Rejected video for Super Bowl post
Feb. 9th, 2025 02:49 pmI decided it was too serious and not tied closely enough to the game, so I posted LegalEagle says Don't call it the 'Super Bowl!' I might post it in the future.
Postponed video for Black Friday post
Nov. 29th, 2024 12:05 pmWhile this is more on topic for the Retail Apocalypse, I decided I liked the subject of Company Man explains 'Walmart - Why They're Hated' for Black Friday/Buy Nothing Day more. Maybe later.
Postponed video for Paris Olympics
Jul. 26th, 2024 12:20 pmI thought it was too early to share this video at Crazy Eddie's Motie News, so I decided to post Vox asks 'Can Paris fix its poop problem before the Olympics?'
I decided on 'Bankrupt - Borders Book Store' by Bright Sun Films, a tale of the Retail Apocalypse for Wayback Wednesday instead. I might use it in a future post.
I decided I liked the videos I used in Be Smart claims 'Fixing Daylight Saving Time Is THIS Easy' more. Maybe next year.
Discarded video for UAW strike post
Sep. 15th, 2023 10:58 amI was going to use this as the final video in UAW goes on strike against Detroit's Big Three automakers, but reached a stopping point before where I was planning on embedding it, so it goes here.
I used a nearly identical video with a more informative preview image in U.S. birthrate resumes its decline for World Population Day 2023.
I thought about including the following video in CNBC explains 'How The U.S. Is Stalling A Recession', but wrote an end to the post before I could use it.
The news developed fast enough that the following video was already out of date when I wrote Two Twitter announcements — Tucker Carlson's Twitter show and Elon Musk hiring a new CEO for Twitter.
Rejected video for SVB collapse post
Mar. 18th, 2023 03:05 pmI decided I didn't need the following video to conclude Wall Street Journal and CNBC explain the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. I had a better ending already.
Rejected video for Nobel Prize Day post
Dec. 10th, 2022 03:04 pmI wanted something more explanatory and less opinionated for Time introduces the 2022 Nobel Prize winners plus the Innovator of the Year for Nobel Prize Day.
Rejected video for car safety post
Nov. 17th, 2022 10:14 pm...but I went in the direction of the possibility that the hurricane season will stop the slide in gas prices instead of talking about demand destruction in Average gas price falls below $4.00, a driving update.
I decided against including the following video in CNBC explains 'Why Recessions May Be Inevitable' at the last minute, when I realized I didn't need it.
