And since they DIDN'T their heads SHOULD NOT be on spikes. All putting virologists who had nothing to do with covid emerging's heads on spikes will do is make humanity *more* suceptible to both covid and other dangerous pathogens, and for us to have even less of an idea of what is going on in the world around us
1) copyright restricted, under the youtube standard license -- ie alphabet/the video creator gives you the rights to basically watch it, and do things that benefit google/alphabet.
2) the creative commons license, which gives the users the right to not just watch and consume it, but also the rights to share, remix, and generally do to the video things people take for granted on the internet -- make new videos clipping it, remix it into something completely different, archive it in case google ever gets shut down, share it with your boomer friends on facebook, burn dvds and sell them on black markets in china, translate the video into tagalog or re-create the video in claymation, and more
copyright is a pestilence on the internet and puts the onus on obeying corporate edicts on the victim of the copyright system -- the end user and viewer of the video. If you're content with being a passive consumer and just doing what you're told and having no cultural connection or power to say anything at all with digital media, then sure, the youtube standard license is sufficient. but in an age when there is a thousand hours of video content being streamed at any given minute, there's really no excuse to use a license that threatens the viewer and their friends with jailtime for doing things with the media in their life. ms. vtube shark isn't worth spending time in jail being raped so that google's corporate lawyers can protect their vertically integrated monopoly on internet video.
there's a whole network of people who have a chunk of their social lives, being able to get laid and communicate with everyone they know...dependent on their not saying what I just said. Of like 30M+ people.
obviously it's important enough to bluesky to forbid it
@MoeBritannica of course the answer to that is the analytics
those 'like this on facebook' come with a payload of javascript to spy on the user and it's cheaper and easier for companies to outsource the spying on users of their website to NSA/meta/facebook (and their army of adtech advertisers) than to implement a similar payload themselves
also if the big javascript blob that is spying on you is from some skuzzy porn site you might block it but who's going to block all of facebook?
