I might have actually figured out how to break into #youtube now:

#scoopz signal boosting essentially.

Because my Scoopz is going viral, and then I mention I have a YouTube page on my bio, and it's been getting me far more attention than the YouTube Algorithm ever gives me.

Sad when the systems of ANOTHER PLATFORM are required to break into YouTube honestly.

Sometimes the algorithm decides I get NONE.

Fix your BS YouTube, it's garbage.

I can actually make money on #scoopz and it is feasible for me!

In less than a week I have acquired 128 followers and 85000 views.

If I keep up that pace, which I will if I stay consistent and keep posting interesting stuff, in theory I could be monetized in a month or two.

You require 1000 followers, 3 videos and 100,000 total views for their creator fund.

I am going a bit viral so that may be sooner!

I need more equipment and ideas! :D

Former #FiveThirtyEight data editor George Elliott Morris, who was #laidoff in a #pollster purge along with all his staff last week at #ABCNews noted in a personal post on #MelonHusk 's X platform that a decade of their past poll #analytics work has been deleted from public view.

#Disney owned news network "has now fully taken down the old 538 archives, including all interactive projects since 2014." Adding this insult to injury of his job loss, he called disappearance of their #archives "totally unacceptable and a real betrayal of the public."

I was interviewed Jessica Saxby for the philosophy journal Technophany. This is mostly a sequel/update to my essay 'Crapularity Hermeneutics' from 2016 (published as part of the Open Access book "Pattern Discrimination" in 2018)

Dear Fediverse,

I need some help to survive in this capitalist dystopia, which means I need money :neocat_laugh_sweat: Specifically I'm looking for a fulfilling position focused on helping disadvantaged folx. Although one that pays well and isn't evil would do in a pinch 💁‍♀️

Many of y'all know me and what I stand for, but here's the pitch anyway:

What I offer:
- like 15 years working with uncomfortably large data
- experience as head of data, head of analytics, sr. manager of data science, and sr. analyst across several industries (primarily gaming, but also fintech, construction, AI, and B2B/B2C/C2C marketplaces)
- skills in SQL, Python, statistics, psychology, management, data science, data privacy, research, roguelikes, and other useful things
- a unique blend of work and education history that make me really good at predicting how people react to things

What I need:
- a full-time, salaried position paying $200k+ USD (with flexible time off)
- remote work (but I'm fine occasionally visiting a Seattle-based office)

What I prefer:
- working on novel projects, for organizations that make humanity better in a tangible way
- working with departments like trust & safety, fraud-prevention, user experience, or R&D
- not working for departments like sales & marketing

Finally, thank you all for being amazing and supportive 💝 💝 I'm so lucky to have the friends and contacts I've made here, and I really appreciate any help you can give.

(You can also just throw money at me if you want 💁‍♀️ buymeacoffee.com/alice.watson)

I’m looking for an analytics provider for my blog. Anyone got recommendations?

Requirements are essentially very simple:

Free
Respecting privacy (I don’t want to have a cookie pop up)

I only got about a dozen or so page views a day, so it doesn’t really matter, but it’s still always nice to know what’s going on, so to say.
