There has to be a potential lawsuit there somehow. It's steal money from the commentor and creator
ya that is pretty messed up
i have to agree, if i donate money to one person
and another group comes along and takes it
thats thievery of the highest order
I know they can claim it's in the TOS, but o don't think this is enforceable.
the problem is superchat payments are small ammounts
It should instead just remove the superchat and canel the payment processing.
going to court over them will be diffiicult
ya i agree with that
it would have to be class action, for sure.
if you arent going to pay the creator, then refund the money paid
like you said, the ToS probably obsolves them of anything
They can claim that, but I don't think this works here.
ya, i think it will be similar to people that get hurt in places with warning signs. sure that sign is there, but you can still sue
pretty sure TOS stops being enforcable when you start stealing things actually worth money.
we would need someone to reach almost 1k in a superchat
or be missing 1k to get into court
small claims wouldnt be worth the time
Like steams tos works only because you don't actually pay for the game, you pay for rights to play it.
same with EULAs. unenforcabke.but going to court is too mjcb troubke for avergae joe/jane
access to the service
which is what youtube will claim as well, we give out free access to the service
we can do what we want
You need to go to court for principle, not money.
ya i get that, but there is a monitary ammount before it gets taken seriously, if someone could claim other things other than the loss of money then other stipulations can be added
Given the right of crowd funding for some legal stuff, like Danks stuff, there is a possibility for a few people to go to bat on behalf of us, the viewer. And the person getting their money stolen.
ya that is what it would really take
given how the left tried to eat pewdepie, i wonder if hey will try to gank his cash, but i think he is still mostly on their good side
honestly any lawsuit would need someone with his clout to even get noticed
(hate saying that he has clout, but 65million subs is a hell of a number)
Pewds isn't on their good side, YouTube just knows they can't piss him off so much he jumped to bitchute and helps make them popular
ya that is a good point
does he do live streams on youtube? im betting he is a twitch guy right? (i dont keep up with too many live streams)
You don't need his clout, just the money. So, take a few of these people floating around, like Sargon, Tim, dank, bearing, etc. And get all their supporters to donate to the cause.
I wonder if they could refund some of the money easily if the won. Like make the goal to get YouTube to change their practice, set a precedent, and cover the legal fees.
Imagine the standard that could set, sueing the large cooperations to change their practices and get you donation refunded out of the corporations pockets
We'd no longer need the government to police things like twitter
suing people doesnt really work like that
you dont sue someone then get to dictate things to them
