Honestly, cringe was an oversimplification in the first place on my behalf. My take is that he’s realized that he can either keep doing what he did for over a decade (put out cringe content, which would be even more cringe as he reaches 40 soon), or he can actually do something useful with the reach he has, and be someone his son can actually be proud of. And he went with the latter, over the easy money of the former.
Well he’s 36 now. Think he’s realized that it’d be cringe to behave like a teenager for much longer and his original fans are all adults now anyway, so he’s decided to aim his new videos at them rather than getting new teenage fans. Put it this way, he had 100 million subscribers 7 years ago, he has 110 million now. One has to assume his average subscriber age has risen a lot in recent years.
Honestly great that this is how it’s gone. I find him way more relatable now than when his fame was at peak.
Odysee is a bit of a nazi platform and I think most people want to host their own peertube instance but putting your videos on someone else’s instance results in them going down when the instance does
Tho since Pewds is getting more and more interested in tech, I think hosting a Peertube instance would actually be fitting for him.
You may want to look at the supported devices on this project. It’s an app to get data to/from wearables.
Two of the supported devices are bangle.js and bangle.js 2. These are open source smart watches with GNSS and HR, which have different apps available already that I believe can record data without your phone connected, and then sync later, either to your phone or computer (not sure on that one). And you can develop your own apps too of course.
I don’t really know much more than that. I do want to get back into exercising regularly, and would like to track my progress, so I may get one myself at some point.
Best I can do is Strava with a one-time purchase instead of a subscription
Okay if all you want is the gps tracking and simple metrics like pace, I could probably knock that out in an afternoon and put it up for free. But IIRC, Strava does a lot more than that. I haven’t used it in ages though so not too sure.
It’s a time-honored tradition.
