Youtube's crackdown on some tech channels

Every last bit of it because of AI not knowing what it’s doing. Evrn UPS and FedEx are suffering because of stupidly adopting AI.

that’s sad

Hear, hear! I love YouTube, but I hate Google. The worst thing to happen to YouTube was Google acquiring the platform.

There’s a reason for calling it ā€œartificialā€. :wink:

Good luck to the guy/gal whose channel was terminated. You can’t actually interact with a human at Google and usually never get a response.

I have mostly been interested in some educational tech channels on YT.

If they will be taken down or if the creators are ā€œterrorizedā€ now to pubish content which may be flagged as dangerous, this would practically turn YT to a useless platform for me.

Sure, I watch some other stuff too on YT but tech has been the bulk of my consumption.

Reminds me of The Linux Experiment :

Not good ones, IMO. I’ve looked at Rumble (you have to provide a phone number to have an account), FreeTube (lacks content), Bitchute (you’ll understand why Google bans videos if you watch some of the drivel on this platform), Odysee (you have to create content to be able to post comments on, or like/dislike, videos).

I was thinking about PeerTube (decentralized, federated using ActivityPub) though I cannot say I have any in-depth knowledge or experience of it.

600,000 videos seems like a lot. I’ll check it out.

Another reason other platforms usually aren’t good options…most YouTube content creators don’t add their content on other platforms.

people kept their clothes on for more than three minutes and talked about stuff in one of the videos at the PornHub site.

Couldn’t find any Endeavour reviews or Stones songs though. May have to pass on PornHub for Linux content.

For dirty Linux videos you have to dive deep into the Dark Web.
