This seems like a huge abuse of the copyright system to me. It sounds to me like ChainPatrol doesn't actually have any IP to protect, but they are instead deputizing YouTube's copyright system to fight what they deem to be crypto scams. Absolutely wild if true.

There are lots of “companies” like this. Don’t think about buying this apologetic do-gooder tone, it’s an id claim troll trying to cover his ass after touching something they can get face punched for by the whole internet. Which the internet should do anyway. Imagine what it did and continues to do to channels no one cares about that much. These parasites don’t deserve to exist, regardless of the official stance.

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.

I’m sure that “corrupt cop looking away” is their core business model.

I wonder if it makes sense for someone to do a huge IP troll bot network to make copyright claims on all the big YouTubers in such an egregious and in-your-face wrong way that youtube would be forced to redesign or remove the system. It'd suck for a bit but I think this slow burn affecting people that can't defend themselves (3blue1brown can) is worse.

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?

Good morning, isn’t it? This goes for years, happens to every youtuber from time to time. And if they are tiny and have no creators community, they often just swallow the “demonetization” fact.

You’re probably assuming youtube doesn’t know about the scale of this problem and all it takes is to show it. It absolutely does know it and “be big enough to get human assistance” is their conscious mode of operation. They couldn’t care less about what’s right, because it’s not money.

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.

Here's my guess what would happen: Youtube will have a word with their contacts in government and in short order you'd end up in a court room for some nebulous federal crime about malicious use of computers and hacking and they'd have no concerns about locking you up for decades. Oh and absolutely nothing about Youtube's attitude to copyright would change.

Take a look at Aaron Swartz's case for example, people may be sympathetic to his motives but he still got pursued for a 50 year federal sentence and ended up killing himself.

Economic value is entirely rooted in life on the ground, but it is simply the demand part of the equation. Its equal to demand (in £) divided by supply (kg/gallon/BTC etc). Market oscillations are all based in practical reality, but if they don't make sense, you're just not aware of their cause. For example, multiple traders around the world simultaneously buying /selling with high leverage according to obscure techn…

I mean this is what all the textbooks say, but it's cold comfort to people who want bread, clean water, a roof and a warm bed rather than some economist-approved funny money on a graph somewhere. Everyone's been told to trust the system, the market knows best. At this rate, I don't think they will continue to do indefinitely.

Now we're on a completely different subject, but that's fine.

Trust what system exactly?

If there was no poverty, there would be no motivation to work and build a roof over your head or grow crops to make bread. Unfortunately, the funny money that I show in the graph means that it's not a fair playing field.

If you want to fix the world, fix the money. The world is desperately in need of a digital money that can't be created with no effort, and by just a few select people (i.e. banks). The money we're using is toxic.

I think https://chainpatrol.io/ is fake. Look at things like the "legal terms."

Of course youtube knows, the point is to make all the users and creators pissed with them in a critical moment, vs slowly burning with mild annoyance forever.
