Here’s a list of other superstitious things you should not do during Chinese New Year:

  • Cut your hair
  • Go to work (apparently in China, most worker are sent back home and the factories close)
  • Spend money – how is this even possible
  • Have arguments
  • Move houses
  • Use knives or scissors

I’m not a very superstitious person so most of the things above I’ve ignored except having an argument.

DAILY REFLECTION 

YouTube earnings – based on my current YouTube ad estimates, it appears approximately 2000 views equates to $1 in estimated ad revenue. This means for video clips with 1 million views, the owner of the video could possibly earn about $1k and that’s a lot of views. I can see why YouTubers with millions of subscribers keep on pushing out video content. I wonder if any of my video clips would ever reach hit 1 million views.
