I wonder why if someone doesn’t choose an incentive they don’t automatically put it towards the closest upcoming incentive goal (that isn’t a poll vote). It’d be assuming intent for an otherwise intent-less donation, but it doesn’t feel like it would be in a bad way.

FWIW more than 80% of donations (both in terms of raw count, and summed amount) end up getting put towards an incentive, so making this process automatic honestly wouldn't make that much of a difference. There was a lot of stuff open and people were donating towards other things at the same time for whatever reason. This does get factored in to the target amounts, but it's still black magic a good portion of the time.

Also I'm definitely down for that goon dinner on Wednesday. I'll have to set a reminder so I don't forget. The last few days have been hella busy, as you might imagine.

Speaking of, any idea why the GDQ youtube stopped uploading VODs?

Short answer: The person responsible for handling the final steps of our upload process was at the event and is currently very worn out.

While I do have a significant hand in the flow, it's been many years since I've been the one who actually cleans things up and publishes them.

Edit: Also we've changed how we handle the raw footage, which makes things both easier and harder, so it'll affect the upload cadence while we fiddle with things.
