@TechConnectify that was a good one. I think that way, but I don't think most do.

@almino @Janne_O I don't claim the video should be public domain, but I do claim that someone else publishing it on PeerTube could be a violation of any copyrights on the video.

Monetization affects both the impact of illicit mirroring and the incentives for creators to mirror (or migrate entirely) themselves.

@utf_7 @TechConnectify
do watch.

@TechConnectify The first half of this video, as usual, taught me a few things and made me think.

The second half.... wow. Thank you for saying all this.

(I'm in the UK.)

@TechConnectify Thank you

@TechConnectify I love your videos! This one was amazing. Also, I'm not in the US but fuck Trump and the republicans.

@TechConnectify Thank you so much. I'm sorry it has come to this but you more than met the moment.

@TechConnectify

It seems pretty clear, at the end you consider the US to be in the early stages of fascism.

Have you thought about writing anything explaining this?

@TechConnectify
Loved this video. Thank you.

@TechConnectify Dude, my God, incredible video, all 92 minutes! Thank you for a shot of hope!

@BoydStephenSmithJr @almino my point was that people who “suffer YouTube ads” shouldn’t have any issues watching this video on YouTube as it has no ads as far as I know.

@Janne_O @almino Depending on country, YT inserts its own advertisements into videos even when the creator is not (or cannot) monetize the video.

They've been doing this for about 18 months, IIRC.

EDIT: https://www.pootlepress.com/2025/04/can-youtube-show-ads-on-your-channel-if-you-turn-off-monetization/ says they've been doing it since 2020, but not if Alec is part of the YouTube Partner Program (idk if he is). Google's support pages confirm the current state: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2475463?hl=en

(I've had YT Premium since it was "YT Red" and given away free with what was "Google Music" so I often don't notice when YT changes how much they advertise.)

@TechConnectify

Thank you for plainly and passionately saying the things that need to be said, and for setting a powerful example for those of us who feel as deeply about these things as you do. I have more admiration for your courage and conviction than I can readily articulate right now.

@gudenau @TechConnectify TL:DW?

(I do plan to watch it, but would love to hear what parts stood out most to you.)

@mattwilcox That's an oddly sharp rebuke to level at a stranger who asked someone else for help.

What made their request so objectionable, to you?

@GoodNewsGreyShoes They didn’t though. They said “TL;DW?”.

That’s not asking for help. That’s an incredibly terse way to say “what you made is too long and I didn’t watch it”.

Interpreting that as a “request” involves adding in as much context on your part as interpreting my comment as a rebuke.

In both cases; the “request” and the “rebuke” are not in the original statements.

@TechConnectify

Thank you.
