Potato?
There is always one question that has to be totally random.

All these "easy" puzzles are frustrating me. I need to go make another puzzle to get my revenge...

For the video, you'll want to pay attention to what you see rather than what it's actually about.

I didn't see anything in the video that could be used as an answer (I still tried several things though but none worked).
Considering the giveaway is over, can you give out the solution? I'm really curious.

I honestly wasn't expecting people to have that much trouble with Q2, as it's a pretty popular answer. It's something I probably would have guessed within my first 10 or so tries, given that the actual question gave out so little information. The question mark really just functioned as a placeholder. I had intended for the puzzle to take about 5 minutes to solve, but I guess I underestimated the effect of putting no general direction in the question itself (I didn't want to make it too obvious).
The changes to the question was practically a dead giveaway, and I was expecting a lot of entries after changing it. However, most people had probably already given up, and the site being down might have interfered with people re-finding my puzzle / joining the giveaway.
The important part of the video was the shirt the main guy was wearing (Pop Culture Reference). I probably should have made it far more obvious what part of the video was important by putting better text to accompany the video, but changing the question made the answer so easy to find anyways that it didn't even really matter. It could have been easily found by googling the second version of the question.
The answer to Q2 is 42; the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Wtf 42? I don't know how it might be a popular answer, because I never heard of it. I'm glad I gave up on this puzzle because I would never get that question right.

So the video wasn't a hint at all, it was a tool to give a hint (pop culture reference).
I've heard about 42 and what it means in TBBT and maybe seen it mentioned once or twice on the internet and that's it. I don't think it's that popular.
I should have tried googling the second question after it got changed but I'm not sure I would have found the answer either. Tried googling it now and I got bunch of results for quizzes and mathematical forum threads lol.

Mine is giving the Wikipedia page for 42 as the second result and Wolfram Alpha, which when clicked has 42 as the answer, as the fifth result. Typing it in on the search bar also reveals the entire question.

Bots are stealing our potatoes. This can't be allowed to continue any further; the bots must be eliminated.

Bump for solved ... and actually I feel stupid for not solving this earlier.

Well I wouldn't need to feel stupid if it wasn't :)

A lot of people are overthinking it. One of the solvers told me he looked through my profile and tried a lot of things in my profile description. There's nothing there, and there's nothing hidden.

So many great comments I want to say, but I can't give you any hints. Just remember this moment when you either solve it or see the solution...I'm being very funny right now, in my head. :D

Puzzles like this frustrate me. I'm giving up on this one.

I'm not overthinking it and I can't solve it =p
Tried all the simple answers I could think of, because I'm sure it's nothing complicated.

Bump for solved. Well it's quite logical, but takes me 2 days...

So I decided to make an easy one.
