If you can't agree on a new rental rate for a new lease and you leave, that's not eviction.
If the owner doesn't want you to be there any more and won't renew the lease, that's eviction.
A middle ground would be when the owner will only agree to a new lease at a stupid high rate. They aren't exactly throwing you out, but they kind of are. There is a lot of brinkmanship in this area, where the owner checks how successful you look, and how committed you are to the location. They may try to hike the rent to the edge of what you can possibly pay. This is the reason a lot of restaurants close down when they seem to be highly successful. Whatever the outcome, each side will walk away with the opposite view of whether this counted as an eviction issue.
Eviction an issue of compulsion, not the good or bad standing of either party.

--- Quote from: EEVblog on February 06, 2024, 04:33:14 am ---The "clickbait" label pisses me off. I get it all the time of course. To me the "clickbait" slur means a thumbnail and/or title that is not indicitive of the content.

How come? The currently-agreed upon definition (in various dictionaries) is based on manipulation to elicit a particular response, with the "traditional" meaning being "using sensationalist headings to get users to view the content".
That is, anything that tricks the user into clicking a link or watching a video is clickbait. This comes from the manipulation part.

That is exactly what I said.
Of course every creator is going to pick a title and thumbnail that encourages people to click on the content. As I said, creators have to do this in order to even stand out to their own subscribers in a sea of content in their sub feed.
As a creator and a viewer, as long as the title and thumbnail matches the content, I'm fine with it.
I've had countless people throw "CLICKBAIT!" at me for just putting descriptive text in the thumbnail, and that pisses me off.

Well, I think your videos are quite well named, the thumbnails are OK, nothing to be upset about. Better names than:
"TSP #207 - Teardown, Detailed Analysis, Upgrade & Experiments of the..." (runs out of characters that Youtube shows).

And if you check out Xyla Foxlin's videos, you'll see the same. They're a bit more dramatically labeled (many with emphasis via ALL CAPS) but not overly so, pretty similar to how I perceive her in her videos; bubbly, but intelligent and capable. Not even close to clickbait, any of the videos by either of them, in my opinion.
Which is exactly why getting labeled as clickbait must be so aggravating.
The entire subthread about the use of 'evict' is kinda silly, but slightly related, because it too involves emotions/subtext people associate with the word.
Humans just assume too much, and rarely question their own assumptions. (I'm no different, and have to work hard at it too, and I still fail at it occasionally.)
I did find it very interesting to compare how she dealt with the situation, how Fran dealt with hers, what Dave would suggest and has suggested, and how I'd deal with it myself; so this thread did/does have value to me. (It's not the choices per se, but the reasons for those choices, and what kind of effects those choices might have.)

Eviction as a foreigner, it sounds to me when they glue a note to your door that you have 1 week to leave otherwise they will forcibly remove you. And you need to be in a serious offense of the contract to come to that point. This is "they didn't extend my rental contract" but that's a lot of words.
I didn't see a lot of her videos, but I liked the energy she was bringing to them.

That is an eviction notice, but it depends on the contract what can lead up to it. No contractual offense or breaking of the contract is required.
It is only in entertainment/drama where eviction always involves a contractial offense; either the hapless tenant has to break the rules, or the landlord is evil and wants to make money. That's where the emotive content comes from to us foreigners! In real life, eviction just means the tenant has to move and cannot stay no matter how much they'd want to.
