 My Mix that dumbtube Youtube compiled from my listening habits

But you know what the funniest thing is? 

If you click on it and go to DumbTube - after the first number - it'll be your mix that DumbTube complied from your listening habits.

So you will never get to listen to my mix after all.

Docu Time:Super Size Me

Here is something to watch.

A documentary about McDonalds in America that is good enough to semi-watch on the background like while doing a bit work on your desktop computer.

The point is valid and well documented, however the documentary seems to be itself "supersized" for the message it tries, and succeeds, to put across.

However, at this point and due to a change in circumstances, am considering to eat more fast food, not less.

What's happening to Google Play Music is a disgrace, Google must be held accountable

What's happening to Google Play Music is a disgrace, Google must be held accountable

Google is moving Google Play Music to Youtube, including your libraries of music that you paid for to be available to you on Google Play Music.

Who else thinks it's wrong and is in fact a felony of some sorts.

I bought some music titles, downloaded them once, and keep them on Google Play Music, and nobody never said they could be deleted on a whim of some dumb Google bot.

If you buy music and pay for it on Google Play Music you expect it to stay like forever on Google Play Music because that's what you paid for and that was implied if not specifically stipulated.

I don't want my music to go under that stupid Wojcicki woman's control on Youtoob, next thing that happens will be her stealing my payment methods details and subscribing me to Youtube Premium or some dumb useless Youtube service like that without my knowledge.

Her Youtube already sits on $100 of my money and refuses to pay up. It's a small amount to be sure but imagine Youtube doing that to millions of uploaders, how much money are they stealing now!?

And what will happen to Google Books - will they also go to Youtube?

It's a freaking disgrace.

How Wojcicki's Youtube Uses Demonetization to Avoid Paying Up on What It Owes to Small Channels

Here is Youtube at its finest with a trick it has been playing for several years already on my little channel.

In fact, ever since Wojcicki was installed as CEO.

I ain't complaining... but come to think of it Youtube is a vile outfit even more vile than Facebook and other social media entities as it operates in clear violation of applicable laws, both international and domestic in many countries, as regards specifically, but not limited to, tax avoidance and other financial irregularities.

And you remember how it used for a long time to run ads on videos uploaded by terrorists from all over the world, I guess it makes them also guilty of terrorist funding and money laundering.

How Stupid and Greedy is Youtube?

Youtube has again demonetized my Youtube channels even though they re-monetized them themselves about a month ago.

And this is on top of a multitude of other problems I am having with the Google thing and its services and products as I believe I mentioned elsewhere on the blog.

The reason given for demonetization is Re-used content but when I joined up there was no mention of re-used content in their policies.

Also, I don't believe I have any re-used content as all videos are mine but those with others' works are not monetized by me anyway as they are monetized and claimed by rights owners or groups representing them.

So, it apparently is all down to Youtube's greed pure and simple and it's unwillingness to pay up and pay to small creators.

So here is a question (and the answer):

How Stupid and Greedy is Youtube?

Has YouTube grown too greedy under the idiot CEO Wojcicki (whatever) and outlived its usefulness to small YouTube creators who are an overwhelming majority on the platform?

Since 2018 something very wrong has been ongoing at YouTube.

YouTube under CEO Wojcicki has been engaged in deceptive practices and even what amounts to fraud in its dealings with small YouTube Creator channels.

YouTube's MO now seems to be to get as many people as possible to upload videos while denying channel monetization to the overwhelming majority of uploaders who happen to be small creators.

As far as YouTube is concerned, it works very well as they still can and do make money on unmonetized videos by making them available to paying viewing public subscribing to YouTube Premium.

But they still like to dangle the carrot of channel monetization in front of people with small channels so people keep uploading and watching videos on the platform and, to this end, greedily lie that new YouTubers can have their channels monetized once they get 4,000 hours of views and over 1,000 subscribers.

But the reality is that they are lying and most channels reaching 4,000 view hours per year and 1,000 subscribers will never be approved for monetization -- ostensibly for the reason of failing YouTube's review of compliance with their policies, for example, because "re-used" content will be found on such channels (without specifying what that content is and in which videos it can allegedly be found), and you can count on the fact that Re-Used content will be found; if not, they will come up with some other reason not to approve monetization or will just suspend the decision for ever.

Also, YouTube's so called policies, against which new channels are supposedly reviewed, are changing every month in line with the dictates of YouTube bosses' all-consuming greed and with a view to getting more content for less and less in outlay and expenditure.

It is important to remember that in 2018 YouTube already demonetized tens if not hundreds of millions of small creator channels that had been fully in compliance with YouTube's so-called policies in effect at the time. Their only fault was YouTube's unwillingness to pay those channels for content anymore, however little that pay was per individual channel (still amounting to hundreds of millions over all such channels).

Also, over the same period, YouTube deprecated many extremely useful features, claiming they didn't see much use - but they were lying here again because the principal motive force in these deprecations was again greed pure and simple - the desire on the part of YouTube bosses to reduce expenditure and to make YouTube smaller and cheaper to run with less features.

It is therefore hard to avoid reaching the conclusion that YouTube is now greedy, rotten to the core, stinks and is nothing but a criminal gang of greedy thieving capitalists, appropriating people's videos for own commercial use (over YouTube Premium if nothing else) and as ever operating outside the spirit and even the letter of applicable laws in most countries while faking concern over topical issues and using them as a pretext to squeeze YouTube uploaders even more.

So, in light of the above, my suggestion is not to upload videos on YouTube anymore and even not to watch YouTube at all but if you still do, don't ever pay them for anything, especially for YouTube Premium, make them work for free, and use a good ad blocker too.

So, has YouTube been going in the wrong direction starting in 2018 or maybe even earlier? Discuss in the comments.

Where Is YouTube Heading?

Where is YouTube Heading?

Specifically, where is it heading with regard to small YouTube creators who are an overwhelming majority on the platform?

Over the past year +, something very wrong has been ongoing at YouTube.

In its dealing with small YouTube creator channels, YouTube under CEO Wojcicki appears to have been engaged in deceptive practices and even in what surely amounts to fraud.

YouTube's MO now seems to be to encourage as many people as possible to upload videos while denying channel monetization to the overwhelming majority of uploaders who happen to be small creators.

As far as YouTube is concerned, it works very well as they still can and do make money on unmonetized videos by making them available to paying viewing public subscribing to YouTube Premium.

But they still like to dangle the juicy carrot of channel monetization in front of people with small channels so those people keep uploading, working their channels and watching videos on the platform and, to this end, greedily lie that new YouTubers can have their channels monetized once they get 4,000 hours of views and over 1,000 subscribers.

But the stark reality is that they are lying as most channels reaching 4,000 view hours per year and 1,000 subscribers will never be approved for monetization -- ostensibly for the reason of failing YouTube's review of compliance with their guidelines and policies; for example, because "re-used" content will be found on such channels (without specifying what that content is and in which videos it can allegedly be found), and you can count on the fact that Re-Used content will be found; if not, they will come up with some other reason not to approve monetization or will just suspend the decision for ever.

Also, YouTube's so called guidelines, against which new channels are supposedly reviewed and measured, are changing every month in line with the dictates of YouTube bosses' all-consuming greed and with a view to getting more content for less and less in outlay and expenditure.

It is important to remember that in 2018 YouTube already demonetized tens if not hundreds of millions of small creator channels that had been fully in compliance with YouTube's so-called guidelines in effect at the time. Their only fault was YouTube's unwillingness to pay those channels for content anymore, however little that pay was per individual channel (still amounting to hundreds of millions over all such channels).

On top of that, AdSense rates are now about one-third of what they were in 2017.

Also, over the same period, YouTube deprecated many extremely useful features, claiming they didn't see much use - but they were lying here again because the principal motive force in these deprecations was again greed pure and simple - the desire on the part of YouTube bosses to reduce expenditure and to make YouTube smaller and cheaper to run with less features and less functionality.

It is therefore hard to avoid reaching the conclusion that YouTube is now greedy, rotten to the core, stinks and is nothing but a criminal gang of greedy thieving capitalists, appropriating people's videos for own commercial use (over YouTube Premium if nothing else), lying to uploaders and as ever operating outside the spirit and even the letter of applicable laws in most countries while faking concern over topical issues and using them as a pretext to squeeze YouTube uploaders even more.

So, in light of the above, my suggestion is not to upload videos on YouTube anymore and even not to watch YouTube at all but if you still do, don't ever pay them for anything, especially for YouTube Premium, make them work for free, and use a good ad blocker too.

And advertisers should suspend advertising campaigns on YouTube until YouTube reverses its course with regard to small YouTube channels and reimburses them for lost revenue due to arbitrary demonetizations by YouTube in 2018.

So, where is YouTube heading, in your opinion? Discuss in the comments.

Thanks, Wojcicki!

YouTube is...

YouTube under Wojcicki went to the dogs and is staying there.

YouTube's MO now seems to be to get as many people as possible to upload videos while denying channel monetization to the overwhelming majority of uploaders.

As far as YouTube is concerned, it works as they still can and do make money on unmonetized videos by making them available to the paying viewing public subscribing to YouTube Premium which they now push very hard.

But they still like to dangle the hope of channel monetization in front of people so people continue to upload and provide content (for free) and also continue to work their channels and watch other videos and, to this end, greedily lie that new YouTubers can have their channels monetized once they get 4,000 hours of views and over 1,000 subscribers.

But the reality is that they are lying and most channels reaching 4,000 view hours per year and 1,000 subscribers will never be approved for monetization ostensibly for the reason of failing YouTube's review against their guidelines because "re-used" content will be found on such channels (without specifying what that content is and in which videos it can allegedly be found), and you can count on such content being found. Youtube also has other tricks not to approve your channel for monetization, including dragging out the review process indefinitely, literally for years.

What's more, YouTube's so called guidelines, against which new channels are allegedly reviewed, are changing every month in line with the dictates of their all-consuming greed and with a view to getting more and more content for less and less in outlay and expenditure.

It is important to remember that in 2018 YouTube already acted in bad faith when it demonetized tens if not hundreds of millions of small creator channels that had been fully in compliance with YouTube's so-called policies in effect at the time. Their only fault was YouTube's unwillingness to pay those channels for content anymore, however little that pay was per individual channel.

It is hard to avoid reaching the conclusion that YouTube is now greedy, rotten to the core, stinks and is nothing but a giant turd and a criminal gang of greedy thieving capitalists, appropriating people's videos for own commercial use (over YouTube Premium if nothing else) and as ever operating outside the spirit and even the letter of applicable laws in most countries while faking concern over topical issues and using them as a pretext to squeeze YouTube uploaders even more.

So, in light of the above, my suggestion is not to upload videos on YouTube anymore and even not to watch YouTube at all but if you can't help it and still do, don't ever pay them for anything, especially YouTube Premium, make them work for free, and use a good ad blocker too.

British Pathé: 85,000 Archived Newsreels Online

British Pathé has put some 85,000 archived newsreels online.

British Pathé on youtube.

The archive is searchable.

For example, I found some videos on Russia's Moskvich 408 car, no sound.

And another one -- Russian cars - Moskvich 402 x 2 and then Volga GAZ 21, I think, no sound though

Even some on watches and clocks, though not many

Mechanical gears in... insects
