AI is unaccountable in any real sense of the word.

Doesn’t stop companies from trying to deflect accountability onto AI. Citations Needed recently did an episode all about this: https://citationsneeded.medium.com/episode-217-a-i-mysticism-as-responsibility-evasion-pr-tactic-7bd7f56eeaaa

That is a video editor much like Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro, so would not be a replacement for AE. After Effects is essentially Photoshop but with motion and animation. It’s mostly for VFX and Motion Graphics. Not video editing or audio.

I think it’s likely:

1. someone posted something that later gets banned
2. in between the posting and the banning, you upvoted it
3. at time of banning/removal or after, they can check the logs of users who upvoted it while it was “live”

Also on reddit, removed posts and comments by subreddit mods can still be viewed if you have a direct link to it, or if you find it from a user’s profile instead of from the subreddit it was posted in. From there you may be able to vote on it still, although it’s pointless in most instances. However, Admin removed stuff likely cannot be found in the same way. Also a user deleting their own post or comment cannot be viewed in the same way either.

DISCUSTING!

As a Metroidvania fan, I was so excited when the trailer for the first one came out. I’ve really enjoyed playing both of these games. And then Hollow Knight as well. We have so many great indie Metroidvania titles these days.

This is a good recommendation.
When I was out of college for a while, I ended up meeting like-minded friends at a monthly retro-gaming tournament/event that was held at a local book/game store. We actually ended up working on some creative projects together as we all had schooling/degrees/experience in video production, writing, and comedy. That opened up the doors to meeting a much larger group of people in the local acting and stand-up comedy scene, as well as other creative fields. So now I have a nice group of friends that I’ve made as an adult, in a variety of friend circles all b/c I decided to check out some regular events at hobby shops.
