I’ve got my YouTube channel set to automatically quarantine comments with links in them. The bot spam can be horrendous otherwise. If this was my channel I would never have known you’d commented.

Oh damn, ok that makes sense. I never comment on YouTube and I don't know what the guidelines are now. But what bothers me, is that I don't receive any feedback of this when I posted this comment. You're left in a fully blank space there and asking yourself 'where the f*ck is my comment'?

As much as I’d like to say this is a conspiracy, Google gives zero F’s about GitHub. And I don't think Prime moderators would manually exclude this comment either. YouTube is allergic to all links (and most content) nowadays. Their UI even pretends it accepted your comment when you post it, so you never know. I don’t comment on YouTube anymore unless I really have no choice.

I use YouTube only as a music sharing hosting for 6 years xD

I havr to admit that I watch a lot of YouTube still. I try to support folks on Peertube and other alternatives when I can but YouTube is likely most of the traffic in this household. I miss Google Music (it was a brilliant service :))!

I see. For me YouTube started to degenerate in 2016. From tons of low creative videos with primitive plots which saturated any grassroots content by heavy corporate promotion. Since this I only read books and take naps :D

I envy you. You're treating your brain much better than I'm treating my own 😂 I mean, there is still good content on YouTube, but yeahp, it is the exception, not the rule.

> I envy you. You're treating your brain much better than I'm treating my own 😂 For the most of life, not so good. Probably people start to treat it better when there aren't easy way to compensate energy deficit.

Also ASD prompts to compensate certain cognitive functions with "software".

> I mean, there is still good content on YouTube, but yeahp, it is the exception, not the rule. If you search for it thoroughly. I'm too lazy for it. Probably just over-watched videos in my teens xD

Fair enough again. I feel the "Software People" exhaustion even at a relatively "young" age. It is good to know that there's a path to reading and naps :).

Reading, naps (siestas), walking, playing chess, solving hard LeetCode, advanced Raven's matrices...
