Brad: I dont think we should put [the promo] up immediately, it'll stifle the last [viral series spinoff] episode
Middle manager: then do it Monday?
Middle manager: Sudnay?
Middle manager: [Promo girl] also has a promo comig for [viral series sequel] for [YouTube]
Brad: why not when the episode launches [on our site] so it can link to it [from YouTube]? It doesn't make sense to take views away from actual content for a promo for something that's not even linkable
Middle manager: [CEO] wants the promotion... plus we'll have another vid there when the vid comes out that will be linkable.
Middle manager: and let's face it. [viral series spinoff] isn't really doing that great. Episode 3 only got 31k views
Middle manager: about the same as [crappy video]
Brad: yeah but putting up a promo right after putting up actual content is dumb.
Brad: also, it didn't really peak at 31... each one gets more views as each new episode comes out. It's the same pattern on our site and on youtube
Brad: it'll get more now that 4 is out, and more when 5 comes out
Middle manager: sure... but as great as I think it is... it's not exactly a hit.
Brad: Well. Yeah. Uh... you can't really expect everything--or anything--to be a 'viral hit', the fact that it's getting more views than we have subscribers means people are watching it. We got lucky with the first [original viral series], it's an exception, not the rule. It still doesn't make it a good idea to drown content in a promo.
Middle manager: how do we drown when our last 4 vids are in promoted vids?
Middle manager: Say we put this vid up on Sun or Mon.
Brad: because it usurps it in the subscriber box
Brad: for most users
Brad: and users will often only watch the latest if there are multiple up from the same person
Middle manager: k... so we give them until Monday?
Brad: give what until monday?
Middle manager: subscribers until monday to read their box
Brad: I guess. I'll talk to [CEO] on monday and tell him that putting a new video up immediately after the last one makes the last one get less views.
Middle manager: didn't we have this discussin with him earlier in the week?
Brad: It's also pointless to put a promo up for something that's not even out yet and can't be linked to.
Brad: I wasn't here.
Middle manager: k, but you were on the email.
Middle manager: I said in the email that I thought we should do a promo on monday and then a grace vid on the day that [viral series sequel] came out.
Middle manager: [CEO]'s response was definative. Something like, "I want to promote like crazy. This is the biggest series on the web and we should do everyting we can to make sure everyone knows about it."
Brad: yeah, I'll talk to him, there are other ways to promote that don't involve hurting our own content.
Middle manager: I'm sure there are. But bottom line is that if something is going to work it works regardless of other uploads happening around the same time.
Brad: that's not true.
Brad: something 'going viral' happens rarely, getting views regularly is a matter of managing distribution. We could upload all 10 episodes of [viral series sequel] at once and they wouldn't get nearly as many views, but it's not the failing of the content, it's a bad distribution plan.
Middle manager: yes, truth in that as well.
Middle manager: I'm headed off line now.
Middle manager: here's what I suggest.
Middle manager: Download the vid so you have it. Send [CEO] a note over the weekend. don't think it's something we should wait until monday to discuss. that would not be a good idea. Ultimately, it's [CEO]'s call.
Middle manager: I totally appreciate your point of view. it's awesome to have your voice and expertise in the mix

Brad O'Farrell: The joke's on you, I will never be truly happy because my standards for happiness were established in my youth and the media made me think a 'normal life' is the only way to be happy, which I will never be able to achieve because I'm gay.

On sanity and Nintendo fanboyism

Josh: So this kid on youtube is making tons of videos of games he stole (hacked / downloaded) for Wii.
Josh: How can I get his account removed?
Brad: I dont think thats illegal
Josh: Yes it is
Brad: I mean
Brad: against youtubes policy
Josh: Youtube lets people promote piracy?
Brad: I'd imagine so
Brad: they're pro free speech with anything they dont get in trouble for
Brad: they never get in trouble for game piracy
Brad: so its not a big deal to them
Brad: unlike gamefaqs
Josh: Well I'll just delete his videos myself then :-)
Brad: how?
Josh: I have the whole copyright thing for my account
Brad: thats a felony
Josh: Where I can delete videos that are WiiFolder copyrighted
Brad: falsely claiming copyright
Josh: meh
Brad: why do you care?
Josh: Cause the asshole steals games and puts videos up for it bragging about how he's a hacker
Brad: so
Brad: is your fanboyism really that bad that you give a shit?
Josh: So WiiFolder's goal is to get the first look at import games, and when he just steals them it's unfair to me who actually buys them
Josh: so fuck him
Josh: And it also pisses me off as someone who actually wants to work in game development.
Brad: you cant use copyright as a weapon to fight competitors
Brad: THAT will get YOU banned
Josh: If I wanted to I could contact Nintendo and they would force youtube to take his account down
Josh: I don't care about getting banned from youtube - I use revver it's way better
Brad: then do that
Brad: and they o
Brad: they probably wont
Josh: Actually i'm only going to remove the kids videos if he posts them of mario super sluggers b4 i do :-)
Brad: that's dumb
Josh: nah
Josh: It's dumb to think its ok for some cunt to steal games and promote it.
Josh: and youtube not care cause they flat out suck
Josh: stealing isn't a form of free speech
Brad: why
Brad: do
Brad: you
Brad: care
Josh: I already told u why
Brad: you are not Nintendo's body guard
Brad: you are not competing with this guy
Josh: WiiFolder makes its most profit from imported wii games cause it's usually the first place to cover them
Josh: With this twit stealing them like 3 days b4 they even release in japan he's the first
Josh: thus fuck him
Brad: you have no legal authority over him
Josh: Don't care
Brad: the fact that he's using vaguely illegal tricks to 'compete' doesn't give you any authority to stop him
Josh: vaguely? how stupid r u?
Josh: stealing is SORT OF illegal to you?
Brad: you're not nintendo
Josh: OK i'll come to your house and steal stuff from ya, cause its ok

I try.

Brad O'Farrell: hmm YOU KNOW I don't think I've ever actually spoken to you in person.
Ben: certainly we have looked at each other
Brad O'Farrell: I think all three times we met I didn't actually talk to you.
Ben: speaking is a low form of communication
Brad O'Farrell: true.
Brad O'Farrell: I talk to people through text more than I do with my mouth
Brad O'Farrell: and I type really fast
Brad O'Farrell: so when I try to dump a pay load of information in real life I'm like
Brad O'Farrell: "wow talking is really inefficient."
Ben: yeah
Ben: pretty soon we'll be telephatic
Brad O'Farrell: Plus on IM you don't know what the person is doing between IMs so it makes awkward pauses virtually non-existant, so I can say stuff like "I'd drug and rape Christopher Ford and then make the ensuing carnage look like some kind of freak accident." without having to worry about the awkward pause repercussions.
Brad O'Farrell: see, you could just be checking your email now
Brad O'Farrell: I don't know
Ben: wow that's weird thing to say brad
Ben: i'm goign to go to the beach now
Brad O'Farrell: haha. ok.
Ben: if you want to talk, just send me a TELEPATHIC BRAIN MESSAGE

Tom: anyway it's late
Brad O'Farrell: what
Brad O'Farrell: wait
Brad O'Farrell: wait
Tom: I'm gonna go to bed
Brad O'Farrell: what
Brad O'Farrell: you can't call that a troll
Tom: totally can
Brad O'Farrell: that was like misunderstanding leading to confusion
Tom: you were all like
Tom: "BradOFarrell: this BradOFarrell: is my blog though"
Brad O'Farrell: haha setting it up with "you were all like" doesn't automatically ad a subtext of being owned that wasn't originally there
Tom: if there's no subtext of being owned there
Tom: then pls.
Tom: stop lying about subtext.
Brad O'Farrell: It's like you said "the pen is red" and I was like "no it's not it's blue." and then you're like "haha OWNED!!"
Tom: well, meta-troll'd

Ben: will you accept this challenge?
Brad O'Farrell: Yes.

Brad: really?
Josh: um cause politics are lame and all messed up
Josh: also very boring and pointless
Brad: but. you don't get the joke?
Josh: no
Brad: ...neat.
Josh: so whats the joke
Brad: Barrack Obama is black
Brad: Hillary is not
Josh: he doesn't look black, seemed light mexican to me
Brad: ...he's black.
Josh: weird
Josh: so whats the joke?
Brad: she's been doing every dirty trick in the book to try to stay in the race. The joke is that she'd go so far as to paint her face black and rip off Obama's imagery and tag lines.
Josh: I see
Josh: But don't all politics try all dirty tricks?
Josh: so the joke is bias and fail
Brad: Not... really. "All politicians are bad people, generally speaking." doesn't really negate the fact that one is going way beyond the expected level of scumminess for any politician.
Josh: Meh
Josh: next time send me a youtube video of some chick with a huge rack
Brad: Damnit Josh.
