Florida's HB-3 Law has gone into effect for YouTube.

As of today, any account based in Florida that is under the age of 14 will be moved down to Youtube Kids, stay signed out from regular youtube, and have their channels be invisible to others. Any account between ages 14-15 would be banned as well unless you ask your parent to link your account to their account. Any user above the age of 16 is not impacted.

Any accounts impacted which had a premium subscription before today might now be a waste of money and you should ask for refunds. Any accounts who haven't backed up their data will now be stuck in regular youtube with ads and no control. Those who have backed up their data can now use alternatives like FreeTube.

This post is not to promote or advertise any alternatives for YouTube. Rather, it is meant as a reminder for Florida-based accounts.

What is going on?

So recently when I logged into Youtube it's just giving up on me. Whenever I want to scroll shorts it reads that something went wrong. Once I head back to the home page, the sidebar is just... gone. Is it happening to anyone? If it is, could it be due to a specific region?

A Legendary-worthy level is stuck behind 300 levels on the sent tab.

The demon megacollab Zwoop, which was verified almost a week ago, is now sitting on page 34 of the sent tab. A legendary/mythic-worthy level has fewer sends than 300 other levels.

I have been playing this level and personally have 80% on it, but it missed TWO weekly windows. Those weekly spots were given to Entropie (Honestly better than Zwoop), and Pain Engine (Featured level compared to a Legendary level). No, I'm not affiliated with Azhir, but I did want to point this out.

Rob has said that changing the rating system would cause too much drama. This is just diabolical for me, who has dedicated a bit of my time from daily levels to play it.

Best we can do now is for Zwoop to get the attention it needs. If you see any mod level request livestreams, make sure to fill out an entry for Zwoop. If we can get Zwoop to the front of the line, Rob will rate it sooner.

Hopefully it finally gets rated and (maybe) gets a weekly spot, but we are the only ones that can help make a change.

Don't Use THIS Mod For Now

There is an issue with the mod "Menu Loop Randomizer" by RayDeeUX and ElnexReal. If you have the mod enabled, it crashes right before it reaches the menu screen.

The reason why I think this is happening is because RayDeeUX decided to change its name to Erymanthus pretty much everywhere, which includes GitHub. This means that the repo used for the mod is gone, and it might be causing the Node ID to not work properly, which crashes the game.

I'm not sure if this is only a me issue (I'm using iOS), but all we can do for now is wait for Erymanthus to update the mod with the correct Node ID (or atleast thats what I think we need to wait for).

My Attempt on Redesigning Florida's Flag

Symbolism of each element in the flag:

  1. Ratio: The change to a 3:5 ratio from 2:3 emphasizes the length of the peninsula.
  2. Cross of Burgundy: Represents how the area was originally a Spanish settlement. Also represents their influence in the centuries after St. Augustine was founded
  3. St. George's Cross: Represents the influence of English Culture before and after the U.S. bought the peninsula from Spain in 1819.
  4. Sun: Represents the "Sunshine" State and its beaches.
  5. Colors:
  • White: Purity, Peace, and Equality of all mankind.
  • Orange: Represents the citrus industry (mainly oranges, the national fruit)
  • Yellow: Warmth, Kindness, and Welfare of the region (Eg. the QOL of the retired population)
  • Turquoise: Generally rare color in flags, Used here as a mix of Blue and Green:

* Green: Represents the Flora of the region (Eg. Everglades), and agriculture.

* Blue: Represents the Coastal Areas and its industries (fishing, international trade,              etc.)

I'm Floridian myself, and I felt like the Seal on a Bedsheet slapped on the Alabama flag was getting too boring. I also might have taken CGP Grey's rankings TOO literally. I included a simplified version in fear that it could be "hard" for a child to draw.

With that, I would LOVE to see your thoughts, if you approve or not, and any critiques (if theres any) won't be ignored. ;)

Edit: Because of many critiques and suggestions, I made my 2nd attempt, and it's way better, and this could need changes depending on the reactions. Heres the link:
