That doesn't have the reply from ChainPatrol: Hello! This was a false positive in our systems at @ChainPatrol . We are retracting the takedown request, and will conduct a full post-mortem to ensure this does not happen again. We have been combatting a huge volume of fake YouTube videos that are attempting to steal user funds. Unfortunately, in our mission to protect users from scams, false positives (very) occasional…

Completely ignoring the release dates for the videos is simply amazing.

The database they are comparing to is probably not only youtube videos. So the freebooted or matching video, in their database, has a creation data which is earlier than the 3blue1brown video.

Why would they trust that date?

I noticed `ChainPatrol` has a Github: https://github.com/chainpatrol There's a `report abuse` button on the right of that page. I used it. (Category: Bullying and Harassment)

I'm flagging this comment for bullying. OK, I'm not but you get the point, right?

I agree with the gp. If we want a change we shouldn’t play by the rules. Also flagging our comments doesn’t do anything cause we don’t earn money here, and that is our leverage - you can’t do anything with us.

We should create a community-driven abusive botnet that slaps projects like this back, and slaps hard. Because there’s no laws here. No one cares. No order, everything by the word of someone large enough. People should not be afraid of taking law in their hands when there is no law for all practical purposes. And using methods that are available and effective.

The database they are comparing to does not exist. They are making shit up and spam reporting high view count videos to get the revenue from them.

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 don't think using the service alternately is a good idea. Just don't use it. Twitter has always been known for being toxic. Now the baby troll leads it .. I could never sell my soul like that.

Just don't use any social media. You'll be more healthy and secure.

i don't understand how this connects to copyright claims. who is the user whos funds is being stolen?

A common thing scammers do is copy material from other sites that the scammer's victims are familiar with and trust. The scammers put that material in their own sites to try to trick the victims into thinking that are on the site they trust.

Yeah so I imagine how this would work to steal people’s funds in this case is to take copyrightable brand assets from someweb3company.xyz. Use them to make a youtube video saying something like “someweb3company.xyz is doing a limited time offer of a free thing. Log in with your wallet details at someweb3company.totallylegitoffer.xyz to claim!” Or some variant on that. Logging in with your wallet gives them permission to steal all your stuff. Because “logging in with a web3 wallet” is actually signing something with your private key. That something can be a json token thing for logging in, but it can also be a transaction and the UX is so god-awful that people often don’t pay much attention to which they are doing and get ripped off.

I think https://chainpatrol.io/ is fake. Look at things like the "legal terms." To make a DCMA (US Law) counterclaim, they want "a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Province of Ontario."

Ontario is not part of the US.

I think that is the point that the poster was making.

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…

Sorry to butt in, but

>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.

The motivation would be to maintain one’s station, whether that station were impoverished or rich. Most of America isn’t in poverty, yet still works hard to try and achieve higher status, greater luxury, etc.

>the money we’re using is toxic

Is this the root cause behind productivity gains not going to workers for the last five decades? Genuine question, cause that’s the main issue I see.

Speculative assets are by definition are zero-sum. If they go to infinite or to zero, they still produce zero.

You're confusing things that you value in life with things with economic value. Also you don't seem to see that something that stores your economic value better than anything else (the "infinite" outcome) would be of great value to your life.

I apologize in advance for not offering something constructive to say. I just wish anyone here who is younger could see the difference between what the promise of the web was in ‘95 and what it has become. Such a burning pile of trash, it’s heartbreaking.
