They realise that A LOT of those videos are not primarily about Windows? I’ve seen many reviews of vintage devices where the uploader just casually installs Windows 11 in a “nonstandard” way, just because it’s the only way.
YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs

Stop uploading content to YouTube - there are other hosts

Which of them help normies monetize their videos?
cmeu@lemmy.world 6 months ago
A quick Google search brought up a few alternatives that can do that, but what’s the monetization potential for a removed video on YouTube?
chunes@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Better yet, this would be much better and easier to host as written instructions.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Sure. You could upload it to peer-tube, and have it be seen by a whole 11 people!

A little ironic that this comment posted on Lemmy (tiny competitor to reddit)
Viewers go where the content is, yes, but you don’t get content on alternative sites if you don’t post there.
YouTube in the old days was awesome. Then Google happened to it. When it first started it was quite small.
Principles matter!

Why not both, it’s not like The Internet Police will stop you.
markko@lemmy.world 6 months ago
That would be great for those 11 people.

Hey man, the playing-pinball-while-a-cat-interferes peertube community is very close-knit (video.apz.fi).
I kid, but it’s true that peertube lacks the dopamine hooks and variety that youtube does. It’s much harder to sink hours into watching a bunch of videos that you’ll only half remember by the next day.

There was a time Youtube videos would only be seen by 11 people. But it grew because people posted videos anyway.

Honestly, at this point people should use Pornhub.

In this case, you could upload it to YouTube where it will be taken down and seen by a whole no people

What’s wrong with that?

Or Odysee!! A well established platform with decentralised video storage and a FOSS app that lets you browse all videos with relatively fast loading.

This is a screenshot of this HN thread: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45744503
Which is about this Reddit post: old.reddit.com/…/youtube_is_taking_down_videos_on…
“non-standard” means without a Windows account (gasp!) and on “non-standard equipment” - like, what a Samsung Smart Fridge instead of the ads? I can’t tell what that means, YT thinks I’m a bot, and can get fucked instead of me digging any deeper.

“Nonstandard” for Windows 11 includes PCs with Intel 7th gen or older processors, many of which are still perfectly good and powerful enough to run Windows 11. So, it’s pretty sad that these videos are being taken down.

Can confirm, I still own an i7-7700k. Pretty much all 77xx variants were on the compatibility list but mine wasn’t. Weird thing, though (sarcasm), I used the standard Win11 Install Media to install, and it did so with no problems! Funny, that.
Occasionally it threw a fit with the Office apps my partner needed to use (the standard for the university and LibreOffice’s docx, xlsx format is not compatible with M$), all it did was refuse login due to lack of TPM2.0, but this only happened after the 24H3 update or whatever it’s called
(All this is moot for me now as I switched to Arch Linux)

Oh, FFS. Of course it is.
sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
what kind of “non-standard windows 11 installs” ?
rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 6 months ago
utilizing things like ReviOS or something, by passing the forced account creation, etc.

Rare Youtube W I guess?
