00:00Hi, this is it, the last one of the series of 12 monthly Diddy Tiger Music Company and Associated Adventure vlogs.
00:10It's now autumn and a bit sunny, hasn't been.
00:18I said a month or so back, I'd probably finish this at 12, having made a whole year of them.
00:28Because not enough really happens every month to make it worthwhile.
00:32But yes, it's autumn now and that feeling of change is always in the air I find in September.
00:42I think that's to do with the feeling of going back to school or going to college or going to uni.
00:49New teachers, new classrooms, maybe a new building, new friends or your friends have changed over the summer or you've changed over the summer.
00:59So that sort of feeling has always sort of stayed with me.
01:05It always feels like a period of conclusion and renewal much more so than the first day of spring or New Year's Day or anything like that or your birthday or crisps.
01:17Winter solstice, any of those things.
01:23This vague transition through September feels like the time to stop doing some things and start doing other things.
01:31And there will be things coming up between now and the end of the year.
01:37I'm not entirely sure what they are yet.
01:41There's, I think there's some books coming out over the next few months that I might have had a hand in.
01:47But I'm not sure. I might just find out when I see them.
01:50There's trips away to do that I haven't really organised.
02:02I might go to, I think I'm going to Liverpool in November.
02:06If you're in Liverpool in November I'll see you there.
02:08I might go to Coventry for the day.
02:11Some London things we need to do.
02:15But yeah, it's all very vague.
02:22And you'll have to look for those on other places, other channels.
02:28Oh, my voice is going. That's good, isn't it?
02:35If you cast your mind back or if you just click back to when I did the first of these last autumn.
02:41I was saying at the time I was doing them as an experiment in seven or eight minute plus videos.
02:52It was purely to see how letting YouTube drop its mid-video adverts in would go.
03:03Because I'd always turn that off on anything for the long I've done before.
03:07But I was kind of curious just to see whether it would go at a pause for breath.
03:14Or at a stopping point where I hope it would be quiet and go, you know, cue the adverts.
03:24And then see what happened.
03:26What happened subsequently to that, as you might remember from earlier this year, not too long ago,
03:31was that YouTube then started putting in the artificial intelligence generated international language dubbing option.
03:42So you can watch this video in French German.
03:45I've spoken about this before.
03:46If you click on the audio settings if you're on YouTube and if you're watching this on Dailymotion you can't.
03:52You can't.
03:54That's all I meant.
03:57But yeah.
03:58So yeah, things change.
04:01It's like, you know when you go onto, maybe you go onto Facebook or Twitter one day and your message is inboxed or your bit to find your profile.
04:16When things have slightly been redesigned and shifted and just log in.
04:19Or like when your phone updates and things don't look quite the same.
04:22And then you get used to it really quickly and forget how it used to be before.
04:31Basically, what I'm getting at with this is that websites are sort of in constant change.
04:41And so the functions that were on YouTube and probably Dailymotion 12 months ago when I started vlogging,
04:51the things that have altered and the ways of the algorithms, the way of engaging, the way of getting views or generating income.
05:06These things are all in a slow change and things aren't quite what they were.
05:11Quite the same as they were last year.
05:14Anyway, on YouTube for about the last couple of years I've done a video, a video or sometimes two videos every day.
05:29And I've decided to go back to doing, to just publishing one ordinary video once a week on a Monday.
05:38Stick the adverts on at the start, which I haven't been doing, but I'm going to start putting the adverts on at the start of all the Monday videos.
05:47Just to see if income and views go up or down.
05:54Again, I'll change my mind about this at some point, but that's what I'm going to do for a while.
05:57I'll still be putting occasional shorts on YouTube because I'm still about three quarters of the way through trying to capture 500 songs from my dreams.
06:12I've got to about 370, so I'm aiming for 500. 500 is a good number.
06:17If you've got a big project, 500 is good. So yeah, I'm still aiming for that.
06:22So although there'll be only a monthly random YouTube video on my channel, there will still be occasional shorts as and when I dream them up and capture them and things like that.
06:34Until I get to 500 of those and then that all ends off.
06:37But then other projects will come along.
06:40I don't know what to do with Dailymotion.
06:43Whether I'll make some more music videos.
06:50Whether I'll record a different series of vlogs.
06:56There are other things that can be talked about.
06:59TV?
07:04Nah.
07:05I couldn't do a movie vlog because I don't like watching films much.
07:08I couldn't do a TV vlog because I don't watch much TV.
07:10But you know, I mean, things happen and you think of other things and sometimes they're good ideas and sometimes they're bad ideas.
07:18You've got to try them out. You shouldn't have to do everything forever.
07:27Just do it until you get bored of doing it.
07:35But that'll probably do.
07:37I've got to go to work in a bit.
07:39Buckles the cat is having a nap on the patch of sunlight on the carpet down there.
07:44We've not seen Hera yet this morning but she'll be in for her breakfast and then she'll hiss at us and go out for the day again.
07:50As she does because she's a grumpy cat.
07:52But we love her very much.
07:54And thanks for watching the last 12 months.
07:57And if you've got to the end of this video, thank you again.
07:59Because there's really no mention to it apart from that to all folks, I guess.
08:04Yes, I'm going to lean in a frightening way over the phone and switch it off.
08:10And another vlog will be along one day when I think about what I might do.
