If Google’s going to be further tightening YT to the degree where they might roll out DRM platform-wide as opposed to just limiting it to movies on the platform, I’m about to seriously start looking for stuff to watch on PeerTube because YT is not long for the world and will probably start pushing away anything that isn’t AI slop at some point in terms of content.
UPDATE: A workaround has been released for this issue.

DFX4509Bto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content. Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"English2·10 days agoSlope’s Game Room is about to lose his channel over ‘hate speech’ that isn’t even his. One more reason for me to not post any future video content to YT if I ever seriously get into making vids and instead just posting everything to PeerTube where it at least isn’t in danger of getting nuked because Google got pissed at me.
Update: he got to keep his channel. Still one more reason to not put any future content on YT should I pick up video content creation though.
DFX4509Bto Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube relaxes moderation rules to allow more controversial content. Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"English16·6 days agoHow long before Google locks YT down to loading only on Chrome, and only on Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, or Android, and only without ad blockers of any kind, including hardware ad blockers like PiHole being implemented anywhere, and straight-up blocking it from loading at all on non-Chrome browsers (to also include other Chromium browsers) and on Linux or iOS, and enforcing TPM2 and SecureBoot mandates for authentication, and blocking downloading and re-uploading of YT vids, using DRM?
Basically, I wouldn’t put it above them to ensure their video platform only runs on their browser, and only on hardware that they deem worthy of running it, even if it means somehow implementing a Vanguard-style rootkit. Something else I wouldn’t put it past Google to try, is completely discontinuing the YT browser client and fully locking the API down to the official app, and still implementing a Vanguard-style rootkit on that.

Videos are allowed if "freedom of expression value may outweigh harm risk"English15·12 days agoI still wouldn’t trust Google not to nuke my channel on a whim even in spite of those relaxed moderation rules. What’s stopping a little bribe from the right company or political party from causing them to backpedal or even tighten their grip further?
This is why one should at least mirror their content to PeerTube or a similar alternative platform like that even if they’re not going to just outright post future content to said alternative and give up on YT altogether.
Musk as Lex Luthor would be a better fit, and even that might be insulting to Luthor.

That’s going to discount most of the camera market if not the entire camera market then because Sony makes basically everyone’s imaging sensors, plus a large portion of the anime genre given that company bought out Funimation.

Too bad this probably still won’t drive people to other platforms.
