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

    I have a feeling that the YouTube apocalypse will be much harder to watch (as in “more sad/unpleasant”) than the Reddit apocalypse.

      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.

        But in either case there’s massive value in the existing content that would be lost.

          maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…

          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.

            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. Definitely hear you though and it does feel that uphill sometimes.

        Not to mention you can fit more Reddit on a 1TB hard drive than YouTube, which makes it much easier to exfiltrate content.
