Just as a FYI, Blender runs their own PeerTube instance (that you can subscribe to via ActivityPub/Fediverse (so Mastodon and all of those others)) which they fully control: https://video.blender.org/ https://video.blender.org/
Reason they created that in the first place was because of a similar accident in the past. Maybe hopefully soon they'll stop using YouTube fully as YouTube doesn't seem to care about solving the core problem of driveby copyright strikes.
- shapefrog 4y agoElon should buy Youtube and make it free again.
- capableweb 4y agoAs a lover of everything not-YouTube, I concur.
- 1letterunixname 4y agoHe would Make The Thumbs Down Great Again and fire half of the staff randomly by Tweet.
- ohgodplsno 4y agoRight. What YouTube needs is much more money burned on it and to have even more far right content pushed onto people
- danuker 4y agoHow will it make money? When Google bought it, it wasn't profitable.
- nkozyra 4y ago"$8" is the answer I'd expect
- hef19898 4y agoEither that or 42 per year
- andrew_ 4y agoWhat will $69 get me?
- BlueTemplar 4y agoHis Shiba Inu's bath water ?
- thesuitonym 4y agoThat's the point.
- actualwitch 4y agoDid you mean "free"? As in "free" speech that he brought to twitter.
- misnome 4y agoHe seems to be very good at (at least short-term) pivoting platforms away from advertiser-based income. Mainly because all the advertisers are driven away, but still...
- txru 4y agoCan we not keep Musk discussion to Musk threads? There seem to be enough of them, and this sort of comment just attracts cheerleading and booing with no analysis.
- atoav 4y agoI typically tend to boo with analysis, but it is booing nontheless.
- luch 4y agoYep, people seem to believe that Youtube is still a platform for crowdsourced videos, by the people for the people. Youtube is since ~2016 primarly a platform for music clips, a sorta MTV for millenials and GenZ. They absolutely do not give a fuck anymore for content creator and hobbyists. The faster people will understand that, the less they will be enraged about ContentID/DMCA
- nkozyra 4y agoI agree that YouTube - like most large social networks - cares only about the large traffic generators, but I'm not sure about your characterization of the content. I can find high quality creators for almost anything on earth that interests me - programming, ML, music creation, woodworking, and so on. I suspect this is all about the deprioritization of the little guy. Google also shuts the door quickly and hard. My personal adsense account was permabannned years ago and 1) I don't know why 2) there appears no avenue to address it
- 1letterunixname 4y agoYouTube is equivalent and worse than regular TV now, completely in the tank for corporations and hostile to individual creators.
- mort96 4y agoHow so? With regular TV, 99% of the time nothing interesting is going on, and 50% of watch time is unskippable ads (despite the service being paid). With YouTube, I can always find something which I find interesting, and there are no ads (even though Premium is way cheaper than TV), only some skippable sponsor spots which some creators choose to put in. The situation with YouTube is dire, the DMCA situation is dire (in general, but also YouTube's handling of it), there are serious issues with how YouTube treats its creators, and there are serious issues with people being fed disinformation by the algorithm. But in no way is it "equivalent and worse than regular TV".

- winReInstall 4y agoRemember when Singapore stock artists for traditional chinese media used the footage used by others to silence ccp critics and youtube did nothing.
- BlueTemplar 4y agoIt funny, today I also learned that Singapore and Hong Kong were one of the few countries that ignored DMCA. (I kind of expected Uzbekistan to be on the list !)
- matheusmoreira 4y agoThe only way to solve the copyright problem is to abolish copyright. Things will only get worse and worse every year until that happens.
- kevincox 4y agoPeerTube channels also have RSS feeds so you can subscribe using that as well if you aren't on the ActivityPub bandwagon yet (or prefer your RSS reader).
