Popular Tech Youtuber Enderman loses his YouTube channel after AI error

I've been watching him since I think 2020. He made some of the best tech content of YouTube and I've never seen another individual have more knowledge of Windows internals than him. He was accused by Youtube in the past many times for spreading viruses in the description of some of his videos.

This time it was a copyright violation of some random Japanese channel, with no relation to his channel. It is very possible this error was made by the new AI YouTube copyright detection bots.

Please help spread this. RIP Enderman 2016-2025

UPDATE: The channel is back up again.

I don't know if that is a problem. If a human does dumb things he will be fired. If a computer/algorithm /Ai does it, it will be removed.

I think it has more to do with human costs (salary) vs the cost of brand damage (youtube).

nogooduser@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 288d

They spent billions of dollars to develop and train the AIs that they use. They’re not going to remove it for fucking up someone’s YouTube channel.

They wouldn’t remove it even if it caused someone’s death (which it probably has considering that they have been shown to be very bad at therapy and that people go to them for therapy).

Most "bypasses" are using admin tools and commands to keep accounts in company or local for enterprises. Its hardly hacking. Microsoft just wants to forcibly inflate their registration numbers. Same thing with one drive, the start menu pulling bing content... Etc.

Its gonna get worse faster as people bail on the eroding enshitified os... Making them try to forcibly lock in other people on the platform harder.

Related: DRM and piracy. The more invasive it got - the worse it was for paying customers... While the DRM would be stripped out by the pirates. You'd think they'd know better.

1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 288d (1 reply)

i think the real answer is just to not install windows 11 and install linux instead.

Right there with you. A fair number of companies are as well. Unfortunately not all software is "uniformly supported" so its really a mixed bag when it comes to who can flip the switch and who can't.

There's a lot of costs to consider as well.

All said - it says a lot when companies are willingly taking that plunge just to shed micro$ofts shit.

mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de · 68 pts · 288d (16 replies)

Yeah. Reddit is technologically very bland. It's "easy" to make a Reddit clone - the community is what makes it tick. But YouTube needs crazy levels of infrastructure to provide the full experience that it does. When Reddit collapses there's places to migrate to. But if YouTube collapses it's just a loss.

njordomir@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 288d

Not to mention you can fit more Reddit on a 1TB hard drive than YouTube, which makes it much easier to exfiltrate content.

On the other hand, maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once...

kadu@scribe.disroot.org · 18 pts · 288d (9 replies)

maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…

It won't. Look at Mastodon vs Bluesky and Threads. Mastodon already existed, already worked well, had more features and was federated. People still chose Bluesky, which is just Twitter 2.0 owned by the same corporate douchebags.

People CRAVE the system.

echodot@feddit.uk · 18 pts · 287d (5 replies)

You say that like that's actually true.

The real reason that people go to bluesky over Mastodon has nothing to do with "The System™", it's because the Mastodon onboarding process is incomprehendibly awful. It's far worse than Lemmy, which itself is pretty terrible. The refusal to introduce an algorithm isn't pro-consumer it's just hostile to the non-terminally online. If a service isn't easy to use it won't be used. This isn't a revolutionary concept.

KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 287d

The main bluesky feed is also chronological, however, it has a desperate discover feed which is algorithmic (I think mastodon might have that as an option now?)

kadu@scribe.disroot.org · -2 pts · 287d (2 replies)

Oh sure! People don't crave the system, Mastodon is just bad!

Hey, what's the non-corporate alternative to a service that took over the world with consumers then? I mean, if the system is not the problem and people just hate Mastodon in particular, I'm sure you'll have plenty of examples to share.

echodot@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 287d (1 reply)

Yeah bluesky, news flash, most people don't care about corporations they just want a product that isn't a headache to use. The fact that you're responding to that knowledge with hostility rather than trying to address the problem is exactly the attitude Mastodon has, which is exactly why no one uses it

Idiot tech bros assuming that the rest of the population should have to wade through molasses, just because it's how they like it, and everyone else is just stupid for refusing to deal with it.

kadu@scribe.disroot.org · -1 pts · 287d

So you can't provide any examples? Got it.

Allero@lemmy.today · 11 pts · 287d (1 reply)

People don't crave the system, they rather come to places that are advertised to them.

What they crave is:

  • Easy onboarding without figuring out what is an "instance" (a concept entirely unknown to them), and which instances are good vs bad for them;
  • A trusted place that won't become unavailable or buggy because an admin is performing an update or screwed something up or decided they don't want to do this anymore;
  • Some sort of algorithm to filter out crap out of their feed (not having any algorithm is often not good);
  • Having their favorite creators and friends on the platform (which, again, boils out to advertising for a large part);

etc.

Fediverse as a whole and Mastodon in particular is yet to answer to a lot of these challenges.

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 128d

mastodon literally has all 4 but go off i guess?

njordomir@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 287d

Every cycle of enshittification sends more people looking for alternatives. Remember the rebirth of "piracy" which streaming had all but killed for the most normal normies? People crave the system, but it's possible they'll slowly come around. Will it be fast enough. That's for us to find out. I gently encourage people to think about more than just tomorrow because that short term proprietary bullcrap isn't worth it in the long term. Definitely hear you though and it does feel that uphill sometimes.

See, I've been wanting to make a post about Windows 11 suddenly being like

and I needed the video to provide more context. I guess the Wikipedia article could be enough but it obviously doesn't show screenshots.

Overall, localization on Windows has gotten worse, there are context blunders that wouldn't have happened in XP days.

The_Decryptor@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 287d

They've released at least one screenshot, but since they mostly use it for internal testing, and they very rarely ever release those builds, there's not much to go on.

So builds they didn't intend to release provide the best insight.

Now I've only ever used the English releases, but I know before Vista that this simply wasn't a thing. Each language release was a separate build, handled separately by different teams. So there was never a mixing of languages or loading strings at runtime, they were hardcoded into the binaries that shipped on disk.

semperverus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 287d

My guess is that because English is such a mish-mash of other languages and has a lot of contradictory rules, the double-o in loose is how most people would guess the way to spell the "o" sound in lose. To people who haven't been told otherwise, lose probably sounds similar to hose or dose in their heads and "oo" looks more correct despite being wrong.

I mean, the notice says that the other channel was terminated so I don't think you'll be able to find it on YouTube still.

Mk23simp@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 21 pts · 288d (6 replies)

Heh, I know what Star Rail is. Specifically, Honkai Star Rail, one of the biggest gacha games. It's a turn based RPG, like Raid: Shadow Legends but anime and with way more production value.

gatcha games are trash. its just another form of gambling.

Mk23simp@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 288d (3 replies)

Gacha games are indeed gambling. If you consider all gambling to be irredeemable, then calling them trash as a whole is reasonable I guess.

However, it is inaccurate to say that gacha games as a whole are just gambling. They have other qualities as well, with varying levels of investment and care put into them. Sometimes the effort they put into everything else is minimal and they are basically just gambling with a thin veneer of game on top. Other times, they put an absurd amount of investment into the game, story, and music.

MiHoYo, the developer of HSR (along with Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero) are the later type. MiHoYo has more money than God, and it shows in their investment into their games. Their games are absurdly high-effort productions with more polish than any AAA game studio. They also have very good LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent rep, especially considering they're based in China.

Personally, I am very averse to risk and uncertainty. I dislike the gambling aspect of gacha games (not just on principle, but also in my enjoyment). However, I still play some gacha games because I enjoy other aspects of them. So they're not just gambling. But they are gambling, and it's fair if people avoid them for that reason (especially people prone to problem gambling).

That is totally fair. That's your preference.

Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it · 1 pts · 287d

Thought not all games require you to pay.

I play Zenless Zone Zero when i am bored and with nothing else to do, never spent a cent and the game is very balanced about the gacha aspect and has a pity system, also, the story is fairly good and you can play without strong characters

Dreaming_Novaling@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 288d

Some are very easy to play without spending any sort of money, and there's several that have pity systems in which you're guaranteed to get what you're pulling for, so at least they're slightly better than gambling. But yes, I won't deny they're predatory, but I've managed to make my gacha journey without spending a penny across the 20+ gacha games I've played and dropped for a little over a decade now.

Not all of them have great stories, especially the older games which focused on collecting rather than story content, but within the past few years we've gotten great ones that have long arcs that are actually interesting, especially if the game has side lore that you can read about.

I get that a gacha isn't going to be as good as the average game, but when you've only got a few mins to play something and you're out and about, they're nice.

Isn't it saying that Enderman's channel was linked (involved with, co-run by, some other AI based bullshit, etc) to a channel that had copyright strikes, and that the Japanese channel was the one with copyright strikes?

Yes, is basically accusing Enderman's channel of ban evasion.

lechekaflan@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 287d

Channel got killed because of misdirected machine logic.

What's worse is that for years YT stopped using human intervention/moderation and instead relied on some bunch of bots and a handful of third-party IP bounty hunters (like "Remove Your Content.com") to carry out copyright enforcement. Meanwhile, almost everyday there's Elsagate content churned out by the ton.

Is YouTube trying to hide behind AI? Like removing videos and channels, throwing it to AI.

Google like many companies are looking at AI like the next slave trade. Free labor that doesn't need sleep, ask for wage increases, or have rights. There's a reason so many companies are trying to brute force AI right now. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out why humanoid robots are being developed.

Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser and suddenly went from an efficient browser to dogshit tier right next to edge. If I need to about: config AND look up how to disable some garbage a dev shoehorned in... I'll spend that time downloading a browser that doesnt forget its only job is to render the thing I clicked on as quickly and efficiently as possible. If I want something more I'll use an add-on.

I hate AI and refuse to interact with it. Your statement is false. They didn't sneak anything in - they openly added a feature that lets you connect an AI assistant of choice, or with a single click, disable it entirely.

Reygle@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 288d (1 reply)

I would argue that they did in fact "sneak" Perplexity address bar search into the brower just weeks ago.

You know- you do you, yadda yadda

FosterMolasses@leminal.space · 1 pts · 287d

Absolutely correct.

My initial reaction to it was akin to malware.

Don't add random extensions to my browser without my permission.

You wouldn't do this for any other app or add-on, which immediately hits you with the dialogue window asking if you accept certain permissions after you've already consented by clicking the download button.

yggstyle@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 287d

When a patch rolls a feature in and has it on by default (see many articles about people having issues with runaway processor usage)... I'd consider that as close to sneaking as one can.

With regard to the "switch" - that's what I thought too. I was mistaken. There's quite a few flags to set in about: config. That was what pushed me over the edge. Its a good piece of software. Its a shame they made that choice and shipped it in the way they did.

C'est la vie. Every so many years a browser fucks up and sees a steady exodus to another. I have no allegiance to any of these corporations... If it works - I'll use it. If it doesn't I'll find something else that does. If nothing else does... I'll go without. Hard pass.

I think its high time people started leaning into becoming digital nomads again. These corporations are far to comfortable fucking with their userbase.

calcopiritus@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 287d

The problem is not the AI integration. Along with AI integration they changed their stance on data selling.

It went from "We promise to never sell your data" to "Firefox is secure!" Just as they were adding AI.

yggstyle@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 286d

Sure. That's fine. Get paid. Devs need to eat (I sure do.)

Did it have to be opt out? Did some of the settings need to be buried in about: config? Its not even remotely a shock to any internet denizen that AI isn't openly loved by all. Put simply they opted to act first and apologise later. Actions have consequences. They likely had meetings and decided the money was worth upsetting people like me who would react negatively. I'm simply fulfilling my part of the equation.

They earned my trust and patronage by being more secure and faster - and principally "less evil" than the other guy.

And they lost it doing this.

Unless they start embedding the ads directly into the video stream, they'll never be able to block adblocks - updating your extensions will work.

Unless I misunderstanding, perhaps you could inform me?

But doesn't an individual have to set up an instance of their own peet tube and then host for you? So I would be looking at maybe 8 view per year?

thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 284d (1 reply)

No, it's like Lemmy, you sign up to an instance and can post on it, and your channel is visible on the whole federated network.

And if PeerTube grows, the "Peer" aspect will be very significant. Basically it's a torrent and the instance is always seeding, and while other users are watching, you will be sending them data and recieving data from them, lightening load on the instance. It's a simple and clever system. You can turn the torrent feature off in case you need to hide your IP address.

boonhet@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 287d

YouTube's replacement would have to come from Amazon, Microsoft or Oracle. Maybe Netflix - they use AWS for their backend, but have their own CDN.

And that's just to compete on a technical level with the content distribution network. There's also the whole issue of fighting a long time incumbent.

Peertube is neat, but it will never compete with YouTube.

So. I got my Facebook profile back after a year. Because I remembered my customer URL. I paid for a check mark and they reactivated it after I paid for the extended support service. If you’ve lost your Facebook in the past. Definitely try it out. I made a mean joke about fighting some confederate profile calling for a civil war. I told them if they tried fighting the USA. I would gladly meet them in the field of battle and take care of business. Whoooooopsie. Don’t feed the Ai bots. Learned my lesson.
