Welcome back! 🙂
In today’s episode, we start by venting a little bit about YouTube’s AI translation and auto-dubbing features. We discuss why hearing a robotic voice on your favorite channel is jarring, and why the automatic translation of video titles is actually confusing for multi-lingual audiences.
Then, we dive into our main topic: The hidden hierarchy of YouTube channels. Spoiler: Not all channels are created equal. We break down the technical differences we’ve found—from thumbnail file size limits to transcoding speeds—and discuss the “mythical” features reserved only for the top 1% of creators.
Finally, we wrap up with a look at productivity tools. Victor is testing out “Capacities” for note-taking, and Stefanie shares her experience with Akiflow (and the dangers of free trials).
Thanks for watching and listening! ❤️
