This was supposed to go up in Saturday Night Showcase’s place but of course I had technical issues. Anyway, I’ve learned a bit more about what is and isn’t going to be lost with my YouTube Partnership status and some other reasons as to why this change is being implemented. It still isn’t fair and I don’t know who this is going to hurt, but it’s still worth trying to get right.

We have a theme for the Prize Fight. I don’t mind a theme for the Prize Fight because it’s a special occasion. Our tournament name has been “Roundhouse” but it wasn’t clear if it was a roundhouse punch or a roundhouse kick coming our way. Well, it’s the roundhouse kick as the Prize Fight rule is that the fight must include a foot to the face. And there’s only comic I could possibly use…because it’s the only comic I reviewed this week that matched the criteria.
If you recall from Monday, Nightwing had been shot, but why let a little thing like being shot twice get in the way of beating a bad guy up? Especially when you have bulletproof clothing.
No, this sadly isn’t a team-up with Spider-Man.

Let’s Twist Again (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
While M. Night Hardtospelllastname is know for abusing twist endings in his films, the twist can be used to good storytelling effect. And that can also be true when fans who have “seen it all” can figure out what’s going to happen. Of course if you make the twist satisfying then the fans feel smarter and they may still stick around. ScreenCrush contributor Kevin Fitzpatrick offers up 17 examples of such plot twists the fans caught on to early. There are some from the same shows and a bunch of different ones and a lot of spoilers if you haven’t caught up with the series. And the internet hasn’t already ruined it for you.

Tonight I was supposed to have the next installment of Finally Watched, which was pre-empted by the debut of the new Black Lightning TV show. Both of those are going to have to wait for next week. And it’s all thanks to YouTube.
You see YouTube, in their infinitely questionable wisdom, has changed their YouTube partnership policies, and it’s a change that makes me question whether or not a small creator like myself is welcome. It will depend on what I’ll be losing because soon I won’t be a partner anymore. I wasn’t making money from the videos anyway so that’s no loss. It’s the other tools I won’t have that is going to hurt me, especially when it comes to promoting my videos and it worries me that YouTube is pulling the same stunt on less popular creators that Blip did, affecting how I trust it as a platform. I explain more in the following v-log.
