Bots and YouTube...

 I didn't fully realize, but the more I think about it, the lost views and the gained and lost subscribers I see on my YouTube channel are due to Bots.

Bots watch and sub, and then unsub. They get flagged by YouTube.

And when I get new subscribers and don't see who it is, there;s a good chance it's a Bot.

Lovely..blech.

Another reason my plans at 1000 videos make sense...

But of course many views are from non-subs of course, lol.

WAMR Radio: Mid-Spring 2005 New Releases Playlist

 



sElf - Summersound 3:35

------------------------------------

This is a beta test/dry-run deal. That's a playlist for May/Mid Spring 2005. 

15 Songs/Tracks 2 hours, 11 minutes exactly or 131 minutes.

Script? haven't done it yet or for this one, but I may try. I would estimate if this is the 2 hours 11 minutes it is, with talking, the Podcast would go maybe but not quite 3 hours, but close.

Paige Bueckers..twitter paused

 The Trash that never ends from the weak feeble minded trolls are among several reasons I've Paused twitter indefinitely.

The clips of Paige were decent in her 1st preseason game with the Dallas Wings. 

1st game for fuck's sake.

"4th best rookie in the game" bullshit.

These mofos needs to go back to Troll school.

Music Release History Radio Show/Podcast and PLAYLISTS (immediately) Update

The plan is looking to be:

YouTube: likely on Pause at or around 1000 videos barring something changing to focus on this in the short and maybe long term. Shorts and.or TikTok on the other hand may be still done. This likely will be sometime in 2026 or 2027..maybe 2028 even. It mostly depends on when I hit 1000 videos 


Instead of 20 Songs and 3 hours..it'll likely be more like by decade

60's: 5 songs 

70's: 5 or possibly up to 10 songs

80's: 5 or possibly up to 10 songs

90's: 10 songs or possibly more

2000's: 10 or maybe closer to 20 songs

2010's: 10 or maybe closer to 20 songs

2020's: 10 or maybe closer to 20 songs

Windows of time:

Selecting 1 month that includes songs from releases released in January along with the releases from the previous month and the following month. Aka a 'Season" and a part of the season that, that month is. So the following months are considered:


January: Early Winter (+December and February)

February: Mid Winter (+January and March)

March: Late Winter (+February and April)

April: Early Spring (+March and May)

May: Mid Spring (+April and June)

June: Late Spring (+May and July)

July: Early Summer (+June and August)

August: Mid Summer (+July and September)

September: Late Summer (+August and October)

October: Early Fall (+September and November)

November: Mid Fall (+October and December)

December: Late Fall (+November and January)

So January (Early Winter) would include songs from December and February,
February (Mid Winter) would include songs from January and March, etc

And the songs chosen are intended to be nearly all from the information I have on the release Date or Month.

Playlists and then a podcast at some point? Initially, a Playlist and I may do a writeup (or script per say). The hope would be if the time is allowed, to record an actual Podcast where I get to play historical DJ and put it up on Substack or Mixcloud. Clips? well..not ideally, but that may find a way to get around copyright concerns (and Mixcloud or Substack vs YouTube, Spotify, etc).

And the Radio Station name (or Podcast even) may be called KAMR or WAMR
(AMR = All Media Reviews, K or W being common for the 1st Letter in a Radio Station depending on location based on where they are broadcasting from relative to being East or West of the Mississippi River I guess).

Doing the same Month/Season multiple times? yes because some albums/releases will not necessarily be included due to the song/time limit. So going back to a month/season would make sense depending on how committed I get. It may be several years though before the same month/season is done again.

Research? while I've done a lot, there's still a lot to do of course. I estimated, it's approximately 720 Months/Seasons going back to 1965 through the present. I will do as much as I can, but also may do some on the fly aka I have many of them in order and listed, but will miss some, and then go back at some point. Hence that among other reasons to plan to do the same Month/Season again eventually.
