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.
So who’s the YouTube replacement. Those guys are doing a good job at making people upset. Big tech needs to get taken down a few notches.
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.
closest we got is Peertube.
Never heard about him
UPDATE 2: Enderman’s channel was restored.
At this point I feel like we should have a website and community that coordinates with all youtubers to collectively move together in waves. To have them exist on multiple platforms until everyone is firmly on a few other ones
To Vanillo, PeerTube, & Glomble (When it is fixed and overhauled)
There’s no fucking way Glomble is the real name of a video platform.
Nebula as well
Popular youtuber “looses” channel after AI error

It is very possible this error was made by the new AI YouTube copyright detection bots.
This is clickbait.
Youtube is trying to purge it’s own community
Much like Reddit.
Ai froze an important work excel sheet saying it violated tos. It was an EXCEL sheet SHARED at work BY work… Eventually it came back on… Ai sucks
This is too insane to leave out details! What happened???
important work Excel sheet
Hopefully your boss understands why they shouldn’t rely on MS software as a result
youre funny
Encourage them to switch to Onlyoffice
That is the only real solution. Get people on board one by one.
Meet them where they are at
Excel has AI now?
Haven’t seen it on whatever version I use.
Yeah, it’s useless as it doesn’t know how tonuse excel functions, so it just Google’s the answer and gives you whatever came back. It might be the right function, but if it is, it’s a tossup
i downloaded one of his videos to archive, just in case.
I have a feeling that the YouTube apocalypse will be much harder to watch (as in “more sad/unpleasant”) than the Reddit apocalypse.
Antitrust Google. Fork YouTube as part of it. All existing content must be preserved. Remove YouTube’s ability to sell licensed content (cable TV channels, music, on demand). YouTube can then be purchased or spun off as a “YOU Tube” again - content made by people for people. Brand saved, community focused. Monetization heavily regulated (governance or internal governance, but just make it a requirement.)
Or just let it burn and replace it with something else. Video’s just super-expensive to host and provide, probably by design to keep others out of the market.
Coming back to reality, it’s not going to happen.
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.
Not to mention you can fit more Reddit on a 1TB hard drive than YouTube, which makes it much easier to exfiltrate content.
But in either case there’s massive value in the existing content that would be lost.
I’m sure some of those creators will try to take their content other places
On the other hand, 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.
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.
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.
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?)
Waiting for my account to be approved on awoo.chat took a good week and a half, but I guess it’s on me for trying to find an instance that caters to me (SFW-preferring furry)
Still waiting for a way to see other people’s posts when now one follows them yet
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.
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.
So you can’t provide any examples? Got it.
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.
Looks like the great purge of knowledge has begun… A long, long time ago, and now we’re knee deep in it.
There is so much link rot, I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the content on the internet has now vanished or become inaccessible
on youtube? mostly astroturfed by right wing content and comments about woke-ism, pseudoscience, plus influencers that are POS behind the scenes. while burying actual smaller content creators to the point of oblivion, i asian ytoubers i used to followed are rightfully buried for turning magaty during the pandemcic, these are the people they shouldved buried.
I would be more upset about this sort of shit happening to youtube about 10 or 15 years ago. If i need some information and theres a youtube video on it, the info is usually around 8 minutes in to a 30 minute video where they give shit loads of guff that nobody needs to know while telling you to smash that like button, hit the subscribe it really helps out the channel so if you like the content can you please subscribe dont forget to subscribe if you wanna see the channel grow then press subscribe dont miss a video by pressing subscribe I need you to subscribe here’s the information I promised but dont forget to subscribe hit that subscribe button if this helped you then leave a comment and dont forget to subscribe and like this video if you want to see more like this.
Just install sponsor block. It’s the only way to make YouTube bearable.
What kind of absolute dog water content do y’all watch where pressing the 5 second skip button isn’t good enough?
Yeah, I was wondering if there was enough content on Nebula to make it worthwhile to pay. A lot of my favorite channels do this and it’s getting old. I understand this is how they make money, but that doesn’t mean I’m obligated to watch it. I can just move along.
I remember when you used to be able to just enter the Wadsworth constant in the URL and it would jump you right to the good stuff
I’m high and I don’t know what this means but it sounds absolutely fantastic.
Wadsworth Constant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadsworth_constant_deviation_system
I think you meant this: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-wadsworth-constant
nah I was being silly.
check out the sponser block extension. i stopped using the app on mobile just to use the extension on firefox
deleted by creator
Looks like it’s up again. https://youtube.com/@andrewman
I think the one that was blocked was https://www.youtube.com/@Endermanch (but they’re both up now).
There is a video on the main channel were he talks about his terminated second channel, Andrew. https://youtu.be/v32gdnhAlFI
ai has lots of problems, but lack of accountability is one of the big ones
Idk man, I can nuke an LLM model I deployed pretty easy, but it’s pretty hard to hold C-suite types accountable unless you’ve got a green hat.
“Therefore a computer is ideally suited to making management decisions”
More like…AI’s primary purpose is to provide an unaccountable excuse to fire people and keep wages down.
?
This is Google, they’ve been unaccountable for 2 decades.
i doubt anyone would be held accountable at youtube/ youtube itself really even if it were not AI…
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).
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).
The ”C” in “AI” stands for “competence”.
The ‘A’ stands for Ain’t
AI = Ain’t Intelligent
Their joke but worse
That’s the joke…
WHAAAAT? NO WAY!
Are you trying to become Captain Obvious? Because that’s MY JOB!
He will probably be back in a few days.
