Oh, I don’t have epilepsy so I’m not avoiding YouTube because of this filter, I’m avoiding YouTube because of the money Google keeps giving to Trump and because I noticed that my tech usage isn’t very diversified and it was pretty pretty dominated by US companies (so if you imagine trade war negotiating leverage, I was giving the Trump administration more leverage). From that perspective, it removes ad revenue which is about all you can do with YouTube besides trying to convince creators to put their videos on multiple platforms (and it’s questionable there is a good alternative platform)

To be fair, they also have little to gain now besides a slight feeling of doing something good but any alternative has to start from somewhere and need to get momentum.

Yeah, YouTube is really entrenched.

It’s not that hard to set your peertube account to autoupload any YouTube channel but we only get away with the IP issues while peertube is small so it’s not very sustainable.

I wish more of the creators that have ethical issues with the Trump administration’s actions would acknowledge that Google is enabling and actively supporting (at least through larger than usual donations to) the Trump administration and then choose to upload anywhere else, even if they keep uploads in two places. I wonder if they lose more IP control on peertube, it seems unlikely given the alternative is Google. I’ve tried to message a few creators but I think the larger ones have either contracts of fond memories of the community that they grew from.

Ahahaha. A title cautioning not to watch YouTube with the description of the situation being… a YouTube video.

I’m avoiding YouTube so for others like me that want more info here’s a BBC article on the filter itself (not the failure mode):

https://www.bbc.co.uk/future/article/20250822-youtube-is-using-ai-to-edit-videos-without-permission

YouTube has secretly used artificial intelligence (AI) to tweak people’s videos without letting them know or asking permission. Wrinkles in shirts seem more defined. Skin is sharper in some places and smoother in others. Pay close attention to ears, and you may notice them warp

And an Invidious link that lets you view the video:

Agreed after the yes.

I’m not sure how what you said either: justifies the comments not fitting that label; justifies that “any practice that restricts my personal freedom in any way is bad” is a practical ideology; or even establishes much a link between what you’ve quoted and what you’ve said. And I think you need to be doing one of those to be making a counter argument

I think that marking things as “safe” could have more complications than this depending on their definition but I think you’re right that’s probably all this issue is. This is almost the only sane comment here. Everyone else seems to be frothing at the mouth and I’m guessing its a decent mix of not understanding much of how these systems work (and blindly running tutorials for those that do self host) and blind ideology (big companies are bad / any practice that restricts my personal freedom in any way is bad)

And the other government with large contributors is China and intellectual property rights have never been strong there. Walk around a tech startup in China and you’ll see plenty of posters they’ve made with their products and with the faces of Elon Musk or Steve Jobs there as if they’re endorsing or part of the product

A lot of upvotes here, and I think they’re ignoring how much is involved in production pipelines and the overhead of sourcing suppliers. That said, Musk has a habit of throwing in last minute changes and the company manages to handle those but much like self driving they ship late

I wonder if there is some metadata any viewers use that I could also sync between devices

What page I’m on. I’ve tried a few things that basically open you to the start again. Especially with PDFs (so opening research papers on the iPhone. Thats not really self hosting but part of the system that needs to work together).

I’ll update the post so people get this in first pass. Thanks!

That write up does seem to ignore the doubling down here:

https://lemmy.ca/comment/13913116

Calling out that JD Vance was the only one to answer is pretty troubling to me after reading about some of his new-right ties. It’s way, way too close for my liking to a mouse telling everyone that will listen that the cat was amazing for inviting him and all his friends to his house in a week. ie. Playing into what just seems like an obvious strategy.

That said, I’m pretty ignorant about the CEO. I just remembered this lemmy comment and I didn’t notice it included in the write up that was being linked.

OP was not actually posing anything coherent

Yeah, agreed.

I’m not hugely on board with the comment answering the second question though. For me, it’s a bit too similar to saying that meteorologists lied to us because they said there was a 60% chance of rain and it didn’t happen. In the context of this question its a lot more complicated than that though

That seems like a statement. I’m still lost on how this answers the question

When did Ukrainian come into it? I went back to the article but half of it was behind a paywall
