Yeah I remember once when my friends Synology started acting harmful when he run jellyfin on it. it started off gasing mustard gas. It poisoned the well and made his son addicted to zyns. All of the cars in his neighborhood needed new batteries. The country's GTP dropped a lot that month and the ozone layer is gone. Thank God YouTube stopped platforming such harmful content. Too bad so luch damage has already been done.

Yes, exactly. The server I run jellyfin on kept promising me cake, though I am fairly certain the cake is a lie.
Synology is already enshittifying itself
I would go so far as to say they are already in a shit state, but they're just not stopping the process yet.
It's pretty harmful to Googles cloud business.
Who would win:
- A 2 trillion dollar multinational technology company
- Some guy's hobby project

I think a few folks haven't read the article or know who Jeff Geerling is. The title of this article is confusing.
Jeff posted a video on YT about how to self-host your own media in 2024. He recently got a violation from YT that YT considers his video to be harmful and dangerous. He appealed, got denied, but then the update is that YT removed the violation.

Jeff should consider hosting on Peertube and keeping his Patreon active. He's awesome and more than capable, I'd mirror him in a hot second.
He's on float plane. I think he's trying to make a living, so I'd assume YouTube ad revenue is a factor
He's on float plane
I'll never support anyone on that platform. I'll never do anything to give LTT a cent.
Yeah I'm not big on LTT either, I'd like to see him on Nebula. The price is reasonable and they have some really good high quality content.
I seem to remember Jeff explaining his choice, and a big factor was that Nebula doesn't have comments under videos, nor any other similar forums for video posters and watchers to chat. I think he said he wouldn't be happy without that direct interaction.
I admit I don't watch every video, I'm subscribed but I just kind of let videos come to my home feed and watch that way. I mainly use YT as background noise while doing something else.
His reasoning makes sense, so I guess I'll just continue to watch on YT since I have no desire to join FP. Thanks for the info!
What they did to you?
Lied
Can you tell me more please? Or send a link please? I would like to know what happened, thanks.
It's been talked about to death. It's been analysed to death.
But here's a very detailed and thorough breakdown:
I see, you mean this, I thought there is something new. Thank you for sharing. What I didn't like about Luise's contribution to this drama is that he focused solely on LTT's side and didn't mention the other side. Because I think both sides made some mistakes.

It says (updated) but what is the update?
Update (one day later):
YouTube has just reinstated the video, after what I presume is a human review process. I wish it didn't take making noise on socials to get past the 'AI deny' process :(
Go forth, and self-host all the things! I'll post further updates in this issue in my YouTube project.

YouTube restored the video, but not until Jeff had made a huge stink about it (and rightfully so, those yt fuckers can eat a dick).

Isn't that what an mp3 players main purpose is? Are mp3 players bad now?
Yes cause they can’t sell you a subscription for your mp3 player.
Fucking rent seeking behaviour from corporate parasites.
