I love that he responded to their takedown request by releasing an entire video about Bloomberg and their shitfuckery.

I would like to see more content relating to the last interview in the video with Mr. Pigeon. Truly think he has great arguments that need further airtime

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No! I'm sick of these influencers giving a platform to fascist birds. Enough is enough! #cancelmrpigeon

How is his channel going to be deleted? They appealed the take down and YouTube will reinstate the video in a matter of 10 days if Bloomberg failed to produce proof that he used their copy right shit. I'm actually genuinely asking because I watched the whole video and Steve didn't say anything about their channel being deleted.

[–] maaneeack@lemmy.world 130 points 2 weeks ago (14 children)

3 dmca/copyright strikes on a channel and yt deletes you. It was mentioned near the beginning of the video.

I would assume its in reference to the section of the video quoting YouTube's policies that channels can be removed after 3 copyright strikes. Bloomberg has 10 days to appeal to YouTube and keep the strike active

Bloomberg has 10 days to file for lawsuit against Gamers Nexus. If they do, the take down stands, and it's a strike until Gamers Nexus may win the case. Which will be expensive. 3 strikes and YouTube closes the channel with near zero option for appeal.

Gamers Nexus cannot manage if a big company like Bloomberg goes all in. They can easily bankrupt a small channel like Gamers Nexus with frivolous lawsuits. And if you are bankrupt, you can't defend yourself.

The US judicial system is heavily tilted towards those that have more money.

I sympathize with Steve and how he is, and how he goes about explaining things. And the style of making sharp points.

But he’s also flawed, and knows how to play the content game. This is nearly just clickbait. And they flew across the country in service of his style of rhetoric.

I honestly wish more people with audiences were just as pedantic and critical as he is. But he also has his own set of biases in the computer landscape. He is still a Gamer after all.

[–] helmet91@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago (13 children)

I don't think it's clickbait at all. He's in real danger of being silenced. With this latest project he reached into a massive wasp nest for sure, but I admire his efforts to speak up in cases like this.

And I haven't found any bias in his content in general. He's pretty transparent about his methodologies.

All YouTube will be is just AI “creator” slop soon. People should be ditching that shit post-haste.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 26 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Aw, don't you love searching for an update on something just for the algorithm to show you a low view count video that's a mediocre computer voice talking over a barely related slideshow?

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Oh absolutely. And it’s one of the same 3 or 4 voices in every video. And not only that, but a lot of the videos themselves are AI. Check the comments… yeah. No one notices or even cares.

It’s a foregone conclusion at this point. AI going to absolutely wreck the creativity of mankind. Art will be viewed in history books, and it’s fucking sad.

Before Google came along, most search engines were manually curated. I'm disappointed that nobody's had any success bringing that concept back. They always cave in and take the cheap route by trying to make the general public & algorithms rate things, which of course instantly gets gamed to uselessness.

The pagerank algorithm worked fine for many years in the 2000-2010s before google transitioned into a full time advertising company

Bloomberg’s lawyer to Steve: how DARE you contact us without going through another lawyer

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

While The title of the video is absolutely one of sensationalism, It's not out of the question as two more strikes could indeed delete a channel...

Stop building houses on the king's land.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The actual title of the video is:

Our GPU Black Market Documentary Has Been Taken Down by Bloomberg

Way less Click Bait sounding. And while a shitty thing for Bloomberg to do it is not any different than what tons of channels have been dealing with for years. So the Youtube sky is not falling any faster now than it was last week.

[–] beeb@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

It's not uncommon for titles to change over the first few hours after a release (A-B testing). I've seen the title as posted by the OP yesterday on my feed.
