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.
Hosting a peertube instance would be almost nothing I comparison to this. It'd just be a duplicate of all uploaded videos at worst, which he's storing many times that amount of raw footage anyway. They probably wouldn't even notice the overhead.

They can platform whoever the hell they damn want! #cancelcancelculture #cancelthewokemob

Or better yet PeerTube.
I don't know if I'm stupid or not but I tried going to peertube and I couldn't for the life of my understand what I was looking at. It just seemed like a vague soup of instances with no continuity or ability to know what I was looking at. Maybe I accessed it wrong but I didn't fully get it.

Every substantial youtube channel should be hosting and backing up to a self-hosted, owned, peertube.
With many, many servers, otherwise things would go down fast on each new video release. And each server having a fuckton of bandwidth, too. That's not free.

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.

At the end of the day he's running a business and has had lots of financial success with this type of "product," so it makes sense to focus your efforts on said product going forward.
I like that he's exposing corruption, but question his motivations and use of clickbait. I'm not really passing judgement on him either way and things don't always have to be black and white, "good" or "bad."
Do you have something to add? Asking if my stated opinion is "what I think" in three different ways isn't really contributing much to the conversation.
No offense, but Questioning the use of clickbait on youtube is such an idiotic take, clickbait thumbnails and titles make double percentage difference in terms of viewership and thus income for the video. These people employ others, not using clickbait would be a disservice to the employees who depend on this job for their livelihood as a business owner you have a fiduciary duty to the best you can and take care of your employees.

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.
I don't think it's clickbait at all. He's in real danger of being silenced. With this latest project he reached into a massive wasp nest for sure, but I admire his efforts to speak up in cases like this.
And I haven't found any bias in his content in general. He's pretty transparent about his methodologies.

GN is literally a sizable business, it absolutely is.
If you are running a business then you should either toe the line with your platform provider or make sure you have alternatives in place to move away from them if you value full creative control.

What do you want people to buy food with. Welfare checks lol? Where would they get money to buy stuff for testing. They have an acoustic chamber that's fairly expensive.
Revenue and professional channels are intimately linked and removing the revenue stream would open them up to bought reviews like heiLTT.
Either way the creative control is compromised, just in different ways.

That was my first thought as well. As he's touching into these sort of topics, where he has to defend himself against companies with the greatest capital in the world, he won't stand a chance to survive on these traditional platforms. He definitely needs to launch a PeerTube instance.
But the thing is, with this size of a channel, it would cost a lot of money to maintain it.

This extends to the animation review community and also the art and craft communities too given Google will probably flag those channels as underage with their AI at some point. Like, people like Saberspark, for example, also need to mirror to Odysee or PeerTube before their accounts get flagged, if not moving away from YT outright.
Even someone like PhantomStrider would benefit from doing that as well, and tbh, with his public disdain for big social media lately, Odysee or PeerTube would probably be a breath of fresh air for him.

Title is clickbait, because a sentence like that without context is alarmist.
It's not wrong, it's mentioned and explained in the video, byt it's still clickbait.
The story here is Bloomberg fuckery and the copyright strike, not the imminent channel deletion.

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.
Totally agree. This is corpo, government doing stuff because they can, disregarding law they would have you uphold because you're beneath them.
Corruption. Plain and simple.

Sometimes it ain't about the revenue stream.
It is if you are trying to fulfil the requirements from 2 comments above.

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.

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.

It’s clickbait.
That is an ignorant knee jerk claim.
As I wrote in a previous response:

How is that an idiotic take? I watch a ton of YouTube and none of the channels I regularly watch rely on clickbait to push their videos. You could use this same argument to justify it anywhere including 'regular' journalism meaning there is no example where clickbait is unacceptable using this logic.

He should be on PeerTube, anyways.

3 dmca/copyright strikes on a channel and yt deletes you. It was mentioned near the beginning of the video.
Right but Bloomberg only did it once, right? Or are they talking about "in general"?
Why is this being downvoted? I'm genuinely asking questions
