This is for my Undusthings sister channel which are mostly educational explainer videos.

Bakit taglish yung language? Pinoy ang main audience mo.

Yes, the content at the moment is predominantly about Filipino culture — but I don't like to box myself in on a certain audience. If it's old and I feel like it deserves a look regardless of its country of origin, I'm going to cover it. For example, I'm currently finishing a script on Webdog, a British app that pretty much made RSS and blogging a thing long before it became mainstream. Not a single article or video exists about it on the internet. That's worth talking about and in line with the channel's ethos of prioritizing quality original content over dictating Wikipedia entries.

As for taglish, I'm more comfortable with it and I feel that's how most Filipinos communicate in reality. Wala naman nagsasalita these days ng full on straight tagalog, and this is coming from someone who hates speaking in English in person! LOL. It also separates me from the hundreds of other local nostalgia channels like Sangkay TV.

Is that your voice??

It's not. I use a text-to-speech AI with quite possibly the most authentic Filipino-sounding voice I could find. I mean it had you fooled, lol. It's just impossible for me to do any clean voice overs given the circumstances — and that's living in a bungalow with a kid and construction work on the neighboring lot. Doing a Zoom call with a dynamic mic feels like I'm in Ubon Ratchathani.

Do please!

While I've done (and intend to do more) lost media stuff, I try to avoid it as much as possible. There's just too many channels doing that already. And if it's lost, chances are there's little material to work with in terms of visuals.

What makes your channel different?

For one, I use (often) never-before-seen clips directly from my vault. Even if it's not rare, it's still my own capture. I try to avoid using clips that are not mine as much as I can avoid it.

Secondly, I try to focus on topics that are often not covered by anyone else. Sometimes it can be too nichey and only a few people could relate, but that's alright. I just don't see the value proposition of doing the exact same thing as any other channel.

Most importantly, I'm not in it for the money. I'm not going to put up a 15-minute video of nothing just so I'd have more advertising time or watch hours. If there's only enough material for a 4-minute video then that's it. I'm not going to paraphrase an entire Wikipedia article — you're going to get my own thoughts and experiences. Any centavo I earn (if ever I become eligible) just goes back to producing content. Filmora's assets library can be pricey, those bastards.

I'd also love to watch something that I actually like. That's why you would occasionally get a post-modernist thesis on the UAAP opening. Total headscratcher for everyone else, but amusing to me. 🤣

The country is, but some cities have gender-inclusive laws. Quezon City was one of the first to initiate a safe spaces act, SOGIESC, etc. way before most cities.

Lemmy seriously needs kindergarten-level SEO. None of the communities barely show up on Google.

All-Star brought attention to Mystery Men, which is a criminally underrated movie. So, that's another reason to like that song.

Exactly. I hate Reddit more than most people here (I'm a mod on a sub that has more than a million subscribers and felt disrespected by spez), but the fact of the matter is they're the gold standard of quality answers and discussions.

I would want Lemmy to get to that level, not immediately, but that's the dream.

I'm one of the many who deactivated not too long after it launched. My dashboard was just being filled with so many users (mostly celebrities and influencers) who I don't recall ever following or even being on my sphere of interest. It doesn't help that their posts are inorganic attempts to spur engagement.

VPN. I bought it during the pandemic not for privacy or government spy conspiracy shit, but because it was on "sale" (something like $40 for 38 months or something) and I wanted to try out if skirting geoblock was worth it. It's now probably one of the most-used tech we have in the house. Great for running Max obviously but also for work.

I forgot Evernote existed. Time to back up my notes from 2014.

Lemmy needs to come up with their own term for an AMA.
