A random company is able to claim copyright infringement for one of the most beloved YouTube channels. WTF is going on at Google and Youtube?

I’m very interested how they think any of their copyright takedown claims pass scrutiny.

The system intentionally does not require scrutiny.

Youtube implemented this system as part of a lawsuit with Viacom who was going to take them to the cleaners. Putting all the power in the hands of the people making the claim was intentional.

If someone's video gets taken down incorrectly and then later put back up, Google does not care, someone else's video got the ad slots anyway. There's more content on Youtube uploaded every second than can be watched.

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.

Foe those who don't know - which included myself until about 30 seconds ago - this is a reference to the 1993 film Demolition Man.

but don't forget that even after the fall of civilisation, there will still be hope in the form of the probe bearing a vial of Elon Musk's semen to Alpha Centari

This is not just a bitcoin issue. See: Sports gambling, prediction markets, pay-later apps. Gamified finance in general encourages risky behavior.

I'll offer a slight adjustment; "Finance in general encourages risky behavior". It is an industry explicitly dealing in moving and dealing in risk. We periodically become very aware of this. See financial news in 1893, 1901, 1907, 1910, 1914, 1920, 1937, 1949, 1953, 1961, 1970, 1973, 1983, 1987, 1992, 1998, 2000, 2008, 2011, and so on and so on. It's almost as if a zero-sum, value neutral industry controlling the bul…

What part is zero-sum?

One of the reasons that copyright processes are so biased towards traditional rightsholders and against individual creators is that the latter group is simultaneously captive to the platform and unorganized/decentralized; YouTube needs licenses and goodwill from, say, Universal, far more than it needs 3blue1brown individually. And the incentives for rectifying this are skewed: video platforms simply need to address i…

The state of content producers (including app developers) on the internet today is the same as that of factory workers in the industrial revolution. Everyone's work is immediately replaceable with that of someone else, who is more than willing to step in to take the spot. Workers solved that with unions that can coordinate the workers' actions. In concrete terms, a content-creators union might act as a middleman who…

While the presence of an algorithm that "auto-scabs" makes a full-fledged strike fundamentally difficult, a threat of a coordinated campaign where large creators encourage users to install ad blockers and go off-site for donations, rather than buying superchats/subscriptions on platform, might be meaningful enough to compel achievable asks like copyright strike reform.

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.

It took three people on Reddit to start a rumor that Anne Hathaway was a bad person. Probably due to they thought her as Catwoman was going to be like Ryan Reynolds in Green Lantern. And they were still seething over Katie Holmes.

> It took three people on Reddit to start a rumor that Anne Hathaway was a bad person

Start a rumor amongst a couple hundred crypto bros that no one else pays attention to.

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.

I was surprised to see this here, because I remembered I recently added 3blue1brown on bsky:

https://bsky.app/profile/3blue1brown.bsky.social

...but he only posted this to Twitter. Not his own blog, nor bsky, not to his Patreon, or to Reddit - only Twitter. Nitter is always just going to be an echo of Twitter. Discord and Reddit and HN and a personal blog serve different purposes. Bsky and Mastodon and the rest (including Threads) are doomed to never become the next Twitter unless we can get people to start changing their habits.

I think just not engaging with content on Twitter is far more likely to produce that outcome than consuming the content on Nitter.

Unlike (say) French, English has no central authority determining correct or incorrect usage. Anything literally goes.

Including, unfortunately, this usage of "literally."

You're literally being a like, linguistic pervert rn
