Checking NTB's Numbers and Studying Why Videos Fail
ஜூலை 11, 2021
The day starts with a close read of NTB financial figures and suspicion that the Wiki numbers were wrong or manipulated, then widens into a theory of why some YouTube videos succeed, why others flop, and what that means for the presentation I am building.
Correcting NTB’s Wikipedia Figures With Its 2020 Accounts
6:30 a.m.
(d)
Good that I checked these figures myself.
Unbelievable.
I mean, in order for a Wiki page's article data to be wrong, somebody must've intentionally wronged it.
Wringed the numbers up.
This is the "statement of financial position" for NTB:
Total Assets = LK Rs 337b
Total Equity = LK Rs 35b
This is for 2020

On the Wiki it is 2019, these are the correct figures.
Why Some YouTube Videos Build Audiences and Others Flop
7:15 a.m.
I dunno, I am just deducing algebra, trying to make sense of things, just recording my opinions.
***
I saw that some videos, they are on YouTube, they get a lot of views, some don't do so well.
It's worth thinking about.
Some of them, like Anthony Bourdain's SL visit, they just got 100k views.
This is pretty medium or low. Medium low.
Some videos, like Thilanga's ad campaign only got 550 views on YouTube, he spent $100 for FB ad campaign or something--I dunno wtf happened there...
Jonathan Hirshon's few videos on YouTube, a few Sapare Aude videos by David Chichinadze only get like 100 or 200 views.
Jonathan's video got 500 or something IDK.
These are very low end of the spectrum results.
This is likely because they are not entertaining.
Also, it is just 1 video. It is not a steady, constant stream of new videos.
PewDiePie makes videos all the time, so, he builds an audience, some followers, they are regulars, they get the hormones, prolactin, epinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, whatever---
They keep watching, he gets his ad revenues, he has a brand, whatever.
Maybe even, the user identifies with this guy. They see him as 'maverick' or 'idol'.

This must be why those videos perform so well.
People might even want to share those videos or to talk about them.

Mark Wiens, he came to SL, he got more views than Tony, he is more apolitical.
Shenelle Rodrigo, she tries her best, she just gets 10k views or something--
flopped.

For me, this presentation I'm making has a clear aim.
Taking Mirtazapine Amid Suicidal Intent and Political Anger
1:00 p.m.
I am feeling asleep. I doubt I took my antidepressants. So, I just took 60 mg of Mirtazapine.
In case, I overdose, know, I wanted to die.
I hope, that Jacques, Jonathan, they take things over.
They can run things. Just develop the country, go high tech, partner Jewish people with Sinhalese people.
I am sad that US$1= LK Rs 200 now.
Very shameful, the country was mismanaged.
People like me were attacked, then, the country totally crashed, now I am also helpless.
Or not, I dunno, I can probably do something later.
But I don't really care, I want to move out of SL to the US,██████████████████████████████████████████████
Or maybe I do, I dunno.

There's people like this in Russia, China, I-Ran, in most parts of Africa, in the Muslim world, everywhere--
I hate how terribly manage the country is.
People with real qualifications are attacked.
I was attacked by all the customers.
Just because I wrote "customers".
I mean, how stupid can they get? That's who they are to me, what else did they think?
"Prospects"?
FFS.
They want to shut down high tech startups.
██████████████████████████████████████████████████
They can't even speak English, you say something in English, they don't understand what you're saying. That's what this was all about.
People in the US are thinking this place is a swamp, they're trying to put sanctions on SL next.
We're just going to war with them (criminals) for life.
It won't end.
I H word them.
Thilanga will be talking to them next time.
Gotabaya, Shavendra, they'll do it.
No matter what, they're going to pay for this.

Remeron, Minor Flashbacks and Hostile Thoughts About Enemies
1:15 p.m.
(b)
I just checked, I think I slept at 11:15 a.m.
So, yeah, this must be the correct time for me to start to feel sleepy.
I took 60 mg now. So, I will fall asleep.
The thing is, I felt sleepy before taking my antidepressants Remeron.
This is what scares me.
I guess, if I fell asleep without them, I would have a bad power nap of 2 or 3 hours only.
With the drugs, I will sleep for 6 or 8 hours.
No real noticeable problems.
No suicidal thoughts.
Minor flashbacks.
Each time I hear birds sing, I think *OMG ████ is a xyz, I have to xyz their people by xyz or Invade Tay or I who Ran.*
It's hell for them now.
I will just do anything to make it difficult for them.
I can do it.
I don't really have anything to complain about.
All my enemies, sucks to be them, ███, all of them, they are in real hell right now.
Jagath, he doesn't have 250 shops, just 120 now.
Sort of kicked out of the family.
I don't hate him.
I'm living in a castle, we own the road, things will work out, I don't need to worry, all my enemies are in pain--
All you hear my enemies goin'
Saying It Is Lal’s Whole Family
1:30 p.m.
(b)
It's not just Lal, it's his whole FAMILY!
