I get what you're saying here, and I agree, but what I don't get is of those 10 to 20 top creators, you have to figure that the team would run into these issues, and want to have things fixed.

Of course they are. Do you have any idea how much money we cost them? I'm dead serious. The amount of data storage YT needs is INSANE. It wasn't so bad before everyone decided we have to upload in 4k with HDR if possible... but Honestly, YT should be charging per upload based on file size, but if they did that their entire business model would collapse overnight. So instead they discourage people who do not make them a profit from uploading as much as they can.

3:23 I worked in phone based CS for a couple decades; it is very unlikely that the reps coordinated behind the scenes to lie to you about a timer.

[@lwilton]

How KZbin works: 1. You post a video. 2. The video file is on a single server, somewhere in the world. 3. KZbin encodes the video at a very low data rate, say 240P, making a small encoded video file. 4. KZbin has thousands of server farms all over the globe. That one encoded video needs to get to ALL of them, quickly. Hence why the encoding was so low, so the file is small. Lots of network copying to move that file thousands of places. That takes time. An indeterminant amount of time, but one that can be *guessed* on average. 5. Local KZbin directories need to be uploaded to say the video is available. More time. 6. Now it is everywhere in low res. Now they start encoding higher res files. This takes time. 7. These higher res files now need to be copied to everywhere. More network time. It's common for this to take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours before the video is available in most places in a decent resolution. KZbin policy says this should be accomplished and the video available everywhere in all resolutions in 48 hours in most cases. So the rep tells you processing will take 48 hours, because the policy says that in general, that is the maximum time it should take. Usually it takes a lot less, but sometimes it can take more.

You did the right thing. You can rest easy. You need a THIRD channel ... "KZbin Turkeys". You can feature your vocal feathered friend in each of them ... and then continue on discussing (while being interrupted by the bird) the various issues you are having with KZbin. To promote your new channel, print up a nice, large QR code on a magnetic sign ... the QR code of course being the third channel link. Stick that on EVERY car you test (and if the plastic bodies don't cooperate, use some tape). That should get some engagement. While you're at it ... print up a couple of "blurs" on your printer and randomly place them in shots on your third channel. Ok ... enough coffee for this morning.

[@daylen577]

It's insane that YT does not just let you edit videos. Linus from LinusTechTips has spoken on this in their WAN Show before; they do allow replacing the video in very rare cases, but it has to match the runtime *exactly* and it cannot be more than some blurs. It's also something you need to be absolutely massive for and beg your YT rep to let you do, so the chance of a smaller channel getting that done is almost non-existent. I get their reasoning, they don't want you having a popular video and then completely swapping it for something different, but for cases like this it would be significantly easier to just let you reupload the video (within the same criteria, maybe even have some AI check that it didn't change more than 10% or w/e) and then add a 'video was reuploaded' tag to it or something.

On the blur tool not blurring the last frame you've selected: I'm a programmer and I'm willing to bet my left nut that what happened there was that the programmer got the instructions of something along the line of "The user should be able to add a blur from the Nth frame to the Mth one.", with no additional context. Naturally, a programmer being a programmer, they've coded it so that the blur applies from the Nth to the Mth frame, and for a programmer, that would be the range of N to M-1, because, yaknow, that's how programmers think. Now, in a well structured project, a designer would then go over the feature and notice that weird behaviour and go to the programmer and say "Hey, that's not how people count." and that would be the end of it. But I'm guessing at youtube, that doesn't happen. The more you know. Edit: also, the fact that you were able to reproduce all of these bugs so easily speaks volume about the quality control. Usually, the bugs that go through to production are the ones that are hard to reproduce.

[@bmarques333]

There is also a very strong possibility the programmer didn't consciously think of making it go to M-1, but it was the natural outcome of whatever range function they had at disposal.

[@fredinit]

Don't forget that Robert is a former member of the pocket-protector class himself.

[@jan_harald]

instead of "N to M-1" it'd be much clearer to just say "N

[@dgwdgw]

From my own experience with video editors (real ones like DaVinci Resolve or Avid), the end frame of [some effect] being exclusive is actually quite common. Not that I think YT put so much thought into this feature that they consciously chose to copy mainstream NLEs, but still.

[@greggv8]

It's a fencepost error.

[@tools.shoe.country.quickly]

That "wait 48h" thing is probably to make you forget about it

[@rarbiart]

11:55 that turkey caught me off guard!

[@ericsevern]

It's okay. We still love you (those of us whose phone number you didn't show). We'll watch again.

[@KoroWerks]

Can you upload a bingo card or something in the community tab for us to fill out while we look for sneaky changes?

[@SandRabbit]

Thank you for openly talking about what happened and good luck!

[@rwdplz1]

"I had so much anxiety over this..." The guy put his phone number on his car in 72 point font, and didn't remove it before he got rid of the car, his own fault. Apparently he never saw that news story about the plumber's car that ended up in the middle east...

[@TheHonestL1ar]

I mean, I can kinda see where you're coming from here, but no. The guy's car was bought back *by the manufacturer* and was not supposed to ever be sold again. He probably, and rightfully so, expected the car to be destroyed and for his phone number on the car to be gone forever. He put his phone number on the car while he had it because it's an incredibly interesting and unique car, and he likely had people stop him and ask about it frequently. Based on Robert's report about the guy, he seems to enjoy talking about the car(I would, too, if I had a car as interesting as that), and the phone number was probably easier than having people just stop him on the street or in parking lots. He never could've predicted that the car would be resold to a KZbinr and the phone number put out on the internet. And again, he was likely told that the car would be destroyed and never resold again, so why put in the effort to take the number off the car?

[@yvan2563]

​ @TheHonestL1ar If you assume something that turns out to be false, you're the one doing a mistake. And since assumptions were made by all three parties, IMHO everybody shares 33% of the fault for this.

[@JordanKeller]

​@yvan2563 agreed. I think the manufacturer has the most blame, then the braindead original owner, then this fellow.

[@itsmebernie]

I look forward to seeing the new updated video! I'm gonna watch it 10 times!

[@DeadBaron]

KZbin went to crap when Google took it over. It doesn't care about little creators, it only cares about corporations or the people that make them millions. You're a good man for taking it down and reuploading

[@AndrewHaverson]

Hi, I'm the guy who commented with time stamps on the related video (the re-upload, i guess). If there were 25 of them, I missed a few. Thanks for both videos, and all this scrupulous effort.

[@veganmonter]

1:45 - Yes but did you actually Watch Dune 2 or just left before? Did you like it?

[@jmwintenn]

i routinely tell youtube not to recommend things to me,and yet at least once a week for months,it's still there.

[@janboerschlein]

Without this video, I would most likely watched the next video and asked myself the whole time if I not know or have seen this already.

[@jarthurs]

When the new video hits, I'll be sure to go and watch it as I'm sure many others will. Make sure to comment on it too, for added 'engagement'.

[@PendragonDaGreat]

I don't know the editing tool at all. But maybe it's an edit limit thing? Like what if you went and blurred the first 5 instances, saved it, then went and blurred the next 5, saved it, and so on. Are the blurs burned in after the save? Or still editable? Because if it's the former, that should allow you to make the changes over a day or two.

[@agingwheels]

I can't add any number of blurs, not even single ones, to this video in particular

[@PendragonDaGreat]

@@agingwheels oof, fair enough. That's even more broken than usual for YT then.

[@pileofstuff]

If the tool was working and would actually save properly, the processing time after each save is several hours before you can do anything else. The last time I tried it was almost 6 hours after I added one blur that lasted less than a second in a 16 minute video...

[@SianaGearz]

@@pileofstuff I suspect the actual processing is very quick, it just takes all that time in the queue waiting for the processing slot, so it doesn't matter how much you edited or how long the video is, within reason.

[@pileofstuff]

@@SianaGearzRegardless of what's going on behind the scenes, the end result is the same - can't make additional changes for many, many hours.

[@John-Laird]

I love how unhinged that outro was.

[@AddieDirectsTV]

Shelter?! Aren’t you supposed to stand outside and look for the tornado?! /s

[@liamwatts8597]

I love the way you approach EVERYTHING! The next time you feel even a litte anxious just remember that I love you and you will survive and thrive! BECAUSE of who YOU are. Lots of love.❤

[@blautens]

My grandma taught me not to leave my phone number on a car I don't own. Also - if you have to spend more than 10 minutes editing a video on KZbin - just give up - it's gonna fail, you won't get what you want, it will mangle it, etc. - set your expectations correctly and you won't be disappointed or surprised.

[@prozacgod]

On one hand, YT's re-upload embargo thing can prevent bait-n-switch stuff... it's also infuriatingly dumb when there are situations like this..

[@ZGryphon]

Well, _I'll_ be watching it again, because I had to pause the first one and leave the house for a while, and it was gone when I got back. :) And hey! Could be worse. At least you didn't sell the vehicle with the guy's phone number still on it to terrorists, so that he got dogpiled with death threats from morons when it showed up on the news, like happened to a certain plumber's pickup truck a few years ago. (Although, that said, the image of someone trying to turn an Electromeccanica Solo into a technical is pretty hilarious.)

[@tylerb1734]

A couple of front mounted machine guns would give one of these a real world version of a Halo ghost vibe.

[@meribor]

I stumbled upon this video, then watched the re-uploaded video, and then a few more videos. It worked!

[@ludekstipal6120]

KZbin programmers are hard at work to slow down loading times and make buffering unsufferable in Firefox, or if you dare to have AdBlock installed - there is no room in their backlog to fix broken editor...

[@lancesmart2667]

I got to watch the video before you took it down, some of your best work, truly astounding content, life changing some might say, I've made millions in profits since it was posted based upon the knowledge you so graciously shared with us poor viewers, knowledge now lost to the KZbin blur tool forever, really sucks to be everyone else. 😭

[@NathanCrouse611]

To be fair, the guy should have removed the phone number from the car prior to the buyback. You never know where your old car will end up and it's really your responsibility to make it happen. Don't rely on the next owner to do it for you. I'm reminded of a news article some years back where ISIS ended up with a Ford Super Duty pickup that had been owned by a Texas plumber and he left his decals on the truck when he sold it because the dealer said they would remove them. He sued the dealer that because they didn't remove them. His business suffered because people thought he was associated with ISIS.

[@h8GW]

Honestly, if I was him, I'd refuse to do business with any potential customer who automatically assumed he was sponsoring terrorism and not defaulting to that it was some weird thing that happened. It's just a BIG red flag for what kind of -karen- person you might have to deal with...

[@NathanCrouse611]

@@h8GW If I recall correctly, the problem was more that he was inundated with phone calls with death threats and such and he wasn't able to really do business because most of the phone calls he got were from people that weren't even legitimate customers to begin with, just people that saw the truck with the decals on the news all over the nation. They weren't in the market to get plumbing done in Texas, they just wanted to call to give them a piece of their mind for what they thought happened instead of using a bit of sense.
