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 have a feeling that the YouTube apocalypse will be much harder to watch (as in “more sad/unpleasant”) than the Reddit apocalypse.
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.
On the other hand, maybe it will prop up PeerTube for once…
Better start mirroring content now

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.
mastodon literally has all 4 but go off i guess?
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.
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.
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
peertube
Nebula is cool because every creator on the platform becomes part owner, so it really gives creators on the platform good control of their content. I just wish that there was a way to federate video content between paid platforms so you can have one pane of glass to view stuff scattered across the web
one pane of glass
Correct me if I’m wrong, but does your day job involve working with a bunch of “microservices”?
yeah, anyway the monetizing is through sponsorship no? Like they sell something mid video, so I’m not sure how the platform is important here, apart from exposure

UPDATE: Channel “4096” (about 10 million subs i think, it had that legendary 30 million view video with the windows 7 windows dancing) has also been deleted:

UPDATE 2: The channel was restored.
That’s so disappointing! One of my favorite channels!
Sounds like it’s a site wide push about Microsoft products:
YouTube’s AI moderator pulls Windows 11 workaround videos • https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/31/ai_moderation_youtube_windows11_workaround/
Imagine if that accidentally started banning all things Microsoft related due to some misalignment
While I do not wish for it to happen due to many real people possibly losing their real source of income, it would be quite fun hell to observe
i kinda get them pulling that, but it’s still shitty none the less.
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
important work Excel sheet
Hopefully your boss understands why they shouldn’t rely on MS software as a result
youre funny
The ”C” in “AI” stands for “competence”.
ai has lots of problems, but lack of accountability is one of the big ones

“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.
