We have started the new year, so I thought it would be a good time to give a little update on both my website and YouTube channel to this little community we’re building.
Thank you!
First and foremost I wanted to thank everyone who read my articles, watches my videos, or subscribes to my channel. In the grand scheme of the internet, I’m a small fish, but my channel has grown a lot this year compared to where it was and I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who’s joined and engaged with my content. I love to read your points of view, and am always learning new things or getting new video inspiration from your comments.
Thank you!
Website Update
For the last couple of months I’ve been redesigning my website and logos, which is now mostly complete (there may be a few small tweaks here and there). Some older pages will likely need to be updated manually to ensure the formatting is legible and tidy, so please bear with me.
Going forward, I aim to publish more regularly on this blog. Video production has always been a priority for me, as a result this website had somewhat stagnated until recently. Soon you’ll find extra content that had to be cut from videos and additional resources including printables, and more.
Stance on Generative AI
This is a point I wanted to make clear going into the new year given the massive rise of generative AI (gen AI) that’s occurred the last few years.
The Yellow Bird does not use generative AI in the production of any of its content, nor will the Yellow Bird be adopting the use of generative AI.
There are concerns with sustainability, ethics, and accuracy that disqualify its use in any of my projects. Images, music, and graphics are either made myself, or sourced from various royalty free and public domain sources (favourites include Wikimedia Commons, Pixabay, Pexels). When necessary and possible AI content is filtered out on these sites, and I do my to vet the photos/videos used to ensure authenticity.
That's all for now!
Thank you so much for joining me on these adventures exploring human and natural history.
Until next time, consider watching my latest vlog or reading one of my articles below.
