I apologize for the rant; I’ve to vent my frustration with folks whose amount of opinions appears to be exceeding their expertise (or perhaps they’re coming from an alternate universe with completely different legal guidelines of physics, which might be means cool but in addition unlikely). You’ve been warned; please be happy to maneuver on or skip the rant a part of the weblog put up.
Rant mode: ON
That is the (unedited) gem I obtained after making a few of my EVPN movies public:
Individuals will pay you on your books or subcription. in case your actual intention is to offer extra data to folks it is best to share many of the issues that you have already got not piece by piece. however your intention is right here your private advertising by sharing couple of minutes of video that you simply already revealed very long time in the past. In case you have an engineer perspective write some books that folks can purchase.
Let’s neglect for a second that these movies have been a part of a subscription, and now anybody can take pleasure in them. Let’s additionally neglect that I’m too previous to wish “private advertising.” What triggered me was the implied concept that “making movies is reasonable, and it is best to give them away anyway.” That’s precisely like saying, “the Hollywood studios ought to give the flicks away free of charge; in any case, that’s all simply private advertising. In the event that they wished to be critical artists, they might have been writing books” Oh wait, I might need heard (the primary half of) that bullshit earlier than 🤦♂️.
As anybody who ever created a decent-quality video (not an “Inspector Clouseau investigates” dump of half-baked mind farts) is aware of, making them takes a number of time, and it’s not simply because of the give attention to know-how and related prep time. I’m fairly optimistic good Instagram or TikTok movies take a very long time to create, and the second you begin enhancing them, the time consumption explodes.
All that will be totally unknown to somebody who by no means created any content material, and most of the people with the “it is best to give your stuff away free of charge since you’re inconveniencing me in any other case” concepts appear to be in that camp (no less than none of them thus far replied with a pointer to their work when challenged), and preserve fortunately spreading their concepts from the excessive peaks of Mount Silly.
Rant mode: OFF
Nevertheless, I did determine to give attention to shows (and later flip them into downloadable movies) as an alternative of writing books as a result of that allowed me to convey extra concepts to my viewers. Creating slide decks nonetheless takes a number of time (particulars), however it’s a lot sooner than placing the identical concepts right into a e-book type. Even enhancing the (routinely) transcribed movies after an AI cleanup cross (instance) takes a number of occasions greater than the video size if you wish to construction your ideas, take away the errors or random ramblings, and add data you forgot to say in the course of the presentation.
Sadly, I haven’t discovered a great way to get AI to assist me in these phases. Asking the AI to do an intensive cleanup (or a abstract) leads to a complete lack of private voice (aka: AI slop), and I can most likely nonetheless write sooner than wrestle with the AI prompts to get the outcomes I need.
Nevertheless, I’d like to publish extra of my video content material as high-quality weblog posts, so in case you have any solutions on the best way to pace up the method, please let me know.
