So, take the ban like an adult. Accept that you fucked up enough for the community, and use that in the future to really think about the subject and decide who you want to be.
I see this patronizing, judgmental language everywhere on the internet, and I'm pretty tired of it. OP is right to be annoyed.
Here's an intelligent question: Why is R*ddit a place where every little infraction, real and perceived, attracts the account death penalty?
Noice, I will look forward to it

Speaking of doubles, are there any episodes with a bizarro-Picard? As in it's legitimately Picard but this one's got a New Jersey accent, a beer gut and he's impolite and chauvinist and generally negligent in command, flouting the PD, etc. Time-travel Picard was cool but I want a polar opposite version.
scale
Who does scale really benefit, though? I don't see how it matters from the audiences' point of view. Say I watch Youtube for fishing videos - all the competitor needs to do to attract and keep me is offer fishing videos. I don't really care that I can't watch music videos on it, or cookery, or make-up tutorials, etc.
The preoccupation we have with scale should be re-examined when it comes to video distribution. A combination of user-friendly banner advertising, modern codecs, and P2P hosting should go an awful long way. If I knew ad placements provided material funding for a video site/community I loved, I'd whitelist the URL.
Video needs fragmentation.
Ad blockers assert your belief in the web browser as user agent, not server agent
I'd like a phase-out of the data broking industry. Just like live sheep export, it's inherently odious and shouldn't be a thing, and is only capable of causing harm. But something tells me governments won't get around to it unless it becomes a lot more politicized.

My ability to stick the boot in on Blahaj-hosted posts is a bit like mods being able to ceaslessly whinge about their voluntary role being thankless/hard to prosecute. It's really really really important :^)
'Anti-religious comment' accurately describes my scenario. Anyone who dislikes the hypothetical critique can simply hit the report button and it will get wiped if Rule 4 is read at face value.
If anyone's interested in the worst behavior the fashion industry has to offer, search for 'rolex authorized dealer' on YT. Then follow that up with 'I can't safely wear my Rolex in public anymore' results from the watchtubers for a laugh.
