Where’s that music coming from? 🤔

[Image ID: There are three images. The first one is similar to a title card and shows a screenshot froom the show supernatural. Dean and Castiel stand facing each other. The screenshot is faded and superimposed with a blue background from a news show. In the front is a logo which says 'Destiel News Channel'. The second is a screenshot of Castiel from the same confession scene. At the bottom is a headline which reads 'Irish Unification?' and a subline which says 'Let's hope this Star Trek prediction comes true'. The top right corner shows a screenshot from Star Trek. It shows Data (an android in a yellow uniform with pale skin) talking to Picard, who is wearing a red uniform and is shown from behind. Subtitles read 'the Irish Unification of 2024,'. The third image is a screenshot of Dean from the same scene edited so that a text looking like subtitles spells out 'I love you'. /End ID]

Happy New Year y'all!

What do you mean your favourite YouTube channel doesn't include a guy cursed by a witch to tell five puns each day or die, an asexually reproduced grandson of the judge from Ace Attorney and a powerful fantasy person Isekai'd into becoming an attorney + Twitch Streamer?

I'm making a new post because I think this is genuinely a predatory practice under the guise of stopping AI

Today I received an email from youtube stating this

This seems to tell me that I am losing access to a handful of features such as pinning comments on my videos or embedding links in the descriptions of my videos for one of 2 reasons. Either I don't have sufficient channel history or I have violated a community guideline.

To my knowledge, I haven't broken any guidelines, as I have received no warnings. As for channel history, I have been using the same account since July 7 of 2013 and began regularly uploading to this channel on August 30 of 2024.

So, I decided to look into this further, and this is what I have found.

Under the settings of youtube studio in the "Future Eligibility" section, I was able to find the full list of what these "Advance features" really are.

This includes things such as appealing content ID claims, daily upload amounts, testing different thumbnails, and even your eligibility to apply for monetization.

Now, I can fully understand putting these systems in place to stop the increase in AI channels and content. However, I do not know if this is even the case, as this is what one person told me in a discord server I talked about this in. So I may very well be wrong. However, if this not related to stopping AI, then this is even worse.

In order to access the advance features, you need to do one of the following

either take a 6 second video of yourself, take a photo of your ID or build 2 months worth of channel history. Now, we already established that my channel has existed and been uploading longer than 2 months, so this must mean 2 months from NOW.

Now, while that is annoying, but the other 2 options are downright predatory. They want a photo of your ID that they say they will keep until one of the following.

Either 2 years has passed

Or you meet the 2 months of channel history.

So this means Youtube will have a photo of YOUR ID for a MINIMUM of 2 months.

Now you might be thinking, "Well why not choose the video instead."

Because that is just as sinister when you look into what exactly they are requesting.

They want you to follow the prompts you are given to get a full view of your face. Something that, at least to me, seems very similar to collecting facial information to build a database. Especially because they want you to do things like looking up or down, therefore getting a better look at your face.

This is BEYOND unfair to small channels. This is downright predatory behavior. Under no circumstances should youtube be requesting anyone's ID or videos of their face in order to prove anything. At BEST this is a horrible attempt to root out AI channels and content in order to get rid of them. However, with the current climate of America and the interests of big businesses as a whole, I find it much more likely they are trying to gather more personal data from it's users. For what purpose, I don't know, but this is disgusting nonetheless.

Please, I know I am just a nobody online, but this NEEDS to be seen by more people.

This cannot be tolerated.

i do genuinely wanna archive all the ii livestreams they did especially cuz the only avaliable versions for a few of them are Reuploads on random people's channels but also. the amount of storage space that would require would be CRAZY. i was thinking of maybe using an external hard drive but idk they're expensive and uploading all of them would take sooo long 😭 right now im just praying none of the videos randomly get removed

“Only 0.003% of channels on YouTube have over a million subscribes, and Youtube told us just 1.3000 in the UK.”

In hilarious IT news today:

We have to do the annual phishing training at work. IT sent out an email notifying everyone that the training would be coming from a third party and gave us the name of the company.

The company's email looked so sketch that several people reported it to IT for a possible phishing attempt. Personally, I think everyone who reported does not need to go through the training again.

so i’ve been researching amateur (ham) radio and how radio technology works, because autism, and there’s a great youtube channel that explains lots of radio and electronics basics. what i can’t get over though is how the channel’s main narrator, one mr. paul denisowski, sounds juuust like data from star trek, and it’s making the entire learning experience extremely surreal. the further i get into each video, the more he sounds like data, and as a result, i’ve never wanted to learn about vhf wave propagation more in my life. zero complaints. star trek data is my free personal radio tutor now. i wish he could teach me everything

"Marsha?... 'Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!' 😜" ok Benson, we get it. Before your Ma got laid up at home you were a latchkey kid and regularly skipped class and sat at home watching reruns on TBS of The Brady Bunch and also probably other shows like The Munsters and The Beverly Hillbillies.

Ash and Ranma decide to train together and swap notes, having become interested in learning more about each-other's fighting styles after their duel during the Escape Crew's attack. Things quickly take a turn for the looney when Daffy catches wind of their plans and decides to join in with his own extremely unconventional style, whether they want him to or not.

Meanwhile, Tulip and Shantae help Alice set up her human-based model, now that she's got enough processing power for her projector to render it.
