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
Looks like the great purge of knowledge has begun… A long, long time ago, and now we’re knee deep in it.
I have a feeling that the YouTube apocalypse will be much harder to watch (as in “more sad/unpleasant”) than the Reddit apocalypse.
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.
Is YouTube trying to hide behind AI? Like removing videos and channels, throwing it to AI.
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.
Revanced and smart tube next
I will fight to my dieing breathe to help people deny alphabet any penny of ad revenue.
By the way, there was a video by Enderman (or FlyTech, or similar) showing a Windows locale that looked ﻉกƚٱɼєℓץ ʟ𝔦к𝚎 Շዘﾉร, intended for English-speaking devs to test support for Unicode and unusually short/long strings in the UI. I haven’t been able to find it for years (the title, which was along the lines of “The Strangest Windows 8 Build” didn’t help). Has anyone seen it recently?
The ”C” in “AI” stands for “competence”.
The ‘A’ stands for Ain’t
AI = Ain’t Intelligent
Their joke but worse
That’s the joke…
WHAAAAT? NO WAY!
Are you trying to become Captain Obvious? Because that’s MY JOB!
UPDATE: Channel “4096” (about 10 million subs i think, it had that legendary 30 million view video with the windows 7 windows dancing) has also been deleted:
Sounds like it’s a site wide push about Microsoft products:
YouTube’s AI moderator pulls Windows 11 workaround videos • https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/31/ai_moderation_youtube_windows11_workaround/
Imagine if that accidentally started banning all things Microsoft related due to some misalignment
While I do not wish for it to happen due to many real people possibly losing their real source of income, it would be quite fun hell to observe
i kinda get them pulling that, but it’s still shitty none the less.
You get what?
pulling bypass videos if microsoft asked them too. if we still had keygens, you think microsoft would be ok with keygen guides on youtube? press x to doubt.
You are out of your god damned mind to be logically equating modifying your OS with piracy.
i didn’t say it was piracy, i said it was against EULA.
You literally didn’t tho
Except this isn’t stealing windows. It’s installing it on unsupported hardware and/or without needing user accounts to be tied to microsoft accounts. It has nothing to do with bypassing windows activation systems.
your bypassing hardware requirements, that could be against the EULA, and it actually is if you read it. they dont want people sharing videos violating their EULA
but your…bypassing their software requirements…without their permission…thus breaking the license agreement you agree to installing windows. Listen dude i get it, its fucking stupid, but at the same time, i don’t see what microsoft is doing is wrong (in regards to pulling bypass videos, not this guys account)
Are you real? Like this reeks of Subway from Community.
What grounds do they have to pull those videos?
You are aware there is no law called “If you show someone how to modify the product I sold to them (licensed to them too, as that makes no difference) I get to pull down their content” right?
Love that channel :(
That’s so disappointing! One of my favorite channels!
ai has lots of problems, but lack of accountability is one of the big ones
“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.
i doubt anyone would be held accountable at youtube/ youtube itself really even if it were not AI…
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).
Loses*
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.
maybe we’ll get lucky and YouTube’s shitty moderation AI will delete the entire website
peertube
Nebula is cool because every creator on the platform becomes part owner, so it really gives creators on the platform good control of their content. I just wish that there was a way to federate video content between paid platforms so you can have one pane of glass to view stuff scattered across the web
Isn’t that just Grayjay?
You can access your nebula content on GrayJay. But GrayJay isn’t a platform you upload anything to, it’s just a way to watch content on many different platforms.
one pane of glass
Correct me if I’m wrong, but does your day job involve working with a bunch of “microservices”?
ive started to sub to creators paterons instead. ad-free and they get more money than youtube.
I also have 3 guest passes. Any time I find a video on YT that mentions Nebula I just go watch there instead.
Same here on both counts.
First 3 replies to this post asking for a guest pass will get one from me. It’s a free month of viewing anything through Nebula. (I recommend “The Prince” and “Lynchpins”.)
I would like a guest pass too!
I would like a guest pass. I frequently watch Practical Engineering on YT and Brady mentions Nebula a lot. I intended to check it out, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I have three guest passes I could send out if anyone would like to try out Nebula for a week. I’ll send you the redemption code via private message. Just reply to this thread or send me a message on Lemmy!
i would like to try if you still have a slot. tysm
Fresh out friend, but the week trial is new so anyone with Nebula should have codes if they haven’t already given them out, themselves!
i’d like one
I sent the message with the link to redeem. Let me know if you ran into any snags with the redemption process!
You got the last of the three once I’m back from lunch.
I’ll take one, if you don’t mind, I’ve heard everyone talk about it but never tried it
Sent! Please let me know if you ran into any snags with the redemption process!
You got a code URL coming when I return from my lunch!
Thank you!
I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to send a DM using the Thunder client on my phone. Is your offer for the guest pass still available??
I sent the message with the link to redeem. Let me know if you ran into any snags with the redemption process!
When I get back from lunch I’ll send the code URL.
yeah, anyway the monetizing is through sponsorship no? Like they sell something mid video, so I’m not sure how the platform is important here, apart from exposure
Advertising to the 12 people on peertube isnt the same as the millions on youtube.
But if you go you can make it 13.
A drop in the ocean raises the sea.
Rising tide raises all ships!
Maybe this will be his next move, if he doesn’t want that to happen anymore.
human errors, automated errors, ai errors, yt going for all achievements speed run
Just deleting useful information.
I dunno anything about Enderman but I looked up the Japanese channel out of curiosity. Looks like there are some videos related to some kind of game called Star Rail and there are channels with スターレイル in the title, but I can’t find a channel specifically called 棺のスターレイル遊び (which means something like “play coffin’s star rail”)
I mean, the notice says that the other channel was terminated so I don’t think you’ll be able to find it on YouTube still.
Oh I thought that was the channel making the copyright claim
Heh, I know what Star Rail is. Specifically, Honkai Star Rail, one of the biggest gacha games. It’s a turn based RPG, like Raid: Shadow Legends but anime and with way more production value.
gatcha games are trash. its just another form of gambling.
Gacha games are indeed gambling. If you consider all gambling to be irredeemable, then calling them trash as a whole is reasonable I guess.
However, it is inaccurate to say that gacha games as a whole are just gambling. They have other qualities as well, with varying levels of investment and care put into them. Sometimes the effort they put into everything else is minimal and they are basically just gambling with a thin veneer of game on top. Other times, they put an absurd amount of investment into the game, story, and music.
MiHoYo, the developer of HSR (along with Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero) are the later type. MiHoYo has more money than God, and it shows in their investment into their games. Their games are absurdly high-effort productions with more polish than any AAA game studio. They also have very good LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent rep, especially considering they’re based in China.
Personally, I am very averse to risk and uncertainty. I dislike the gambling aspect of gacha games (not just on principle, but also in my enjoyment). However, I still play some gacha games because I enjoy other aspects of them. So they’re not just gambling. But they are gambling, and it’s fair if people avoid them for that reason (especially people prone to problem gambling).
i would rather put my money somewhere else and save it.
That is totally fair. That’s your preference.
Some are very easy to play without spending any sort of money, and there’s several that have pity systems in which you’re guaranteed to get what you’re pulling for, so at least they’re slightly better than gambling. But yes, I won’t deny they’re predatory, but I’ve managed to make my gacha journey without spending a penny across the 20+ gacha games I’ve played and dropped for a little over a decade now.
Not all of them have great stories, especially the older games which focused on collecting rather than story content, but within the past few years we’ve gotten great ones that have long arcs that are actually interesting, especially if the game has side lore that you can read about.
I get that a gacha isn’t going to be as good as the average game, but when you’ve only got a few mins to play something and you’re out and about, they’re nice.
If that’s the channel that contains the copyright violations, why don’t they take down that channel?
Youtube says that Enderman’s channel contains the copyright violations of the Japanese one, not the opposite.
Isn’t it saying that Enderman’s channel was linked (involved with, co-run by, some other AI based bullshit, etc) to a channel that had copyright strikes, and that the Japanese channel was the one with copyright strikes?
Yes, is basically accusing Enderman’s channel of ban evasion.
Time to move on to the fediverse.
