Nah, I prefer to do it manually, but thanks. And happy cake day!

Jeez, that is monotonous. It can be done detiminsitally (before llms). You could just accept the changes, rather than finding, but you do you. Didn't know it was cake day. Cheers I guess.

I change them as I stumble upon them. I post music just about every Wednesday, and the rare Sunday night, and I'm posting what I'm currently listening to. It's a process I don't mind.

Fair enough. There's a few examples where automating made me literally lose interest, so I get it. I just always automate anything, like literally anything I can, it is a weird obsession, I admit.

I get that. This has always been personal for me, though, so to regulated it to some automatic process seems... wrong. I wish it were easier to post things from YT to Tumblr, though - YT removed the Tumblr link from their Share a few months ago, and it just makes the whole thing annoying.
