My new YT video is up!
This week's video is about the NoRecognition project and its adversarial design and learning model, which creates visual patterns that fool Flock cameras.
It's an exceedingly neat story. If you give it a watch, please tap the like button. That engagement helps a small creator out in a big way. Thank you.

I love when mainstream YouTuber/Streamer screaming about something that really matters.
In this video, MoistCritikal/Penguinz0/Streamer John Wick talks about his frustation about mass surveillance.
Here’s the livestream replay from earlier. I originally wasn’t going to do a highlights video but it was too much fun not to 😄
The highlights video will be uploaded tomorrow.
It appears that using unattributed AI can pretty much instantly ruin a #YouTube channel creator's entire reputation. Yep, it's a third rail now.

Few things piss me off more than when I go to watch a video on a topic and then the creator wastes your time by not talking about the topic until halfway through the video.
I just watched a 16 minute long video because of the title, and he didn’t start talking about that topic until 11 minutes in.
YouTube has broken its silence after removing dozens of ASMR channels.
The company says it has not banned ASMR, but took action because some creators linked to websites containing adult content.
Several affected creators, including some with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, claim their channels were removed without any prior warning.

They lead off each video with the requisite "The company sent this out to me, I am sending it back after this review is done, no money exchanged hands and the company will not see this review prior to me posting it."
Them not keeping the product is not the issue here. The problem is that the YouTuber received a review sample. These reviewers can't say bad things about the product because if they do, they won't get another review sample sent out to them ever again -- since there's always going to be another YouTube product "reviewer" that would happily say nice things about a product, companies can ignore YouTubers who are critical.
Product reviews on YouTube are nothing but infomercials at this point.
Having written all of that, this video is a breath of fresh air:

This is something that stems from the bulletin board system period.
When people started to Flame each other they were just banging at the keyboard
What happens now {last 20 years} is the same; they can only be horrific towards each other when banging at the keyboard.
I've been told that people in industrialized countries can be very lonely. Hundreds of them in a building but they are still lonely
Often that loneliness is portrayed in a negative manner on public internet forums by people who often live a miserable life. Some of them in the US many, can also not pay for the psychiatric care they need.
The end result is a mess of a comment section

YouTube's Information Control for #Ukraine
"YouTube does not disclose the details of its algorithm"
But #YouTube does admit to blocking content to Ukrainians. Can a man not be trusted to form his own opinions?
Harvard studied the impact of YouTube's #censorship: "Comment activity on banned channels dropped sharply to near zero immediately after the ban, indicating that the ban was, in fact, successful in preventing exposure to these channels."
In this article, I share how I approach language learning. Check it out.

After getting over 2 million views, I wonder why YouTube (or even the BBC) would want to block this video?

It's strange that a CBS news video is age-restricted. I saw the thumbnail image for only a moment, which YouTube promptly replaced with a sign-in requirement. But I do not have a YouTube account, because they locked me out. So, for me, this news video is effectively being censored. I guess the video shows the US military in an unfavorable light.
I live in the US, but do not agree with the constant wars they engage in.
I despise YouTube shorts. Every day I am filling out multiple feedback forms reminding YouTube how much I would appreciate a control to make them invisible to my feed.

I am guilty of sometimes being a total consumerist, but have cut back -- especially in this economy.
Here's how I game:
Hey all! For #WIPWednesday I wanted to share my most recent video.
It's gotten a great response. It's the story of a Virginia vigilante who took out a whole bunch of Flock cameras and got arrested, but he's fighting back. I also give some background on why opposing Flock is a good thing.
If you give it a watch, all I ask is you hit the like button. Doing so gives us smaller creators a huge boost. Thank you!
