Help From Nidhi

I contacted youtube's tech support again today and not only was it not helpful, but they actually repeated what I said! The solution on the FAQ to my problem was to reinstall Windows, and I did (just kidding, I needed to clear my cache and cookies). So I did that and now I need to revisit all my frequented sites to resave my passwords and cache template images, and it didn't even fix my problem! So I sent youtube another support request in the hopes that there would be a better solution.

But at least I'm confident I talked to a real person. Last time they simply directed me to the FAQ and that was that. Today I got a more human response from a guy (or lady maybe) named Nadhi. He basically said that it could have been caused by two things:

1. The owner of the video deleting or declining my comments.

I'm sure this isn't the problem because I didn't say anything offensive or even disagree with anyone! Why would they delete my comment, but not all the ones that say "OMFG!!!Go die Fag!!!!!!" (Yes, I watch a lot of gay youtubers)

2. "Our engineers looked into these issues and determined that our spam filter
was somewhat overactive in some instances."

What the fuck!? "Don't read this or you'll have bad sex for 20 years," "Repost this or Mary Anne's ghost will come rape you tonight," and "Come buy my Viagra bitches!" all get through, but "Don't give up! You can do it!" gets flagged as spam!?!?!? I hope someone gets fired over that!

So basically, I still don't know why I can't comment on videos, but I guess I can live with it. I was going to vlog about it, but I haven't really felt like it recently.

I haven't really felt like doing much of anything recently and I don't know why. I've been kind of depressed and people always assume it's for some childish reason (such as losing at Scrabble), and I can't really debate it because I don't actually know why I'm not happy right now. But I don't really want to get into that now.

And sorry if I offended anyone with my April Fool's joke. I really thought it would be a lot funnier. Only a few people seemed to care and everyone else just ignored it, which kind of bummed me out. But the phone call I received the next day totally made up for it.

Also (I've been meaning to ask for a while), do you guys think I should post photos and other media more frequently?
