Comment I am locked out of Youtube (Score 1) 185

I had a Youtube account since well before it became integrated into Google accounts. So the email on the account is not a Gmail account. And Google locked me out one day. The recovery phone # is one from so long ago that it was likely from before you could port your number to new carriers, or was a landline. The thing is that I *still get email alerts when people comment on my videos. But Google will not use that same email to recover my account. The videos have my voice on them, have my backyard in them. But as this post states, there is absolutely no recourse for me to get that account back. So I am of course moving away from Google. It's such a sad, soulless, void there because you are the product, and no one cares what a widget thinks.

Comment Reddit moderation is insufferable (Score 5, Interesting) 205

I basically stopped going to Reddit because the moderators are insane. I once posted a skyline shot of the city I live in, and in that city's subReddit. It was removed, and I asked why it was removed. They said "self-promotion". I asked what that meant, since I am not anything to promote. Was told that since I hosted the image on my own website that meant I was self-promoting. Even though I am not a professional photographer, sell nothing, and have no ads on my *very* basic site. I was just sharing a picture I took. Just crazy.
