Comment on Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus

  That is an absolute bullshit claim.

  Bloomberg has 10 days to file for lawsuit against Gamers Nexus. If they do, the take down stands, and it’s a strike until Gamers Nexus may win the case. Which will be expensive.

  Gamers Nexus cannot manage if a big company like Bloomberg goes all in. They can easily bankrupt a small channel like Gamers Nexus with frivolous lawsuits. And if you are bankrupt, you can’t defend yourself.

    Oh please get over yourself, you silly self righteous fan boy. Don’t act as if your beloved “Tech Jesus” is above tactics like click baiting to get clicks and views. Almost every single one of his videos has a click bait or otherwise “algorithm optimized” title and thumbnail.

    And I get it, it’s their livelihood, they rely on getting views, but that doesn’t make it not click bait and this one in particular is a gross exageration: they got a single bogus copyright strike and it was reverted. The channel was never going to be deleted.

    Hey and it worked too, because I got it in my youtube feed, clicked on it and watched the video, and I probably wouldn’t have if I had known it was such a nothing burger.

      Where did I claim Gamers Nexus is above using click bait!
      Very clearly it isn’t here, and the amount of downvotes you received for claiming it, hints that most don’t agree with you.
      So maybe it’s not so much me, as it is you making an unreasonable claim.

      Also I don’t see you provide a single argument for your statement, while I actually explain how it is not click bait, because the threat is real.

        But very clearly it isn’t here

        How the hell isn’t it?

        Title: “Our Channel Could Be Deleted!!!” <insert dramatic thumbnail featuring the word “SILENCED” in red capital letters>

        Yet even in the video itself they explain that :

        1. Youtube sided with them, the copyright strike got reverted and the video restored. The only recourse Bloomberg has is to press actual charges in a court of law.
        2. It takes three copyright strikes to delete a channel.

        And I will add my own 3: YouTube will never just outright delete a cashcow channel like GamersNexus.

        I get that they’re pissed because the claim was bogus and it cost them good ad revenue on that video, but the channel is not and never was in danger of being deleted. The title is clickbait for some rather mid content.

        the amount of downvotes

        LOL “I’m right because I got more upvotes”.
