to youtube (by then there was the 15 minute limit instead of 10 minutes) and by then I was so tired of seeing the same video over and over again by editing it and such that I just didn't care that it finally worked on youtube. Then there was the annotations I tried using which were a bit wonky back then. And I just don't like youtube that much. There are way to many problems. "Then why do you keep using it?" It isn't cause I want to, its because everyone uses youtube. It's like asking "why do you drive a car to work?" Well cause everyone else does. There isn't very many viable options for changing. Same with youtube. I have looked at other sites like break.com or vimeo but they just don't have the same reach as youtube. Everyone uses youtube (even though the site is pretty bad considering how many people use it etc) and thus you get a better audience reach with it. More people know how to use youtube and know about youtube then say vimeo or such.

[@kacee3472]

That Starbucks Java chip Frappuccino is so good. Well it was. I think it's too sweet now, I prefer normal black coffee, but I really liked it at first.

[@planecrashcorner7283]

The animations tricked me into becoming a Tim.

[@ember_icosahedron8002]

How come, that in the "Star Wars with Darth Vader" Picture it is advertised for May 9th, 2015?

[@daltonriser1125]

its funny being in 2017 where the logo watermark type thing is in the bottom right but then again its been like that for a bout a year

[@diggoran]

Coffee + sweet black tea is my personal favorite mix

[@fejfo6559]

The let me open up internet explorer thing was awesome.

[@Artifactorfiction]

I love the smell of coffee ...

[@JPKloess]

The example at 28:30ish is great because I dislike the smell of flowers and coffee...

[@DistanceTraveled]

I love Audrey's guest star appearance

[@gabe3042]

1:51:00 Lovely to still be struggling with this, specifically with this podcast and crash course

[@gabe3042]

the time isn’t exact but you get the idea

[@mechacyto]

Can't find the link to the study gray mentioned about audio books and driving.

[@LaedusMcGonagall]

"doesn't want to be dependent on one platform." uses apple products almost exclusively.

[@TuetchenR]

LaedusMcGonagall I think it's about the existence of an alternative and now I own apple and other product and no it shouldn't matter.

[@dezfernandez]

The Starbucks short size is all over the menu in Japan because they like small things over there and they don't drink a lot of coffee.

[@General12th]

For me, coffee smells great and tastes fine. But coffee _flavoring_ is thoroughly delicious. I love coffee ice cream! Guess this is *yet another* place where Mr. Grey and I diverge.

[@General12th]

I don't know why yall described Trenta size as "disgustingly large". Aren't larger containers more efficient? Is there something wrong with the philosophy of bigger is better?

[@JeffreyBlenman]

At some McDonald's you can genuinely go in and order a "McGang Bang" and they'll order up sandwiches together. That's secret menu level.

[@AntoineMP92]

What does Grey do apart videos for his channels? He talks a lot about big projects and deadlines.

[@endrankluvsda4loko172]

Shirt idea: Where do you keep your secret maps?

[@facebren]

As a KZbin user, that *was* interesting. Also, the 200 video limit really doesn't work for KZbin as a music platform. Also, KZbin's playlists are really crappy for organizing your music anyway. Seeing as most of their money comes from music, you'd think they'd improve these things.

[@Baconator96]

Normally I would agree that 50 GBP is expensive from the perspective of a university student, but I have to say since it was a charity, all bets are off. At that point an auction is the best option.

[@Memington]

i like listening to this on youtube because I can spam the L key to skip ads

[@General12th]

same

[@dalton5229]

In defense of Grey's microwaving coffee, I can't drink an entire pot by myself in one day, so I'll still have some left over the next morning. I don't want to waste half a pot of coffee, so I just put some in the microwave to reheat it. Sure, it doesn't taste as good as it does fresh, but I really, I just need something to wake me up.

[@ThatAngeloGuy]

Those better be a 100% Kona Grey

[@azx999]

1:21:04 "Jesus" lmao!!

[@kacee3472]

I literally looked at this video not 7 minutes before I got up and decided I needed coffee. Mmmm this is very good coffee I'm drinking right now too :)

[@WouterDRav]

Fuck why doesnt youtube save the timestamp I was at when I revisit this video anymore.

[@theobrill5161]

I can't tell if brady just put a picture of coffee beans and put an effect over it, or got a video of them roasting

[@pauljmorton]

I knew Grey would dislike puns! He's never liked the whole "Durk från Versitablés" thing so I thought maybe he dislikes puns.

[@williamjlkl]

did brady film this as well, or is it stock footage? I thought brady did all of the videos but didn't drink/own coffee.

[@lastfire77]

+williamjlkl this looks like a stock photo with a transparent smoke asset over it, he probably put the two thing together, but not the original things.

[@Abou_El_Ela]

Is there a download link to the video? It would be relaxing if I work while this is on the background on my TV

[@kieronholt5979]

+Abou El-Ela www.hellointernet.fm/

[@kieronholt5979]

+Kieron Holt www.hellointernet.fm/archive/

[@Abou_El_Ela]

+Kieron Holt Oh, I didn't mean the podcast. I only meant that video running in the background.

[@xylaardhiafiorina6844]

I think you can just search "youtube to mp4" or something on google. I'm not quite sure what the gentlemen at Hello Internet has to say about that, considering their stance on this copyright/infringement issues, but whatever.

[@gabili]

+Abou El-Ela Here you go k13.offliberty.com/g5Ev9Roj7l0.mp4 just right click and save target as. It's about 1.5 GB though.

[@thewordshifter]

A. "House of Congress" LOL. B. It's probably just a Hill intern and an intern friend.

[@oromain]

Cards and End Screens to this day still aren't a sufficient replacement for annotations and it absolutely bothers me. They really should have updated the annotations system instead. The most useful usage of annotations is to add notes of corrections for the viewer. If something was wrong in the video or time has changed the facts, I used to be able to add an annotation noting as such. Now I have to hope they'll read the description or pinned comment, which not everyone will. They really should have worked on annotations :/

[@ssamerica3062]

I just looked up the Taft office setup and I have to say it isn't as appealing as that humble little abode in the last episode. Also 25:15 I also microwave coffee, I had no idea it was such a taboo amongst the community of coffee conisures I do sometimes use a water heater but the microwave is fast and instant espresso doesn't even need warm water. And about coffee icecream, I don't hate it, it can be pretty good, but there are a lot of flavors I would go through before I choose it deliberately. Also also 28:35 I don't think I have ever smelled a wild flower that I would describe as sweet or even pleasant. Rose's have always been offensive to me, lavender is ok and vanilla smell really good but the actual flowers just smell vegital to me.

[@endrankluvsda4loko172]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the people working for youtube are more worried about how things look than anything else. Is this change better in the way it works? Is it was people want? Does it make viewing easier? Does it make uploading better? Who cares, as long as it looks prettier! Well, we haven't made any major changes in 2 weeks so yeah let's do it!

[@kathrynbrown8005]

R.I.P. in pepperonis annotations.

[@CircsC]

The best part is Grey's exasperated sigh

[@immDroidz]

I absolutly hate the generall smell of flowers, both me and my best friend have this issue with the smell of flowers

[@jjhepb01n]

Totally agree with your comparison of KZbin and Netflix. I pay for KZbin Premium though. Why do I have to be pushed to watch some other crap instead of just the next episode.

Must be why they banned radios and music players in cars years ago.

[@michaelmele3954]

It's been years and you still can't watch stuff in order

[@michaelmele3954]

And it's still super interesting subject matter. Thanks Brady!

[@kacee3472]

My dad hates the smell and taste of coffee too. He is so weird. I love coffee.

[@daveykarsseboom2630]

Isn't a dad joke the perfect way to determine Star Wars Day?

[@diggoran]

The Wire is just hard to get into past the 1st episode. There's just so much exposition and not much hook. Watching it again, I love the 1st episode, but I originally put The Wire away for 2 weeks between episodes 1 and 2, and then after watching episode 2, I binged the rest of the 5 seasons :P

[@RobbK94]

beach ball of death

[@volga6247]

43:50 Brady swears!

[@kacee3472]

You have a domain name problem Grey? That is a very odd problem.

[@endrankluvsda4loko172]

lol a good commentary on youtube would be to say to click on the link in the description then point in every direction. Yeah change for change's sake sucks. Things should get better, not just different.

[@GH0STmonk]

I have never met anyone else who also dislikes the smell and taste of coffee.

[@anakso]

I couldn't agree with Brady more, I'm exactly the same way about Coffee. I hate the smell, went in a Starbucks once and just...never again. I've tried it as Brady has but I've never had a cup either because it just smells and tastes so disgusting.

[@GTaichou]

I'm strangely bothered that the smoke in the video is sinking rather than rising. The illusion of warm coffee beans is ruined - it is only a box of coffee beans with a smoke machine nearby. :C

[@TPRJones]

I get Brady about coffee. I can't stand the stuff. Even the barest bit of coffee in something makes my mouth seize right up and all I can taste is the awful coffee flavor. I can't even have hot chocolate from Starbucks because all it tastes like is coffee. Ick.

[@janecowie3626]

i also despise coffee

[@llibertvorfii]

Whaaat there is a person that doesn't like the smell of coffee

yea, here you go

no u

[@christiandevey3898]

i think if one of you dies just keep the show going with the show with a new host and don't say anything about it.

[@eloujtimereaver4504]

Grey, you definitely have a cult following, which incidentally is why your copyright on your videos is invalid.

[@HalbyStarcraft]

[@matthewjamesmjw4172]

[@founoe]

Coffee smells so bad it should be banned from all public areas.

[@zacharyorme2474]

Is there a way to see how many dislikes a comment has?

[@kacee3472]

I wish I was some famous person so I could be like 'you do have important people watching hello internet' but no, I'm just the socially awkward 14 year old girl... but then again, being famous would be horrible. You would have to like speak to so many people and stuff. And people would like know stuff about me. I don't want to be famous...

[@General12th]

Now you're a socially awkward 18 year old girl.
