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.

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.

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.

Title is clickbait, because a sentence like that without context is alarmist.

It's not wrong, it's mentioned and explained in the video, byt it's still clickbait.

The story here is Bloomberg fuckery and the copyright strike, not the imminent channel deletion.

without context? context is in the video. or do you want titles that span 4 lines with 3 sentences?

Why is it a big deal? Don’t you agree with Linus that clickbait is just part of the game, and we should accept the sensational thumbnails and titles? Hate the game, not the player and all that?

Just because it’s being normalized by the Linuses and Tech Jesuses on youtube doesn’t mean we shouldn’t call it what it is.

This video is click bait and the content is rather mid. We’re clearly supposed to feel some kind of outrage over a freedom of press kinda thing, but in reality the video is more like: waaah our ad revenue took a hit on this one video because of Big Evil Company abusing the copyright claim system, NOT FAIR! (Ignoring that this has been happening hundreds if not thousands of times per day for over a decade to much smaller channels than GamersNexus, without a peep from Tech Jesus on the issue).

I’m actually on your side. I was bringing up those questions to question why they would get upset with be gently applying clickbait label.

Usually fans of these channels fall in line with the rhetoric.

But once again, I tried a conversation style that failed when I didn’t get a response from who I was talking to, and I got downvotes.

sorry, not everyone is browsing lemmy as if it was a full time job. also I’m not a fan of them in that sense. Maybe I have watched 3 of their videos and even that was years ago. I just understand that copyright strikes are very dangerous even for a big channel like that, because independently of how many videos you have, it’s always only 3 strikes you need to get your channel deleted, and if they are mad and start looking it could easily happen.

No worries are directed at you. It’s just me lamenting how I keep going about things wrong.

I need to touch grass, for sure.
