I've always heard it said that the First Amendment only stops the government from censoring whatever you say, and even then it's kind of limited in that regard (i.e. if I work from a Congressman and call him a shithead on Facebook, I can still get canned). As far as I know, Google is a private organization and can lawfully ban or censor anything that doesn't agree with their corporate values or harm their bottom line. It's not censorship, per se, just capitalism.

That being said, I'm not an American, and I don't know much about you Yanks' Constitution, so I might be wrong on all counts there.

That's a pretty poo poo way to think on some people randomly having their work invalidated and some deal of income up and yanked out of their hands.

I mostly agree, but considering how crazy YouTube's been recently, something was bound to happen. I think Mega64's right- if you want to make a living from YouTube, places like Patreon are the way to go, along with massive promotion efforts.

Because Phil didn't know how to make money properly and kept being an idiot (like shooting the drug dealers you're supposed to talk to and saying the game is glitched when said drug dealers started shooting back at him).

You cannot be serious. I mean, poo poo like this is why I can't help thinking DSP's persona is manufactured. Why did he think they wouldn't shoot back? I'd say the game was bugged if they didn't shoot back.

EDIT: I mean, that's on the level of this, except if you're right, then DSP is perfectly serious.

All right, that is... slightly more understandable- I thought he fired into a group of drug dealers and was surprised when they shot back. But still, this isn't some bullet hell shooter, surely he must've noticed where his bullets were going, especially since he's got auto-aim on. What the hell?

Is there any way for the law to make her go see a doctor once she loses her lawsuit? And she will lose her lawsuit, no bones about it- you don't need to be Leonard French, or even the Romino Bros. to make sure of that. Because this seems to me to be less an internet numbskull being an internet numbskull, and more of some poor woman having a stress breakdown :(

Yeah, regardless of what she's going through she does need legal action taken against her. I just think that the optimal outcome is that the case is dropped, Imagos doesn't lose anything, Leonard gets paid adequately, and Alex gets some sorely needed counselling and/or medication.

I suppose having all the transphobic assholes who came out of the woodwork be hit by lightning would be nice too, but at that point I might as well ask for a unicorn that shits diamonds.

I dunno- if her statement is true (and I do have my doubts that it is), then her situation would not have been helped by people telling her that death threats were 'free speech' and referring to her old gender. That being said however, I don't doubt that the odds are good that she's lying or even outright hallucinating/delusional (not sure of the precise term to be used here), and the real fault lies with the quack who decided to release her early.

EDIT: According to SidAlpha, her account has been taken down.

i'm not sure what more you expect. they literally threw her into the loony bin. should they throw her back and get a court order to not release her this next time?

Dunno, maybe? There should be more than enough proof that she's got more than a case of the sadbrains, and certainly should be enough to have her committed, at least for a while. Then again, this is the infamous American mental health system we're talking about, so there might not be much help to be had either. Like Nihilarian said:

Nihilarian posted:

Since commiting her to a mental hospital apparently only made her more dedicated to the cause, I doubt that would have gone well either.

It's just that it's really sad to see a mental breakdown of any kind, even moreso that it's bringing out the anti-trans community and their ilk as well.

I have to admit, I don't really see the problem with Youtube's new layout other than a momentary bout of getting used to the new look. That said, I'm pretty much just some schlub that watches videos now and then, so if it's somehow made it harder for people to make a living from Youtube, then it was a genuinely lovely thing to happen. That said, from what I hear YT's not much of a good monetizing option anyway, and Patreon's a much better bet if one wants to earn a living making videos for the Internet.

Again though, I'm really no expert.

Re: CJacobs and Coolguye, I think you guys are kind of talking over each other. I think (it's 5AM where I am, okay?) CJacobs wants to know what can be done to protect the monetization rights of smaller YouTubers, while Coolguye is saying why YT is focusing on helping those with large subscriber counts gain visibility, because every PDP gets YT a shitload in ad money. Maybe YT moving to becoming some kind of Patreon-like would help both these issues, with the caveat being: what can YT do that Patreon can't?

Maybe Google can just buy out Patreon or something, but that's a whole other kettle of fish, especially since Patreon also handles funding for fanworks and adult material- I can't see Blizzard too eager to advertise on a network that's also funding some dude's 18-rated Overwaifu visual novel, for instance.
