i uploaded a goofy instrumental cover of ocean man that i got from soundcloud onto youtube and it got automatically flagged by the content id system because of the matching melody

I got flagged once for playing a song from the goddamn 1700s. Apparently some German company has copyrighted all Baroque music somehow.

"A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing."

If someone with bigoted and hateful ideas learns just a little bit of history, they will find other hateful people like them from the past to cling to like a safety blanket. The second they realize that entire empires were built on similar ideals to their own they never let that safety blanket go.

This is precisely the problem with the modern internet. Before the internet, loonies were forced to interact with normal people and were rightly ridiculed for their beliefs.

Now there are entire online communities devoted to whatever loony conspiracy theory you can think of. Its like rule 34 for morons. Ex: Qanon could not have been taken seriously in a pre-internet environment.

they seem to have an audience share who fetishize history instead of studying it. thinking past times were better than the present requires you to be stupid & selfish on the same level, in the same ways as being a chud.

History tells me that the Roman Empire was real strong and manly and everyone was jealous of how cool it was. Therefore, as an American of Italian descent, I constantly compare all current events to the Roman times, seeing as my people have totally failed to accomplish anything of note that wasn't a culinary pursuit in the 1600 years since.

I created and uploaded the video in question. The video was created by generating a noise waveform of 10 hours length using the freeware software Audacity and the built-in noise generator. The resulting 10-hour audio file was then imported into ScreenFlow, where the text was added and then rendered as one 10-hour video file, he explains.

What even happens to the monetization in this clown show?

Does it like, try to split it five ways? Does it just fully monetize one claimant, then another in succession?

Why is this so stupid.

Youtube (google, really) tries to do everything via algorithm because hiring enough competent people to moderate the firehose of content that is the internet is expensive. unfortunately the algorithm is dogshit garbage.

edit: oh yeah and they don't even hire enough people to review the algorithm fuckups. because ultimately they don't give a poo poo.

Is hickok45 demonetized too? I cant keep track because I have Youtube Red/Premium whatever. I dunno what his personal politics are, but he manages to hit a balance between cool chill guns uncle and professional. His video on weapons safety for beginners is fantastic.

Starting to hate Youtube at this point because I have a lot of respect for the dudes who are trying to teach laymen about things they wouldn't care about otherwise. I guess WatchNebula is an alternative site for history folks getting run off YouTube. More of an education/nonficiton focus. Dunno if this will die in the crib or become anything, but some cool channels like RealEngineering, FeatureHistory, and TierZoo (a huge guilty pleasure of mine) are on there.

History appeals to chuds, and always has. From Civil War re-enactors to the History Channel devolving into all-Hitler all the time in the mid-2000s, chuds just love to look back on the past for some reason.

My wife's uncle deifies the founding fathers and throws a diaperbaby shitfit when you point out the ones who owned slaves (all of them but John Adams, LOL).

Wouldn't that only make him like them more?

I dont think chuds are more into history than the average person, but they are hyper focused on big wars involving white people, slave owning and why it was totally understandable and not to be condemned, and scientific/engineering achievements made by white people. So its easy for them to get together and loudly agree with each other in public places, because they all somehow agreed on the syllabus ahead of time.

There are a bunch of these where I work constantly talking about WW2 and the founding fathers, but if you try to engage them about literally any other historical topic (art, music, literature, social movements, politics outside Europe/US) they have nothing to say. Not that it will necessarily stop them from pretending and embarrassing themselves, because its also peak chudcrime to admit you dont know something.

The Roman Empire founded Britain, which founded the British Empire which founded the US. We're living in the Roman Empire still.

You'd think so, but he's one who is in complete denial about his own and the conservative movement's racism. See, Lincoln freed the slaves, and Lincoln was a Republican, ipso facto Republicans can't be racist. Just don't talk about George Washington and Thomas Jefferson owning slaves. IT WAS DIFFERENT BACK THEN, THEY DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS WRONG!!! (Historically inaccurate claim.)

Also he's a cop in Dallas, TX and when EBOLA was a headline a few years ago, he freaked out because apparently there's a part of Dallas with a lot of African immigrants. He of course referred to them as "animals." Not racist though!

A more corporate manner idea: I haven't found a straight answer but, I want to know how much it would cost to run a website where a single person:
- uploads 5 hours of 1080K video a day via streaming
- and an archive that is 10 year old
- Has 4 million viewers daily.
- (it's gatta be millions of dollars right?)
because once that gets cheap enough, youtube is dead, and we're back in the the version of the internet where individual websites are important
