    Coming in kind of late, but will you add creator's name and video duration to the title for rule 2, please? It'll improve searching and browsing for people who visit in the future. (Applies to your other recent posts, too, but I don't want to spam you with comments under each one.)

    Hate to do this since there's nothing wrong with the video, but I'm removing the post for not including the info required for rule 2. You're welcome to post the video again with an updated title.

    Ro's videos are packed with so many fast-paced jokes that you might miss the fact that they're packed with thoughtful takes, too. This video is about some recent internet drama plus the youtube culture that feeds on drama, which Ro criticizes even as she considers herself a part of it.

    This one was just a random gift from the algorithm today. I wasn't familiar with Andrewism, but I liked this one, so I'll check out more. This one's a short and sweet take on how ancient economies actually worked before money.

    Mexie has a lot of excellent environmentalist content and is more willing than most to be unabashedly anti-capitalist about it. Her videos have also introduced me to a lot of great authors over the years.

    Anime apologetics with a focus on masculinity and power fantasies. I'm not a big anime fan myself, but I'm playing through Persona 5 for the first time right now, so it's been on my mind.

    Two things I appreciate about Simon are (1) his deeply engrossing videos about language and linguistics, and (2) his chill vibes, man. You physically can't be mad when you're listening to Simon Roper. The vibes are too chill.

    Just a little post about transparency for your info.

    If you didn't know, you can see a list of all of my mod actions at any time by clicking the Modlog link in the sidebar here: modlog link in the community sidebar

    This image shows my entire history of mod actions in this community as of right now: list of mod actions in /c/VideoEssays including two posts removed for breaking rule 2

    It's mostly me trying to figure out how stickied posts work lol. I did remove two posts so far. Both times it was just because they didn't have the video duration in the title of the post. I did give them more than a day to edit the title to include it before removing the posts. If that ever happens to you, you're welcome to post the video again as long as the new post title follows rule 2.

    If you ever have any questions for me about anything, you can send me a direct message or ask in one of these chat threads (tag me if you do that one, just in case). Either way, I'll do my best to respond quickly.

    Thank you all for being here! I'm really proud of the community we're making :)

    Thanks. If your bot can't follow the rules of a community then it shouldn't post to that community. Pretty obvious bot etiquette.

    lol asking your bot to follow the rules isn't gatekeeping. Thanks for following the rules this time.

    We have quality posts from multiple users every day. We aren't desperate for reposted content lol.

    If you're going to be rude, you'll just get banned for breaking rule 3, but you're certainly welcome to stop posting on your own if you prefer.

    OC?

    Is this a bot that auto-reposts reddit content? If so, it's poor bot etiquette not to communicate that straightforwardly in the profile description of the bot. Also, I would have appreciated a heads up before someone set up a reddit bot to mirror content from r/videoessay in this community.

    Unless this bot is able to accurately title its posts and to make posts at a reasonable pace, it won't be allowed to continue to post here.

    Anyone else feel awful after hyperfocusing?
  • sharpsphere sharpsphere Now 92%

    It feels like the activity is partaking of me rather than the reverse

    Thanks for giving me these words to describe the feeling so well. I don't feel interested and passionate... I feel consumed and dominated.

    Now that I think about it, lots of words that describe focus have etymologies that feel appropriately sinister. Captivated, enthralled, enraptured, fascinated, bewitched, mesmerized, hooked - all related to being controlled against your will.
