Taken at face value, this implies their copyright infringement claim was fraudulent, but in pursuit of a higher good.

But according to many replies to that tweet, they were actually working on behalf of actual copyright infringers.

Not sure what to believe.

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.

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

In Idiocracy the masses are aware that things are not as good as they once were, they recognize and value competent people, and then voluntarily agree to put them in power so that things may be fixed.

IMO that is a depiction of some kind of meritocratic utopia - exactly the opposite of what we have, on all accounts mentioned above.

can we start permanently banning companies that submit false-positive takedown requests? 3 strikes for them should result in not being able to submit any strikes anymore and all their content being removed if the content creator can get their channel removed, same thing must apply to the opposite side as well

You can just create a new company. There is an asymmetry there which your tit for tat approach does not take into consideration. And no, creating a new channel requires far more work.

> 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.

I am okay with this timeline. At least it has better conversation topics than most of our current timeline.

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.

Maybe he was stupid to the point of just being naive.

They're only doing this because 3blue1brown named and shamed. Remember, kids, always name and shame malevolent actions.

You need to name and shame… and also have enough influence to have your post rise against the sea of garbage out there.

Most people’s post wouldn’t get looked at at all, 3blue1brown is fortunate to have such a large audience so that his complaint gets looked at by a human.

Either way, someone needs to sue them.

> Contrary to this, I'd like to see 3blue1brown actually get two more strikes and get deleted per YouTube "3 strikes" policy. Does the "3 strikes" policy apply to large channels that bring in a lot of views and ad revenue?

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.

Imagine being on that team, and going home every day and reflecting on your career choices.

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.

Your analogy doesn't match my statement. I am saying there should be a canonical location for what you create that is on a URL that you own. Everything else is distribution.

You built a house on someone else's land, and then they tore it down. Build a house on your own land, as small as that land may be. From there you can create roads, bridges, tunnels to other people's land. On the web land is infinite. You can make your own land.

I'd like to think no one knows how the seashells work and the real joke is everyone just makes fun of people for not knowing (the writer didn't even know what they did and refuses to say anything other than how they came into the story)

Huh? I thought that was canon. Was that actually just a head fiction?

No they played that one pretty straight. You were supposed to be just as confused as MC. If they wanted you to think anything else, they would have given a knowing wink.
