Now I'm also not complaining that i was not taken ... just would appreciate a little bit more communication!
And I'm angry that 19 Seconds is enough to be judged
Sure I could just keep my anger to myself! But I think a lot of people will feel similar! So there can be a lesson learned
I'm not being critical of your project - but I watched the video for a bit longer than 19 seconds. By the time I got to 3 minutes (when I stopped), I knew enough to make this comment:
During the first 3 minutes you make repeated references to safety, separation and other risks in working on such a hack. All these are valid concerns and including them in your presentation is essential - so you have been diligent in that respect.
However, all those concerns would be the first to come to mind to anyone who has half an idea of what is involved - and such safety issues could well be enough for Dave to not want to endorse it. I know I would prefer to look for other material if I was in Dave's shoes.
Would you have felt better if the video had been viewed for 3 minutes? I can tell you now - that there was
nothing in that 3 minutes that Dave could not have guessed from the first 19 seconds (if that was, indeed, all he looked at).
As for Dave not communicating with you, I can understand you being a bit sensitive about that - but there are times when you have to put on you "big boy pants" and deal with it. With his channel, this forum and other interests, I would expect Dave could spend a lifetime just responding to every communication - so I'd give him some leeway on that.
