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.

Also, Joe seemed genuinely interested in helping everyone, and didn't seem to neglect the needs of significant portions of the population to achieve some ideological goal or another.

Maybe there's such a thing as being too smart to have power.

The problem is not YouTube, but the law. The DMCA requires that online service providers (YouTube, Reddit, etc.) comply immediately with any takedown request and without question, so long as it meets sufficient conditions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Copyright_Infringement_...

YouTube's system goes well beyond what is required by the DMCA. Notice no mention of "copyright strike" in the DMCA.

YouTube’s “three strikes” policy is their implementation of the DMCA’s “repeat infringers” requirement:

> has adopted and reasonably implemented, and informs subscribers and account holders of the service provider's system or network of, a policy that provides for the *termination* in appropriate circumstances of subscribers and account holders of the service provider's system or network who are *repeat infringers*

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.

This is where headcanon [1] can be a lot of fun. Just accept that they really did fight a war. It's not like it doesn't particularly fit the milieu...

A policy I think would be interesting: copyright violation stops being about who is able to post what, and starts being about who is profiting from what. Content takedowns are impossible, but affected artists are directly and nontransferrably allowed to legally assert rights to the profits directly derived from their content and can legally reclaim lost funds. Preferably there would be a similar mechanism for false claims. No one loses money they aren’t entitled to, the rightsholder doesn’t need to play whack-a-mole to enforce an artificial monopoly, and no disruption for viewers in any case.

We need something that frees us from this prison. I still remember when it was normal for youtube videos to play mainstream music in the background. Now draconian enforcement has created this artificial power that people beyond music labels can abuse, and it affects our art adversely. Feels clear to me we need something new that operates in 2024, not from the era where individual movie pirates faced 6-7 figure fines and jail time.

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 could see being a citizen of CosaNostra Pizza.

There is something subtly wrong with the world as presented in that "documentary" in general it is that somebody has to keep the lights on, the machines running, that is, there is too much working infrastructure for the citizens ability level. I suspect the big corporations maintain a hidden educated population and are happy to run the world from the shadows.

Now honestly it is just a goofy movie premise, and we should not look too far into it, but sometimes it is fun to go full nerd.

We need a leader like President Camacho!

I find myself surprised that I agree.

When I watched the movie I laughed and thought it all ridiculous. I've since been shown that having well-intentioned, self-aware, cooperative people in government is probably more important than their intelligence.

Just a friendly heads up. Anyone who wants to avoid Twitter, since it has become so toxic, can use the domain xcancel.com in place of twitter.com or x.com. like so:
