    Understandable I think I am at 300 though I don’t let a number dictate what content I make. I actually have rules I have set for myself when making videos. Rule 1 do not ask for people to like or subscribe let them decide for themselves. Rule 2 If I got bored in the middle of making a video and decide its not worth it I will just not do the video since I only like working on stuff I enjoy regardless of the algorithm. Rule 3 is no video 10 minutes or over which was to prevent mid-roll ads though I found out recently its actually 8 minutes before they do those. So I have 1 or two videos at around 8 to 9 mins before I knew that. I actually was recording a minecraft video that was speed up of me just playing it. But I deleted it before uploading it because I realized it was kind of boring especially since I don’t speak in my videos so it would just be random minecraft gameplay.

    I guess you would need to factor in the building electricity to keep the lights on etc. Though as far as I know bank transactions don’t involve highly powered machines trying to 1 up each other to solve a transaction resulting in more power being used. Tbh idk how much power that would all total to.

    My problem with the power use is has coal/ fossil fuels been used that would have not been used otherwise. If being ASIC resistant leads to less coal being burnt because not everywhere uses renewable energy than it is better than the alternative of having coal hungry ASIC machines burning through resources.

    I guess it depends how mining for that currency works. Traditional POW for example will result in lots of energy that does not need to be used. I know a few years ago POS was used by some to be more energy efficient. It has been a few years since I gave up on crypto due to environmental concerns though I am sure a lot of progress has been made since then.
