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.
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?
Sounds like the company's juicing the account growth metric. Just shippin' that org chart...
When I load the home page, I quickly understand that it's a guide collection. But perhaps if I were in your family's shoes, I might wonder why any of this matters. Why publish a site like this? Maybe the answer could become an expanded top section (five sentences?) with a hyperlink to a secondary page that gets into detail. Refer to (1) for some presentation ideas.
Have you asked friends and family what frustrates them the most in their interaction with software and hardware? There are hundreds of potential tutorials you could include, but priority matters. I think you're on the right track putting adblocking ahead of device rooting.
The body font is an effort to read. Refer again to (1) to see what a difference a clear typeface can make. You've also got a legend to denote each guide's platform relevance, which is good. Average Joe is probably also wondering what is achievable in an hour, versus what would take a weekend and some shopping.
Noice, I will look forward to it

I'm looking forward to the accounting industry's invention of a whole new framework to explain away spiraling carbon footprints.
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.

If the mod team on this instance is going to be that prescriptive around how religion is mentioned, then they're better off just blanket-banning any mention of it altogether, like on Whirlpool.
If you're a , and in the natural course of discussion people start criticizing ideas that inform 's beliefs and ethics, that's not a personal attack. It's not 'bigotry' on the basis that you disagree. It's not 'trolling' purely because it made you upset.
I'm going to separately post the famous Charlie Hebdo cover in this thread, the one published after Muslim extremists murdered their people over cartoons. If this instance is so straitjacketed by Australia's ridiculous lawmaking in this area that it cannot tolerate such a post, then it's not a forum for adults.
First of all, Monos is a film set in the jungle, so you know it's already good (see Raiders, Jurassic Park, Sorcerer, Predator, Apocalypto, etc.). Secondly, Landes has an eye for scene composition and potent metaphor. Thirdly, it gets awfully good performances out of a mostly amateur cast.
You make good points, but I still think what I envision would be able to attract enough people interested in specific hobbies, without achieving anywhere near Youtube's scale. I'm thinking of a scenario where the video platform is more an extension of a web community, such an an old-school forum, rather than a straight video host where the primary aim is to gain any engagement whatsoever, and where (let's face it) all engagement is generally fungible. It'd be something member-funded and run, like good torrent trackers, and the content is an interest 'ecosystem' - so not only fishing content, but fishing gear coverage, and camping and hiking stuff, and meat prep and storage, and boating, etc.
This couldn't be any worse for either creator or viewer than what YT subjects them to. There would be no having to optimize for an opaque algorithm. The pressure to self-censor would be greatly relieved. Monetization scope and content guidelines would be accountably managed - ie. by the community itself. Creators would still have their Patreon/Liberapay/etc income streams. The platform can place the odd banner ad too, like 4chan.
I wonder how much convenience and (perceived) income security is a passionate creator prepared to sacrifice in order to start exercising power over Youtube by uploading elsewhere? We all know creators hate the place...
