  • 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 :)
















  • 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.
