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: https://xcancel.com/3blue1brown/status/1876291319955398799 This links to independent Nitter to provide a full thread.

Great to see a resurgence of a genuinely working Nitter instance. Appreciate this.

Installed immediately and enabled to run on private windows. Good self-plug :)

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... [1]: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/words-were-watching...

Abusing the DMCA to take down videos stealing user funds seems... questionable.

'headcanon' is jargon within general fandom. The term refers to the application of imagination against the established canon of a body of fiction, to expand upon that body of work.

Example:

- Superman being from Krypton is canon.

- Superman not truly being the son of Jor-El, because his mom slept around, might be one fan's headcanon.

Completely agree. It should be on YouTube to do that and not a 3rd party.

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

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

This makes it sound like this is an overt decision by YouTube to stop monetizing a 3B1B video rather than an abuse of automated systems. The difference is important.

Whether creators should depend on YouTube as a practical matter is different from whether they should be able to. As a practical matter, yes, diversifying is safer. But creators and YouTube probably agree that diversifying shouldn’t be necessary.

Of course creators do not know how much money any particular video will make, but the implied social contract has always been that good videos will do well, for some definition of “good”. And no part of that definition of good has anything to do with bots abusing copyright systems.
