turning all of your interests into content is exhausting. iโ€™ve honestly fallen out of love with a lot of things simply because i believed i had to capitalize on my enthusiasm for them with videos etc. itโ€™s cool to enjoy shit and keep it to yourself.

Dear verification plug-in users Due to a server failure, access to advanced tools of the plug-in (InVID_EU WeV3rify_H2020_Project vera.ai) is not working at the moment. This should affect primarily the forensic export and CheckGIF feature. Sorry for the inconvenience. Weโ€™re on the case!
