Chip makes occasional updates on Patreon. He says they're almost ready to restart uploading videos, but he's been very busy with being back at Volition and creating as big a backlog as possible so they can keep up regular updates again.

Looking forward to the continuing adventures of Good Dad, Bad Dad, and That rear end in a top hat. :)

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

LP-adjacent, Spikevegeta and iateyourpie have been doing a speedrunning race marathon all month. Good games, bad games, ones they know, ones they were blind on, it all came down to tonight, Mario Party 3 on very hard. Last time they did that it took 18 hours.

6 hours in it ate Spike's savefile.

Maybe they use clickbait for one-offs and standard thumbnails for a series?

I hope they go back to the classics. The new format of their titles is actually incredibly awful. I know they have to deal with YouTube algorithms and whatever but it’s gross.

Y'know Spiffing Brit? His channel is probably going to be deleted. It turns out shutter stock don't like you using their images on videos even with their watermark without a license.

Who could've seen this coming?

Anyway, if you go to his temporarily still existing channel and look at the community page, you can read some gems. I would quote some but I'm on mobile and can't seem to copy text from the app.

gently caress that.

Anyhow.

Spiff's two gimmicks are ha ha ironic British sterotype/nationalism and using Shutterstock images complete with watermark for emphasis. He and a few of the other HOI4 youtubers also abuse the gently caress out of zooms, tilting the screen, colouring, sudden cuts etc for emphasis. Bias warning, even though I want to like the content I hate his style to the point I won't watch. His channel has really exploded in popularity in the last six months.

He is currently making $1600 a month off of patreon. Shutterstock is loving expensive tbh. For 750 images/month, which is overkill even for him, it's $249/m on a yearly plan.

Spiff admits he done hosed up. He is minimising and being a bit of a piss baby about Shutterstock not coming to play with him though.

Spiff posted:

I have less than 7 Days to have the strikes removed or youtube terminates my channel. As this could be the end allow me to explain my mistake so that others dont make it.


Using watermarked stock images still holds the copyright of the person who owns them. (Some stock photo websites allow free use without payment). Normally when this happens a company claims the video and they take the revenue from it. This is a shame but honestly, I am fine with that. Shutterstock however, decided to issue a takedown on 6 of my videos. A takedown simply deletes the video and youtube tells me off. Normally this is a system used for things like fully uploading Shrek 2 to youtube. Alas, not today.


If I am honest I am rather scared. I have spent 3 years working on this channel and in the last few months, we have created something wonderful together. I couldn't have asked for a nicer communi-TEA to form around me. Thank you for all of the likes on videos and the comments and the patreons. They have changed my life. I don't want this to be the end of my channel so I will fight it to the best of my abilities and in the future learn from the mistake I made. I certainly won't risk it.


I see a few ways of resolving it. Firstly trying to argue for fair use. This is probably not going to work given that the images are not the focus of the video. Secondly trying to buy off shutterstock and paying them for the images + extra and damages. This is my preferred option however, shutterstock are just sending me around a loop of people for the last week and not allowing me to actually sort this out.


I don't have enough experience or money to take anyone to court so that is off the table. especially as I am technically in the wrong here for showing watermarked images for 5 seconds. At least when you use 5 seconds of a song they only claim the video rather than copyright strike it :D

...


Let's hear from the Communi-TEA.

I am actually pretty sure that Shutterstock is incapable of legally backing up their claim. You really should contact that Legal Eagle YouTuber they keep talking about and figure out exactly how much of a case you really have. This sounds like Corporate Abuse of a Public Figure to me.

You were getting some good pictures from Shutterstock, and I *was* considering looking them up again to see what kind of shenanigans I could get up to, *until they pulled this stunt*.

If anything you are a form of free advertising for them, *they should owe you money*.

Again, you should really speak to a Lawyer who specializes in this field, such as the YouTuber Legal Eagle they keep talking about, and explore what legal options you have.

I’m getting sick of this predatory bullshit.

"i read [b posted:

i love that their website clearly says something along the lines of "free stock images for your creative purposes." where the gently caress did that go? gently caress Shutterstock.

false advertising!!! posted:

Shutterstock should be in the wrong here, their website says FREE images that you can use. Apparently that was a loving lie, but it's also false advertisement.

someone think of the creators posted:

Shutterstock should be ashamed. They're too stuck up to allow someone - who's livelihood relies upon the videos they produce - to use their images from their list of, quote-on-quote, "free stock images," and decide the best course of action is to permanently delete your entire channel because of an image you used for five seconds - with a watermark, might I mind. I wish you luck, Spiff: go and give 'em hell!

I've enjoyed some of his videos, but yeah a lot of his style rubs me the wrong way, like his insistence on asking you to like the video at the start of every video, and that dumb "Boom, I've cut into a part of the video where you didn't expect me!" thing. Kinda surprised that he admits fault at all, really,

It seemed like he ran entirely on using stock photos, which felt kinda pointless to me. Why not just get the royalty free ones anyways? :shrug:

Stejo has a block of those vids up. Very casual play, just kinda stumbles onto map markers. I'd recommend skipping ahead a bunch of videos because nothing kills those games harder than experiencing the tutorial more than once.

He thought they were royalty free, used them as a central gimmick, didn't look into it at all despite relying so heavily on it.
