HELP US FIGHT SUPPRESSION OF INFORMATION: https://store.gamersnexus.net/black-market-gpu-backersBloomberg LP filed a copyright strike against GamersNexus on ...
That would defeat the entire purpose of sensationalist headlines and blowing up a Google search as a “deep investigation” which is this channel’s main source of attention.
They want the clicks on YouTube. Moving to PeerTube would be great if they just wanted the information to be out there, but that’s not their primary concern.
Undeniably he gets more clicks for this. However, would you deny somebody their own soapbox when they’re getting fucked by the system? He is using his leverage to call out the bullshit DMCA system that YouTube has in place which allows anybody to fuck with anybody. And in this case he’s bringing to light a giant Goliath of a company Bloomberg for fucking with his few person team, and for YouTube for making it the default.
I don’t think they’re sensationalist, they just don’t sugarcoat the industry bullshit. And believe it or not, they need to make money from this, it doesn’t pay itself. It’s like saying newspapers should be free, or else informing the people isn’t their primary concern.
“A farmer wants the money. Giving the good away for free would be great if they just wanted to feed people, but that’s not their primary concern.” Can even play that game for nurses etc
The channel is not in danger of being deleted, not even close. They received a single copyright strike, which in principle already got reversed by youtube (though still pending a 10 day waiting period for the claimant to reply and file legal action). It takes 3 valid copyright strikes within a 90 day period for a channel to be deleted.
They’re not angry because their channel is in danger of being deleted, they’re angry because they got hit in the moneys, losing ad revenue on a video that probably cost quite a bit of money to produce. Because of how the algorithm works, they’ll probably not recoup the lost views on that particular video, even when it’s reinstated.
It’s also not like abusive and frivolous copyright strikes are a new thing. They’ve been a byproduct of the safe harbor provisions (aka OCILLA ) in the DMCA for almost 3 decades now (DMCA was introduced in 1998), and the chilling effects on online speech and liberties have been well documented and covered to death by various publications over the years, but somehow GamersNexus only discovers it and starts to care when their bottom line is affected by it. I get that it’s not cool, but I don’t get why people should care about this particular instance of DMCA abuse, especially as it seems to be going as well for GamersNexus as a copyright strike can possibly go, given that Youtube already ruled in their favor.
To me it comes across as a hastily put together video to spring on their audience to whip up outrage and compensate for lost ad revenue. It’s a tried and true tactic, if you don’t have news, make the news. It seems to be working too: after one day this video already has more views than anything else they put out in the last 6 months, so it will probably make them more money than the taken down video would ever make. Good for them, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t see it for the sensationalist click bait non-story that it is.
Their bread and butter is hardware reviews and weekly news. No, they’re not a drama channel. Just because that’s the only time you, personally, hear about them doesn’t mean the rest of us work that way.
Telling Linus to fuck off is a good idea regardless of views.
I don’t have an interest in being liked by Steve. I do have an interest in journalism outlets who are willing to say that a $4T market cap company is full of shit.

To the contrary, they massively inflate whatever they can find that will gather clicks.
Examples?
Um, the video in question here?

Source of attention? By flying to another country and getting access to areas people never even knew? Lol wtf are you on about?
Lemmy simps really hard for gamers nexus, even though they’re just a drama channel at this point.

Simp spotted. Tech drama Jesus isn’t gonna like you more for defending him, he doesn’t even care that you exist.

I’m willing to say that too, but you have to admit that it’s a lot easier to say such things on a Youtube video that gets you 900k views in a day.
Also: careful to censor those middle fingers so you don’t get … gasp… demonetized
