Dear YouTube: Go Suck A Bag of Dicks!

in #dtube6 years ago


Hey guys!

So as I was going through my email today, I got a notification from YouTube that one of my completely harmless, practically no-views videos had been blocked. It's sooooo dumb. Their over-reaching policy agreements with copyright holders are insane, and if they don't figure out some alternatives, they are clearing, practically paving the way for platforms like Dtube to take over.

I believe copyright laws are going to have to change drastically in the near future to accommodate the blockchain and its permanency. It won't be quite as easy to just "take something down" and what are they going to do? Sue every single person who records a cover without the permission of a record label?

On top of that, record labels are dying. A lot of artists don't even use them anymore. They just produce their own records and have their own followings. Many artists make enough money doing this that they never even have to go mainstream. It's a brave new world out there with artists, and I think this is just the beginning.

In the meantime Youtube, suck it and you can go eat a bag of dicks for blocking my harmless cover after demonetizing my account, ya pricks!

Anyway, sorry this is so salty! Love ya guys!!!

xx~Beth

Suck a bag of dicks for sure. This is why I am so hesitant to even cover a song and put it on the internet if it even has the chance to make any amount of money, because I'm afraid these people are going to take it to the next level and come after me for money even if it's $0.12. Call me paranoid, but really it's just I don't want to deal with b*******. I don't want to be annoyed to where I have to send somebody some money.

I know it is frustrating. Sadly I lack a knack for songwriting so covering songs is kind of my bread and butter, but I definitely haven't been doing it much lately.

Haha there aren't enough lawyers. Not even in the US...

Yes, yes and FUCK YES! FUCK GOOGLE TUBE!
GoogleTube is SUBVERTING THE 1st by slashing Right wing vids & channels LEFT & RIGHT.
If the 1st falls... the 2nd isn't far behind.
Stop allowing yourselves to be distracted by the Communist News Network blinding bias driven propaganda donkey show. Stop & think for yourselves. Do your own research, get off your asses and at least listen to the other side. Shed the Google tinfoil hat & try alternate search engines. We're all Americans & we're all in this together.
If you already value the Right To Defend please disregard that last paragraph. You already know.

Absolutely agree. Of course they are a private business and can censor what they like, but that's why decentralization will soon reign.

I have to agree with you. YouTube isn't going to have much life left in it if they keep treating the content creators like they have been.

They have shut out all the smaller creators and are censoring the larger ones so now everyone is moving to DTube. Sooner are later YouTube will be a ghost site like "MySpace" is today.

I think it will be a while before that happens, but I do think it is inevitable. Though, unlike on Dtube, you can still monetize via ads on YouTube right now, and there is very little money to be made on Dtube without a major upvote, so until Dtube and Steemit begin to implement ad revenue, I think YouTube will still be the go-to!

Yeah YT sucks!!

YIO = YouTube is Over .

Ooo I need to like, have that put on a t-shirt or bumper sticker or something!

Praise the free market, freedom of speech shall prevail. Fuck the large cooperations who think they have unlimited power. Sorry about your video being blocked but, whatever. At least you're established a bit over here!

Yeah, this is definitely not a terrible place to be established for the future! That's for sure!

I couldn't agree more. In addition to everything else the bull regulations they imposed this past January in order to keep accounts monetized is just insane. I'm waiting for YouTube to die because all they're doing is pushing away small creators while letting the big ones get away with whatever racist and other bad behavior they feel like with just a slap on the wrist :/

Right, I bet if a small channel did have the crap Logan Paul did the channel would be terminated.

I loved this video Beth! I couldn't have said it better myself :D

I'm so glad! Yeah, I really like the term "bag of dicks"! It's perfect for YouTube!

love you beth for your post. do you have the guts to put a video like this on youtube? thats strike number 2 and then you're just 1 way from La La land

We shall see how long it lasts!

YouTube in general has fallen in quality over the years. It used to be a lot of fun, people could make funny or entertaining videos and become famous overnight. Now it's all about the algorithm and promoting already established content.

I agree. I hate having to worry about all that. I wish it was just upload quality content and be done with it!

My YouTube channel never got a strike for anything, with a good history dating back to 2011, I made some money, not a lot of money, but still made some... Then YouTube completely demonetized me for not having enough subscribers... Indeed YouTube can go suck a bag of dicks!

That is what happened to our non-profit. We even had a video that got 150k views, but we were just under the 1k subscribers and just got cut off from monetization. I don't understand how this builds any kind of community. It's ridiculous. But, I guess that's not the intent. The only thing YouTube cares about is the almighty dollar.

Indeed, and apparently the dollar from large companies is more almighty to them than all the dollars they made with small content creators.

It's been said before, and I guess it will be said again, they would rather recycle clips from the Tonight Show with official permission from NBC, becoming a sort of discount Netflix, as opposed to a place where creators could be free to be unique and speak their minds.

I think it was TJ Kirk that said (and I might not get the quote exact) "YouTube would rather be the next Netflix, than the 1st YouTube".
I thought it kind of sums up how YouTube failed to live up to what they could have been.

Ooo that's a great quote. So so true. It's too bad no one wants to pay for something that used to be free!

Cool video Beth, I'm also interested to see how the shift of power will occur as time goes on and block-chain helps breakup a lot of the bottlenecks that currently exist within many industries. And honestly as a world we need that, there are plenty of resources to go around but they're all being hoarded by a few. A world where more people can do what they love and a make a sustainable income at it as opposed to a few exploiting others and making an exponentially large amount sounds wonderful.

Yes, there is so much to go around. Sadly, even on this platform, people are still trained in scarcity...so we have a long way to go before we realize that the new world that's coming will absolutely have enough.

Youtube, the new MTV!!! 🙃🙃🙃

We wouldn't be having this argument over intellectual property if Thomas Jefferson had won the argument that only tangible things can be property. It seems he lost because of the need to make money on ideas and not to become the victim of stolen ideas. But it seems we will be going back into the direction of intellectual property becoming more open. It turns out that ideas have more value when they are open source and not controlled.

Patrick and I were just talking about that yesterday. I was explaining that more things are going to be open source, and that with the dying out of necessity for monetary compensation for everything, the world may very well become more collaborative in ideas, music, programs, etc. At the very least copyright law will look much different, if it even will exist at all!

take about it? there is something to learn. And i have learn it.
thank you very much for you wonderful post.

your work is really good .. i like ponting mu..salam from shintamonica

This shirt was actually inspired during a bout when two skaters lovingly exchanged motivational quips back and forth.

your post all so good. i like it@bethwheatcraftDQmYfKYGX2M8Qc8nNUi6TqUzHKoeLmafZ6PVBMjt7wjXe5R.gif

Reading your Thumbnail and realizing the CEO of Youtube is Female I am wondering if she does suck a bag of dicks or any dicks really. Do you think her husband Dennis Troper knows if she sucks that many dicks wait I wonder what the routine is maybe she beat you to the punch and is many dicks ahead of the game she is pretty high up the ladder. Maybe there's video that would be ironic. Wait she has 5 kids. I wonder if they know. She does have a pretty wide throat.

Pretty sure that throat would seem loose to a horse. :p

She must have a fairly wide everything with 5 kids!

They are paving the way for the Dtube. But Dtube is not ready to take over it is just a alternative.
YouTube policy is FASCISM . This is what it is.
I think that people have to stop thinking of the alternative and fight the system. Oppressive system is growing and it is going to crash everybody and than cryptocurrencies are not going to matter at all.

I agree, Dtube has a long way to go, and not just with its technology. Dtube will also need to offer creators a sustainable way to make money long term if they want the same level quality that YouTube enjoys!

excelente trabajo

This seems to be a recurring topic lately. I don't know if it has anything to do with the fact Google owns YouTube or not, but it isn't good.

Google does tend to corrupt everything it touches.

I'm sure it does. Google wants to take over the whole freaking world, and will overcome anything it can dig its tentacles into!

"Copyrighted content was found in your video. The claimant is allowing their content to be used in your YouTube video. If you agree with these conditions, you don't have to do anything."

Then video was taken down. If you take the video down, why did you let me upload? What a paradox! go away Youtube!

Ugh I know right??? They should have those bots that scan the video before you even upload it, though where would the fun be in that if they couldn't make millions of dollars in ad revenue from those producers while their video exists online?

Yes, asap you have uploaded the video you get notification mentioned above. I think they now choose videos suitable for ads, so revenue problem. The claimant gets revenue even from the video you uploaded, but you get nothing. Even so, Youtube could take down such videos, lol.

Now that's a title to get hooked in by. Updooted for that alone.

Thanks! It is one of my personal favorites to use! There is rarely a time when it doesn't work to use...

This was a lot of fun lol! If that title was click bait well.... it totally worked! Mostly though I appreciate the coffee tip. I agree, i love iced coffee even in the cold. Can you do a whole post on that ? Thanks for the entertainment :)

Haha it wasn't meant to be clickbaity. I actually use that vernacular quite often! And I feel as though it pretty accurately describes YouTube!

Thats why its awesome! I’m all for click bait!

Yes, Blockchain is def. the future. The major companies are going to lose a lot of money. In the meantime us 'amateurs' are stepping up our game. Art will be these little histories of life.

I once used some Creative Commons music from freemusicarchive.org to use on one of my videos. It got a copyright notice even though I credited the artist, as specified in the attribute licence. I later found a great YouTuber called Otis McDonald who gives a lot of his music away and doesn't even require attribution, but I give it anyway.

That's super lame. But it doesn't surprise me. I have also come across a few artists with "open source" music. Pretty cool stuff.

It's a shame that youtube has become this way. Steem/Dtube is the way of the future.

youve got the right attitude

Hallelujah. And so happy you're in the right place. I was on You'reFuct for a hot second before I had no reason to stick around and witness the torture on display, too.

Boo.

Happy to reseem this one!!

hahah lol very funny following you,all the best.

I have never had a single video reported for anything, but I was demoinitized for not being popular enough.
Like ...I made crafty how-tos and low-quality cute videos of my cats. Not anything threatening to anyone, but because I didn't have a large enough audience, I didn't deserve to get paid my pennies.
Yeah, YouTube can suck a bag of dicks for sure.

My YouTube account got Demonitized too. I have done better on Steemit than I ever did on YouTube

yes... i posted pretty much the same thing lol... they are cutting their own legs off for what purpose? it makes me a little bit nervous about other platforms like dtube though brick law if people post copyrighted content we could see a napster situation and that's not good for anybody... always starts with a small step then before you know it people are falling off left and right

I like the copyright concept of a work being exclusively yours for seven years, then attribution for the next seven. Basically if you cannot make your money in seven years or your fame in fourteen years too bad. I got this idea from a book I read but do not remember the title. Maybe it will come to me soon.

Hm that is definitely an interesting concept. I will have to look into that!

hahaha..."how ever can you be annoyed at youtube??" LOL

Hmm, I don't know...they are just so fair, and unbiased amirite?

I got one notice yesterday too, saying I was getting people of youtube...????

Long live Dtube! Youtube can just die already!

Up Goated for title, stayed for the video, it's good to vent.

Heck yeah! Thanks~ And yes it feels GREAT to vent.

Love ya guys!!!

Babe, I thought you only loved me.

Now I realize that 1 cock isn't enough for her, She needs the bag of dicks.

No one can replace you baby. Not even a whole bag of magnum sized dicks.

I want to make love to you all night.

But I have to be honest and want to ask you @bethwheatcraft, how to make dtube upvote your post? Give me an explanation, I'm new on dtube.

If I had any idea, I would tell you. To me it is still totally random! Take a look at my other posts, you will see that! Put out good content and hope for the best. That's my only advice for you.

Power to the Steemians! Youtube used to be a great avenue for folks..Now their money hungry

It's all about dat money.
