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 has lots of problems, but lack of accountability is one of the big ones

    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).

    UPDATE: Channel "4096" (about 10 million subs i think, it had that legendary 30 million view video with the windows 7 windows dancing) has also been deleted:

    Except this isn't stealing windows. It's installing it on unsupported hardware and/or without needing user accounts to be tied to microsoft accounts. It has nothing to do with bypassing windows activation systems.

    What grounds do they have to pull those videos?

    You are aware there is no law called "If you show someone how to modify the product I sold to them (licensed to them too, as that makes no difference) I get to pull down their content" right?

    Most "bypasses" are using admin tools and commands to keep accounts in company or local for enterprises. Its hardly hacking. Microsoft just wants to forcibly inflate their registration numbers. Same thing with one drive, the start menu pulling bing content... Etc.

    Its gonna get worse faster as people bail on the eroding enshitified os... Making them try to forcibly lock in other people on the platform harder.

    Related: DRM and piracy. The more invasive it got - the worse it was for paying customers... While the DRM would be stripped out by the pirates. You'd think they'd know better.

    Right there with you. A fair number of companies are as well. Unfortunately not all software is "uniformly supported" so its really a mixed bag when it comes to who can flip the switch and who can't.

    There's a lot of costs to consider as well.

    All said - it says a lot when companies are willingly taking that plunge just to shed micro$ofts shit.

    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.

    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.

    It won't. Look at Mastodon vs Bluesky and Threads. Mastodon already existed, already worked well, had more features and was federated. People still chose Bluesky, which is just Twitter 2.0 owned by the same corporate douchebags.

    People CRAVE the system.

    You say that like that's actually true.

    The real reason that people go to bluesky over Mastodon has nothing to do with "The System™", it's because the Mastodon onboarding process is incomprehendibly awful. It's far worse than Lemmy, which itself is pretty terrible. The refusal to introduce an algorithm isn't pro-consumer it's just hostile to the non-terminally online. If a service isn't easy to use it won't be used. This isn't a revolutionary concept.

    Oh sure! People don't crave the system, Mastodon is just bad!

    Hey, what's the non-corporate alternative to a service that took over the world with consumers then? I mean, if the system is not the problem and people just hate Mastodon in particular, I'm sure you'll have plenty of examples to share.

    Yeah bluesky, news flash, most people don't care about corporations they just want a product that isn't a headache to use. The fact that you're responding to that knowledge with hostility rather than trying to address the problem is exactly the attitude Mastodon has, which is exactly why no one uses it

    Idiot tech bros assuming that the rest of the population should have to wade through molasses, just because it's how they like it, and everyone else is just stupid for refusing to deal with it.

    People don't crave the system, they rather come to places that are advertised to them.

    What they crave is:

    • Easy onboarding without figuring out what is an "instance" (a concept entirely unknown to them), and which instances are good vs bad for them;
    • A trusted place that won't become unavailable or buggy because an admin is performing an update or screwed something up or decided they don't want to do this anymore;
    • Some sort of algorithm to filter out crap out of their feed (not having any algorithm is often not good);
    • Having their favorite creators and friends on the platform (which, again, boils out to advertising for a large part);

    etc.

    Fediverse as a whole and Mastodon in particular is yet to answer to a lot of these challenges.

    Every cycle of enshittification sends more people looking for alternatives. Remember the rebirth of "piracy" which streaming had all but killed for the most normal normies? People crave the system, but it's possible they'll slowly come around. Will it be fast enough. That's for us to find out. I gently encourage people to think about more than just tomorrow because that short term proprietary bullcrap isn't worth it in the long term. Definitely hear you though and it does feel that uphill sometimes.

    Is YouTube trying to hide behind AI? Like removing videos and channels, throwing it to AI.

    Google like many companies are looking at AI like the next slave trade. Free labor that doesn't need sleep, ask for wage increases, or have rights. There's a reason so many companies are trying to brute force AI right now. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out why humanoid robots are being developed.
