Why is it a big deal? Don’t you agree with Linus that clickbait is just part of the game, and we should accept the sensational thumbnails and titles? Hate the game, not the player and all that?

    I don't think it's clickbait. if you made a company angry, it's not that hard to get another 2 strikes too now that they are watching more closely, and it's very hard if not impossible to get back a channel from that.

    So it was strike 1? And wasn’t strike 3 and the deletion is pending? It’s not the worst stretch of things, but it’s stretching it a little unless the deletion is pending.

    I don’t think your perspective is invalid tho.

    afaik (but take it with a grain of salt) at 3 strikes the decision is not pending but automatic, and very hard to reverse, partly because kost of decision making at youtube has been automatic for a long time, and just like with google they don't have a support channel (that is easy to find and reach)

    Just because it's being normalized by the Linuses and Tech Jesuses on youtube doesn't mean we shouldn't call it what it is.

    This video is click bait and the content is rather mid. We're clearly supposed to feel some kind of outrage over a freedom of press kinda thing, but in reality the video is more like: waaah our ad revenue took a hit on this one video because of Big Evil Company abusing the copyright claim system, NOT FAIR! (Ignoring that this has been happening hundreds if not thousands of times per day for over a decade to much smaller channels than GamersNexus, without a peep from Tech Jesus on the issue).

    I’m actually on your side. I was bringing up those questions to question why they would get upset with be gently applying clickbait label.

    Usually fans of these channels fall in line with the rhetoric.

    But once again, I tried a conversation style that failed when I didn’t get a response from who I was talking to, and I got downvotes.

    sorry, not everyone is browsing lemmy as if it was a full time job. also I'm not a fan of them in that sense. Maybe I have watched 3 of their videos and even that was years ago. I just understand that copyright strikes are very dangerous even for a big channel like that, because independently of how many videos you have, it's always only 3 strikes you need to get your channel deleted, and if they are mad and start looking it could easily happen.
