My second youtube video was taken down on Sunday as “spammy”. It was unlisted, and I sent the link to just one person, so it obviously was the doings of youtube AI.

So I appealed again, but this time I took effort to spell my arguments. And fit them under 200 character limit of the appeal field! This is what I wrote:

(This is 198 characters). (Yes, I made a typo in “material”.)

And five minutes later I got this email:

(my first strike is still in place, so I cannot livestream until September.)

So, folks, appeal! And try to fit some arguments in 200 characters!

Definitely like hearing the most. Seeing and feeling are pretty cool in their own way, but they aren't the same as listening. Feeling and hearing are both good ways to fall asleep though. And seeing can be pretty mesmerizing, bit like watching a campfire.

Which do you prefer and why? What do you enjoy about each way of experiencing your/someone's heart beating?

I'll add my answer when I think about it some more.

A more permanent and clean fix has been found, this should also fix up those wacky stream lengths from YouTube streams that are way longer than they should be.

Apparently YouTube broadcasts can be created before they go live, and YouTube only gives you the "creation" time by default. YouTube also sometimes hands you broadcasts that just don't exist (???). The YouTube broadcast code now verifies that all streams exists and asks for the real start time of the stream at the same time.

Managed to knock out two birds with one stone there, I feel pretty good rn.
