what to point me to the section that says anything about personal use vs public use.

By definition commentaries are public. if you made a commentary that only you could hear it would be a commentary, it would be talking to yourself.

you said



being 100% was your justification for arguing it was not fair use, time shifting proves that not a valid justification

now your going back to a justification that doesn't exist in the list (like your bullshit number of seconds).
This is very simple.

Timeshifting allows you to record a show you paid for to watch whenever you want. It doesn't give you the right to distribute/publish it.

Fair use allows you to use part of someone else's content in specific ways and allows you to publish/distribute it. One of those ways is if you are making commentary on said content. It doesn't, however, give you express permission to use 100% of the content for this purpose. You have to take it on a case by case basis. If the whole of the content you are commenting on is a 4 second long video clip then using 100% of the content and posting a short 1 sentence long piece of commentary could easily be seen as reasonable. However, it would be very hard to say that posting a full 60 minute video and saying, "this is my favorite movie" as your commentary is legit fair use.
