Right, because the answer is always more training videos. Next they'll have us doing trust falls with the sonar unit. Sure, tech fails big and loud, but at least when a person messes up it's a quiet, private shame. Sometimes it feels like we're just choosing between a flashy error and a boring one. Let's train the machines to laugh at us when we miss the obvious thing, then maybe we'll be even.

How did you finally get them to listen? I had a video about fixing my bike get flagged last year too, the auto system said it showed dangerous acts. I mean, it was just me tightening a chain. I kept re filing those appeal forms every week and wrote a really short, clear note that just said what was actually in the video. Took forever, but putting it in the simplest terms possible is what did it for me in the end. Those bots really don't get nuance at all.

Totally see your point about building confidence first. Reminds me of teaching my niece to ride a bike with training wheels. She got the balance and steering down without freaking out about falling. Then taking the extra wheels off wasn't such a huge leap. If we started with just the two wheeler she'd have given up in five minutes. Same idea with the blocks before typed code, you learn the moves before you worry about the small stuff.

People forget the hidden costs in that line of work. Gas for the mower, truck maintenance, and replacing broken equipment eats into profits fast. It's not just pocketing cash from each yard. A single major repair could wipe out a week's income, making that rent money fragile. The physical wear on your body is another slow tax that doesn't show up in the books.

That graffiti light sounds perfect, unlike my pics that always turn out a blurry mess.
