Stories of the brilliant and flawed

The most culturally significant place in European history ⬆️
Athens was the birthplace of Western philosophy, democracy, debate, drama (comedy and tragedy), and to a large extent, art and architecture.
All within a 15km2 radius (urban Athens)…
And 100 key years (500-400BC).
Grateful for the Athenians 🌞

I’m holding one of the most virtuosic novels ever written...
Which is also one of the most disturbing.
I’ve two new videos out on it...
And apparently, nearly half of all viewers are watching them on a tv??

On this video I made a great discovery…
Video essay views are (apparently) correlated with Google searches for the movie the essay was about.
On Jan 19:
My video on Song to Song (2017) got 35k views.
Also on Jan 19:
There were more Google searches for Song to Song than any other day that month…
Plus a big increase on the 12 month average.
Today, my video has 350k views.
If only 1% of those viewers rented or streamed the film, that would be 3.5k streams…
Or, assuming each rental is worth $3…
$10.5k in revenue for the studio.
The implication of this is beautiful:
Video essays are a win-win for creators AND IP holders.
Commentary doesn’t ‘steal’ IP…
It sends new audiences to it.

500k views for Buster Keaton!! And an important lesson:
B&W thumbnails = playing YouTube on hard mode...
Turns out there’s a good reason why gigantic channel thumbs use as many primary colours as possible

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
