I’m going to miss this channel.
It's been a fun 12 years! In that time, we've:
a) Got right to repair passed for farmers
b) woke up people to the idea that companies are trying to make everything unfixable & take away rights of ownership
c) taught a few hundred thousand people how to do component-level repairs at their businesses to increase their economic viability & save customers money
d) demonstrated to customers they were possible, got a open-source wheelchair non-profit funded two hundred thousand dollars
e) Got a wheelchair right to repair bill passed in Colorado so people don't have to wait three to six months to be able to move again.
_None of this could have been accomplished without all of you._ You will always have my gratitude and thanks. *I had a good run!!*
When I'm 80 years old, I will look back on my time spent here with a smile. *NO REGRETS!* All I ask, is that when this channel is deleted, you carry on the torch for repairability, ownership, and freedom in your own lives & social circles, and keep it about the issues without mentioning me.
@@rossmanngroup thank you for everything. RUclips is a raging monopoly. Recently I decided to remove monetization from my channeI because i want people to watch my stuff for free, and now yt is sending me emails threatening to remove me from the partner program, and that I can't put "no ads" in my title. Such a petty organization
uh
@@rossmanngroup We, the thankless and incorrigible, don't deserve you.
@rossmanngroup you arent leaving right? I do admire your work a lot.
RUclips: "We strive to keep RUclips a safe and responsible community"
Also RUclips: *allows literal scams to advertise on the platform*
Then in their next breath to parliaments or senates they say "With a platform as volumous as ours we simply cannot afford the man hours required to manually review all appeals, advertising applicants and acts of TOS violation so we will continue to employ machine algorithms and bare minimum human interaction to run our business as the expense of other human beings livelihoods."
100% true. Plus fake celeb endorsements... Julia Roberts in an erectile disjunction ad, for example.
Dont forget pdf.files and Naked Yoga videos -.-"""

What are you talking about bro you don't want to get your Russian mail order bride?
100k subs silver button, 1 million subs gold button, 2 million subs threatening letter.
It seems.youve gotten too.big for our britches
5 million subs you get a visit from men in suits with an offer you are unable to refuse because that option is not available to you.
Correction 1 million subs you get a piece of balsa wood spray painted with gold, they gave up on giving out those pure Gold play buttons out probably after the 1000th time.
@@SEEYAIAYE It's never been pure; it's an alloy containing at most about 20% gold...and that layer is thinner than spider silk, with brass underneath. The gold might be worth a couple of cents if you melted it down. Might.
Now _that's_ incentive, the Soviet way!
This is what happens with monopolies.
The company grows so large that their support is trash, they go after literally anyone interfering with their product at any capacity, they no longer have stable channels and the whole service becomes a web of garbage.
Thank you for teaching us so much Louis!
Just like the us goverment father gaining control of america
Or what was done to africa after imperialism of the wet ran thru it
It's just capitalism and neo-fuedalism in play. RUclips could have hundreds of competitors and the same problems would still happen, because we are tied to the digital land, we can't migrate our accounts and content across platforms. Competition fixes nothing, just like no liberal philosopher back in the day advocated for capitalism without regulations and rules.
One comment,there is no such thing as free markets because they directly lead to the richest person buying out the rest
Then they incorporate under a new name and continue on.
@@bronyinsticks I'd tweak that to say that any market without sufficient regulation, will tend towards a monopoly
Beautiful response. Screw YT.
RIGHT ON!
As Gaben said:
“Piracy is a service issue”
When the service is worse than a pirated version, piracy is inevitable.
I agree with gaben

@@GardenofEdens hail gaben

Gabe Newell was correct.
Can you imagine if RUclips had this same legal dedication towards stopping their scam ads?
RUclips is the biggest scam on RUclips.
Don't forget, they also allow literal porn ads as well as actual porn (but called "naked yoga"). Hypocrites, all of them.
Like the Establishment Tittles "You can be a lord" scam".
Or porn bots. Or all the “accidental” demonetizations that are always on one side of the isle? Or the fake copyright strikes?
There had to be serious PR backlash for them to do anything about SSSniperWolf…
You nailed it perfectly on why I have refused to pay for RUclips. I love the content on RUclips but youtube have absolutely no respect for those who use their platform.
You are paying for content that has to be made in accordance with their ridiculous ad friendly standards. So, what am I paying for? Worse content?
Absolutely not.
I support you, and I don't think anybody should pay. But at the same time, if everybody started paying and they were able to scrap ads, wouldn't the service be better? On the other hand, I suppose free content is a valuable resource and ads are the only way to support that. How should RUclips as a business actually be run?
u dont pay because u dont have any money, stop acting like u got all these good values
@@mercier300 What a brilliant argument.
Nobody can have values unless they have disposable income.
Have you considered that maybe you're a terrible person?
@@PomuLeafEveryday If everyone started paying they would scrap ads for a short period of time then they would push for more revenue and ads would be back.
Corporations need to make more money. Infinitely. They can't be happy with a lot they need more.
@@Nereosis16 Yes, I think so, which is why as RUclips premium payer, whatever they call it now... I've had a similar moment. I use sub channels. I find RUclips isn't smart enough to understand my various interests, so with this sub channel I watch tech, trading news, etc., etc., on another I produce more content for example.
I switched between these on an airplane and suddenly, unless I connected to the internet, not possible on this flight, they apologized, I was not going to be able to watch anything I downloaded. My heart dropped like you wouldn't believe. This is literally how I deal with flying. I watched an inflight movie... enjoyed myself reasonably, but got none of the research I'm usually doing done so I wasted my time and it relatively felt horrible.
Most of my experiences are fine, but this SUUUUCKED.

As someone who has had his measly 5,000-subscriber channel taken down for no reason with no means of reaching out to anyone or contesting, I support you wholeheartedly. Thank you for being so amazing.
That is hugely why a lot of people have moved over to Rumble.
It’s stupid. They send you a link to said video that doesn’t work because they took it down and don’t actually tell us the exact reason it was taken down…. Stupid
@@yosefmacgruber1920 Isn't Rumble the right-wing conspiracy theory platform? No matter how much I hate RUclips and their BS practices, I would never support a right-wing platform.
@@Unmethicated I had zero strikes. I had no warnings. One day I just tried to log in and my channel was gone. I got an e-mail and it said nothing at all about what I had infringed. I tried to contest only to get automated e-mails saying they're upholding their decision.
@@Unmethicated
YT seems to be giving away their market-share to other similar websites that are not so manipulated or censored. But the religious fanatics who fear the truth, don't appear to care about the mess that they make. I spend more time on Rumble now, as YT is nearly worthless when it comes to things political.
Why/How would they state the reason? There is no valid reason.
KEEP Being the Best you are Louis - We all Love you for what you do!
I'm a lawyer. My advice also is if you receive a demand letter with a period to comply. Don't feel pressured to follow that timeline. That period is just a number that a lawyer pulled up his ass and has no legal basis or effect if not followed.

We are a sexually dimorphic species, determined by biology. Multiculturalism destroys countries. Despite doing trillions in damages through it's heavy handed restrictions, every single person on the planet was exposed to C®VID anyway, so they accomplished nothing through the global shutdown. Electric vehicles are far worse for the environment than simple, economical cars that last for decades, like they were in the 80s. The entire concept of carbon production and climate change is flawed.

Good luck Louis!
Software developers hold the real power in the world. I've maintained for several years that Daylight Savings Time (DST) is one of the worst ideas anyone has ever come up with. DST can be eliminated by waiting for time to normalize, wait a month, and then quietly _delete_ DST handling code from all major OSes and libraries. When people go to change the time on their clocks, they'll discover that DST has been permanently deleted. Poof. No more DST. Changing times on clocks twice a year causes innumerable software failures...twice a year. DST is a plague on humanity but software developers can correct this problem.
You are bang on on so many points. There is massive corporate authoritarian abuse happening at the moment and not enough people are standing up for consumers. I hope legislators get in touch and get your expert advice to pass legislation that returns our basic rights to us.
Won't happen, google's DEI and social policies gives them firm support from the left. As long as Google labels any criticism against these protected groups as hate speech they'll be allowed to do whatever they want.

Never forget, they made a conscious decision to get rid of the motto "Don't be evil".
@@RT-qd8yl Only evil have motto of "Don't be evil". The good doesn't have to tell themselves not to be evil and pretend not to be evil.
@RT-qd8yl They just realized they weren't fooling anyone who was paying attention, and people who weren't didn't know what their motto was, so having the motto was pointless.
@@aj.j5833 there are not "good guys" just multiple groups of scumbags whining about the other scumbags trying to call themselves good. If you think you are good... then you are definitely evil.
@@aj.j5833 For as long as the people who put the motto up were still at the company, they largely followed the motto. No huge corp is good but I would not have classified anything google did in those early days as "evil"
Once those people were gone, however, things turned south quickly. And they also took down the motto.
Another way of thinking of it might be: With the motto, they were aspiring to be better. Without the motto, they stopped bothering to try.
Nah I can't believe they sent you their legal teams. I swear their TOS applies at random intervals and 0% of the time for ads.
If we collectively can somehow manipulate the political climate to put youtube ads as a national security threaf, watch how fast youtube finally gets regulated and changed when it appears to threaten political agendas
They enforce it when it benefits them, not when it doesn't. Shocker
@@ambiarock590 Legally speaking, that actually makes their entire Terms of Service moot. Its the same logic as Copyright only with a ToS/EULA, it is not actually legally binding.
"Our ToS applies to this thing not even part of the RUclips environment."
@@JustAGooseman Technically, ToS/EULA are legally binding, as long as you actually press that "agree" button, as it all falls under contract law. But all the terms may or may not be enforceable.

When legal teams send out abusive letters that are clearly just an attempt at legal bullying and not well-founded arguments with merit, they should be liable for paying large fines to the targets of their legal bullying.
They should have lead delivered 🤷
If there was a specific legal issue, I think the letter would be specific about it.
From _this_ letter, I gather the specific issue is something _the data that may be gathered with RUclips API_ *is* the specific concern, and *they are afraid* to be _specific_ about the nature of the data, _perhaps_ because it would be damaging to reputation or market?
@@davidgoodnow269nah, the API issue is because Facebook used to share their API and various bots harvested all the data, remember when Zuckerberg got dragged into Congress?
It could potentially be considered fraud, which would make it a felony in many jurisdictions, but good luck enforcing
Its America.
You can't fine people for speech.......obviously.
So they ignored the initial response, so they could act like you didn't respond? That sounds like RUclips.
sounds like any tyrannical bureaucracy
Wait until they try to sue him and he presents to the judge that he never used their API. RUclips will get laughed out of court.

Utube suspended me also a few times for stating the obvious. They also told me that I needed to stand in the corner and that I was grounded for a day. They also told me that I had to go to my room and no dinner tonight.
I cant even remember the last time Google/RUclips did something that wasnt scummy.
I think opening the VP8/VP9/VP10 codecs (from On2) publically and as basis for AV1 may count. As for the youtube platform itself, they certainly seem enthusiastic about drawing ire.

@@kaibe5241 have they ever picked the right horse in these situations
Reminds me of that one scene in Demolition Man, where the cops are trying to arrest Wesley Snipes character "with a stern voice"
Unfortunately they have enough money to drag people thru the courts and run them dry of funds. Though scotus has been smacking the hands of big corps who do that.
The letter used "please" a lot and not "You are ordered to..."

Don't worry, if threats don't work, they will just bribe the fuck out of him. Maybe that's what he is secretly hoping for.
Google's just mad you solved a problem they created, rather than pay them to continue ignoring said problem. Their complaint is purely about money, and in a clear case of corporate narcissism, they think they can push you around using a TOS that doesn't apply to your app.
Give them hell.
RUclips is a giant vault of money hemorrhaging into a bottomless pit. they don't care about money, they care about the power youtube gives them.
"But but keeping our community safe :)"
I have no idea how that phrase even applies whatsoever. If anything, FUTO is the one keeping the community safe. Safe from RUclips.
TBH as a business RUclips can decide how it's content can be distributed because, they are doing the heavy lifting of storing trillions of hours of video, streaming all their content pretty seamlessly, with multiple data centers across the world. Grayjay is hitchhiking on RUclips amongst other platforms.
@@steamerSama RUclips is paying zero to the content creators. Any pennies paid out come from advertisers. So it is actually RUclips's platform monopoly which is profiting from creators, most of whom earn little to nothing from their labour.

This is what we get for allowing corporations to usurp the public square. The EULA boils down "Be grateful that I'll allow you to say what I like and what I profit from. I owe you nothing."
Wish RUclips would say which terms of service are being broken, and provide an example. The RUclips letter does not have actionable details.
It is like receiving a ticket from a traffic cop that says "Drive Better".
Exactly!!!!
They claim that by giving out details on exactly what is or is not allowed, it would allow people to "game" the system. The idea is fundamentally absurd - it presumes that the natural state of EVERYONE is to be in violation, and NOT committing violations is somehow dishonest or shady behavior, that strips the policy enforcer of rightful authority to act.
@@bergmanoswell879 The problem there is that such actions are a blatant attempt to game the system. How are you supposed to launch a proper legal argument when the opponent won't even tell you what their position actually is?

Thank you for your work!
Blackberry shows up, now you know RUclips is about to be told to fuck themselves.
I noticed the cat was sitting on the rimm of the chair.
Haha! Yeah, Blackberry wanders in as if to say "Don't worry, I've got this bro' 😀
At 7:32, is a gut punch "the shittier you will be treated". 😤
"The more you give of your self the more sh!tty you will be treated"
*And it cuts to an Amazon ad break* 😆

@MiniDevilDF,
@Luthiart, I will gladly suffer with some ads so Louis gets paid his 1/10th of a cent.
Why are you seeing ads? What are youtube ads? i Hear alot about those, but adblocker has been around for a while, right? Please install adblock, please. your time you spend in this heckhole will be so much better for you. Please, human, please.
@@dankyjoker I thought for awhile UBO was able to whitelist specific RUclips channels -- I would like that feature very much? But honestly the moments it takes me to report fake ads/scams isn't that much of a hassle when I watch the same stupid ad for the 10th time.
Plus if an ad pops up and I suddenly don't care about the content because of my microplastics riddled brain./ I close the tab.

When you said in my personal life***, that hit hard. Loyalty and respect isn’t in our culture anymore.
Spot on analysis, felt this coming on for a while myself. Too much is going the wrong way...
Funny how companies continue to not understand the Streisand effect. Without their letter I would not have learned of this nice tool you made!
Same! Definitely gonna check it out
Same here. Now I want to check it out.
Same, I'm very glad RUclips brought this great tool to my attention.
Wonder if it's a socioeconomic issue.
Same
isn't that funny that youtube thinks they can control things not under their terms of service.
reminds me of another evil that shan't be named here.
Lemme guess, it starts with A and rhymes with grapple.
Voldemort? lol
Goberment?
@@jakehero95as an artist there’s another company that starts with an A that comes to mind too
@@alexj-t2331 A company that DO BE like that, I take it.
Mr. Rossmann, you are my hero!!! You've come a long way baby, keep going! I percieve you are making a difference in the online world!
*The fact that pirated goods these days work better than bought one is telling about the days to come*
The youtube premium download issue is exactly why I stopped paying a subscription to YT Premium and Spotify!! I go on the road a lot outside of cell service. Multiple times I've had Spotify completely remove my downloads (well within the 30 day download expiration limit) for no reason while I am out. I have youtube premium yelling at me to connect to the internet to use my downloads fully defeating the purpose. I got fed up and ended up ripping all my liked songs on both platforms and throwing the mp3's into my phone.
Yeah the other issue is you pay but have the videos are just ads themselves. And then within the videos there's endless self-promotion, sponsored bits etc. so you're really only removing a fraction of the ads when you pay 13 bucks a month or whatever it is
Friggin' RUclips Podcasts app was the same damned thing. I would think I was downloading my podcasts to my phone, and it would still buffer and stop when I'd lose connection.
fun fact, the PSP and PSvita had a means to get around an always online connection. You payed for their service and you could access your games anywhere on the go, the licenses were timed and sure you couldn't always just play the game, a simple connection to the store after the expiration timer (most games I owned were a year) would renew that licenses again so it can be used offline again. Steam does something similar with the steam deck as I've never had to connect online with it once I installed the game.
@@zealstarwind Funny you mention the Vita, as Louis' point about "giving of yourself and being treated worse" applies to that now as well. I recently picked one up for ~$70 on eBay and after installing homebrew, there's no need to renew licenses for downloaded games.
yt-dlp
Saying the algorithm has a personality disorder was giving RUclips face. The fact that they had those 🎷 Bots for two years and a simple third party application could remove them, but their own algorithms couldnt, its a testimony of their commitment to the platform's community.
The community takes matters into its own hands as always.
@@SuperAgentAB
And then RUclips either permaban or shadowban these people with the potential of threatening legal repercussions because RUclips's executives and managers think they're always in the right.
Much love Mr. Rossman. You are a bad ass and do great things.
RUclips incorrectly telling you you're doing something wrong then not reading your response? That's so unlike them 🤔
I can't believe Google would do something like this, it's totally out of character! /S
I love how you made "I'll see you in my next video" sound like a threat directly aimed at RUclips.
Good luck to you, Louis! Something always seemed off with YT in general to be fair, so this does not come as a surprise.
After fighting with Google over a technical issue they had no idea how to solve for almost two years (still unsolved), I can't believe anyone at google/youtube has enough reading comprehension to manage a legal letter.
They don't it was written by a hired firm :p it's not native, they cant and never could
What's the tech issue?
@@vak2586I also want to know
That is why the hire 3rd party legal teams😂
The Legal Department of Google is the one thing they ensure works correctly, and without fault. Sadly their argument is complete nonsense, and they're incapable of understanding that.
RUclips’s download policy is BS. I download a lot of videos to watch in my down time when I work in remote areas with no service and I run into this unavailable without internet BS way to often.
There are other apps that facilitate downloads. Many seem to operate from China where they cannot agree to the TOS on a service banned in their country. Apps from China do not give two shakes about rules, TOS terms, or even copyright laws.
JDownloader 2 is a great piece of software. Downloads from sites that make is so hard to download stuff from their website.
Your fault for using RUclips
@@EbaniYou say… on youtube
But if you were to say, use a third party downloader, that just gives you the files, for free, would that work for you?
There's not only a bunch of websites that do it for you, but there's even programs, like yt-dlp, etc.
Hell, even VLC will let you download a youtube video.
It's simple. Just call them out on it. They will not remove such a big channel because they'll lose a ton of monetization more so than it's worth to go after you. Even if you are targeting their scam ads
Amen Brother. Keep up the good fight! Oohraah!!!
RUclips is turning into an HOA Karen. You know, threatning you, fining you, telling you what to do but you're not in the HOA and have never been.
I reported you for hate speech slur (karen). I think youtube will ban you too.
Ahh you r funny man/or woman ,your choice. Funny statement tho!
RUclips has been deleting a lot of my comments for no reason. They’re genuinely atrocious. Can’t wait for something better to come along.
Yeah, Google (and RUclips) was one of the rare mega-corporation that I respected in the past, for a few reasons... But in the last 5-10 years all that respect went completely down the drain. The censorship on RUclips, especially in the comment section, is really out of control. Sometimes here now it just feels like if I was living in a dictatorship like China or Russia. That's not normal...
A few years ago they started censoring anything that would look slightly like an insult between users, but now anything you write can be censored for absolutely no reason! I'm now regularly verifying my comments with a second account and probably between around 10% or 20% of my comments are not showing up to other people. (Depending on the subject and length of the comment.) I'm talking about comments that doesn't contain anything controversial, insults, urls or anything like that.
I had hope this could change back to how it was 10 years ago but I know the odds for this to be happening are pretty much none. Knowing how the system works now, I'll have to be extremely lucky if I can post this without having to do a dozen of modifications... lol
@@HrrrrrrrrrrengThere is a reason! You think for yourself. Lionel drugged Jeffery with LSD, why have the brain destroyed 😉.
Oh so even in the letters youtube sends they say you've violated our terms of service without providing any specifics lol.
They don't want to be specific, so they can get you from something completely different if you go to court, going like: oh, this? No, that letter was mistakenly written, we're getting you for this other thing instead...
I'm regularly banned on RUclips for allegedly violating their harassment policy. The most harassing thing I have said is that RUclips is liable for the harm caused by their pushing misinformation. My nephew died from sHLH after the jab, he was 22. My spouse had shingles, seizure and myocarditis after the jab. My daughter developed heart problems after the jab (now on beta blockers and being evaluated for POTS). My mother developed heart problems after the jab (now on beta blockers). My cousin developed heart problems after the jab. So I'm very interested in the misinformation RUclips has pushed.
So they can have extra time to work up a few lies
You violated the terms of service by violating the terms of service. Clear as mud.
Good luck to YT if this goes to court. No judge is going to accept a blanket accusation letter on its face. At Discovery the opposition can subpoena YT for specifics.
Same here in Germany, I answered some Comments on my videos, but it was deleted too.
Thank you Louis. Good luck in your future passions.
“We strive to keep RUclips a safe, responsible community and to encourage respect for the rights of millions of RUclips creators.”
Damn, my keyboard didn’t survive that coffee shower.
I haven't seen one free palestine video removed, let alone the account deleted. but god help you you mention a bathroom towel......
English Translation: "We're concerned people will leave the platform, and we'll make less money."
I have the same problem, people accusing me of deleting their comments and I never even seen them. Not in spam either, just gone. And the ones that are in spam, are something like "nice video, loved the premiere. See you on Monday!". I have to filter thru 300-500 comments every day, just to fish out those innocent comments from spam.
My comments have been getting shadow banned it seems recently, they'll show up in my post history but won't appear on the page, its awesome
@@shinyrayquaza9Ever since I've been pointing out Lionel drugged Jeffery with LSD. All my comments get wiped
@@shinyrayquaza9 Same
Nothing encourages engagement like the uncertainty if the essay you're writing about how the video you just watched has put you in a philosophical mood is going to be immediately deleted or not, let alone if anyone will read and relate to what you're writing.
@@shinyrayquaza9 I have also had this happening for the past few months.
We have needed something like this for a while. Thanks for doing this and standing up to Google.
3:53 I'm loving this response 😂The last sentence is just :chefs kiss:
This world revolves around hard labor does not pay off but crime does.
And streaming services have more or less forgotten that they only exist because they're marginally less annoying than pirating, and they're really pushing that border.
welcome to capitalism!
They pushed beyond that border already...
To the high seas!!!
A 35$ firestick can be jailbroken in 15 minutes with a RUclips guide. I have 3-4 in my house. Fuck subscription services
The problem is that streaming came to be owned and run by the same shenanigans that run cable TV, bringing all those detestable business practices with them: cutting backroom deals resulting in disappearing titles, treating customers as money to be pilfered (hiking prices), and (soon to come) booting customers off once the Chinese communist style social credit system is put in place. These are all signs of business chiefs being so out of touch with their customers that they're willing to attack them, and in many cases are doing so. It's not just social media doing this. Banks are doing it.
Only reason I ever made use of Netflix was the desire for higher bitrate video streaming.
Now that they no longer offer 90% of the content I enjoy, and keep cancelling projects I would be interested in, I cancelled my sub.
i have a immense respect for you, the fact you are willing to go toe to toe with youtube/google AND get laws passed.. is just... wow, i wish that others follow your example.
The man has courage.
If there was, we wouldn't be heading full steam towards a dystopia.
That's because he can't be bought or silenced. He has income outside of their control and that makes them very angry. Good.
AMEN!
You the man Louis. Dont let the man stick it to you. These companies nowadays are only driven by $$$. They could care less about their customers or creators. Keep up the good fight. We will all miss this channel if youtube has their way.
RUclips sending their lawyers to try to threat competition is borderline criminal.
Except it's not illegal in the US.
No... It's business as usual. This is how all businesses operate
Google and YT is now turning into Nintendo 2.0. They literally doing the same thing as Nintendo does in removing any mods from their platform
I don't often pay for apps.
I payed for yours.
Proudly and happily.

Thank you!

You're one of the real ones. Respect.
Yea that makes sense. I agree with you!!
RUclips Legal Team - Copy + Paste - throw money - make them waste money - win.
thats basicly how big corps opperate, they know they can bankrupt their opponet into settling. needs to be a fix to that kinda behavor but it likely wont happen unless its forced.
They will let Gemini handle the case.
1:04 I LOVE how they demand privacy and command him to delete any information gathered as if they are NOT the ones who do that TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
"That's our data, we stole it first!"
Typical corporate "do as I say not as I do".
Louis you’re a smart guy and I hear you all the way. I started to feel the same frustration with all these subscriptions services of today just increasing prices and reducing their package so drastically it’s a completely different service within a few years.
THANK YOU 🙏
Between this and previous accounts, I’ve been watching your channel for years and years…
The amount you’ve accomplished from right to repair to actually doing the repair and countless other items, THANK YOU for the LEGIT extra nudges to full on implosion to keep going and not give up on jack sh**..!
I hope to see you on here for longer, but will follow elsewhere, as who else is going to try and have any amount of dignity with peoples information, software, and devices?? Hell, goes far beyond just the digital realm..
I got add that I remembered also saving allowances for straight up buying and owning actual software.. always the same way growing up on computers since age 2 or whatever it might…. I remember when the first 16 bit color MacBook came out or the “high resolution” 256 grayscale CRT monitors as a kid.. and also playing with ResEdit.. haha, that the good stuff.. lol
😊
This will be delicious evidence of anti-trust violations if RUclips keeps this up.
Hahahahahaha you think the law is impartial and applied according to how it’s written hahahahahahaha! Big tech is an arm of the state, genius, there will never be any legal action taken against them so long as they continue to cooperate with glowies.
IEEE ,FTC, FCC. if anyone should have gotten pandemic money.. we need these groups succeeded 25yrs ago to protect the industry from what's Hattiesburg. But now the FCC has been infiltrated by the neo-progressives hellbent on taking away citizen ability to Communicate. Look up some of the latest laws
The way I see it, the more we develop technology, especially for communication, the more corporations strive to slow down and hinder progress in exchange for profits.
We are slowly going backwards because of corporate greed.
On certain fronts that's true, but it's also true that on others the contrary happens, AI is facing more backlash from the general population rather than from companies (or at least that's what I've seen so far).
Everyone just cares more about themselves rather than general progress, sadly.
@@Acuas nah, corporations are getting EXACTLY what they want with AI. the public was primed to hate it, and given lots of talking points on why its SO HECKIN DANGEROUS and why its only safe to have neutered subscription service only AI where it is all easily controlled by a few companies.
the manufactured outrage is being used to prevent free and open AI FOR ALL levelling the playing field. instead it will screw over everyone but the highest, and the artists and AI safety decriers will get thrown under the bus the second they stop being useful. so instead of EVERYONE having AI to create with, only a few will have unlimited access. its not 12d chess, there was always going to be some outrage as there is with anything c*ntroversial, its just matters what gets "signal boosted" to the masses, meanwhile the opposite view will never see the light of day.
Slowly?? We are basically stagnating, and the government doesn't help either
@Acuas IA is not being used useful either. Every IA tool comes with a huge price, and it doesn't even do the thing you'd expect. Even chat GPT isn't very useful unless you pay for it. This shoulve been the thing that could propell society into the future, but again, it's being used for money
@@xaviermontalban717 But it needs to grow and be perfected before is trully usefull, and all tech is perfected because of money first, or war if we look back, so I don't see a problem there.
