How stupid would you have to be to let it go through.

But that's what happens when you are the keeper of petabytes of data

"Yeah nothing can go wrong"

We need better alternative streaming platforms

I know a few people who are buildling some

But they'll never get as popular as youtube streaming or twitch

This is the world we live in

Just wait, I suspect this will start happening in Discord soon

Gradually

The problem is

Youtube has never made a profit.

Yeah

And they're the POPULAR one

So.. no video platform that competes, can do better than youtube.

No profit for anyone.

That's a big problem. The ones who ARE making money are less popular, e.g. dailymotion, vimeo are not popular

There are actually some really poplular youtube clones out there

I'm part of one with 10,000 users

Google is like "HEYY WE'RE NOT EVEN MAKING MONEY OFF THIS SO BE GRATEFUL."

Oh man

dox'd

lel

look at him

hiding back there

trying to avoid the camera

Camerashy, are ya

sneaky sneaky

lol

I wish I could livestream on yt

that would be cool

But I can only do it on Twitch (not that my internet connection allows more than 5fps)

I think youtube really SHOULD be a public utility. Given that they make no money off it.

ye

It should be like PBS

Do they REALLY make no money from it? I've heard that said a lot, but find it very hard to believe

I have no idea what I'm talking about.

And yes. No money.

It's too expensive.

Like does that just take into account ad revenue?

Or data collection as well?

Well, hosting the videos costs something too.

YT loses money on average every year

I'm not sure if they've ever made a profit

Sure, but to just look at how much revenue they make doesn't get the full picture on actual profit

They clearly view it as worthwhile to keep running, so they must think they're getting something out of it right?

You're not sure? Well I can make you sure: They haven't.

Why am I being questioned

You peons dare?

yes

@Scribblehatch inb4 YouTube should not be made public, just because it doesn't make a profit

A lot of widely used companies make no money

but still service loads of people

Because when you make something public, it gets more expensive

@Timcast H3H3 did get their ability to livestream back again

yea I updated my video right after it went up

Why does youtube always pull this retarded shit just to reverse it in the morning

Scream test.

If there's no scream, they don't reverse it.

You make a good point

it shut them down

then they go oops

but the podcast is over

True

Welcome to YouTube - "Oops"

Surely Youtube of all people knows that the Streisand Effect will just make the podcast more popular for it...

I mean, it's bloody google!

It's hard to not believe these companies have nefarious intentions anymore

They know who searches what when

Like, I can only imagine that the moderator that picked that battle got fired...

Just set the precedent that sometimes people get oopsies banned, and now you're able to ban whoever you want and just roll it back if there's enough outcry

"Ooooopss"

sorry guys

It's not just Oops.

It's Oopsy Doodles

Get it right.

Oops on steroriods

... That's what Oopsy Doodles IS

I thought those were drawings that you didn't mean to release...

Oopsy Doodle. A google doodle, but the l resembles a penis.

And nobody caught it.

*ree*

Cathartic rage timestamped.

I hope this doesn't cause a chilling effect on youtubers. Seems likely with how much they depend on Youtube

It might.

But it's checkmate in like 20+ moves as it is.

I'mma watch this later

Alright, Tim Pool's video is up...

yup watching meow

I don't like the sudden burst of music during the advertisements.

watching now

another water is wet title

lol

Could be worse.

Could be 'Wet streets cause rain'

don't have a problem with it, just think it's entertaining 😄

Damn man... That was pretty heavy ending for a game.

Fuck me. and the sequels probably a year away at least

I'm getting two ads in a row every time now.
