I love that he responded to their takedown request by releasing an entire video about Bloomberg and their shitfuckery.
I would like to see more content relating to the last interview in the video with Mr. Pigeon. Truly think he has great arguments that need further airtime
So controversial, yet so brave
Time to move to nebula? :)
Or better yet PeerTube.
Every substantial youtube channel should be hosting and backing up to a self-hosted, owned, peertube.
Issue is such channels need giant amounts of storage for this.
Linus tech Tips showed his multiple upgrades over the years it's quite crazy what they need on storage space.
LTT storage is excessive. He stores all his footage in full quality instead of just storing his final edited videos in a compressed format. Plus if you're a youtuber with millions of subscribers you can afford to pay for a few TB of storage to hold and serve your videos. Its not that expensive.
Not after you lose your channel and all your income. PeerTube doesn't appeal to people who make a living at this because there's no revenue stream.

That's the right way to do it, you want to avoid generation loss as much as possible.
Not just storage, but bandwidth. Streaming one video to potentially thousands of people at once can get very expensive.
Nebula is a shithole, just have a glance at their privacy policy.
Floatplane would be ideal but I think he burned that bridge.
PeerTube is probably his best bet.
I don't want to see his channel deleted but I'm also VERY interested in what would take place in the aftermath...

It looks pretty run of the mill to me?
Because youtube was so much better in that regard?
Might sell your data in the future is a hell of a lot better than currently selling the shit out of your data. Nebula is a side grade in terms of privacy, but an upgrade in terms of creators not getting their shit deleted for no good reason.
I'm so fucking sick and tired of everyone saying "WELL EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT TOO!" as if that's any sort of defense. The world is fucked. You do you but I'm gonna do whatever I can not to contribute to it.
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.
3 dmca/copyright strikes on a channel and yt deletes you. It was mentioned near the beginning of the video.
I would assume its in reference to the section of the video quoting YouTube's policies that channels can be removed after 3 copyright strikes. Bloomberg has 10 days to appeal to YouTube and keep the strike active
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.
Bloomberg has 10 days to file for lawsuit against Gamers Nexus. If they do, the take down stands, and it's a strike until Gamers Nexus may win the case. Which will be expensive. 3 strikes and YouTube closes the channel with near zero option for appeal.
Gamers Nexus cannot manage if a big company like Bloomberg goes all in. They can easily bankrupt a small channel like Gamers Nexus with frivolous lawsuits. And if you are bankrupt, you can't defend yourself.
The US judicial system is heavily tilted towards those that have more money.
Time for them to at minimum mirror their channel to Odysee and/or PeerTube so that they'll still have a platform just in case their channel gets nuked.
Even if you don't plan on ditching YT outright, it's still a good idea to mirror to Odysee, PeerTube, or both, as a backup because of shit like this.
All YouTube will be is just AI “creator” slop soon. People should be ditching that shit post-haste.
Aw, don't you love searching for an update on something just for the algorithm to show you a low view count video that's a mediocre computer voice talking over a barely related slideshow?
Before Google came along, most search engines were manually curated. I'm disappointed that nobody's had any success bringing that concept back. They always cave in and take the cheap route by trying to make the general public & algorithms rate things, which of course instantly gets gamed to uselessness.
The pagerank algorithm worked fine for many years in the 2000-2010s before google transitioned into a full time advertising company
Bloomberg’s lawyer to Steve: how DARE you contact us without going through another lawyer
He should be on PeerTube, anyways.
Waaaay less money to be made there. Not saying he's exclusively doing this for the money like the other reply, but we're not talking about some solo guy making videos in his free time for fun. The man is running a business, needs money to make this videos happen, and to my knowledge this is his job.
I do not understand why creators feel the need to be exclusively on one platform. Simply crosspost the videos.
$$$ that's why. YouTube gives the greatest return. If they post to multiple platforms, not only is it more work, but they then also subtract from the number of views they get on YouTube. It's all about the $$$.
Stop building houses on the king's land.
I don't watch his channel, but from here it seems like he is in a "rage" spiral. Like being a bit unpleasant and when people respond to that he doubles down going fro just a bit to kind of an ass
Yeah it's strange why more people don't just give into corporate greed and losing ownership of their channels when they discuss potential (obvious) corruption.
Upsetting that they would react in a negative way!
Ive also only seen a few videos of his over the last few years but it seems like he's recently had some wildly successful videos based off exposing corruption in the PC/tech industry and has morphed his channel from tech reviews to some sort of investigative journalism chasing that high he got from said viral videos.
He goes into detail on some of the videos, but to summarize the "controversial" videos due less well when it comes to recouping the money it takes to film them (if at all). They (often):
Oh no, no more YouTube tech drama
On one hand, yes. Totally. Just like the Roblox vigilante stuff and the SKG stuff, etc.
But this video and those examples are connected to larger systemic issues in the world and in the tech industry. It’s not just YouTuber beefs or relationship drama.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
