Yeah those sorts of positions are usually locked to college students. So once you graduate you can no longer apply despite those being the positions you're qualified for.

yeah learned my lesson. I might try again though and just lie and say I'm latina when I'm not. maybe I'll start getting some offers that way lol.

yeah sorry I don't have that sort of mental health to be able to just continually throw myself at a wall for years on end when there ain't even a person on the other side.

If they're amab and self identifying as nonbinary, they'd be transgender by definition.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
How do you distinguish between the people who genuinely identify as nonbinary and those who are dishonestly doing it?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I'm a woman and wasn't even at the event. No clue it was going on, and it seems like it'd be far too expensive for me to attend in the first place. If they're looking for women who are eager to work for them, they're looking in the wrong place.

>hiring for entry level

>saying people are underqualified

The problem is with the companies, not the job seekers. Actually offer true entry level positions, and actually hire the people that apply.

I'm a trans woman and don't bother applying because I know that my resume isn't even looked at, and the interview hurdles are just so high that they'll just say no anyway. What's the point if companies refuse to hire me?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Tech is overcrowded as a field and it gets worse each year. So yes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
So they identified as men, and the event allowed the men to come? Then I'm failing to see what the issue is?

If you're going through a music label then ask the company you're working with. They absolutely get paid per view (as per the pre-roll ads) if you aren't managing the uploads yourself. But what they pay you may be different depending on what they're doing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it matter if I skip sponsored ad segments in YouTube videos?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Youtube content creators get paid via a few different methods:
1. Pre-roll and mid-roll ads. This is youtube's actual and intended monetization method. These are ads that play that are separate from the video and are personalized per-user. They often have a "skip" button you can click after a few seconds. Youtube pays creators per view for these ads. You should check youtube's monetization section on the channel settings to set this all up.
2. Sponsors. These are baked into the video where the content creator usually goes something like "Yeah I enjoy my switch, but do you know what I like more? raid shadow legends!" These are one-time payments made prior to the video's release, and are not paid per view. The view count on the video and whether or not people are actually watching the sponsored section is irrelevant.
3. Patreon and other patreon-like services. These are entirely unrelated to viewcount or ads, and are just people paying monthly on some other site (typically patreon or locals) to help fund the channel.
For music, I'm not sure at all how the youtube music platform works. But afaik youtube music is just youtube videos in a different format, so you'd be going with method #1 with the pre-roll ads.

Typically youtube's monetization model requires that you actually set things up, and in order to do so you need to meet particular criteria (particular subscriber counts, view counts, etc). I know musicians work with music labels, so that may work differently depending on what's going on for you. But if you're specifically managing a youtube channel where you upload videos, then #1 applies and just check the monetization section. I don't think it's "by default".

The custom-made "sponsors" sections that are baked into the video are not paid per view. You can freely skip them without harming the content creator. iirc they get paid per video upload, not per view. it's only the "live" separate ads that appear prior to the video, mid-roll, etc. that they get paid per view (and would be missing if you block them).

I saw the title and was about to start calling bullshit but then I actually read it and it's honestly the most adorable and wholesome thing. Her patch is greatly needed, and is critically important. I can't believe that such a major bug was missed by the dev team.
