YouTube is also banning all cryptocurrency channels, strike by strike. For no reason. It's disgusting. I know, because I have such a channel with a strike. 2 more and it's permanent delete. Can't appeal, as the livestream was deleted before it was in progress. No response to appeals for over a month and a half. (You get 1 warning before the strikes start, I was able to appeal only that.)

#102Which is why I would never trust Google for any business functions. These things happen all the time with Google. The model is based on your value being your ad revenue. If the cost of support outweighs your future ad revenue, which it always does, you're ignored. Everything is automated, and no matter what bad decision the machine makes, you can't appeal. Unfortunately, that attitude translates to GSuite for Busines…
One of the sad hacks for businesses nowadays is finding a way to throw them money to achieve some grounds for complaining on account of being a customer. With YouTube, you probably want to pay some money for ads so they'll look at you differently. I remember working with a client for a YouTube channel they had bought ad placements for, and it blew my mind that I could actually call a human at YouTube who would also p…
How is paying for someone to do work for you a "sad hack"?

It would be cool if anybody else could make a real competitor to youtube then Google would have to actually cater more to content creators. However, sadly I think youtube is just too far ahead and google has way to many resources and time spent in the space for any competitor to even be able to make a dent into youtube's market.
youtube is a huge moneysink. not only would it be hard to build, it would never bring money. Google has entrenched themselves in a monopoly here. I think antitrust laws should be applied.
Of course it's not a monopoly or moneysink. It's highly profitable ($5b a year in revenue and not huge costs given their peering agreements).
TicTok, Instagram, Twitch, Dailymotion, FB Video, Vimeo, Netflix etc all are counterexamples.

#104I love Google's products, and I put up with the fact that they harvest my data. But to have such terrible support for their services is absolutely ludicrous. I've seen too many stories of people losing their content, email addresses, services they rely on, or livelihoods. All because Google is too cheap to provide a reasonable way for customers to talk to a person about their problem. I understand this is expensive a…

I've looked at https://lbry.tv/ recently. It seems pretty decent for YouTube replacement.
One thing that they have is an automatic system to copy over your YouTube catalog and upload it to lbry.

which emoji? :)
A person (people?) got really angry about the eggplant emoji a few years ago: https://github.com/nodejs/TSC/issues/8 https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3xtep0/socj...
What??
Can anybody explain to me (non American) why a fruit is offensive? And why people who find a fruit offensive are taken seriously?

Is eating live seafood animal abuse? I also don't see how this channel is directed towards children. This type of food looks expensive and I don't think kids normally eat this stuff.

That's a good sign, actually. Because it means that you'd need to push pretty hard to get banned.
Not necessarily. The platform might just have political biases of its own. But that's also why it can be good to have more variety: it means biases are a lot more likely to cancel out over time.
That's a good point. So yes, diversity is good.

if you eating live seafood is considered abuse, then should all fishing channels should be banned as well?

If a business can't survive treating humans like humans, perhaps it shouldn't exist.
Would be interesting if governments (perhaps the EU) started mandating levels of support.
An example in Australia is consumer protection law. This saved me recently. My AppleCare has expired. I had raised a support case with Apple before that about a flickering screen. I live in bali where we have no Apple stores and authorised service centres take 5-6 weeks to do screen replacement. But after opening the case I call support to discuss this open issue and going to Australia to get it fixed. The supper guy said sorry your AppleCare expired and doesn’t matter that you already opened a case before it expired. But I went to australia and Apple Genius Bar and the guy said well your still covered under consumer law.

I find it hard to imagine how eating living animals wouldn't be considered animal abuse.
I mean, how is it distinguishable from crushing them underfoot? Because teeth are OK, but high heels are not?
