Can't publish a translation of my channel description

Whenever I add a translation to my channel description while keeping the same name, I receive an error like this:

  • This name is not suitable. Please provide another one.

I received another error message when I tried to edit the description and delete the translation:

  • You have entered too many invalid names. Please try again in 24 hours.

To be completely honest, I've never broken any rules, but this bug is making me frustrated.

If anyone has encountered this before or knows how to resolve this issue, please leave a comment with a fix or workaround.

Why Cheddar has become hot garbage this past month and alternative channels with similar content

For those that don't know Cheddar was a channel that posted around ten minute videos answering questions you probably didn't think to ask. For example some of their most popular videos are about why the US doesn't like roundabouts, why sitcoms stopped using laugh tracks, and why 3D logos fell out of style so quickly.

In the past week they've started posting significantly more frequently but it has all been traditional news style videos.

I decide to look it up and came across this Variety post about it:

Cheddar, founded in early 2016, was acquired by cable operator Altice USA in 2019 for $200 million. Last Thursday Dec. 28, Altice USA said it sold Cheddar to Archetype, a media company owned by private-equity firm Regent, for undisclosed terms.

On Jan. 2, Cheddar employees received an email informing them that they were to suspend work immediately, per the Times. “We would like to have given you more notice of this action, but the decision was necessitated by unforeseen internal and external factors that required rapid adjustments in our business strategy,” the message said.

It seems like they are motivated to redirect the channel into something new.


If you are looking for similar channels that answer questions you didn't ask (or couldn't be bothered to find answers for) I'd recommend checking out one of the following channels.

Vox has some videos like Why we all need subtitles now and UV lights kill viruses. Why aren't they everywhere? some of their other videos have a bit to do with politics.

Half As Interesting is good if you are looking for something similar but with a bit of added humor.

Casual Navigation is also pretty neat if you have an interest in ships or sailing. Similarly there's also Practical Engineering. It's more about infrastructure.

Can you think of any other educational channels that cover things you might not have thought to ask?

  • I'll try to add links to the channels above and the Cheddar videos I mentioned later today

Other art/building timelapse channels like Brick Builder?

Cross-posted from: Original Post in [email protected].

And to: here and this post in [email protected]

For reference Brick Builder is a channel built around timelapse videos of putting together Lego sets. Sometimes I like to kick back and watch these and other timelapse videos of people drawing, building, etc. so I'm wondering what some other similar channels might be.

Doesn't have to be Lego-building or model-building btw, drawing, sculpting, 3D modeling, anything creative/crafty sped up a little is the idea here!

JRPG-focused channel with good/insightful writing?

I was watching some of Gaming Broductions' videos about JRPG history and although I appreciate the production values and the love the brothers seem to have for old JRPGs, there's something in the writing of their scripts that just rubs me the wrong way. It's two-pronged:

  1. Vocabulary and sentence construction: Reusing the same crutches (words and phrases) again and again: "Anyways...", "Moving on", "unique", "which I always thought was pretty X", "that's pretty cool", "it's pretty much X", "awesome", "literally and figuratively" (but one of the two adverbs makes no sense in context), "interestingly enough", "it's just not X", "yeah... this is just X", "yeah... pretty X you could say", "I've come to appreciate X", etc.

  2. Insight: This is the most important one. They usually don't have anything that interesting to say about the games or the tropes they cover, they just describe them. Maybe I'm spoiled by channels like TBSkyen, ErrantSignal, Pop Culture Detective, New Frame Plus but I wish to find a JRPG channel that engages with them critically and explores their themes beyond just (sometimes) naming them.
