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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
At this point I feel like we should have a website and community that coordinates with all youtubers to collectively move together in waves. To have them exist on multiple platforms until everyone is firmly on a few other ones
To Vanillo, PeerTube, Nebula, & Glomble (When it is fixed and overhauled)
There’s no fucking way Glomble is the real name of a video platform.
You would be surprised haha. It doesnt work currently due to huge traffic but when it did it was actually pretty good. Definitely farther behind compared to the other 2 but it was not bad
Nebula as well
That too! I’ll add it in
I would be more upset about this sort of shit happening to youtube about 10 or 15 years ago. If i need some information and theres a youtube video on it, the info is usually around 8 minutes in to a 30 minute video where they give shit loads of guff that nobody needs to know while telling you to smash that like button, hit the subscribe it really helps out the channel so if you like the content can you please subscribe dont forget to subscribe if you wanna see the channel grow then press subscribe dont miss a video by pressing subscribe I need you to subscribe here’s the information I promised but dont forget to subscribe hit that subscribe button if this helped you then leave a comment and dont forget to subscribe and like this video if you want to see more like this.
Just install sponsor block. It’s the only way to make YouTube bearable.
What kind of absolute dog water content do y’all watch where pressing the 5 second skip button isn’t good enough?
What premium version of YT are you using that adds a skip button on in video sponsorships?
The right and left buttons on the arrow keys? Is that the issue and why you need sponserblock?
You’re so right, I should just close my ears and eyes for all ads while I’m at it, then I don’t even have to pay to remove them. So smart!
I remember when you used to be able to just enter the Wadsworth constant in the URL and it would jump you right to the good stuff
I’m high and I don’t know what this means but it sounds absolutely fantastic.
Wadsworth Constant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadsworth_constant_deviation_system
I think you meant this: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-wadsworth-constant
nah I was being silly.
check out the sponser block extension. i stopped using the app on mobile just to use the extension on firefox
deleted by creator
Yeah, I was wondering if there was enough content on Nebula to make it worthwhile to pay. A lot of my favorite channels do this and it’s getting old. I understand this is how they make money, but that doesn’t mean I’m obligated to watch it. I can just move along.
Popular youtuber “looses” channel after AI error
looks inside
It is very possible this error was made by the new AI YouTube copyright detection bots.
This is clickbait.
Youtube is trying to purge it’s own community
Much like Reddit.
Is YouTube trying to hide behind AI? Like removing videos and channels, throwing it to AI.
Google like many companies are looking at AI like the next slave trade. Free labor that doesn’t need sleep, ask for wage increases, or have rights. There’s a reason so many companies are trying to brute force AI right now. And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out why humanoid robots are being developed.
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…
If your adblocker stops working on YT: Update your adblocker.
Yesss, uBlock 1.67 to fix this new issue
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Revanced and smart tube next
I will fight to my dieing breathe to help people deny alphabet any penny of ad revenue.
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.
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.
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.
It was my Chrome mask extension. Seems to be working now.
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
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.
UPDATE 2: Enderman’s channel was restored.
i downloaded one of his videos to archive, just in case.
Never heard about him
He will probably be back in a few days.
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.
