Samsung Secrets...what’s next? And invalid traffic is back!! | Minus Sixteen Ep. 52

On this episode we are joined by Daniel from Tech with Benefits and as he is Mr Samsung it was too good of an opportunity to not corner him and pry out of him what he thinks may be coming in January when Samsung launches the S24 Ultra. What AI features can we possibly expect? Will LOG or RAW video make its way to Samsung’s flagship phone in ’24? Daniel gives us the inside scoop on what his dream camera set-up would be and Alex talks about shooting 8K on his S23.   Alex covers his recent VLOG-style videos and tells us about where the inspiration came from and Daniel tells us how he makes Samsung content in between events and releases.   David has seen some good growth recently on his channel and pulls back the curtains on what he thinks has been at the heart of that growth. Also, having been hit by the invalid traffic strike in the summer David and the boys cover the latest fallout from it and how creators are still being left without answers.   Don’t forget, if you enjoy our weekly podcast to subscribe, like, share - and if you listen on Apple Podcasts - to leave us a rating (hopefully a 5-star one!) as well! 🙏🏻   Download our streaming software https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_2&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=david-lewis   Alex’s latest video: https://youtu.be/-EJ1NxYOQ74?si=nmjTqPsVVabPz-Ep Daniel’s latest video https://youtu.be/NCg4yKP1J8Q?si=7iGeQAQPCA-HrUfm Alex on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlexGTech1 Read Alex on Medium: https://medium.com/@alexgearandtech  David on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Dtalkingtec David’s latest video: https://youtu.be/qgO4Nwzek-4 Read David on Medium: https://medium.com/@Davidtalkingtech Get in touch: [email protected]   00:00 Intro 01:20 The Samsung season is coming  03:30 The Google updates - time to play 04:30 What can we expect from Samsung in 2024 07:25 AI and Samsung 09:10 Daniel’s perfect camera specs 10:35 What can Samsung deliver - the video camera? 11:40 Alex & 8K dreams… 12:55 Can Samsung improve the audio in ’24? 15:50 Will RAW & LOG video ever come to Samsung phones? 18:15 Will David actually buy the S24? 19:50 Alex’ approach to his channel… 22:20 Lifelong iPhone user switches…how to make ‘genuine’ videos! 23:55 The correct use of clickbait… 25:45 Danile - and how he keeps content coming… 27:40 Daniel & his retention figures 30:30 The barrier to entry gets lower…everyone can make YouTube videos 33:55 Finding your voice on YouTube  35:40 Alex and his VLOGS 38:40 The importance of uploading regularly 40:40 The upload schedule 43:00 Length matters after all… 44:15 The 8-minute rule and the benefits of taking a break - avoiding burnout 47:00 David’s channel growth - finally!
