Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus
-
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.
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

To the contrary, they massively inflate whatever they can find that will gather clicks.

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.
without context? context is in the video. or do you want titles that span 4 lines with 3 sentences?
-
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
.
It's clickbait.

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.
its fine if its first and foremost a backup, and not a public platform. then you don't need the bandwidth. then they can open it up when google deleted their channel. they still need to figure out the capacity issues, but at least the content was not lost.

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.
As someone who worked for years in video transcoding, archiving, streaming, and content management in general: there are absolutely ways to do this efficiently in a self hosted context. You could absolutely build a system that fits your bespoke needs in all of these categories.

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.
there is revenue stream. liberapay is integrated, get your viewers to subscribe through there. they can donate any amount, literally.
then its also common that content creators cooperate with companies, mostly tech companies, to advertise their products. that can still be done on peertube. what they can't anymore is to show generic ads for everyone every few minutes.
-
I don't have an "anchor point" other than what's what's fair and respectful of your customers. "We're going to collect as much data about you as we can to sell to advertisers" is neither.

This post did not contain any content.
While The title of the video is absolutely one of sensationalism, It's not out of the question as two more strikes could indeed delete a channel...

Examples?

Source of attention? By flying to another country and getting access to areas people never even knew? Lol wtf are you on about?

No, just be honest. "Bloomberg fradulent copyright strike on our black market documentary".
Still one sentence.
I use a Firefox extension called Dearrow because of this understandable, but unfortunate trend.

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 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
I don’t watch his channel
You could have stopped your comment right there, because what followed was nothing of value.

Nah. He’d be better off on floatplane. I wonder why he isn’t…
-
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.
In a rising tide of enshittification we all have to find higher, cleaner ground. Standing on a hill that seems to be above the shit for awhile is an ok strategy even if that hill is owned by someone else and might sink into the shit eventually. It’s working for now and it’s better than being in the shit. Not everyone can build their own hill, at least not right away.

I do not understand why creators feel the need to be exclusively on one platform. Simply crosspost the videos.
$$$ that's why. YouTube gives the greatest return. If they post to multiple platforms, not only is it more work, but they then also subtract from the number of views they get on YouTube. It's all about the $$$.

In their documentary GamersNexus stated that they would air it without advertisements if a certain treshold of funding was reached. I imagine Patreon, their store and other sources make GamersNexus more money than Youtube advertisement. And it is certainly not their only source.

Lemmy simps really hard for gamers nexus, even though they're just a drama channel at this point.
