Suing YouTube’s Science Scammers 

Don't even know when you're getting trolled.

great video kyle could you put the bbc link in desc?

by a single email or by the channels stealing my footage? @@interstellarsurfer

You missed censoring a slur on the message at 2:57 beginning with K

​@@RoyalTSC2what?

you can re-enable them with an add-on

They did it because one of their rewinds got a crazy amount of dislikes and I think some companies like EA and Activision were upset that everyone could see how much people hated their games

@@OllieWalesIt was also due to Biden getting downvoted to oblivion on RU-vid and the White House couldn’t have that of course 🙄

that is NOT the reason my man​@@redhothchilipeppers6299

They have chosen short term profit over longevity.

That must be infuriating

Its really stupid, and i find kind of weird, that when people file false claims and strikes they often win or cause the insane amount of trouble, but when someone files a legitamate claim for legitamate reasons, then its slow and unproductive.

Moving on, spray paint a stencil of your name on everything you own like Diresta does.

And if the platforms really wanted to fix the issue, they could easily do so by auto-registering and auto validating every video as part of the upload process. If their algorithm can track and auto block harsh language in the comments, they can make it track and auto flag plagiarism too.

Don't worry, I attribute my knowledge that gravity is a lie to YOU, not THEM! You get full credit in my newly awakened mind ;)

videos are much much complex to analyse than a sound. just a size-wise - compare size in Mb of a 3 minutes video file with 3 minutes sounds file. this is not a magic, after all, it all algorithms: first of all it costs them money to run such detection, so they won't bother unless forced to.

@@617au Actually, a piece of software to analyze the image to see that it's nearly the same is hardly different from a piece of software that does the same with sound. The file size here doesn't really matter at all. These programs also exist already. And in fact...they are already used. That's how big blockbuster movies are being protected. The differences are two. Analyzing video may take a fair bit more computing power (there are 'tricks' that can minimize this increase) being one. The fact that RU-vid just doesn't care is two. You see, for the software to find infringing content, it needs to know what content is being infringed on. For music, it's the music industry reaching out to RU-vid and providing them with the content to compare videos soundtracks with. Those are then added to the database and the AI looks for them. Movie companies sometimes also do it for their videos. But RU-vid does NOT do it for the videos uploaded onto it. That means that you content creators don't have their own videos added to the list of content that is to be protected. It's as simple as that. It's probably unfeasible technically to scan all of it with how many videos are released daily in the first place, but it could be done on a smaller scale, with parts of the videos of the more popular RU-vidr's at least and random bits and piece from anyone with at least a few thousandths of viewers.

It's because music industry is ruled by such insanely powerful and greedy Molochs that most people would just give up to them. Not really comparable to individual people getting their work stolen. Also Molochs abuse how easy it is to detect a song in a video while ignoring the context of how it is used. Money is power and they have a lot of money. Also RU-vid despite trying to milk as much money as possible from videos and subscribtions, they don't seem to hire any real human beings, and it feels like everything is operated by bots. If they cared in the slightest, we would never have an epidemic of cancer-inducing spam channels and videos that Salvadore Dali would consider masterpieces of surrealist art

AI will be used for bad more than good, unfortunately

Money

So sad but true

nuclear holocaust? FALL O-

It all boils down to capitalism and greed. Smaller independent creators just don’t have the resources to fight back at the scale that is needed.

or "ai" generated voices

And it harms genuine creators who make videos using the text-to-speech as their gimmick/an artistic choice, too.

Agreed

This is gonna destroy RU-vid in the long run, I think. I am so sick of those lazy AI channels that I am sure are completely operated by AI, or at least with very little help from real people.

Anymore, I find that to be a major turnoff. The moment I hear an AI generated voice, I'm 90% likely to X out/close out the video.

Lots of older folks fall for this stuff. I see it every day, it's really sad.

​@@Sammysapphiraya I know my dad use to be a computer programmer and builder back in 90s and early 2000s he was really nerdy and smart til he seen some fake astrophysics talking about things that won't or couldn't happen.

Also love your videos Kyle been watching you for years and you definitely help me understand my autism and science curiosity alot more then any science creator

Same here, my dad is convinced that all his illnesses are related to solar flares he heard about on these "science" channels...:(

I think it’s pretty easy to distinguish the good and the bad ones. Honestly the thumbnails & titles are dead give-aways.

Honestly, making people fall asleep might be the only positive effect they have created.

Switch to John Michael Godier! Thank me later!

The irony is that the channels we used to trust like National geographic and the History channel have become fake as well. They just make content for entertainment purposes now. It generates more revenue. The History channel is nothing but speculation and conspiracy theories and national geographic has become obsessed with little green aliens.

RU-vid may not be able to stop scammers and bots, but good to see that they know better than to try messing with the hair!

We all know you're actually trying to hide the secret sauce formula, which you accidentally left in the corner of the video.

The hair is safe, that's the most important part.

It would be a shame to blur those luscious locks

​@@badgercode Have you glanced the formula yet?

Yup. RU-vid is part of the problem

@@Fallout3131 Social media poses massive risks. Is there any organisation or movement actually proposing workable strategies to fix it? This scamming stuff is bad.. but worse, social media provides effective ways to interfere with democratic elections (eg bots funded by authoritarian nations and billionaires) and undermine free speech (because social media corporations now have a virtual monopoly on speech that they can censor invisibly since technically they are private platforms and not bound to free speech laws)

its all about the money. youtube makes money off these spam channels

Those are not real problems. Stop taking down science channels. Your logic: "if I get hurt, others must too"

@@spacekitt.n those are not spam channels

Instead, they make AN ENTIRE STEAL THIS COMMENT TO MAKE A VIDEO BUTTON.

It was an issue long before then, but I agree it has gotten worse since then.

Not true. RU-vid has had low effort videos for its entire history, not just recently.

​@@ehhhhhhhhhhbut you could see at a glance what videos were shit

My thumbs down button just so happens to be the same as the report button. Weird how that happens.

@@ehhhhhhhhhh they didn’t say those videos didn’t exist, just that it was easier to tell which ones were low quality

All of them are. They're literally pirating content and making money from it. There's way too many people trying to get past copyright measures by mirroring the videos they steal and putting obnoxious music over it. Things like TV shows and netflix series that they've obviously pirated and edited. Straight up ripped content from youtubers, podcasts, movies, etc. It's problematic for youtube in terms of rampant copyright infringement, too.

Everyone who does that shit is a complete sociopath. Hopefully they get what's coming to them.

It read like the speech that indian scam-caller held when he got return-scamed😂 All narcissistic and panicked hate-speech.

​@@tomd96just an addendum - this isn't piracy, this is plagiarism. Accessing content without paying is a completely different action (both factually and morally IMO) than passing others' work as your own.

Imagine being proud of producing garbage instead of quality content

It's not dying but changing

​@@XioJNit's definitely dying, as it's getting much closer to dead internet theory. We're experiencing the consequences of cooperate greed enabling this theory to thrive and the internet will eventually be essentially dead, run exclusively by bots and engagement farms for monetary gain and political power. Sure, many are fighting back and trying to change it's course off of death, but denying that it isn't dying in a way is inaccurate.

It's going to be wild when "calling out scammer" are made by scammers.

​@@totallydougie9386you think that doesn't happen already?😂

Soon we'll have scammers making AI scambaiting videos.

RU-vid is selling stolen goods. That is illegal.

@@totallydougie9386 "Hi, I'm Sanjeev with the Thick Accent and I totally live in Texas. Today I wanted to call out this Indian scammer...."

Why would they? These channels generate revenue for them

​@@ValTek_Armoryright and RU-vid is just a business

Well, on brand would be another adocalypse and punishing the normal creators and users instead of the guilty.

I bet the "NFT enthusiast" CEO, since a few years, is also a fan of all that making HIM more money.

You can't even block a channel anymore...

Absolute cancer is spot on. They're RU-vid's version of tiktok which is an even bigger cancer. And it infuriates me that good reputable channels participate in shorts and toks

Just hit the don't recommend channel button. The problem will be gone for you pretty quickly. Issue is, only for you. Not everyone .

​@@chrisholdread174The creators are almost forced into doing shorts here because RU-vid, the last time I read on it, requires it from creators to get their content promoted more.

And even worst when you search "how to get popular on youtube" right now, almost 90% of the tutorials showing on the top search results right now are about "hacking the algorithm with AI automated contents" which are so unfair

@@RickHowell89 It's not a requirement but it's a necessity if you want your content to be in front of anyone. Because shorts are 1 min max, you could "advertise" your channel for free and get lots of subs and views quickly which is the nature of these endlessly scrolling things. However, youtube meddled with it and made the push from shorts extremely high combined with the natural funneling that shorts do made shorts weighted extremely heavily. At this point it's basically channel suicide to not create shorts despite the audiences of certain channels saying no or not caring.

I don't let RU-vid keep my watch history. As a result, I get no shorts recommended to me. Subscriptions only.

@@hawkeye7527 I found a extension that hides the shorts tab and turns any short I do watch into a regular video. Highly recommend.

It's crazy because RU-vid shorts barely even make any money so all the mass produced garbage, even the ones with millions upon millions of views, have probably only made a couple thousand in total

@@daaaaaaannyThat’s not entirely true. Channels are heavily incentivized to create shorts to the point where smaller or mid size channels who cannot afford to churn out shorts are suffering.

@@daaaaaaanny They wouldn't do it if they didn't get a lot. Posting shorts also helps you getting higher rankings for your normal videos.

RU-vid is on their side. They generate hundreds of millions of views which in turn make them money. They will never take actions unless they are forced to do so. Given the vast scope of these operations this giant game of whack a mole. Even if entire channel gets taken down since these are made by ai, more can simply pop up.

We already have the BBC’s

Kyle and his mane looks glorious, and you could too, dear Anton. The hard part is getting past the part where you look in the mirror and hate yourself, or if it's too itchy: just push through this for the ultimate glory.

Antoooon ❤ I highly reccommend that scientific pursuit 😁

Hello wonderful person! I look forward to seeing your new styles in future videos!

Interesting point. Wonder if it was pointed in a court during one of Virals cases how would they react that real creators lost money because of spam and stolen content on those fake channels made yt money 🤔👍.

100% they are a business, creators can quabble within themselves they dont care like the gov lol. Make them lose money and its ez money xD

boycott youtube

Ah capitalism working as intended and misinformation is going around because of profits

​@@USSAnimeNCC-Capitalism is about competition. Considering how RU-vid became the most popular video site was the result of them being better than others, then more capitalism is actually the solution.

Interesting, do you have a link so we can watch this video ? It's Netherland scary to think that someone from Netherland could be at the same level as the people shown on Kyle video.

It's almost as if the system is so poorly designed that in practice it's useless regardless of who is in the right.

Channel Awesome has a lot to answer for with people's misunderstanding of fair use after their campaign a few years ago. It just muddies the entire conversation that's already murky enough since nothing has been tested in court yet

Anything made, hosted or narrated by SIMON WHISTLER should be reported as SPAM.

@@jetfirexx H3H3 lawsuit tested the waters and H3H3 won.

Yeah, there are a lot of creators out there who are well-meaning but don’t understand copyright and fair use nearly well enough.

Answer: RU-vid likes money.

The short answer is google not giving a single f*** about it as long it generates add revenue.

@@leandervr Like the guy in that e-mail said 2:56... He had some good points unfortunately (minus all the reducted swearing).

Exactly it’s so annoying I constantly block them. And they still come up!

Money

Hi, doc!

The man, the myth, the legend!

Hi, your channel is awesome!

One other aspect used by spammers and suspect channels is looping of content to keep people who aren't paying attention to keep watching. No amount of user complaints seems to be enough.

Yep , we have maybe a couple of years left before the internet is ruined by AI content.

To be honest, since i dunno maybe around 2017-2019, i don't even brows the net the same way. Google results are just shit and i can't find anything relevent except ads or just fake information. we've gone back to good ol internet pre-google where you needed to know the good site already and note them.

​@@krusher74"but AI is a tool" is the new "you're a FUDDer". I just realised. It's the same condescending and ignorant line for a technology that's only proven itself to be quite harmful and the scams for AI started up right as the nft saga finally died Except this time the people excited for its future just want to use it for easy creation, as if they'll be more approved than anyone else when everyone can make an animation with one prompt. Insecure crypto kiddies really will take a threat to everyone's jobs and the worth of creation just to feel special for 5 seconds

"A Lie can travel the world in the time it takes the Truth to put it's shoes on."

I’m already there for the most part. I only have a few creators and websites I still trust.

That literally makes channels and videos almost unaccesable unless you get really lucky or specifically look for them which is impossible if you don't know they exist. That is craziness and renders the entire platform broken doesn't it? More need to know this and hopefully change it.

Huh, no wonder i have felt the search is absolute ass

It's so annoying. I don't want recommendations, I want what I effing searched for.

Wow, this explains soooo much. I'll search "bonsai technique" videos for my plants and get about 12 videos related to that search, but then 13 videos and beyond it'll be stuff like "huge pimple popping!" And I'm just like, ".....no. No, that is not what I searched for at all and not what I want to see. Why is this here?" It now makes sense why that dumb shit keeps happening. Thank you.

I'm tired of all this algorithm bs. I want what I searched for. I want to watch who I'm subscribed to. I don't care about all the TikTok slop that's being reposted here. If I'm looking up something specific, I don't want recommended videos from my watch history. Can we also stop recommending the same 20 videos over and over again? I got tired of watching them the third time.

Content thief farms can dodge very justified copyright claims and rich people (mostly companies) can copyright claim any video that says anything remotely negative about them.

Abused both ways? Which both ways? A legit youtuber is not abusing the system to try and take down scammers that steal their content.

@@sharimeline3077 they're talking about all the deliberately false copystrikes against people to silence them

RU-vid - owned by google (who is much more evil than you think) only cares about Money. They will NEVER take ANY responsibility if they can help it

If youtube was liable then site would shut down as well as all other sites that host content. The reason why hosting sites can work is exactly because they are not liable for what users post. Copyright strike system is their way of automating a federal requirement.

It’s awful. There should also be an option that people can click ‘copy content’ and allow us to put the original link in the report button.

didn't you release like a 40 minute misinformation video about autism after being heavily criticized for a 30 minute misinformation video about trans people?

You legit monetize the research, lives and creativity of others. That’s what RU-vid as a whole is. Hypocrite…

@@joshuapatrick682 That is completely different. Sabine went to school, performed experiments, and paid her dues. THESE PEOPLE DID NOT, and neither did you. You're in a fallacy.

Aren't you the scientist who said that men can get pregnant? 😂🤡

Unfortunately, once you put anything online,it is easy to copy it, and misuse it. Many immoral people in the world, and that's not changing

true. there are actual softcore hentai on ytkids app

Yeah science is just one facet, the far right anti-science conspiracy holes are dangerously easy to fall into due to how powerful the algorithm is.

​@@k0bra3eak40Far right? You sound like a far left 😅

@@JohnSmith-fl6qd if you genuinely think the far right (up to and including neo-Nazis) don't have a presence on yt then you're either blind or too far down the pipeline to recognize it

@@JohnSmith-fl6qd Yeah, far right! It is pretty much fact now that the vast majority of conspiracy theories, from flat-earth to anti-vax is pretty much 99% full of americans who are conservatives/far-right.

If RU-vid only cares about the money, then maybe it's time to go after the advertising that's shown alongside these videos. If enough companies pull their advertising, it might make a difference.🤷‍♂️

I look back on the era of RU-vid where people like H3H3 made copyright strikes less serious for channels and cringe at all the damage it did

Right

@@warrensteel9954 While this is a solution, I'd like to remind you of Elsagate. If you don't know what that was, there's plenty of videos explaining it, but the aftermath of it are still felt to this day, like the infamous yellow dollar sign. Tons of creators, not just bad actors, were and still are affected. So let me ask you this. If an adpocalypse 5.0 happened (And yes, there have been 4 so far, with the recent being in 2019) and the effects of this adpocalypse prevented creators like Kylie from talking about certain subjects because they need an abundance of caution, would that be a tradeoff you'd be willing to accept? Because like it or not, there are videos people simply won't make because it's a risk, even if the video would classify as news.

Given they're parent company's pro slavery stance, it's not surprising that they'd support similar minded channels

If they don't steal footage, they have just as much right to exist as creepypasta channels or any other kind of fiction.

They are not spammers.

720,000 hours (82 years) of video are uploaded every day to RU-vid. you think they can police that? maybe AI will in the future.

​@@krusher74 huh despite its faults the system is doing good when policing that much contebt

@@krusher74 Doesn't matter. They have a platform they have to look after. Instead of doing all the useless updates they do (which admittedly have slowed down and improved since 2020, it was REALLY bad before that) they should focus in involving the staff more. Volunteering programs with benefits? Something? Something that doesn't rely on current implementation of AI that is 110% of the time failing at recognizing something like fair use content? To me it seems they're not doing the bare minimum sometimes, cause every time I hear about a copyright problem RU-vid seems to never take the right action, it always has to blow up and go public. You'd think at least a small percentage of such issues would be solved before the creator(s) have to address it publicly because nobody at RU-vid is taking a look despite action taking place once the problem becomes loud enough. Excuse them all you want, but at the end of the day it's a platform that is failing at keeping its users safe every way I look. And to mention this too, the one time I had an issue with one of my videos and an impersonating scumbag that's hitting more people than me, I had no choice but to eat up the strikes because I'm not big enough for them to care and I don't have the power to contact them via Twitter and be noticed. I also lack any connection to an actual person working at RU-vid, so no luck for me, if someone wants me removed I will be because RU-vid doesn't work. Maybe the system shouldn't rely on both sides being nice, reasonable people that can solve their problems with talking, because no one fucking is and more often than not one side won't change its mind no matter what because they're gaining something else by being malicious. The problem and what I'm asking isn't even related to the human factor, the system they have in place is deeply and obviously flawed but they're never taking steps to improve on it. So like the original commenter said, yeah, it's so bad only the bad actors win. Source: any video on the topic ever. Has nothing to do with the volume of content and everything to do with the lazy, slow crawl in improving anything that has become the staple of this platform.

​@@menjolno They are

Fr

The Joe Rogan scam going around with that “$6,500 subsidy you didn’t hear about” bull. It’s on TikTok, X, Instagram l, fucking everywhere

​@@wrench5692half of RU-vid ads are literally scams. Some dude trying to sell you a course on how to make tens of per week by creating some AI RU-vid channel and a few hundred people subscribe. Others are selling real estate fake deals or some tutorial about making millions from Amazon by working 1 hour a week.

Just like AOL and kiddie porn a couple of decades ago -- RU-vid profits from this behavior. I don't think that there is a government agency that has the resources to take this on. Perhaps some government needs to profit from convictions...

Remember when RU-vid banned hundreds of right leaning RU-vidrs during the Adpocalypse because the fascist corporations didn't want to be associated with people who told uncomfortable truths, but now NOBODY in charge at RU-vid has any problem whatsoever with 90% of ads being AI generated scams

Not true, RU-vid put a blind eye on the infrigment of big corporation content as much as for small individuals content.

yeah its a common problem what youtube does to prevent it and its absolutely nothing

It also gets abused by groups like those featured in this video. They usually grow, become more aggressive, use bad automation and begin striking creators working well within the guidelines of fair use. You can literally hear the distain in both voices when they discussed any use of footage. That’s equally pathetic as the straight thief’s and plagiarizers.

I think of it like an ecosystem & it's evolving. These scammers are evolving to prey on those they think of as weaker than they are. It's disgusting & repulsive. We just have to evolve ways to combat them.

The RU-vid copyright striking system is entirely fucked up and needs to be reworked

OMG, I love your channel!!!

Two hours?!? I reckon it would take me two weeks. At least. Awesome work.

@@alexc4300 I feel like this would depend a lot based on what you are making a video on. Something easy to research and find, but not having source in a nicely formatted video. Or something that barely has any sources, and you have to actually start hunting down experts in the field.

I’m doing a PhD in public health, specially health literacy/health communication, and it can take me 2 hours just to properly review one research paper!

@@pewpin1039 I feel that to be able to make a truly useful video, I’d have to almost become an expert on the subject, at least enough to talk coherently for ten minutes. Otherwise you’re in danger of rehashing others’ content and not adding anything to the sum of knowledge. I love content creators who, when you watch the video, you either think, “I didn’t know that,” or better, “it never occurred to me to think of space as the thing that was moving.” ;-)

Yes, I am not trying to single out youtube because all the platforms similar. The speed in which artists are being eliminated is mind blowing.

tiktok is just toxic as a whole

TikTok is for morons, it is exactly what is wrong with today's society...

Why are you in support of DMCA? tik tok good

Capitalism😊

For what it's worth, Marx wasn't against capitalism. He saw it as a necessary step in the transition between feudalism and socialism, and that capitalism will eventually devour itself and give away to a more egalitarian system. Power in the hands of the rich is an aristocracy, but it's *still* a fundamental widening of power away from the centrally imbued monarchies. The next step, according to Marx, is to then make systems that distribute that power even further towards the masses of workers rather than the capital investors. Let the capitalists build the new society, says Marx, and eventually they will run it so badly the people will beg for socialists to take it over and run it better. (This is the fundamental problem of the Bolsheviks and Maoism - notice how much better the CCP became at increasing quality of life by allowing some limited forms of capitalism, after Mao's disastrous attempts to turn an unindustrialised economy into a fully industrialised *and* socialised economy)

​@@hieronymusbutts7349in other words, communism is an parasite that can't build anything of its own, and has to steal/replace an premium country, "we suck at country building, so let us steal the hard work of others" and communim intrinsically means massacre, communist are very willing to kill people who don't belive In the nonsense

​@@menjolnowhich youre engaging with, further encouraging the algo to show more Kyle Hill. Great idea.😂

That's why I turned my history off. Just because I look at one or two videos on something doesn't mean I want to be inundated by it. I looked at a couple of music videos in incognito mode not signed in and that's almost all I see on the feed now, because it's using my IP address as a tracker.

@@sparella kyle hill bad

@astatalan i see you're one of the scammer. How about you go and make meaningfull videos and not scam bs

It's happening to every kind of channel that has any kind of following. You name it, any popular subject, and tons of channels are having their content stolen in that genre. So depressing.

And in the case of music youtubers, they will get immediately blasted with copyright strikes when they use popular music to illustrate an example. The system is so broken.

@@strayingwill Humans are incredible beings. Something will start out with good intentions by humans, and as it grows, it slowly gets polluted and destroyed by other humans looking to exploit and push the boundaries. It happens to almost anything that makes money. Like Christopher Hitchen's last words, 'Capitalism, downfall'. Problem is, I don't think humans have really got started on this yet. It's going to get much much worse.

I tend to just upload dashcam footage from my bike rides. Still, I did have a copyright incident when I recognised a piece of my footage on twitter... I was like "wtaf". Turned out it had been downloaded and sent to a driving instruction channel, which users viewer clips. Obviously there is a fair use argument, but not without attribution! But it was resolved amicably.

When I shop for things I do a search for the image to see how many sites are using the same photo and then research to figure out the real vendor. It shouldn't be so hard to not get scammed.

it´s happening a lot on fb, specially with AI generated ""products""

it happens to people doing limited edition/limited drop plushies too. it happened to The Click, where you have all of these companies making knock-off plushies (that are obviously knock-offs), they get reported, get shut down for a while, then they pop up again under a different name. he talked about it on a previous livestream of him playing Fall Guys, and he was like, "WTF?" man, there are so many people who are looking to make a quick buck off of someone else's hard work. it sucks! 😮‍💨

I've had an entire report stolen and copypasted in large part, that someone used to file a permit application. I worked for the first owner who got a permit, but then died so it was sold on to that guy, who just copied it and filed it himself. The guy fell through when the civil servant who had to judge it recognized my work and e-mailed with a question about 'my new project' and admonishing me for not filing it through my usual business account.

It's humans. While being a fairly advanced life form with opposable thumbs etc, we're also unbelievably sneaky, lazy, and looking to exploit any situation. Essentially, we're kind of horrible.

What you describe as "the Dunning-Kruger effect for talent" is more properly called the Dunning-Kruger effect. It's most often used in reference to knowledge/intelligence, but it's applicable to *ANY* activity which you can learn to be skilled at. The original study included social skills, and follow-up studies have covered vast swathes of human activity and consistently found similar patterns. This is true across competitive videogames, sporting, social and acedemic pursuits, business management, and vast amounts of unrelated skillsets. If you're really good at something, you probably undervalue your expertise. If you're terrible at it but have moderate experience or minimal training, you probably view yourself as being well above average.

Narcissism and appealing to emotional leniency

I used to get scam calls all the time (before caller ID was a thing). I'd get so annoyed with them and just hang up. Once a guy CALLED ME BACK all incensed that I had hung up on him. It's like I know you're a scammer, YOU knw you're a scammer, but if you call the out on it, they get so offended. I had one guy threaten to kill me because I refused to give him money or personal info. Basically, psychopath behaviour.

a lot of scammers have no other option, especially those employed in low-income countries, so spam calling may be their only current form of income. I'm not defending the guys in the video, but I think there is a better way to talk about this rather than calling people psychopaths.

@@zammmerjammer narcissistic sociopath. psychopaths wouldnt care less

Yeah, I remember back in the day amateur artists constantly had their art stolen to use for corporate merchandise, or to advertise a site, an aggregator (like Pinterest..those pictures don't serve the original uploader), even big time movies, all because whoever got assigned the task for a graphic decided your amateur work was public domain they could use. Not to mention Amazon, which used to be the go to marketplace, but now everybody knows so many sellers provide false pictures of legit products, provide a few to get good reviews, then switch to a ripoff product. Eventually the reviews catch up and note that the product sent is NOT what is listed, but Amazon has gotten weirdly hostile to bad reviews. So now you are better off finding a product's home page after finding it on Amazon, then buying it off Amazon.

yup, its a process designed to barely work, to not be completely pummeled in court by all the main publishers (the bread winners) being scammed, all other actors have to take the dead line until some of them becomes full goku and developed enough critical mass to be able to topple over and make the card castle rumble. it vaguely resembles the line we have here to complain to a public service or to a actual politician doing shady stuff. the channel is there, but god knows what waves do you need to overcome to reach the other side

stop farming likes. don't make up stories. also, there are no spam channels

Even scarier is the current set up from RU-vid is far better than it used to be. The old set up was YT was the messenger delivering the notice, taking the content down as ordered and take a big step back to let you fight it out on your own regardless of how obvious an abuse of DMCA the claim could be. RU-vids own system is Content ID and that was rushed into place in order to stop DMCA's flying around nuking the entire platform as well as potentially clogging courts with the sheer volume of claims that was feared would end up coming into play. It's the non nuclear option BUT it's still heavily skewed in the claimants favour on a "guilty until proven innocent" and to make things even more hilarious, the party that decides if an appeal is upheld or refused is the claimant. There's an entire cottage industry built up around it. Tbf though back in the day when the DMCA hit the fan it was either bend over and cooperate fully or be squished like a bug and wiped off the face of the internet. Even as big as YT are now, they piss off the labels and studios again they could still be squished like an annoying bug.

I'm going to guess Etsy, based on the rampant trademark abuse that is on the site 😅

@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat its because the inethical content farms generate ad revenue. Its purely motivated by greed.

the literal unseen warrior, doing the good fight to block the real horde on this hell

It's better when copyright protects people like the weather chaser instead of being weaponized by UMG or Sony.

It is because DRM marketing. There are no spam channels.

They may be arguably doing good this time. But don’t forget that they also go after and crush small legitimate creators all the time at the behest of megacorps too. These DRM companies are not heroes, they’re not even good guys. They’re just attacking someone you don’t like right now.

Remember these words when they inevitably turn against legitimate, fair-use content... Supporting any sort of DRM technology/company because there are content thieves and scammers is like supporting nuclear weapon proliferation because there are countries like the North Korea or Turkmenistan... Be careful what you wish for!

Keep in mind that most of them are bot subscriptions

​@@JamesTDG ahh so they get a higher real viewer count by rigging the system

Hell not even just fake, but all the ones that blow the littlest discoveries out of proportion. Half the Elon Musk news channels. Matt Farrell.

Those are not fake. Leave science channels alone

One aspect of fair use as a copyright defense definitely seems to be "in good faith" as well as "used in a form that promotes criticism, critique or elevates the original content in a socially or culturally significant way". That is also not the exact legalese, yet it is decent laymans terminology to explain atleast the spirit of the legality.

​@@menjolno...😂 how many do you run? Is this "Mystery History"? I find your comment highly compelling.

@@besticudcumupwith202 I don't run any. I don't need to run any to defend it

And even more dangerous, when accidentally clicked, some of those ads redirects the viewer to an info stealer website

Use add block, it's so much better without all the scams RU-vid always promotes.

or the dump a bottle of titos in your vehicles gas tank to get free gas lmfao. "do this simple trick to get free gas for life!"

RU-vid doesn't care entirely, because they make money from the scammers action and the scammers feed the algorithm ☝🏾

This is an example of free market capitalism just so you're aware.

​@@betawolfhdfor better or worse

@@betawolfhdoh definitely, and I'm all for it, I think my criticism of it is mainly that these sellers aren't playing fair, they break the terms, and generally engage in what amounts to consumer fraud. They claim the items are handmade, use fake identities, and outright lie about the quality of materials and where they are made. I'd say that's clearly not just fair competition. A lot of these sellers are essentially common criminals who are just under the radar of the law. I'm sure you would be furious if you purchased something for $300 that actually cost ¢50 to make...

@@russellgtw I find it more upsetting that a few people can own the world, charge us for being in it, pay us a fraction of a percent of the product of our output in compensation, forcing us to have children and spend 10s to 100s of thousands of dollars for mediocre health standards. They've also changed basic needs such as housing, food and water to provide investment value over societal growth value. Regulations are the only to have capitalism

@@betawolfhd agreed, I also find these things to be worse, I myself make handmade goods as the only means of income, the system we live under makes the difficulty I face even worse.

The im not interested button sadly barely works, the channels keep popping from what i saw

​@@Original_Username0Yep same here

Anything made, hosted or narrated by SIMON WHISTLER should be reported as SPAM.

@@toolbaggers bro is an actual hate campaign lol

@@Original_Username0 it works, they're just always different channels. There are hundreds of them at all times

It's basically catering to entities without morals. If Evil Inc. is doing the copyright claiming with their disposable lawyers, RU-vid is there to help them. If Evil Inc. is doing the theft with their proxies and fake accounts, RU-vid is there to help them again.

thisss

I have seen cases where those people would actually try and remove watermarking to use the content. Its insane sometimes.

Make sure to put your water mark dead center. That way they can't remove it without making it basically useless.

Crazy to think they stole Pecos Hank's voice.

I constantly see the stolen content and I try to notify the owners. It’s one thing to use with permission, but to just take from the people who risk their lives to get that footage is just shitty.

Anything made, hosted or narrated by SIMON WHISTLER should be reported as SPAM.

He is bringing awareness. Nothing will happen if you keep it at that

Thank goodness the dislike button shows us if it's a legit video. Oh wait...

It's actually making youtube unusable as a platform

Hbomber guy only cares when his side gets hurt

@@Wilhelm4131 the man has made multiple videos over an hour long about topics he thinks are important of games he likes. I think you're confusing a person calling out an issue they see with selfishness

​@@Wilhelm4131 What do you mean, "His side?" Are you mad about him calling out leftwing channels for stealing content?

@@eyesofthecervino3366 He's mad that Hbomb is left wing and makes fun of right wing reactionaries.

@@hedgehog3180 Yeah, I know. The hypocrisy of it bugs me. People acting like they're standing for freedom of speech, freedom to make edgy jokes, freedom to criticize people they disagree with, but then kicking their heels pitching a fit and melting in their own tears when they encounter the slightest bit of criticism themselves. I used to watch Internet Historian. I've had bad experiences with pretty conformist in-groups and bad relationships, having to walk on eggshells around people, so I think that un-walking-on-eggshells-edness really felt safe and attractive to me -- and now I'm confronted with the possibility this was just another insular, self-policing in-group you can't criticize and am pretty bummed out about it. It's a lesson learned, I guess.
