He's never sailed VV so he needs VV content. Also, re: his switch from the Dec 3 to Nov 22 sailing of Ascent, he even admits, "I'm going to be one of the first people to have content from on board Celebrity Ascent." That's it in a nutshell. For him, providing Ascent content on 11/22 is more valuable than providing it on 12/3 as other vloggers will have covered it already. live and learn I was unaware of this "profit motive" by U tubers. Do they actually get paid? ( I mostly use U tube for music and kiddie stuff for my grands!) I generally do.not watch these videos . The few I have seen are poorly done, way too long and often boring. Just the viewpoint of someone I do.not know. .We only watch informational posts by the cruise line and real guests on U tube. Cruise critic has many experienced cruises whose reviews we trust because we actually know them or have followed them for a long time..like Georgia! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Videos on YouTube earn money by having subscribers and video views (you need to hit a certain amount before you get paid by Google). I like watching the videos for stress relief but also for different point of view. I've been avoiding certain platforms for opinions (shall we say a certain social media site) because people can be rude if you don't agree with them on something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For awhile there was the same one over and over...hmmm!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to presume YT is the same as my work measurements for ads as both owned by Google but there is a minimum amount of time required for it to 'count' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, thanks...I know she is also cruising on 12/1, so wondering if she will bump Beyond. I haven’t been notified, but just wanted to be sure.

CardowMD Posted November 21, 2023 #140 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Many YouTubers can make over $1M. When they have a provocative title, it’s called click bate to get you to check out their videos. I do subscribe to several travel& cruise channels, but have unsubscribed on occasion when they go in a direction I don’t support. I watch to visualize the ships, locations, hotels, cabins, etc. i am looking forward to getting on Ascent this coming Sunday, and need some more training to be able to post any photos, but others in this cruise have that covered.

Rare countess5 Posted November 21, 2023 #147 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Ascent is sitting at Pier 25 this morning, maybe the newest gets 25. What time do you depart on Wednesday? Have to watch the web cam! 👀 Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted November 21, 2023 Author #148 Share Posted November 21, 2023 It's a dreary day in the ATL but vacation has officially begun. We are off the the airport and once we get over the traffic hump it will hopefully be smooth sailing. I've scouted several MARTA stations along the I85 corridor in case we need to make a quick exit and take the train into the airport instead. Combine holiday travel and light rain and it makes for a perfect storm on the Atlanta highways and byways. One advantage we have going for us is that most metro area schools are off this week so this should significantly reduce the traffic on the roads. A 60 mile trek to the airport could easily take two hours on a good day! Wish us luck! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New to us but wanted to be more downtown. Shout out to @Spif Barwunkel! Any recommendations from @Spif Barwunkel are golden. 🍸🏆 Cheers! We typically stay at the Riverside on Los Olas before our ft. Lauderdale cruises- How was the Hyatt Centric? Good location? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
