I was looking forward to some conversation regarding this subject in the comments, instead all we’ve got is people talking about text vs video, and drawing any attention away from actually discussing the video.
Great.

Was there anything in particular you wanted to discuss?

I think it’s interesting that people have to attach their names and prove they’re real to sign this, but serious complaints can be filed anonymously. I’m not European, so do this mean anyone random can file complaints? Or it’s done somehow officially, just shows up anonymously?
I’m asking to understand how this works because this could not be the industry entirely.

That thumbnail is really not helping the movement. Really hope this goes through though.

Why does he feel that it’s necessary to present the information by talking into a webcam? What’s wrong with publishing text?
bread@feddit.nl 18 hours ago
He’s presenting information to his audience, where his audience is.
mang0@lemmy.zip 12 hours ago
Total shit argument. You can publish text on youtube too.

Imagine the audacity of a video creator to publish a video on a video platform, what has society come to smh

So there’s some magical limitation which only lets him make videos? He’s doomed to solely create videos and if he as much as thinks about writing a blog post, he gets struck by lightning or something? What an interesting phenomenon.

because it’s a split from his normal monthly update video where he is supposed to be interacting with his channel members.
He’s already fighting the fight, no reason to give him more work. :P

Unpopular opinion but setting up a whole recording studio and cutting a video without fucking up a bunch is a lot more fucking work than just writing a damn text document.

It’s getting him views.
Also, I would not have read his text. The slightly strung out look is working, it got you to comment :)
RepleteLocum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 hours ago
Who‘s gonna actually read it tho? Like 90% of the people who watched that video would never have read a whole text. Not to speak of the issue of getting the text out to people.

probably faster to create and gets more views

Watching/listening to a recording is faster than reading something. I can multitask while listening to it, for instance.

That’s just wrong.
I can multitask while listening to it, for instance.
Why post it to youtube in that case? If you’re watching a video where the only the audio is relevant, why the fuck is it a video?

There are many differences, some advantages and some disavantages. If you want to read, you can read the transcript that YT generates or you can probably find the text posted in some of his blogs, I bet.
mang0@lemmy.zip 12 hours ago
Automatic transcripts are not comparable to intentionally written text. Are you actually serious?
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
Because people don’t read longform text anymore.
mang0@lemmy.zip 12 hours ago
The brilliant part about writing text is that you don’t have to read all of it. You can have sections where people can find the information they actually are interested in. The only problem is less ad money.

The good news is that they are scared. First, they ignored it. Next they tried to debate, well lie, their way out of it.
No one is buying their story or is feeling sorry for those greedy bastards. So they take the other route, attack the opponent and question their intentions/ credibility.
Dear God, predictable and sad.

You just mentioned everything pirate SW did. You think he a plant?
Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
No, he is a narcissist bastard that likes to be always right. Going on his first impuls on what he thinks the answer should be and sticking with it.
He is too dumb, to self-involved and not competent enough to be a plant.
