I think about a world to come where the books were found by the golden ones, written in pain, written in awe by a puzzled man who questioned, "What are we here for?" All the strangers came today and it looks as though they're here to stay.

Those bastards blocked Arnold again. I wonder if they have a sophisticated bot that crawls youtube for copyrighted content, or if they have a team of people who find it? Maybe a combination of both? Either way, it's a terrible waste of resources on their part.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, I finally saw that "Subscribe by email" link in the lower right-hand corner below the comment box. Finally, no more missing out on post replies to my replies! I also did a little catching up on previous responses too. Never again!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I think it is a sophisticated bot, because it is most often blocked while it is being uploaded and processed. If it were people, I would imagine it would be uploaded and viewable for quite some time before taken down.
ReplyDeleteI just fixed it so that the picture sends you to a download link. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGood point. It has to be a bot. It might be lazy and just look for tags first. Then once it has a promising hit, it uses visual recognition or something. It's intriguing, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fix! I'll check it out once I'm home.
I am not exactly covert about my tags either. I boldly assert that I am posting a clip from Kindergarten Cop. Because the people deserve to know.
ReplyDeleteThe one video I ever uploaded to youtube was fine until i added tags to it. Then it got deleted. Then I found a similar clip from the show with similar tags, and it was fine.
