Thought from Tim Samuel on growing a YouTube audience:

You don’t really know what video is going to hit and what won’t. If lottery tickets were free, how many of them would you get? Each piece of content you release is another free lotto ticket. The more content you put out the more your luck increases of blowing up as an influencer. That’s why consistency is key.

The reason you experience heat and sweating when you eat super spicy food is because your body is reacting to a chemical in the food, an acidic type that spikes your body into action and heats up that zone as a defense mechanism. This makes me wonder if pain tolerance can be measured by asking someone what their taste in food is.
