Still alive - CommentResponder

I check comments on Youtube. In fact, I respond very actively there. 
This comes as a huge surprise to many people, who are amazed that the creator of a 2010 video that just popped into their feed is still around discussing it.

It's really nothing special at my end. I use the Youtube Studio app for creators, and I get a feed of every comment that comes in on every video, and next to each one is a "reply" button. That's all there is to it. 

I quit using Twitter, because it's fucking shit, and I don't have any social media apps on my phone. And when the channel booms, as it tends to do about once a year for no good reason, I read a lot of comments. It's enjoyable. It's not a sign of incredible commitment or anything like that. It's just something to do on my phone when I'm on the train or something. I enjoy the engagement and I like trying out different lines of persuasion with opponents.

Updates?
Well - did you notice that this year I've been making Shorts? Yeah, not many people did (relative to my subscriber count). But it has inspired me to think that I might take that idea into a main-channel project next year. I'll have time through the winter to put some work into making a series.

That's about all. Comment on a video, I'll see it.
