What law are they breaking? Not trying to defend Google or anything, just curious what law is blatantly being broken here because I don’t know of one

I think they still can but they have less fine control over which ad placements they disable? I’m not totally sure, but that’s what this link seems to imply https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6332943?hl=en

Those YouTubers have the option to disable ads on their channel if that is truly all the revenue they need, you don’t need to make that decision for them

I like also like “All cops are bad” for when you want to get the message across without cursing or disparaging the parentless

It’s true, my uncle’s cousin works for Cellebrite and says they can even hack into our brains

This has to be an intentionally bad idea lol, most albums are longer than 30 minutes and this would ruin the flow

This is needlessly splitting hairs, Linus Tech Tips is absolutely part of the tech industry, and the parallels to other horror stories of the tech industry are too great to ignore. The people working on these videos are tech professionals similar to yourself, they test software similar to what you make, they have a company culture similar to tech startups, and other tech professionals consume their videos giving them influence in the tech community. They may not be doing the same thing in the industry as you are, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t part of it.

I would say it’s both, it is an extremely tech centric media production company with many employees who are tech professionals. That’s an interesting point though, the tech culture and media production culture definitely both seem to be at play here. This story just stirred up a lot of feelings for me on this recurring pattern I’ve been seeing in the tech industry as a whole, and many are rightfully pointing out that these problems aren’t just limited to the tech industry.

That’s a great point, unions are really under utilized in tech and would help a ton with this. I’m not sure if forming a union is 100% of the solution though, there are powerful unions in hollywood and sexism has still been allowed to run rampant there for example

The swastika is such a useful design shape, nazis really ruin everything

Not trollin, just making a joke. The fact that people think I was trying to trick people into thinking Ken said the n word is kind of insane lol, I figured that was absurd enough that it didn’t need the “/s”

Lmao I thought it was obvious that I was joking, I just thought it was funny that they called the Barbie movie “edgy”

I still think it’s weird that they made Ken say the n word, I know it technically isn’t R material and that it fits his character, but it still felt a little off and wrong

Edit: wow lots of KKKen supporters here I guess

Lol someone went through my profile and down voted every comment I’ve ever made, I have no idea why this joke has generated so much salt, are there actually rumors of Ken being racist or something?

They call em fingers, but I’ve never seen them fing … oh there they go

YouTube is a full blown movie house as well as a place for independent creators *Oops I was wrong

I hope they notice the popularity of this post and take it as a sign to make joey for Lemmy!

The dude abides. I don’t know about you, but I take comfort in that
