dmxratedHere is that video I promised in yesterday's post:

Last weekend, I woke up at around 4 while Mom was still asleep, thought to take care of something up in the apartment (if I recall correctly), and discovered a large box that I don't remember what it contained. Moved it inside the door, and it turned out to be addressed to Eddie next door. Mom called out all the way from her room to ask what it was, and I specified the address labeled.
Later on, we got one of our handcarts to move it to Eddie's door while he wasn't home.
I only remembered last night when Mom showed me a brief thank-you he had written on a form for his landscaping business:
Hi Tracey,
Thank you for finding my package.
UPS makes a lot of mistakes.
Thank you.

At the end of the day, I do not want that bullying-thumbnail representing me at all, just because I used a snippet from its source video and info-carded back. Combining that with what happened to my first Getter Love!! video leaves me to question what might eventually happen to other individual videos in the future. YouTube is a billion-dollar company, but can't be bothered to back content up for such mishaps beyond anyone's control, or to employ more real people instead of AI to deal with anything critical like appeals or feedback, and even guards live chat support for those who can reach some herculean goals without getting unfair strikes in the first place, says nothing about its support on Twitter, and even its service in turn has been hit-and-miss for me even whenever someone does reply.
I have decided last night to start shopping around for alternatives to YouTube. Having continued early this morning, I have decided upon a site called odysee, which supposedly lets you monetize your channel immediately, although I'll need a closer look at the details as I set things up there. Going to take today to upload my two Earthbound mishaps and then my new main video. (I did consider Dailymotion, but not only does that site charge you to upload or even retain anything larger than 4 gigabytes (my main one is 8), but I also gather it to be run by a fascist.)
