I thought the fact that a webcomic I've enjoyed for years is no longer working and may be unfixable was scary.

I thought I told you that I DO wear a mask whenever I am required to or am told to. Why are you acting like I don't?… - 2 Sep 2020, 17:54Looking back at the Spanish Flu pandemic, it obviously wasn't like that forever. I don't know if people had problems with being able to adjust.
They probably won't be mandatory forever, but you… - 2 Sep 2020, 13:42well before the pandemic, youre supposed to wash your hands before you eat, and after youve been to the toilet. Or if youve got something on your hands. Thats all.
With the pandemic, its an add on… - 2 Sep 2020, 07:07Even before this pandemic I've tried to wash my hands whenever I needed to - but I've never been sure if I'm doing so well enough or often enough. :(

As I said to arcadia30 above, I'm tired of hearing "new normal" because it implies that it will be like this forever and/or that I'm a bad person for being unable to…

And the last time a YouTube channel I was interested in said that they were "in trouble" and might have to go on hiatus, they still haven't come back from said hiatus. *actually checks* Wait, apparently they did come back finally? Huh. Well, I'm still scared though.
Also, I found this:

And the fact that the other one did should reassure you that you have nothing to worry about.
Because I may have something to be upset over.

Well, it did come back, but it took a LONG time for it to come back, so it probably only came back either because they had a LOT of donations from fans or something (which was probably difficult if it took so long), or because maybe YouTube changed their algorithms after the fact (which I doubt). So how do I know that this new thing WON'T lead to YouTube channels I watch going on hiatus or going down??? And what of DeviantArt???
Because it most likely won't. And you can't be upset over something that is a future hypothetical situation.
Do whatever you want on DeviantArt, it's not going anywhere.
I feel like now I have to go to DeviantArt (since apparently it also affects the rest of the Internet) and save EVERYTHING on there that I've wanted to save, TODAY, just in case this leads to those being taken down!
When exactly does this COPPA thing go into effect? If I knew that, I'd know when to stop worrying (or start worrying more)...
"But YouTubers seem confused about what these things mean in practice and why Google has implemented them. As a result, many are unintentionally spreading misinformation about children’s privacy law. Some claim that YouTube will have to ban certain types of content, such as videos about the popular game Roblox. Others, from food bloggers to a capella artists, worry that YouTube will have to disable all personalized advertising on a video just because a child may watch it. One commenter even said that she will have to start “swearing like a sailor” and incorporate more “adult” conversations into her videos in order to avoid being covered by COPPA. Searching for “end of our YouTube channel” on the site reveals a number of content creators informing their loyal viewers that COPPA and the settlement may be the end of YouTube as they know it.
That’s not what COPPA does. Under this law, companies with content directed to children under 13 must inform parents what information they collect from kids and obtain parental permission before they collect it. So the content creators complaining that the law prohibits all personalized advertising are simply misinformed—and spreading that misinformation."
2) I hope you're right about what COPPA will do.
3) Even if you're right about what COPPA itself will do, the fact that so many people on YouTube are panicking about it and think it might be the end of their channel means that a large number of them (likely including some that I like) are probably going to delete their channels because they think it's a big deal and they want to boycott YouTube/Google/COPPA. And since this applies to the whole Internet and not just YouTube, a lot of people will probably do the same on DeviantArt too.
4) I still don't know if it's in effect yet or not.
No, they won't. They will keep their channel and hope that nothing happens to affect it. Otherwise they are losing revenue for no reason. So they will panic, make videos to cause other people to panic, but keep the channel. The point is-this is absolutely nothing to worry about. What random people say on Youtube does not make something a fact.
Quit obsessing. Go watch a movie. You've spent too much time on the internet this week.
Oh, I know COPPA has been around for a long time. I knew about it because that's why I had to have parental permission to use half of the features on Neopets until I turned 13.
What I was concerned about is I thought that COPPA might be changing, possibly in a way that affects some of the stuff I enjoy. When I said "COPPA" earlier I really meant just the new COPPA-related stuff.
