For whatever reason this file is the only file so far to give me this error despite me defining a embed the exact same way in other files? The error came out of nowhere too because I don't really touch this file.

That's a really basic JavaScript error, did you forget to put const before blacklistLog?

Nitr0h Da Bear•12mo ago

I mean I followed a djs tutorial and they didnt put const before it and it worked. 🤷🏿‍♂️ Just confused on why all of a sudden it doesnt for this file

You need to use const or let before defining a variable the first time. After that, you can use variable = to re-assign its value (if you defined it with let)
