Everyone can relax, it was just an "error" ::) Coincidentally just as the purge news had hit Forbes and other big news sites... |

--- Quote from: Halcyon on December 27, 2019, 12:31:19 am ---For those content creators that I follow and use these other platforms, I will exclusively only watch them using either LBRY or Vimeo from now on. --- End quote --- A couple of videos about LBRY from me coming up... *cough* *cough* I'm up to 1500 subs on LBRY now, and the daily subs growth on LBRY is approaching that of my Youtube channel! Hence why I've been pushing this the last handful of videos, and that will continue. As for Vimeo, sadly that's not hugely viable for creators. Not only is there no audience there (Bitchute and LBRY have larger existing audiences), there is no ability to auto-sync content from Youtube. So that means creators have to not only manually upload to Vimeo, but also the title, description, thumbnail, etc, all manually. This is a real PITA and is why I don't bother. I just batch upload to Vimeo occasionally by just dragging the files over. Hence the title defaults to the filename, and there is no description. |

--- Quote from: Syntax Error on December 26, 2019, 03:52:11 pm ---@EEVBlog : Dude, harsh :popcorn: Unlike regular investments or investment channels, the crypto market is wholey unregulated. With the collective magnitude of losses from those who put their life savings into these crypto-scams, after thoroughly researching their investments on YouTube, the class action lawyers will be looking to the largest and lowest hanging fruit - which is Alphabet, aka Google. Google is not exactly flavour of the month with governments, so beating the Big Greedy also looks good. --- End quote --- Google is legally protected because it's a PLATFORM and NOT a PUBLISHER. These are very specific legal protections under US law. Once Youtube start moderating content thinking they have a "duty of care" as you put it, they risk becoming a PUBLISHER, and they are no longer legally protected. I highly recommend you go and research this. |

The US has too many laws and regulations about every little thing when it comes to the internet, which is what forces Youtube to be so ridiculous, though YT is still at fault too because they do everything with a shot gun approach which perhaps they don't need to, and lot of people get screwed. Either way, there really needs to be a competing platform, and it needs to be based in a country that has friendlier internet related laws. Like just look at the whole coppa thing, it's ridiculous. LBRY does look interesting, I created an account, just not sure how scalable something like that is. Blockchain is an interesting tech but I don't think it's the end all be all of decentralizing stuff. I have two Youtube videos related to me giving away Ethereum. One is the announcement that I'm giving it away and the other is me announcing the winner. I'll be curious to see if these eventually get deleted. So far they have not been hit. The videos don't mean anything at this point though, it's about a contest that's now over. Maybe because I'm not really specifically talking about crypto they flew under the radar. |
