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

UPDATE: The channel is back up again.

          AI’s primary purpose is to provide an unaccountable excuse to fire people and keep wages down.

        Idk man, I can nuke an LLM model I deployed pretty easy, but it’s pretty hard to hold C-suite types accountable unless you’ve got a green hat.

      I don’t know if that is a problem. If a human does dumb things he will be fired. If a computer/algorithm /Ai does it, it will be removed.

      I think it has more to do with human costs (salary) vs the cost of brand damage (youtube).

        They spent billions of dollars to develop and train the AIs that they use. They’re not going to remove it for fucking up someone’s YouTube channel.

        They wouldn’t remove it even if it caused someone’s death (which it probably has considering that they have been shown to be very bad at therapy and that people go to them for therapy).

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

      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.

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

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

      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.

      Its amazing how much of a problem lose vs loose has become lately. But yes, OP should change it to “loses.”

        The thing I don’t get is how often are people using “looses” that it becomes possible to mix it up? I don’t think I have ever used that word in 40 years.

          My guess is that because English is such a mish-mash of other languages and has a lot of contradictory rules, the double-o in loose is how most people would guess the way to spell the “o” sound in lose. To people who haven’t been told otherwise, lose probably sounds similar to hose or dose in their heads and “oo” looks more correct despite being wrong.

    I would be more upset about this sort of shit happening to youtube about 10 or 15 years ago. If i need some information and theres a youtube video on it, the info is usually around 8 minutes in to a 30 minute video where they give shit loads of guff that nobody needs to know while telling you to smash that like button, hit the subscribe it really helps out the channel so if you like the content can you please subscribe dont forget to subscribe if you wanna see the channel grow then press subscribe dont miss a video by pressing subscribe I need you to subscribe here’s the information I promised but dont forget to subscribe hit that subscribe button if this helped you then leave a comment and dont forget to subscribe and like this video if you want to see more like this.

    it’s funny how they also recently started to block all adblockers by not even loading videos at all just a day into US elections…

        You’re right but I’m a LibreWolf guy myself. Firefox has been making too many shitty decisions (AI Integration things) for my liking.

          uBlock works just fine for librewolf BTW.

          Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser and suddenly went from an efficient browser to dogshit tier right next to edge. If I need to about: config AND look up how to disable some garbage a dev shoehorned in… I’ll spend that time downloading a browser that doesnt forget its only job is to render the thing I clicked on as quickly and efficiently as possible. If I want something more I’ll use an add-on.

      Ublock origin has been good and Freetube the best experience when it is working. And there’s always switching VPN to Albania to not be shown ads.

      Just had this problem today. Disabling the Ad Nauseam extension allowed videos to actually load, although now they all stop at the one minute mark. I can work around it, but I’ll check to see if another extension is causing it when I have a chance.

    At this point I feel like we should have a website and community that coordinates with all youtubers to collectively move together in waves. To have them exist on multiple platforms until everyone is firmly on a few other ones
