You are Not a Number

[@NixiePixel]

*New video up!* Thanks for being patient, your support means the world to me - Now I really hope KZbin doesn't get mad at me for this one....

[@StuartDuff]

Frankly they deserve the flak, you're not the first content creator that they have done over and not likely to be the last. I remember when you started it all up and I'm really happy to be able to support you as you move this way!

[@JasonWynn]

I wouldn't worry about KZbin Nixie Pixel.

Hay....It's Pixie Nixel.

[@trevorford8332]

Nixie Pixel You do realise people watch yr vids on a mobile devices, i start laughing when they start pointing to the subscribe button you know what i can never find it!! It's not just you everybody do it. :)

[@Ghrail]

''I am not a number! I am a free man!~The Prisoner tv show

[@BigRay826]

You're not only awesome, but inspiring. I can understand the struggle on being a content creator and it deems over the financial aspect of doing what you love. I hope everything is going well for you NP :)

[@bellathedog2]

I watch the Prisoner too ! Lots of thought provoking stuff there and here to think about. Keep going Nixie.

[@foxygirl8388]

Found this channel couple days ago, and I have to say it's my fav now. Reason I'm using alt account it to say how much I like it after watching all your videos, you made me switch to linux as my main OS. Also, I hope I meet girl with similar personality one day :)

[@thecrism1]

Thank you Nixie for doing what you do and all that you can to to help and enlighten people all over the world.

[@BachRedDragon]

Ohh god. You are the most beautiful girl of the universe

[@JER0EN]

Can't disagree with that.

[@zinoelgato]

A respectful and appropriate comment to a beautiful women,...and people say chivalry is dead.

[@jamestakac3224]

Zino El Gato Agreed. Beautiful, great personality, and intelligent. Don't see enough women like nixie, i.e. intelligent with personality

[@ugurcansayan]

James Takac Yeah... personality. ｡◕‿◕｡ She has great twos of that (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

[@wileymanful]

[@kernelpanick636]

We love you Nixie pump out them videos baby!!!

[@Imbacore01]

Bravo! You've my respect Nixie. I hope your venture skyrockets!

[@OGBhyve]

I use KZbin because it's where "my people" (being subscriptions) are. If that changed, so would I.

[@NixiePixel]

Absolutely. You said it best. I'd follow them in a heartbeat! =)

[@apacheglider]

yeah i f****** hate that monopoly

[@YouGenom]

Nixie Pixel Correct me if I am mistaken but your audience seems to be flexible and would follow you. Well you might see a drop first but your fans like me, who thinks your videos are beneficial, would/should share it on social networks.

[@dgdw]

So just went in to put my Patreon contribution in. Either the site is broke or you're getting WAY more contributions than the other channels I enjoy. Congrats if it's the latter! (and yes I still threw in my small drop in the deluge hehehe) Your how-to Linux videos I think are invaluable and we need more people putting Linux into plain English. Love the work and looking forward to seeing more!!!

[@dgdw]

Ah yes it was broke It briefly showed you as getting somewhere in the 16k/mo range after I chipped in. Now it's back to where it was. :)

[@NixiePixel]

Derek Weber That's because of trolls donating $9,999 over and over with no way of blocking them. Yay internet!

[@dgdw]

Oh makes sense because of how Patreon does it. The card isn't charged right away so they can't tell who can actually pay until it comes time to collect .... Fantastic.

[@bigb4ng2012]

I love your show, Nixie. You're one of the reasons I switched to Linux. Meanwhile I hate the KZbin system too and I promise I will support you as soon as I'm, yea, let's say more liquid. ;) So keep up the good work, thank you and best regards from Germany!

[@livinlicious]

Getting funded by people that like your content is way better than, "I have eyes of my subscribers - I sell them to advertisers". Its the more logical way, directly producer - consumer. No middleman that wants to earn his profit too. Good luk with that. (As I see, 3k/month is already not too shabby)

[@JER0EN]

I feel the same way, I'd rather get a small in video or in description something that is saying 'Buy my shirts!' or 'Merch: InsertLink' than a preroll or an advertisement.

[@livinlicious]

Buy my shirt is also not direct. Its more direct than advertising, because you get a bigger piece as the creator, but its still not that much. For example, a shirt is 20$ and the creator gets 5$. I think many people have money, more money than they use up, and want to support stuff they like, just to make sure this stuff will keep on existing. Thats why people love crowdfunding. Pay for stuff, so that awesome stuff can be created.

[@JeffSmith03]

It's the NixiePixel skill and uniqueness that captured my attention long ago. You are for sure worth *more* than money! What about Bitcoin then? Anyway I finally watched the first episode of OSALT, a comparison of Windows and Linux Mint. I am surprised I took that long but I see why you came to be so famous. I certainly hope you get more value out of your work than you probably have from ytub. I think it's too bad how we've learned to centralize advertising and money trafficing, when the real value is in you!

[@RizkhyDestatama]

ive been following you since i have internet that can stream your channel keep up the good work

[@JoRosieQueen68]

I'm with you Nixie,Keep the good work up and i'm sure everyone will be happy in the end! Good Luck with the Pixel , Nixie!!! ;D!

[@sshum00]

At the bank that I work in, I'm more than a number. I have a V at the very start of my ID... the rest are numbers.

[@LeiosLabs]

This is super exciting! I really hope everything woks for you!

[@Magiz26]

Great words and keep doing what you're doing. You rock and we all to see more content from you.

[@patriciotucholla9125]

Good luck, Nixie !

[@spaided]

Thanks for all you do! Don't listen to the "haters." I think you provide a service and a useful service at that. I think KZbin should definitely do a better job at compensating it's users. I know people will disagree with me, but, KZbin would be nothing without awesome content from its users like you. Keep up the great work.

[@isdaDoughboy]

oh shoot, i was just in japan last week. I was really busy then and missed your other video. I would have loved to meet you in person! I'm slowly learning linux because of my recent purchase of the pi, and you're one of my favorite youtuber sources.

[@ka0pmd]

This is really very good. Gutsy, too - and that's rare.

[@lordswaggity1213]

No *THIS* is Nickie pickle.

[@ZR-tg6no]

Keep doing what you are doing.

[@andrewkaylor2786]

love your video's made me learn so much and gave me so much

[@adarax86]

supporting you 100%!

[@douglasalan7786]

Glad you listened ;-) Hugz. PS. Don't forget "lottery".

[@ryan4888]

I admire your honesty! My favorite podcast Painkiller Already has started doing this also. I think it's a good alternative.

[@nerdglider]

I don't know when KZbin will implement tip jars but I would use it on content creators like you, I can do so much with the information from you videos I wouldn't even know how to find a course in that in school, thx :)

[@williamm200]

Muchas Gracias great tuts, nixie pixel.

[@Account-rb6xg]

Man, if I had the money I would love to financially contribute to all of my favorite creators.

[@resres6247]

Kiddo... you convinced me... I don't have much but a donation to you would mean you can keep your awesome linux videos on and my mental sanity because i see likeminded people who have the courage to do what i'm afraid to (public speaking)... You have my support (patreon link accessed)

[@michaelwestmoreland1304]

nixie pixel!! you are an amazing!!! smart!!! wonderful!! woman!!! and i will subscribe to anything you do in the future!!! keep up the exceptional work,and the best of luck in all your future projects!!!

[@cediddi]

I'm probably a number that's not six. I'd like to be the six.

[@monsterous289]

For some reason this video sounds like she is talking through 5 bed sheets.

[@dr3dmodel]

Nixie, you are a natural. Please hang in there :)

[@dragonhead01]

I will offer now my love and thoughts and perhaps once I get a job .....money

[@RobertLock1978]

Good work Nicole. They can't hide the truth.

[@X1011]

I'm gonna be a nitpicker here, but that's not a cable car; it's a streetcar. A cable car is physically pulled by a cable.

[@dyn0spectrum]

keep up the great work!

[@MrHav1k]

People need money to live and doing KZbin full time means you need to see a reasonable ROI from your time. I see nothing wrong with getting money from the ads simply by running them before the videos. There is a lot of scummy shit that advertisers do, but a 5 second ad before a video to support people you like isn't much.

[@examen1996]

Searching info about Nan as in not a number and finding this video :)) funny experience

[@desmondbirch298]

Just subscribed!!! :O) Kindest regards from England!!! :O)

[@deadcool3580]

i will support you when i can because i do learn from your linux videos and i want more.

[@theaussiegeek]

OMG you are awesome. I am so happy to give you as much help as I can.

[@juleslima2442]

Hi, Nicole! You just won a big fan from Brasil ! I'm impressed with so many qualities...

[@PaulTurley81]

keep up the good work

[@wizardsleazy2039]

love u nixie

[@sfsmaus]

The moment I heard you were on Patreon I said to myself, "Self, where is the link? I must immediately contribute to the Nixie." And I've done so. I hope you get your studio soon.

[@DelbyDank]

I am a number

[@ndsnds7347]

man, its , i mean they are great. you are gorgeous:)

[@emdeeeff]

i'd say take time off you need- but you probably already know that

[@FinleysTk]

98K a year should do fine i think....

[@basilhsriggas]

Hey nixie,i love your video's, bit why you choose to go to the partio(or how it call it) if you want you can simply find some sponsors? Love yaaa.

[@NixiePixel]

Good question. It's rare to find sponsors that don't monopolize your time, or require creative control - unfortunately.

[@OleTange]

Nixie Pixel RedHat is doing well these days. If I were you I would approach their marketing/educational division and see if you can make arrangements that is beneficiary to both parties.

[@JoeZyzyx]

Ole Tange that's a good idea! she could work as a front person for them.

[@jasongallego7993]

I'm gonna be your best friend. Here.

[@tonyppe]

Nice work! :)

[@Billthesheepdog]

Glad you got out of that God forsaken Japan Nicole. If I can figure it all out I will support you dear.

[@demonsorrows]

Welcome home weirdo :)

[@MotorCityPhoenix313]

Thank you for being honest with us! I had been wondering where you went. Make content you because YOU love to make it! It's the only way you'll be happy with what you've accomplished! And on behalf of the gentlemen who watch your videos I apologize for the 10 year olds leaving immature, sexiest comments on every video you post.

[@NetModdi]

Why don't you have new videos here on KZbin?

[@billhaigney5080]

Hi. Just joined your Patreon following! Looking forward to your insights

[@hugobranco]

i don't know pretty much about the philosophy behind open course, but to me it seems rather better put ads here, that wont charge us, than ask us to donate. the thing is not about giving you my money, the fact is i dont have that much. i'm still a studant, no jobs, so no credit card therefore no donations :( i don't know how many like me there are out there, but you do what you think is the best and we're gonna always stick with you

[@MrFixit-wm8vc]

OMG THOSE TSHIRTS!

[@MrFixit-wm8vc]

Also my channel is really not that big of deal and IDK if anyone will see it but I am going to feature you on it so more people can hopefully witness the wonderful content you provide to your community. As a fellow DIY person, linux user, and someone who is striving to make great content just for people to enjoy, it is super encouraging to have someone to look up to! Thanks Again.

[@Hunnah0055]

k well you are making more than me now Miss 8k/m Good job! Can't wait to see more videos. I have donated too btw...

[@pete275]

*you* are number six

[@kram2048]

actually the universe is a quantum computer, thus everything is a number even a single hydrogen atom is made out of them, so really your right you are not a single number you are made out of trillions of numbers. matter being the 1's, antimatter being the 0's, and the stuff that disappears being the quantum superstate (1 and 0 at the same time). We can no longer interact with it but it still exists. nothing was created nor destroyed, the particle just went "where the deleted files go". all references to the particle are gone but the energy remains.

[@cpatterson1021]

I just want to say thanks for your video. I refer to them all the time. Thanks Again. Also could you send me some fukushima water. I need more glowing stuff.

[@DearKareennBee]

I love you so much good luck...

[@JoeZyzyx]

half a penny?! per view? How much does youtube make per view from advertisers? If I monetized my very few videos expecting to make a living on that alone, I'd be really bad off! You have a pleasing screen presence, you should investigate other venues, maybe like guest appearance in a TV show, a specialty tech news reporter for a local TV channel, and so on. I could easily see you in a sitcom series. I remember two young women who did TV commercials in the 70's and I thought then they could go far, and I was right. One was Farrah Fawcett with Aqua Velva shaving cream, the other was Elizabeth Shue for Burger King. I get the same feeling about you, if you get the right agent, the right product for commercial just for more "face exposure" and then pursue it.

[@jfasjfas]

to be honest babe, we love your video content. such as me we all love your insight knowledsge in IT stuff which helps a lot to IT noobs like me. but to get more hits just wear much lower cut outfit for all your videos, i guarantee that you will triple your views or hits as there were TONS of WOLVES out there sex sells thanks for sharing greeat information. dont mean to hurt you babe just being bluntly honest Cheers! keep up the great work! (knowledge is power, understanding is a wisdom)

[@biagio8058]

Here is the simple truth. In advertising simply put Sex Sells!!! As lovable and smart as Nixie is, Nixie would skyrocket to the top of the charts if she was wearing a bikini. If you doubt this ask her to try it and find out for yourself. Nixie is a wealth o information to all and she delivers it spot on. That being said and only from a business stand point. There is a lot of comp out their and she needs dig deep into her bag of tools to beat the rest at their own game. Nixie, SEX SELLS it's bikini time. If you have an edge use it. It will do you well at the cash register. Respectfully Rock Solid.

For ultimate GNU points you could even host your videos on a MediaGoblin server.

[@WeDeserveBetterNow]

My only question is what if a male in the exact same situation made a video like this... would it be received by the audience in the same type of positive way? I have my doubts.

[@AtipatInfo]

Well, she's pretty that's no doubt. and I like her videos, I've been following her videos for some time now, even though, I dont actually act or communicate much. (coz of my poor English) Well, just dont doubt, i guess the answer is no! Or may be yes, if he really show his videos are great and really kicks. this is the true nature of things! haha

[@meaghanborsella7800]

Well a young guy made over 10k on kickstarter for fucking potato salad, so maybe your opinion here isn't all that valid :-P. It really irks me when people will assume that just because someone has a vagina that is the sole reason they are achieving something. I'm not saying I agree with her choices here on making videos. The reality is that Nikki is very likable and that is what drives the positive reception she has and not the fact she is a girl.

[@WeDeserveBetterNow]

All other factors being equal, an attractive female will gain viewers and subscribers more quickly and substantially than a male in the same situation producing the exact same type and level of content. A fact of life is that men are more prone to having their attention captured by the sight of an attractive female - while women are much more neutral when it comes to looking at members of one gender or the other. If you want an example of this consider that The Amazing Atheist took several years to build up a large following, while it only took Jaclyn Glenn only 1 year to build up a following of a similar size (even though they offer very similar content).

can't you sign up with subbuble, I mean they seem to be doing pretty well at supporting other channels such as crash course?

[@WrikSen]

I have been angry with Nixie over why she doesn't post videos as often.. Now that I am wide awake and I am glad that Iearnt things this way, I realised that this woman needs our support as a community, which doesn't make her any lesser than whatever she is.. I do admit the looks and 'boobss' part, but then she does a lot of good work which is beyond the intellectual capabilities of most of us.. So, thowo have a problem with the way she is handlng this, plea lay off ad deal with pathetic livesa it is.. We, as Nixie's followers will try infuse as much positive energy as possible...

What is it with the danger of KZbin shutting down Nixie's channel? I've just heard from that for the first time and haven't yet had the time to watch the live show, so I'd please like to know whether there is the danger of the live show video being gone when I get to watch it?!?

[@sadiporter2966]

to be honest hiring someone to edit your videos for you is very lazy. You're a youtuber, it is your job to write the material, film it, edit it and upload it. Sure it can be boring but so are most jobs.
