dmxratedWell, someone did comment on my video, and I replied to him.
Someone from Buy Me a Coffee got back to me right after I finished yesterday's entry, but only to suggest I clear my cache and try a different browser. I had already replicated the issue on Bing when I reported to Webcompat, and the instructed cleanout accomplished nothing either. Still waiting to hear back.
Also waiting to hear back from TeamYouTube on Twitter about the traffic I discovered having gotten from my previous video three months ago (the Earthbound glitch). I discovered yesterday that it had gotten 1,280 views, but for whatever reason, I only have four hours from the past 12 months that are eligible towards monetization. Not that that's gonna matter when I only have a total of eight subscribers since 2019, only three since June (the other five were from between my now private 2018 playthrough of Earthbound and my first two Getter Love!! website videos (both late in '23)), but if I do end up getting a lot more subscribers down the road, I would like my actual view time to count as well towards funding Starbound assets, funding ROMhacks more competitively, and maybe even putting Walmart behind me. I actually googled why there's such a huge discrepancy, and all I could find is that my videos need to be public, long-form, non-ad content, all of which are already true for that one clip as well as the three Getter Love!! clips.
To begin with, I had also brought up an issue regarding some kind of policy training course that's supposed to be available if you get a policy violation warning, in my case for failing to tag a now private video for mature content, after having asked a handful of times to date on Reddit and heard nothing there. From what I gather, it is supposed to be a full 90 days after you take the course that you are at less risk of a strike to your channel. On YouTube itself, I got to appeal the decision, but did not actually get to type up an actual message. So, as per the options specified here, I went to Twitter for help, providing a screenshot of the training course missing where several different sources say it should be, but the person who got back to me asked instead to review the video. They told me the mature filter still stands, and have not replied yet to the real issue that I went on to re-specify.
Guess I'm gonna have to see if I ever do join the YouTube Partner Program before I can resolve that once and for all, since only YPP members have access to chat support on YouTube itself.

Mom came home from work early yesterday to start packing up for a trip she is now on.
She and I ate lunch out at Cafe Gia, where I got a pepperoni pinwheel, a chicken Ceaser breadbowl salad, and some tartufo. She pointed out as we left, that the food there is much more satisfactory and less expensive than at Friendly's.
Also managed to watch two episodes of Mahoromatic, for breaks from gathering her stuff, after finally coming back to that the previous night. There are two episodes still remaining for when she comes back.
