Sometimes I just want to quit.

Sometimes, I want to format all my drives, unplug my internet, and just give up..

I realize, that is a horrible thing to say..   That you should always be able to find a way to pull yourself up and do the things you want to do..

But there are times when I just can't.  I blame it on getting older..  Or being sick.  Or today I'm blaming it on the heat...

 There's just no excuse for how bad things have gotten.  Or any reason why things always go wrong or don't work out..

When I found MINDS...  I was overjoyed.  I thought I had finally found a venue where I could upload videos to share with my friends as well as make new friends..

It was working for awhile, and then they changed the rules about how long a video could run or how large it could be..( No more than 30 minutes, and no bigger than 1Gb.)

The worst part, is that they didn't TELL anyone the upload rules had changed..  I spent weeks trying different formats, re-coding videos from one format to another, different frame rates and frame sizes...  NOTHING was going through..

It was only when I posted in the Help and Support group that I got the answer.  And not an answer that I wanted to hear..

The ONLY good part, is that @John says the restrictions are temporary.  And I truely hope he's telling the truth..

That hasn't stopped me from looking for other venues though..I signed up for VidMax when they were new, and thought that was nirvana...  Any video, any length, any size...  And then they took the upload button away..

According to the owner, it's because "advertisers don't like when users control the content.".  Which, is the stupidest thing I've ever heard...    All I could do is stare blankly at the screen for 4 minutes saying, "Really?   That's what you're going to go with?".

YouTube has little control over what users upload, and NONE of their advertisers seem concerned or scared..

Anyway..  That's my piece for today.
