Wow, I'm honoured you said that! Thank you so much.
And yes, I'm getting a sense of the size of the community now. Excellent! And I believe if things continue to be stable here, it will only grow and grow.
I feel glad to have somewhere to be heard again, and to be allowed to have an opinion again. My dislikes and likes on YouTube stopped working 2 or 3 years back. I had to take Google+ in order to be able to comment on my own videos, which I did, but my comments rarely show up. You can't rate comment there anymore, either. It's a useless shell of what it was 10 years ago. All I can do at this point is upload videos. Even THAT has been neutered, as I get only a few hundred views per video, when I used to get thousands per video back when I was new on YT.
So about FRICKIN time! : D
Feels amazing!
