i got scammed recently it sucked, but i know what not to do next time. i think informing everyone that there's potential danger is better then doing nothing. also, the best move as well to protect peers or clients that you've been vulnerable. Mee6 really is garbage for not telling their clients they got pawned because they think it'll make them look unworthy of trust. This just makes it harder to trust them cause what if they get hacked again play it off? ~just trash.
I dont mess with discord devs after finding out how bad the mods are. Them forcing slash commands and being "lmao its a you problem" to all the bots who couldnt switch pissed me off, despite text commands still being able to be used today
slash commands are inherently superior to text/ args-based commands, and bots running on v12 or prior are still able to use them if they have the right perms enabled on the developer dashboard (hence the inconsistency you've seen). Discord introduced slash commands for ease of use as well as to increase user privacy (not everyone wants every bot to read the contents of every message you send). and it is a "you problem" when you decide to work on something that is inherently tied to an ever-changing API, nothing is ever static and you have to work within the confines of the API, that's just how it is- if you don't like it then don't code discord bots, that's it. the onus is *always* on the developer to ensure that their bot/code will still work as the API is updated, it's not discord's job to make sure your bot still works. if you made a bot you should be able to very easily update it to v14, not that much has changed in terms of actual logic, it's just got a nicer syntax that actually tells the user how to input the commands and actually reads that input in a much cleaner way than args could ever hope for. So I have to disagree with your anger about slash commands (although I do agree that the devs suck lol)
@@IOrganiseContentUK I apologize but I am not reading your essay where you are in discord denial, the privacy thing is irrelevant because a discord client could be the message monitor. Discord also now SCANS every message, with its new automod bot (which you now need to use if you want automatic moderation) that is hidden behind a discord blackbox, which again makes the point irrelevant. If discord is able to add these dope permissions (which yes, slash commands do have and is their only perk), then why dont they change the bot applications to have privacy settings such as “dont send messages unless invoked” or something of the sort, as well as fix their bot oauth permissions. I know APIs can change. However, you really cannot turn a blind eye to the way discord makes changes to benefit themselves and not users. Go check your account integrations right now. Any off-platform verification service bot, any misc bot you need in a server, and more will be connected to your account, I assure you. All those connections can have your email, username and tag, and can know all the servers you are in. I love privacy, but we cannot mix and match. I wont stand for an optional input type being removed under the faux security of “privacy.” edit; yea I went on a privacy tangent, but really from having a large server, it seems that slash commands are not easy for noobs, poorly made bots, and put me off as a developer when they first released because of the way to get their input. They are not all bad, but I hate discord lying to us about privacy
I don't get it, if MEE6 is doing all of this which is illegal, why having they been sued or why hasn't Discord sued to force them to revoke MEE6 entirely?
I hated MEE6 ever since I joined my first server that used him. I don't understand the level up thing, I didn't like being alerted in the middle of the night OR day while sleeping, and it's basically just annoying to look at. I understand it's a sort of *Baby's first Discord bot* but the hell I'm staying in a server for an extended amount of time if it has this thing.
They actually changed how music videos on youtube functioned, which broke a lot of old youtube downloaders, while every other video worked fine, but most video downloaders actually got around quickly
Another thing, if I am correct, it is 100% illegal to not notify users that you have been compromised. Take Uber for example, they got crapped on because they decided to cover up the breach.
The problem with the big music licensing agencies is that they charge extremely high prices for their licenses and you'll often find that one artist you want to use has their licenses held by one agency and another artist by another agency. Longer running artists will have different songs licensed by different agencies. These agencies need to have pricing that's more friendly to the smaller user such as that average RUclipsr. Better small user friendly licensing would massively discourage small users from not paying for licenses when they should be.
I hate discord for doing this, I loved using music bots just for not having to deal with ludicrous and obnoxious ads from stopping my playlists on RUclips and Spotify since I can't buy premium for both.
Imo stopping streaming music or any media in a voice channel sounds silly to my. Maybe because I'm there all the time, but being in VC to me mostly just feels like being in a room with my friends. Maybe you could argue it for bigger rooms, but to me it's not much different than playing music at a party/event or something.
I'll be honest, I'm against people getting scammed, but nfts are already scams, a mere picture with some "ownership" code... so when I hear nft owners got scammed out of their nfts, all I can think of is "fool me twice, shame on me"
Now the music plugin is removed from MEE6 ... I hope it was not because of this video... This plugin just still allowed the normal playback of music...
I hate MEE6 because of its levelling system it has. Like, I wanna send a piece of art in a server I don’t have any connections in but turns out I got to send 500 messages on a 10 second cool-down general. Like, i’m sure the levels stop the more lazy variety raiders, and good for the dedicated people and all that but it’s still frustrating. It feels less like security and more like an artificial incentive to be active in a server half the time
“The main reason RIA exists us to make sure the artists get paid” HA HA! Someone hasn’t researched enough about RIAA. That shit is about the executives man
considering discord is continuing to make nitro more and more luxurious for example upping nitro to 500gb uploads while non nitro users are stuck with 8 gb, not enough to even upload a single camera image from most modern phones and they even tried dipping their toes into nfts themselves which got major backlash i wouldn't be surprised that they're trying to cling onto their most popular bot considering how much money it makes
I got the shovel if you need it. Though you'll have to apply it yourself. Also there are some bots that still use Spotify links. So some of them are still breaking the rules.
As someone who is currently in a cyber security class in school, I am somehow shocked that a security breach isn't tanking down on a group/company that might have made millions, despite most security breaches (even if properly handled and people were informed as soon as they noticed the breach) being hard to recover from... and you'd think they would have high security if they sell fucking NFTs, but no... even though the hacker did take alot of money, they could have done worse and went into the database and steal alot of peoples' data (including credit card info, I doubt that if a hacker easily past by any security measures, they weren't really protecting their customers' data either... Don't you dare get any ideas you hacking criminal scums)
Because out of the 17 million + discords the bot is in....a handful spoke out...and the media never took hold of it because the story wouldnt make them any money
I guess I'm an atypical discord and Mee6 user. I grabbed it for stream/video notifications, paid for the lifetime pass because I didn't feel like setting up a monthly plan, and kind of did a set and forget. I've ignored the NFTs and Web3, I've ignored all the "premium server" stuff. I ignore all the music bot functionality (I really don't understand why people would want this. If I want to listen to something, I'll go do that. Why do people need to control music for a group?). I guess I figured I was supporting a basement dev that made a useful bot, not a huge greedy corporation. At least on that front, it has been nice. I don't have to spend a bunch of time managing half a dozen bots to do everything, and unless MEE6 shuts down, it's all good.
Thats probably what a lot of the user base is, along with being new to discord and MEE6 being the easiest to set up. Also, unlike some other bots MEE6 was fully self funded and never had any investors (excluding NFTs). Also a thing I see lots of people forget when it comes to "greed" is that MEE6 is a company, at the end of the day they have a whole team (25+ at this point, targeting a team of 50 by EOY IIRC) to pay, as well as all the hosting costs, providing the benefits for working at MEE6, and renting/purchasing costs for office space for the people who work in person. Its not like they are pocketing every last cent that comes into MEE6.
@@Jerry001 Yeah like I get it. A lot of Discord's userbase might be highscoolers and middleschoolers who have a very different use-case and less disposable income, but I'm really not feeling the evil here. Outside of NFT scamming and Web3, of course.
I don't have a problem with paying for a service, bots are open market and theres no drama with starting a "copy cat" bot. If you dislike a bot, make one yourself or use one thats either open source or free to use. there are plenty of bots that do the same stuff mee6 does hope people can understand that.

@@xenird me when im not a bot??
i got scammed recently it sucked, but i know what not to do next time.
i think informing everyone that there's potential danger is better then doing nothing. also, the best move as well to protect peers or clients that you've been vulnerable. Mee6 really is garbage for not telling their clients they got pawned because they think it'll make them look unworthy of trust. This just makes it harder to trust them cause what if they get hacked again play it off? ~just trash.
It's simple, companies won't let go of their cash cows, that's just fact.
I dont mess with discord devs after finding out how bad the mods are. Them forcing slash commands and being "lmao its a you problem" to all the bots who couldnt switch pissed me off, despite text commands still being able to be used today
slash commands are inherently superior to text/ args-based commands, and bots running on v12 or prior are still able to use them if they have the right perms enabled on the developer dashboard (hence the inconsistency you've seen). Discord introduced slash commands for ease of use as well as to increase user privacy (not everyone wants every bot to read the contents of every message you send). and it is a "you problem" when you decide to work on something that is inherently tied to an ever-changing API, nothing is ever static and you have to work within the confines of the API, that's just how it is- if you don't like it then don't code discord bots, that's it. the onus is *always* on the developer to ensure that their bot/code will still work as the API is updated, it's not discord's job to make sure your bot still works. if you made a bot you should be able to very easily update it to v14, not that much has changed in terms of actual logic, it's just got a nicer syntax that actually tells the user how to input the commands and actually reads that input in a much cleaner way than args could ever hope for. So I have to disagree with your anger about slash commands (although I do agree that the devs suck lol)
@@IOrganiseContentUK I apologize but I am not reading your essay where you are in discord denial, the privacy thing is irrelevant because a discord client could be the message monitor.
Discord also now SCANS every message, with its new automod bot (which you now need to use if you want automatic moderation) that is hidden behind a discord blackbox, which again makes the point irrelevant.
If discord is able to add these dope permissions (which yes, slash commands do have and is their only perk), then why dont they change the bot applications to have privacy settings such as “dont send messages unless invoked” or something of the sort, as well as fix their bot oauth permissions.
I know APIs can change. However, you really cannot turn a blind eye to the way discord makes changes to benefit themselves and not users. Go check your account integrations right now. Any off-platform verification service bot, any misc bot you need in a server, and more will be connected to your account, I assure you. All those connections can have your email, username and tag, and can know all the servers you are in.
I love privacy, but we cannot mix and match. I wont stand for an optional input type being removed under the faux security of “privacy.”
edit; yea I went on a privacy tangent, but really from having a large server, it seems that slash commands are not easy for noobs, poorly made bots, and put me off as a developer when they first released because of the way to get their input. They are not all bad, but I hate discord lying to us about privacy

"An employees account was compromised"
I hated MEE6 ever since I joined my first server that used him. I don't understand the level up thing, I didn't like being alerted in the middle of the night OR day while sleeping, and it's basically just annoying to look at.
I understand it's a sort of *Baby's first Discord bot* but the hell I'm staying in a server for an extended amount of time if it has this thing.
Time to play music through my mic for the boys in VC.
They actually changed how music videos on youtube functioned, which broke a lot of old youtube downloaders, while every other video worked fine, but most video downloaders actually got around quickly
Props to the hacker trying to take down the nft community /j
I love these little video essays you do, keep making them!
Another thing, if I am correct, it is 100% illegal to not notify users that you have been compromised. Take Uber for example, they got crapped on because they decided to cover up the breach.
The problem with the big music licensing agencies is that they charge extremely high prices for their licenses and you'll often find that one artist you want to use has their licenses held by one agency and another artist by another agency. Longer running artists will have different songs licensed by different agencies. These agencies need to have pricing that's more friendly to the smaller user such as that average RUclipsr. Better small user friendly licensing would massively discourage small users from not paying for licenses when they should be.
when u pulled up machine girl spotify I came, nice video
I love Machinegirl thank you for existing
I hate discord for doing this, I loved using music bots just for not having to deal with ludicrous and obnoxious ads from stopping my playlists on RUclips and Spotify since I can't buy premium for both.
I hope it doesn't get banned. I hate what mee6 has become but I don't hate the levels we've built up over 6 years 💀

It’s sucky that mee6 downplayed them getting hacked but in my eyes, it makes sense that nft users were the ones that got scammed
Imo stopping streaming music or any media in a voice channel sounds silly to my. Maybe because I'm there all the time, but being in VC to me mostly just feels like being in a room with my friends. Maybe you could argue it for bigger rooms, but to me it's not much different than playing music at a party/event or something.
I'll be honest, I'm against people getting scammed, but nfts are already scams, a mere picture with some "ownership" code... so when I hear nft owners got scammed out of their nfts, all I can think of is "fool me twice, shame on me"
Now the music plugin is removed from MEE6 ...
I hope it was not because of this video... This plugin just still allowed the normal playback of music...
That was a surprisingly good impression of joker in 3:29
dyno took another w
this bot is so favorite there is no other bot that is allowed to play stuff from youtube...
... no other bots at all...
I hate MEE6 because of its levelling system it has. Like, I wanna send a piece of art in a server I don’t have any connections in but turns out I got to send 500 messages on a 10 second cool-down general.
Like, i’m sure the levels stop the more lazy variety raiders, and good for the dedicated people and all that but it’s still frustrating. It feels less like security and more like an artificial incentive to be active in a server half the time
Reject popular bots, embrace do your own bot, no more privacy issues
ProBot and FlaviBot are still verified even though they are music / RUclips playing bots

“The main reason RIA exists us to make sure the artists get paid”

considering discord is continuing to make nitro more and more luxurious for example upping nitro to 500gb uploads while non nitro users are stuck with 8 gb, not enough to even upload a single camera image from most modern phones and they even tried dipping their toes into nfts themselves which got major backlash
i wouldn't be surprised that they're trying to cling onto their most popular bot considering how much money it makes

It's Megabytes (MB), not Gigabytes (GB).
Not only MEE6, Jockie and many other bots still can play music from RUclips

BIYAAAHEYSF is the absolute best example of "hoe scaring music" you could have used
*cough cough* me that downloads youtube videos to my phone using an mp4 downloader:
I got the shovel if you need it. Though you'll have to apply it yourself.
Also there are some bots that still use Spotify links. So some of them are still breaking the rules.
mee6: has a music option
discord: ou get an expection, don't worry.
As someone who is currently in a cyber security class in school, I am somehow shocked that a security breach isn't tanking down on a group/company that might have made millions, despite most security breaches (even if properly handled and people were informed as soon as they noticed the breach) being hard to recover from... and you'd think they would have high security if they sell fucking NFTs, but no... even though the hacker did take alot of money, they could have done worse and went into the database and steal alot of peoples' data (including credit card info, I doubt that if a hacker easily past by any security measures, they weren't really protecting their customers' data either... Don't you dare get any ideas you hacking criminal scums)

Yoo that is good name i guess i can make it!
I hated mee6 devs but i like the music commands but now that they're gone does anyone have any alternative bots?
Isn’t properly disclosing hacks and data breaches required
Right as the mee6 icon popped up and you said it’s name I got a notification form mee6
I guess I'm an atypical discord and Mee6 user. I grabbed it for stream/video notifications, paid for the lifetime pass because I didn't feel like setting up a monthly plan, and kind of did a set and forget. I've ignored the NFTs and Web3, I've ignored all the "premium server" stuff. I ignore all the music bot functionality (I really don't understand why people would want this. If I want to listen to something, I'll go do that. Why do people need to control music for a group?). I guess I figured I was supporting a basement dev that made a useful bot, not a huge greedy corporation.
At least on that front, it has been nice. I don't have to spend a bunch of time managing half a dozen bots to do everything, and unless MEE6 shuts down, it's all good.
Thats probably what a lot of the user base is, along with being new to discord and MEE6 being the easiest to set up.
Also, unlike some other bots MEE6 was fully self funded and never had any investors (excluding NFTs).
Also a thing I see lots of people forget when it comes to "greed" is that MEE6 is a company, at the end of the day they have a whole team (25+ at this point, targeting a team of 50 by EOY IIRC) to pay, as well as all the hosting costs, providing the benefits for working at MEE6, and renting/purchasing costs for office space for the people who work in person. Its not like they are pocketing every last cent that comes into MEE6.
@@Jerry001 Yeah like I get it. A lot of Discord's userbase might be highscoolers and middleschoolers who have a very different use-case and less disposable income, but I'm really not feeling the evil here. Outside of NFT scamming and Web3, of course.
All bots that log deleted messages also break tos iirc
Basically all multi purpose use bots in existence that have moderation
@@Jerry001 yep
I don't have a problem with paying for a service, bots are open market and theres no drama with starting a "copy cat" bot.
If you dislike a bot, make one yourself or use one thats either open source or free to use.
there are plenty of bots that do the same stuff mee6 does
hope people can understand that.
So if any hacker attacked mee6 then it’s technically a liberation attempt
The hacker most probably token logged the MEE6 developer’s discord account or was somehow affiliated with the developer.
