I’ve been watching him since I think 2020. He made some of the best tech content of YouTube and I’ve never seen another individual have more knowledge of Windows internals than him. He was accused by Youtube in the past many times for spreading viruses in the description of some of his videos.
This time it was a copyright violation of some random Japanese channel, with no relation to his channel. It is very possible this error was made by the new AI YouTube copyright detection bots.
Please help spread this. RIP Enderman 2016-2025
UPDATE: The channel is back up again.

So. I got my Facebook profile back after a year. Because I remembered my customer URL. I paid for a check mark and they reactivated it after I paid for the extended support service. If you’ve lost your Facebook in the past. Definitely try it out. I made a mean joke about fighting some confederate profile calling for a civil war. I told them if they tried fighting the USA. I would gladly meet them in the field of battle and take care of business. Whoooooopsie. Don’t feed the Ai bots. Learned my lesson.

Loops is for Tiktok esque short form videos. PeerTube is more like YT in terms of content form.
Why loops? Long videos aren’t what loops is for.
Yeah, he should go to Looooooooooooooooooooooooops
Just deleting useful information.
He will probably be back in a few days.
ai has lots of problems, but lack of accountability is one of the big ones
I don’t know if that is a problem. If a human does dumb things he will be fired. If a computer/algorithm /Ai does it, it will be removed.
I think it has more to do with human costs (salary) vs the cost of brand damage (youtube).
They spent billions of dollars to develop and train the AIs that they use. They’re not going to remove it for fucking up someone’s YouTube channel.
They wouldn’t remove it even if it caused someone’s death (which it probably has considering that they have been shown to be very bad at therapy and that people go to them for therapy).
“Therefore a computer is ideally suited to making management decisions”
More like…AI’s primary purpose is to provide an unaccountable excuse to fire people and keep wages down.
Idk man, I can nuke an LLM model I deployed pretty easy, but it’s pretty hard to hold C-suite types accountable unless you’ve got a green hat.
?
This is Google, they’ve been unaccountable for 2 decades.
i doubt anyone would be held accountable at youtube/ youtube itself really even if it were not AI…
So who’s the YouTube replacement. Those guys are doing a good job at making people upset. Big tech needs to get taken down a few notches.
closest we got is Peertube.
YouTube’s replacement would have to come from Amazon, Microsoft or Oracle. Maybe Netflix - they use AWS for their backend, but have their own CDN.
And that’s just to compete on a technical level with the content distribution network. There’s also the whole issue of fighting a long time incumbent.
Peertube is neat, but it will never compete with YouTube.
Ai froze an important work excel sheet saying it violated tos. It was an EXCEL sheet SHARED at work BY work… Eventually it came back on… Ai sucks
Encourage them to switch to Onlyoffice
That is the only real solution. Get people on board one by one.
Meet them where they are at
important work Excel sheet
Hopefully your boss understands why they shouldn’t rely on MS software as a result
youre funny
It was a Google sheet. We have Google suite through Okta.
Excel has AI now?
Haven’t seen it on whatever version I use.
Google sheets
Yeah, it’s useless as it doesn’t know how tonuse excel functions, so it just Google’s the answer and gives you whatever came back. It might be the right function, but if it is, it’s a tossup
This is too insane to leave out details! What happened???
Edit: I know why there’s no reply, it’s because this did not happen
Time to move on to the fediverse.
Serious question, not trolling.
Where can I upload? Is there something that doesn’t ride on the backbone of YT, etc?
I’ve been putting up useful videos for years, I’ve never advertised a thing, I don’t care if I make money. Just want to share my ideas. I’ve deleted 10 videos for every one I still have up. I trim stuff I don’t care about any more.
There’s loops maybe?
PeerTube
Unless I misunderstanding, perhaps you could inform me?
But doesn’t an individual have to set up an instance of their own peet tube and then host for you? So I would be looking at maybe 8 view per year?
No, it’s like Lemmy, you sign up to an instance and can post on it, and your channel is visible on the whole federated network.
And if PeerTube grows, the “Peer” aspect will be very significant. Basically it’s a torrent and the instance is always seeding, and while other users are watching, you will be sending them data and recieving data from them, lightening load on the instance. It’s a simple and clever system. You can turn the torrent feature off in case you need to hide your IP address.
Thank you for a most excellent explanation, you have explained every question I had in one
I have a feeling that the YouTube apocalypse will be much harder to watch (as in “more sad/unpleasant”) than the Reddit apocalypse.
Antitrust Google. Fork YouTube as part of it. All existing content must be preserved. Remove YouTube’s ability to sell licensed content (cable TV channels, music, on demand). YouTube can then be purchased or spun off as a “YOU Tube” again - content made by people for people. Brand saved, community focused. Monetization heavily regulated (governance or internal governance, but just make it a requirement.)
Or just let it burn and replace it with something else. Video’s just super-expensive to host and provide, probably by design to keep others out of the market.
Coming back to reality, it’s not going to happen.
Yeah. Reddit is technologically very bland. It’s “easy” to make a Reddit clone - the community is what makes it tick. But YouTube needs crazy levels of infrastructure to provide the full experience that it does. When Reddit collapses there’s places to migrate to. But if YouTube collapses it’s just a loss.
Not to mention you can fit more Reddit on a 1TB hard drive than YouTube, which makes it much easier to exfiltrate content.
On the other hand, maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…
Better start mirroring content now
It already happens
maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…
It won’t. Look at Mastodon vs Bluesky and Threads. Mastodon already existed, already worked well, had more features and was federated. People still chose Bluesky, which is just Twitter 2.0 owned by the same corporate douchebags.
People CRAVE the system.
Every cycle of enshittification sends more people looking for alternatives. Remember the rebirth of “piracy” which streaming had all but killed for the most normal normies? People crave the system, but it’s possible they’ll slowly come around. Will it be fast enough. That’s for us to find out. I gently encourage people to think about more than just tomorrow because that short term proprietary bullcrap isn’t worth it in the long term. Definitely hear you though and it does feel that uphill sometimes.
You say that like that’s actually true.
The real reason that people go to bluesky over Mastodon has nothing to do with “The System™”, it’s because the Mastodon onboarding process is incomprehendibly awful. It’s far worse than Lemmy, which itself is pretty terrible. The refusal to introduce an algorithm isn’t pro-consumer it’s just hostile to the non-terminally online. If a service isn’t easy to use it won’t be used. This isn’t a revolutionary concept.
Waiting for my account to be approved on awoo.chat took a good week and a half, but I guess it’s on me for trying to find an instance that caters to me (SFW-preferring furry)
Still waiting for a way to see other people’s posts when now one follows them yet
The main bluesky feed is also chronological, however, it has a desperate discover feed which is algorithmic (I think mastodon might have that as an option now?)
Oh sure! People don’t crave the system, Mastodon is just bad!
Hey, what’s the non-corporate alternative to a service that took over the world with consumers then? I mean, if the system is not the problem and people just hate Mastodon in particular, I’m sure you’ll have plenty of examples to share.
Yeah bluesky, news flash, most people don’t care about corporations they just want a product that isn’t a headache to use. The fact that you’re responding to that knowledge with hostility rather than trying to address the problem is exactly the attitude Mastodon has, which is exactly why no one uses it
Idiot tech bros assuming that the rest of the population should have to wade through molasses, just because it’s how they like it, and everyone else is just stupid for refusing to deal with it.
So you can’t provide any examples? Got it.
People don’t crave the system, they rather come to places that are advertised to them.
What they crave is:
- Easy onboarding without figuring out what is an “instance” (a concept entirely unknown to them), and which instances are good vs bad for them;
- A trusted place that won’t become unavailable or buggy because an admin is performing an update or screwed something up or decided they don’t want to do this anymore;
- Some sort of algorithm to filter out crap out of their feed (not having any algorithm is often not good);
- Having their favorite creators and friends on the platform (which, again, boils out to advertising for a large part);
etc.
Fediverse as a whole and Mastodon in particular is yet to answer to a lot of these challenges.
But in either case there’s massive value in the existing content that would be lost.
I’m sure some of those creators will try to take their content other places
Looks like the great purge of knowledge has begun… A long, long time ago, and now we’re knee deep in it.
There is so much link rot, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the content on the internet has now vanished or become inaccessible
on youtube? mostly astroturfed by right wing content and comments about woke-ism, pseudoscience, plus influencers that are POS behind the scenes. while burying actual smaller content creators to the point of oblivion, i asian ytoubers i used to followed are rightfully buried for turning magaty during the pandemcic, these are the people they shouldved buried.
Looks like it’s up again. https://youtube.com/@andrewman
I think the one that was blocked was https://www.youtube.com/@Endermanch (but they’re both up now).
There is a video on the main channel were he talks about his terminated second channel, Andrew. https://youtu.be/v32gdnhAlFI
Never heard about him

Loses*
Sorry, fixed
Its amazing how much of a problem lose vs loose has become lately. But yes, OP should change it to “loses.”
The thing I don’t get is how often are people using “looses” that it becomes possible to mix it up? I don’t think I have ever used that word in 40 years.
My guess is that because English is such a mish-mash of other languages and has a lot of contradictory rules, the double-o in loose is how most people would guess the way to spell the “o” sound in lose. To people who haven’t been told otherwise, lose probably sounds similar to hose or dose in their heads and “oo” looks more correct despite being wrong.
In the wise words of Sugi: “Not why; memorize”
For all intensive purposes, we have become too lose with txt quality, and it effects my mental health.
for all intents and purposes*
lol
Thanks for the inlitenment!
Edit/tl;dr: there are other intentional abuses of grammar in that comment you corrected, can you spot them?
it’s funny how they also recently started to block all adblockers by not even loading videos at all just a day into US elections…
Firefox w/ uBlock Origin is still fine.
You’re right but I’m a LibreWolf guy myself. Firefox has been making too many shitty decisions (AI Integration things) for my liking.
uBlock works just fine for librewolf BTW.
Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser and suddenly went from an efficient browser to dogshit tier right next to edge. If I need to about: config AND look up how to disable some garbage a dev shoehorned in… I’ll spend that time downloading a browser that doesnt forget its only job is to render the thing I clicked on as quickly and efficiently as possible. If I want something more I’ll use an add-on.
It suure does work a charm.
FF doesnt have money, when google turned off the tap. i assume they are introducing AI now, because google wants that data for AI as well, they might have come to angreement that is not privy to the public.
Sure. That’s fine. Get paid. Devs need to eat (I sure do.)
Did it have to be opt out? Did some of the settings need to be buried in about: config? Its not even remotely a shock to any internet denizen that AI isn’t openly loved by all. Put simply they opted to act first and apologise later. Actions have consequences. They likely had meetings and decided the money was worth upsetting people like me who would react negatively. I’m simply fulfilling my part of the equation.
They earned my trust and patronage by being more secure and faster - and principally “less evil” than the other guy.
And they lost it doing this.
Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser
I hate AI and refuse to interact with it. Your statement is false. They didn’t sneak anything in - they openly added a feature that lets you connect an AI assistant of choice, or with a single click, disable it entirely.
The problem is not the AI integration. Along with AI integration they changed their stance on data selling.
It went from “We promise to never sell your data” to “Firefox is secure!” Just as they were adding AI.
When a patch rolls a feature in and has it on by default (see many articles about people having issues with runaway processor usage)… I’d consider that as close to sneaking as one can.
With regard to the “switch” - that’s what I thought too. I was mistaken. There’s quite a few flags to set in about: config. That was what pushed me over the edge. Its a good piece of software. Its a shame they made that choice and shipped it in the way they did.
C’est la vie. Every so many years a browser fucks up and sees a steady exodus to another. I have no allegiance to any of these corporations… If it works - I’ll use it. If it doesn’t I’ll find something else that does. If nothing else does… I’ll go without. Hard pass.
I think its high time people started leaning into becoming digital nomads again. These corporations are far to comfortable fucking with their userbase.
I would argue that they did in fact “sneak” Perplexity address bar search into the brower just weeks ago.
You know- you do you, yadda yadda
Absolutely correct.
My initial reaction to it was akin to malware.
Don’t add random extensions to my browser without my permission.
You wouldn’t do this for any other app or add-on, which immediately hits you with the dialogue window asking if you accept certain permissions after you’ve already consented by clicking the download button.
If your adblocker stops working on YT: Update your adblocker.
that would require me to update my browser, which I can’t without updating my OS.
Windows XP forever!
That’s even worse
I don’t think windows 11 will work on my Pentium 3…
Any reason Linux isn’t an option? My devices that I ran Windows on end up running Linux in the long run because its been easier on aging hardware.
Many, many reasons.
Windows XP forever!
Inspired, lmfao
Yesss, uBlock 1.67 to fix this new issue
Ublock origin has been good and Freetube the best experience when it is working. And there’s always switching VPN to Albania to not be shown ads.
well its not surprising, they said it during/right after 1/6 insurrection they would STOP BLOCKING ELECTION DENIAL content, this set up the precedence of all the AI RIGHT WING content we see on the site.
Revanced and smart tube next
I will fight to my dieing breathe to help people deny alphabet any penny of ad revenue.
Just had this problem today. Disabling the Ad Nauseam extension allowed videos to actually load, although now they all stop at the one minute mark. I can work around it, but I’ll check to see if another extension is causing it when I have a chance.
Unless they start embedding the ads directly into the video stream, they’ll never be able to block adblocks - updating your extensions will work.
I think I did, but I’ll check again.
It was my Chrome mask extension. Seems to be working now.
only twitch does that, but its expensive to do that for every video, thats why YT doesnt do it.
Albania vpn is a way to bypass ads even on twitch if adblocking isn’t working. Comes in useful.
