    You’re not going insane… probably. I edited the post to use asterisks which I assumed must be the more commonly used italic markdown. It might also be that the ™ is right after the markdown character which I know can cause some parsers to choke. YouTube’s comment system is a notable nuisance for this.

      YouTube cant recognize markdown for shit.

      Do underscores work there? Single asterisks bold characters, instead of the traditional double asterisk.

      Edit: it does work. Interesting.
