Amelia Dimoldenberg says publicists ignored her interview show for years but she can now be picky over A-list guests

Just a decade ago, Amelia Dimoldenberg found it impossible to drum up any mainstream celebrities to come on her mock date YouTube show, in which she chats awkwardly with guests over chicken and chips.

Even persuading a local actor connected with her London youth club to come on took years of prodding. Managers of A-listers with movies or albums to push instead battled to claim a spot on the hallowed cushions of the primetime TV chatshow sofa.

Dustin Bluck:

Independent podcast apps are not growing as a category. This is not a particular secret, but perhaps you haven’t seen it stated explicitly. It’s the sort of thing that has to be inferred, but there’s plenty of available data if you look for it. While the podcasting sector has seen growth, this has occurred almost entirely on platforms like YouTube, and the independent podcast app userbase has mostly just stood still.

[…]

I’m sure somewhere out there a 21-year-old just downloaded Castro or Pocket Casts for the first time and thinks RSS feeds are awesome (if you are this person, please email me). But every number I can see indicates the userbase is both static and aging. Every new customer I talk to has used some combination of Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Pocket Casts, or Castro for at least the last 5 years if not the last 10.

[…]

Perhaps there are healthy businesses that get very few new users but instead gracefully age with the ones they have. Ferrari maybe? Buddy, smartphone apps are not one of those businesses.

[…]

I would rather work on flashy features to capture new users, but, reality being what it is, I have to think about things in terms of both the health of the ecosystem and what will actually help retain existing podcast app users.

Nick Heer:

Anil Dash wrote, in 2014, that the simple phrase wherever you get your podcasts is a “radical statement”:

[…] Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that’s supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that’s not owned by any one company, that can’t be controlled by any one company, and that allows people to have ownership over their work and their relationship with their audience.

Video podcasting changes that. In its simplest form, it is just a YouTube channel, which means it is siloed and controlled by Google. Spotify also supports video but only in its app.

Ilya Birman:

So Marco described a problem. What if someone manually asks to download an episode when they already have three downloaded? You can’t just immediately delete it to keep things tidy. So what do you do? Marco added a special hidden “episode downloaded manually” flag to the database, so those episodes would not count towards the limit.

This is one more example of how even the most seemingly trivial features require thinking through and accounting for different cases that may not be obvious at first glance. Every user interface designer and product designer should collect and absorb examples like this.

[…]

Finally, Marco’s wife Tiff suggests a solution to all the problems: just don’t let users download more episodes, she said, and show them a message, roughly: “Your episode limit is three, but this would be the fourth, denied”.

Marco liked the solution. I didn’t. Sure, it solves Marco’s problems, but not the user’s.

Marcin Wichary:

Birman presents this as “Let me click,” but I wanted to offer two alternative/​complementary principles that helped me before:

• Let me do things in any order. Here’s Google Home app, where I can change the temperature and the time for holding – but if I change the time first, it frustratingly resets when I subsequently change the temperature. It forces one specific order in an interface that suggests any order is okay[…]
• The current action has the most momentum. The user is right there, active, tapping on things, wanting to get stuff done. If Overcast indeed throws a “your episode limit is three” message, then it forces the user to remember how to get to the settings and change it. The momentum is lost. The decisions of past me should not be as important as the decisions of present me.

Marco Arment:

FWIW, the entire strict-limit feature is gone in the pending update (awaiting App Store review). EVERYONE hated it.

Now I’m just displaying the added-manually status in the UI and allowing it to be toggled manually in the “…” menu.

Marco Arment:

I’ve needed to evolve my expectations for what my role in Overcast is.

After building up a large, passionate userbase over a very long time, it’s not really entirely mine anymore. I can’t just do whatever I want with it.

And the growth era of open/RSS/indie/whatever podcast apps is over. The business is now about serving and retaining my existing customers for as long as possible.

So I can add things here and there, very carefully, but I can’t really change anything significant.

She discusses Hive, decentralized publishing, digital sovereignty, and ways creators can preserve posts and videos beyond centralized platforms.

Com o recurso de mensagens diretas no YouTube, é possível compartilhar facilmente um vídeo que tenha curtido com quem você quiser.

Porém, como todo mensageiro, pode ser que você se depare com algum contato indesejado ou com quem não queira mais conversar. Pensando nisso, o aplicativo do Google permite bloquear uma pessoa.

Confira como é simples fazer isso! 🎬

Abra o app do YouTube no seu dispositivo (iPhone ou iPad) e toque no ícone de mensagens, localizado na parte superior direita.

Selecione a conversa com a pessoa que quer bloquear, vá até o botão com três pontinhos (no canto superior direito) e escolha “Bloquear as mensagens desta pessoa”.

O destinatário não receberá uma notificação sobre o bloqueio; depois de bloquear alguém, a conversa com ela vai permanecer na sua caixa de entrada, mas não será possível enviar novas mensagens.

Ao fazer esse bloqueio, você também não verá mais os chats ao vivo e os comentários dessa pessoa, nem receberá menções dela. O canal bloqueado também não vai mais receber as suas mensagens no chat ao vivo, comentários ou menções.

Com a reintrodução do recurso de troca de mensagens privadas no YouTube, ficou fácil compartilhar os seus vídeos prediletos com amigos ou familiares.

Se já estiver usando essa função, saiba que é possível também cancelar o envio de uma mensagem compartilhada dessa maneira.

Veja como fazer facilmente isso no seu iPhone ou iPad! 💬

Comece abrindo o app do YouTube no seu dispositivo. Selecione o botão de mensagens (na parte superior direita) e entre na conversa onde a mensagem está localizada.

Mantenha o dedo pressionado por alguns segundos em cima da mensagem, toque em “Cancelar envio” e novamente em “Cancelar envio” para confirmar a ação.

O YouTube informa que, ao cancelar o envio de uma mensagem, ela não aparecerá mais para as pessoas na conversa.

Além disso, é importante lembrar que a pessoa para quem você enviou a mensagem já pode tê-la visualizado e saber que foi apagada.
