All of a sudden I can no longer comment. "for terms of service."
.
That's super odd considering I wasn't able to upload anything for god knows how long. It's not literally possible for me to have suddenly done something else wrong (not that I ever did anything wrong).
.
PH was happy to look at my videos and feature them. Now they're going out of their way to sabotage me. Because why exactly? Because they don't believe in fair use.

When you send friend requests, you have the option of adding a message. When you get friend request alerts, you have the option of accepting them from the alert popup, without actually going to the page that displays them.
.
Problem with this, if you accept them via popup, is that the popup/alert does not display the optional message. I'm not sure how long ago it was that I figured this out, but I've always checked the page so that I can see the messages anyone chooses to write.

I've gotten the vast majority of my compliments this way, I think. But I haven't really had the place to say thank you to you all. I just want you to know that I didn't miss your messages, and I don't forget them. Times like this when the system seems to be against me, it makes all the difference in my motivation to keep trying.
.
I may have to migrate away from porn hub since it just won't show you what I try to upload anymore. And for all I know there may come a day when I have to hide/change my identity to get people off my back. But I'll keep trying and hope you'll bear it all with me.

I took some time to listen to various YouTubers comments on Fair Use, and what struggles they're up against. Nostalgia Critic mentioned something particularly interesting that I didn't know: the flag for a copyright dispute (in the youtube system) is set by the copyright holder.
i.e./e.g. One studio could flag submissions that use 30 seconds of one movie, but another movie (same studio) could flag them for 3.
Now, the systems aren't the exact same between YT and PH, I'm suspecting. However, it isn't inconceivable that some copy/modelling occurs.
But this only reiterates the discouragement I face. Every submission is basically a gamble, since there's no way to obtain information about the terms the copyright holder is arbitrarily and privately setting. So why even bother gambling?
Thank god I never tried to monetize. That'd only make me a bigger target.
