Please don't use HN for ideological flamewar. It's off topic here.
I doubt you would feel that way if I responded to someone condoning fascism.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you're itching to do just that

You could upload one yourself and you would get a notice if it gets monetized by the creator.

We know because when Disney finds their content on Youtube they have it removed, they don't compromise their premium channels for the pittance in ad revenue they would get from pirate garbage.
The uploaders get through the filters with really strange editing tricks, cropping the screen and editing random bits together. It's not a level of quality that Disney would like to have associated with their brand in even the most unofficial way.

#223You know what's interesting? A Decentralised media platform used to be huge and actually is still huge: Torrents. There's a huge community that consumes media that's not hosted anywhere particular and there are apps like Popcorn Time that offer viewing experience almost as good as Netflix. The problem, of course, is that up until now there was no way to reward the creators and almost all the media consumed on Torrent…
Can you give a bit more detail on the term "Averagisation", couldn't find much about it from a quick google. What you describe sounds more like polarization.
Just the opposite. The content becomes more bland and inoffensive over time, as advertisers don't want to take the risk of offending even a very small subset of viewers.

Youtube automatically identifies almost all copyrighted music when videos are uploaded and copyright owners can decide who will be the one to monetize it. Almost all of the major players have the monetization assigned to themselves.
How do you know that? There are tons of whole albums which are definitively not "monetized" by their makers. E.g. old stuff where the band does not exists anymore or all the low selling genres where nobody cares. It is not a bad thing since i discovered a lot of cool stuff like that.
There's some long tail stuff that isn't, but the large majority is.
A breakdown of how the system works (they're trying to sell music for you to use, but it's still a good writeup):

If I was, I would have worded my initial, base level, comment differently. Note that I'm not the one bringing up right or left and I'm specifically complaining about websites that have a far right user base.
So, I think you should question if you're projecting here.

That's only because the left+ extremists are tolerated, if not condoned, on the SV run platforms.
Probably because left+ extremists don't inherently have dehumanization and genocide as part of their political and moral beliefs. You can disagree with economic allocation theories, but it's really not appropriate to compare the two.
Yes, the only thing they have going for them is that the initial factor they use for putting someone against the wall is economic and not race based. They still put innocent people against the wall. How is this not clear to you?

Yeah, because 100 million murdered by communists in the 20th century wasn't enough, amirite?
How did you jump from talking about left politics on the internet to literally murdering 100 million people?
Because that's what has happened at the extreme left (Stalin, Mao). If someone ignores the evils of fascism, would you not inform them?

I'll be the guy this time: copyright violation is a different thing from stealing. I'm surprised after so long this meme is still going strong.
By violating the copyright of the content you are stealing the creators money. I'm surprised the meme that copyright violation is "different" than stealing is still a meme. Yes, copyright violation is not "stealing", but the majority of the time the end result is "stealing" money from the content creators.
Who is stealing which money when I watch a video of a song on Youtube? Do you really think I would have bought all those songs if they were not available on Youtube?

That they do, not wrong there.
