I’ve been watching him since I think 2020. He made some of the best tech content of YouTube and I’ve never seen another individual have more knowledge of Windows internals than him. He was accused by Youtube in the past many times for spreading viruses in the description of some of his videos.

This time it was a copyright violation of some random Japanese channel, with no relation to his channel. It is very possible this error was made by the new AI YouTube copyright detection bots.

Please help spread this. RIP Enderman 2016-2025

UPDATE: The channel is back up again.

      I don’t know if that is a problem. If a human does dumb things he will be fired. If a computer/algorithm /Ai does it, it will be removed.

      I think it has more to do with human costs (salary) vs the cost of brand damage (youtube).

        They spent billions of dollars to develop and train the AIs that they use. They’re not going to remove it for fucking up someone’s YouTube channel.

        They wouldn’t remove it even if it caused someone’s death (which it probably has considering that they have been shown to be very bad at therapy and that people go to them for therapy).

      Antitrust Google. Fork YouTube as part of it. All existing content must be preserved. Remove YouTube’s ability to sell licensed content (cable TV channels, music, on demand). YouTube can then be purchased or spun off as a “YOU Tube” again - content made by people for people. Brand saved, community focused. Monetization heavily regulated (governance or internal governance, but just make it a requirement.)

      Or just let it burn and replace it with something else. Video’s just super-expensive to host and provide, probably by design to keep others out of the market.

      Yeah. Reddit is technologically very bland. It’s “easy” to make a Reddit clone - the community is what makes it tick. But YouTube needs crazy levels of infrastructure to provide the full experience that it does. When Reddit collapses there’s places to migrate to. But if YouTube collapses it’s just a loss.

          It won’t. Look at Mastodon vs Bluesky and Threads. Mastodon already existed, already worked well, had more features and was federated. People still chose Bluesky, which is just Twitter 2.0 owned by the same corporate douchebags.

          People CRAVE the system.

            You say that like that’s actually true.

            The real reason that people go to bluesky over Mastodon has nothing to do with “The System™”, it’s because the Mastodon onboarding process is incomprehendibly awful. It’s far worse than Lemmy, which itself is pretty terrible. The refusal to introduce an algorithm isn’t pro-consumer it’s just hostile to the non-terminally online. If a service isn’t easy to use it won’t be used. This isn’t a revolutionary concept.

                Yeah bluesky, news flash, most people don’t care about corporations they just want a product that isn’t a headache to use. The fact that you’re responding to that knowledge with hostility rather than trying to address the problem is exactly the attitude Mastodon has, which is exactly why no one uses it

                Idiot tech bros assuming that the rest of the population should have to wade through molasses, just because it’s how they like it, and everyone else is just stupid for refusing to deal with it.

            Every cycle of enshittification sends more people looking for alternatives. Remember the rebirth of “piracy” which streaming had all but killed for the most normal normies? People crave the system, but it’s possible they’ll slowly come around. Will it be fast enough. That’s for us to find out. I gently encourage people to think about more than just tomorrow because that short term proprietary bullcrap isn’t worth it in the long term.

            People don’t crave the system, they rather come to places that are advertised to them.

            What they crave is:

            • Easy onboarding without figuring out what is an “instance” (a concept entirely unknown to them), and which instances are good vs bad for them;
            • A trusted place that won’t become unavailable or buggy because an admin is performing an update or screwed something up or decided they don’t want to do this anymore;
            • Some sort of algorithm to filter out crap out of their feed (not having any algorithm is often not good);
            • Having their favorite creators and friends on the platform (which, again, boils out to advertising for a large part);

            etc.

            Fediverse as a whole and Mastodon in particular is yet to answer to a lot of these challenges.

      YouTube’s replacement would have to come from Amazon, Microsoft or Oracle. Maybe Netflix - they use AWS for their backend, but have their own CDN.

      And that’s just to compete on a technical level with the content distribution network. There’s also the whole issue of fighting a long time incumbent.

      Peertube is neat, but it will never compete with YouTube.

            No, it’s like Lemmy, you sign up to an instance and can post on it, and your channel is visible on the whole federated network.

            And if PeerTube grows, the “Peer” aspect will be very significant. Basically it’s a torrent and the instance is always seeding, and while other users are watching, you will be sending them data and recieving data from them, lightening load on the instance. It’s a simple and clever system. You can turn the torrent feature off in case you need to hide your IP address.

              Did it have to be opt out? Did some of the settings need to be buried in about: config? Its not even remotely a shock to any internet denizen that AI isn’t openly loved by all. Put simply they opted to act first and apologise later. Actions have consequences. They likely had meetings and decided the money was worth upsetting people like me who would react negatively. I’m simply fulfilling my part of the equation.

              They earned my trust and patronage by being more secure and faster - and principally “less evil” than the other guy.

                Don’t add random extensions to my browser without my permission.

                You wouldn’t do this for any other app or add-on, which immediately hits you with the dialogue window asking if you accept certain permissions after you’ve already consented by clicking the download button.

              When a patch rolls a feature in and has it on by default (see many articles about people having issues with runaway processor usage)… I’d consider that as close to sneaking as one can.

              With regard to the “switch” - that’s what I thought too. I was mistaken. There’s quite a few flags to set in about: config. That was what pushed me over the edge. Its a good piece of software. Its a shame they made that choice and shipped it in the way they did.

              C’est la vie. Every so many years a browser fucks up and sees a steady exodus to another. I have no allegiance to any of these corporations… If it works - I’ll use it. If it doesn’t I’ll find something else that does. If nothing else does… I’ll go without. Hard pass.

              I think its high time people started leaning into becoming digital nomads again. These corporations are far to comfortable fucking with their userbase.
