  • @theblackdaniels.official
    @theblackdaniels.official 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Like the video's and the progress you've made in every video. Here are my tips:
    - Cancel out alle background distractions when you're having a presentation, go inside and take some demonstration material with you. Like the 2 Bird scooters in this case.
    _ The whole presentation on the scooters outside felt like a really long sentence, I lost you pretty quick. Pauze and divert is a tactic used in real life presentations and long texts in media, put the viewers attention breifly on to something else just to keep them sharp and awake. Something like "the difference in these scooters is" and then "in a moment i'll show you ". Reyes does that with jokes, just find your thing.
    - Kids are cute, but parrent got to remember that the rest of the world won't think the same as you do... I get the impression this channel is more business than personal (although mixed with personal), keep your focus on that. Liked the intro with you're kid, but more if you showed it as a side-joke, instead of "serious" as an intro.
    Please don't think I try to burn ya or something, it's my observation and I do have some expercience in media (I have a TH-cam Format agency). SO I really do hope these things can help you, and if not just skip it ;)

    also less weight means your car doesn't have to work as hard, which means you save money on gas as well. I'm not sure if you mentioned that.

  • @craigwflys
    @craigwflys 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Edgar again very impressive nice hard work every night. For me it's a second gig. Been Juicing longer than capturing Birds (I actually was a Bird mech before) but as of today Bird comes out the winner. I agree with you Lime is much pickier time wise than Bird. I've harvested only 300 Limes but I still have a 100% perfect serve score which has been challenging. You didn't mention Limes reservation system which I sort of like but as soon as they came out with it they dropped the base rate by 50 cents. Also any Lime harvested after midnight isn't due to be served until 3 pm which is kind of nice plus the bounties go up to $6-$7 per Lime. Any Bird captured before 4 am isn't due until 10 am after that they go "overdue" and your account is locked and you can't capture any more until you release everything. However any Birds released after 10 am only means that you don't get paid until the next day. For me it's no big deal. But ultimately you have to release all captured Birds by 3 pm. After that you don't get paid anything. So with Lime it's 7 am sharp. Bird you can drag things out all the way until 3 pm. Not sure if there are long term consequences if you constantly release after 10 am. bottom line I like Bird better because there are so much more of them than lime which just makes getting them easier.
    About the weights (I remember weighing them when I was a mechanic). I can't remember but I think the Limes are about 37 lbs. The older metallic (Bird Zeros) are 40 lbs. The newer (Bird One's) are also about 37 lbs. I like the newer One's much better. Remember the Bird ES models (those were only 26.5 lbs) and lastly (my favorite model) the M365 were 27.5 lbs. Keep up the hard work my friend :)
