"DeFranco’s savvy thumbnailing and titling has helped lift his celebrity-cleavage-filled videos up into the “most viewed” section of YouTube."

Translation: DeFranco got popular by gaming the system with copyrighted photos of girls in swimsuits he pulled off a Google image search without the copyright owner's permission.

Why are you mentioning that as if it's something positive?

I just discovered a fraternal pair of Ze's disciples. Hank and John Green are brothers who are alternating sending each other video blogs via their YouTube channel, Brotherhood 2.0, five days a week, for an entire year. You might have seen Hank's Accio Deathly Hallows that made it to YouTube's front page. Check them out to see modern day familial correspondence.

I figure every word has its place, even the multi-syllabic. And broadening one's vocabulary is good practice for the GREs, no?

Glad you liked the content, which should be first and foremost. An absent indefinite article is a minor gaff, but I'm pretty sure our verb tense is ok and I assure you that my Strunk & White is never out of reach. And I'm pretty sure the well-spoken Ze would agree.

I like the content but what is with these grammar errors? If youze gonna use fancy words, like syntax, try also using grammatical particles like 'to' and 'a' not to mention using correct verb tense like "watch'ed' a few episodes"

Or maybe try to not write so much baloney and stick to the facts. We're netizens, not looser high school professors.

Thanks for listening. Keep up the good content.
