You have to think of YouTube and other platforms as a mechanism for distribution, not a source of truth. If you're a creator it's essential to have your own place on the web were you can host and publish anything without fear that it will be taken down for any reason — even accidentally. As it becomes cheap to automate both creating takedown requests and processing requests, the volume of spam requests is going to sk…

I agree in principle with diversifying your online presence, but as a practical solution it doesn’t solve the problem. It would be like if someone came to you about a termite problem in their house and you told them the solution was to have multiple houses. At best that is a defense mechanism not a solution.

The year is 2030. After the AI bot wars, FaceBook and Google have been crippled. They let AI automation control their content and it was deleted after OpenAI GPT10 discovered vulnerabilities in automated copyright strikes. Taco Bell won the franchise war and is the only restaurant remaining.

> Taco Bell won the franchise war and is the only restaurant remaining. When I saw that movie when I was small, I thought that was literally Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Burger King, et al fighting with tanks, etc. Taco Bell emerged victorious after a bloody struggle.

Could be.

In SnowCrash, I think there were some subplots talking about the fighting was somewhat real between franchises.

And you could become a citizen of a franchise state.

I noticed `ChainPatrol` has a Github: https://github.com/chainpatrol There's a `report abuse` button on the right of that page. I used it. (Category: Bullying and Harassment)

Contrary to this, I'd like to see 3blue1brown actually get two more strikes and get deleted per YouTube "3 strikes" policy. Imagine the furor and outrage of that. One of the most popular, meaningful, and impactful channels done in by YouTube's (and the DMCA's) ridiculous policy [1]. The public outcry from this might motivate real policy changes both within Google and other FANNG companies as well as with lawmakers. U…

I love 3blue1brown and have followed the channel for years. One of my absolute favorite content creators.

But I think you're vastly overestimate how popular he is compared to other channels that have gotten copyright strikes, or how much YouTube/Google care.

I also don't love YouTube's policy, but are you so confident there's a better policy out there?

This is not just an information preservation problem. It's a problem with the creators who depend on YouTube ad revenue to fund to create content like this suddenly and unpredictably losing that revenue stream.

You cannot depend on Youtube ad revenue to survive, as it can be taken away at any time.

You can’t depend on any particular job to survive either. Does that imply OSHA is useless?

Every year it becomes clearer that Idiocracy was indeed a documentary.

No. In the movie, President Camacho recognized the smart guy was smart and wanted him to help because he was smart. We don't have leaders with that kind of wisdom and good intentions.

Are you comparing a federal labor regulatory agency to ad payments that exist at the whim of a commercial entity?

We are retracting the takedown request, and will conduct a full post-mortem to ensure this does not happen again. We have been combatting a huge volume of fake YouTube videos that are attempting to steal user funds. Unfortunately, in our mission to protect users from scams, false positives (ve…

Haha, they see themselves as ‘good cops,’ deciding what content is acceptable and what isn’t. It’s not even about copyright—it’s about what they think is good for users and what isn’t. And in the process of playing ‘police’ they end up taking down one of the best videos explaining how Bitcoin works.

This is par for the course in crypto communities. There are multiple competing Bitcoin subreddits, mainly because each one decides which info to censor because they don't like a particular coin/fork/tech.

We need a leader like President Camacho!

I don't think it does. Keep in mind though that 3blue1brown is peanuts compared to Mr. Beast. I would not be surprised if Youtube has a team dedicated to keep Mr. Beast happy.

Well, there is a thought which is not helping keep the January blues at bay.
