No worries, thanks!
Coming in kind of late, but will you add creator's name and video duration to the title for rule 2, please? It'll improve searching and browsing for people who visit in the future. (Applies to your other recent posts, too, but I don't want to spam you with comments under each one.)
Will you add creator's name and video duration to the title for rule 2, please? Thanks!

As a hyperfixator myself, I'm really looking forward to Hank's character in this one.
Hate to do this since there's nothing wrong with the video, but I'm removing the post for not including the info required for rule 2. You're welcome to post the video again with an updated title.

Ro's videos are packed with so many fast-paced jokes that you might miss the fact that they're packed with thoughtful takes, too. This video is about some recent internet drama plus the youtube culture that feeds on drama, which Ro criticizes even as she considers herself a part of it.

Mexie has a lot of excellent environmentalist content and is more willing than most to be unabashedly anti-capitalist about it. Her videos have also introduced me to a lot of great authors over the years.
I don't think it's even in the top 10 longest videos on the current front page of the community.
Does anyone here subscribe to Nebula? I'm always hesitant to sign up for a subscription service. Would you recommend it?
That's it! All were canonically adopted.

Two things I appreciate about Simon are (1) his deeply engrossing videos about language and linguistics, and (2) his chill vibes, man. You physically can't be mad when you're listening to Simon Roper. The vibes are too chill.
Just a little post about transparency for your info.

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 :)
