I’ve been watching him since I think 2020. He made some of the best tech content of YouTube and I’ve never seen another individual have more knowledge of Windows internals than him. He was accused by Youtube in the past many times for spreading viruses in the description of some of his videos.
This time it was a copyright violation of some random Japanese channel, with no relation to his channel. It is very possible this error was made by the new AI YouTube copyright detection bots.
Please help spread this. RIP Enderman 2016-2025
UPDATE: The channel is back up again.
You must log in or # to comment.
UPDATE: Channel “4096” (about 10 million subs i think, it had that legendary 30 million view video with the windows 7 windows dancing) has also been deleted:
Sounds like it’s a site wide push about Microsoft products:
YouTube’s AI moderator pulls Windows 11 workaround videos • https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/31/ai_moderation_youtube_windows11_workaround/
i kinda get them pulling that, but it’s still shitty none the less.
You get what?
pulling bypass videos if microsoft asked them too. if we still had keygens, you think microsoft would be ok with keygen guides on youtube? press x to doubt.
You are out of your god damned mind to be logically equating modifying your OS with piracy.
i didn’t say it was piracy, i said it was against EULA.
You literally didn’t tho
Except this isn’t stealing windows. It’s installing it on unsupported hardware and/or without needing user accounts to be tied to microsoft accounts. It has nothing to do with bypassing windows activation systems.
but your…bypassing their software requirements…without their permission…thus breaking the license agreement you agree to installing windows. Listen dude i get it, its fucking stupid, but at the same time, i don’t see what microsoft is doing is wrong (in regards to pulling bypass videos, not this guys account)
What grounds do they have to pull those videos?
You are aware there is no law called “If you show someone how to modify the product I sold to them (licensed to them too, as that makes no difference) I get to pull down their content” right?
Are you real? Like this reeks of Subway from Community.
your bypassing hardware requirements, that could be against the EULA, and it actually is if you read it. they dont want people sharing videos violating their EULA
Your inability to use your/you’re correctly really puts the cherry on top of your show of idiocy here, it’s fucking hilarious.
Take a hint from the votes, and learn basic grammar and spelling. Thought I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re actually unable to learn better, since every single comment you’ve made makes it very clear you’re dumb as fuck.
Most “bypasses” are using admin tools and commands to keep accounts in company or local for enterprises. Its hardly hacking. Microsoft just wants to forcibly inflate their registration numbers. Same thing with one drive, the start menu pulling bing content… Etc.
Its gonna get worse faster as people bail on the eroding enshitified os… Making them try to forcibly lock in other people on the platform harder.
Related: DRM and piracy. The more invasive it got - the worse it was for paying customers… While the DRM would be stripped out by the pirates. You’d think they’d know better.
i think the real answer is just to not install windows 11 and install linux instead.
Right there with you. A fair number of companies are as well. Unfortunately not all software is “uniformly supported” so its really a mixed bag when it comes to who can flip the switch and who can’t.
There’s a lot of costs to consider as well.
All said - it says a lot when companies are willingly taking that plunge just to shed micro$ofts shit.
Imagine if that accidentally started banning all things Microsoft related due to some misalignment
While I do not wish for it to happen due to many real people possibly losing their real source of income, it would be quite fun hell to observe
Love that channel :(
That’s so disappointing! One of my favorite channels!
Never heard about him
So who’s the YouTube replacement. Those guys are doing a good job at making people upset. Big tech needs to get taken down a few notches.
closest we got is Peertube.
YouTube’s replacement would have to come from Amazon, Microsoft or Oracle. Maybe Netflix - they use AWS for their backend, but have their own CDN.
And that’s just to compete on a technical level with the content distribution network. There’s also the whole issue of fighting a long time incumbent.
Peertube is neat, but it will never compete with YouTube.
Loses*
Sorry, fixed
Its amazing how much of a problem lose vs loose has become lately. But yes, OP should change it to “loses.”
For all intensive purposes, we have become too lose with txt quality, and it effects my mental health.
for all intents and purposes*
lol
Thanks for the inlitenment!
The thing I don’t get is how often are people using “looses” that it becomes possible to mix it up? I don’t think I have ever used that word in 40 years.
ai has lots of problems, but lack of accountability is one of the big ones
i doubt anyone would be held accountable at youtube/ youtube itself really even if it were not AI…
?
This is Google, they’ve been unaccountable for 2 decades.
“Therefore a computer is ideally suited to making management decisions”
More like…AI’s primary purpose is to provide an unaccountable excuse to fire people and keep wages down.
I don’t know if that is a problem. If a human does dumb things he will be fired. If a computer/algorithm /Ai does it, it will be removed.
I think it has more to do with human costs (salary) vs the cost of brand damage (youtube).
They spent billions of dollars to develop and train the AIs that they use. They’re not going to remove it for fucking up someone’s YouTube channel.
They wouldn’t remove it even if it caused someone’s death (which it probably has considering that they have been shown to be very bad at therapy and that people go to them for therapy).
UPDATE 2: Enderman’s channel was restored.
Popular youtuber “looses” channel after AI error
looks inside
It is very possible this error was made by the new AI YouTube copyright detection bots.
This is clickbait.
Youtube is trying to purge it’s own community
Much like Reddit.
He will probably be back in a few days.
human errors, automated errors, ai errors, yt going for all achievements speed run
it’s funny how they also recently started to block all adblockers by not even loading videos at all just a day into US elections…
Just had this problem today. Disabling the Ad Nauseam extension allowed videos to actually load, although now they all stop at the one minute mark. I can work around it, but I’ll check to see if another extension is causing it when I have a chance.
Unless they start embedding the ads directly into the video stream, they’ll never be able to block adblocks - updating your extensions will work.
I think I did, but I’ll check again.
only twitch does that, but its expensive to do that for every video, thats why YT doesnt do it.
If your adblocker stops working on YT: Update your adblocker.
Yesss, uBlock 1.67 to fix this new issue
that would require me to update my browser, which I can’t without updating my OS.
Windows XP forever!
Windows XP forever!
Inspired, lmfao
That’s even worse
I don’t think windows 11 will work on my Pentium 3…
Any reason Linux isn’t an option? My devices that I ran Windows on end up running Linux in the long run because its been easier on aging hardware.
Many, many reasons.
Ublock origin has been good and Freetube the best experience when it is working. And there’s always switching VPN to Albania to not be shown ads.
Firefox w/ uBlock Origin is still fine.
You’re right but I’m a LibreWolf guy myself. Firefox has been making too many shitty decisions (AI Integration things) for my liking.
uBlock works just fine for librewolf BTW.
Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser and suddenly went from an efficient browser to dogshit tier right next to edge. If I need to about: config AND look up how to disable some garbage a dev shoehorned in… I’ll spend that time downloading a browser that doesnt forget its only job is to render the thing I clicked on as quickly and efficiently as possible. If I want something more I’ll use an add-on.
FF doesnt have money, when google turned off the tap. i assume they are introducing AI now, because google wants that data for AI as well, they might have come to angreement that is not privy to the public.
It suure does work a charm.
Firefox lost me after they snuck ai bullshit into the browser
I hate AI and refuse to interact with it. Your statement is false. They didn’t sneak anything in - they openly added a feature that lets you connect an AI assistant of choice, or with a single click, disable it entirely.
When a patch rolls a feature in and has it on by default (see many articles about people having issues with runaway processor usage)… I’d consider that as close to sneaking as one can.
With regard to the “switch” - that’s what I thought too. I was mistaken. There’s quite a few flags to set in about: config. That was what pushed me over the edge. Its a good piece of software. Its a shame they made that choice and shipped it in the way they did.
C’est la vie. Every so many years a browser fucks up and sees a steady exodus to another. I have no allegiance to any of these corporations… If it works - I’ll use it. If it doesn’t I’ll find something else that does. If nothing else does… I’ll go without. Hard pass.
I think its high time people started leaning into becoming digital nomads again. These corporations are far to comfortable fucking with their userbase.
I would argue that they did in fact “sneak” Perplexity address bar search into the brower just weeks ago.
You know- you do you, yadda yadda
The problem is not the AI integration. Along with AI integration they changed their stance on data selling.
It went from “We promise to never sell your data” to “Firefox is secure!” Just as they were adding AI.
well its not surprising, they said it during/right after 1/6 insurrection they would STOP BLOCKING ELECTION DENIAL content, this set up the precedence of all the AI RIGHT WING content we see on the site.
Revanced and smart tube next
I will fight to my dieing breathe to help people deny alphabet any penny of ad revenue.
peertube
ive started to sub to creators paterons instead. ad-free and they get more money than youtube.
I also have 3 guest passes. Any time I find a video on YT that mentions Nebula I just go watch there instead.
Same here on both counts.
First 3 replies to this post asking for a guest pass will get one from me. It’s a free month of viewing anything through Nebula. (I recommend “The Prince” and “Lynchpins”.)
I would like a guest pass. I have wanted to try it out for a while now.
Sorry, you got “sniped”; I’ve already given away my 3, and I won’t get more until the new year.
Maybe you can score one from someone else?
I would like a guest pass. I frequently watch Practical Engineering on YT and Brady mentions Nebula a lot. I intended to check it out, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Can i get a guest pass? Pretty please?
I would like a guest pass too!
Nebula is cool because every creator on the platform becomes part owner, so it really gives creators on the platform good control of their content. I just wish that there was a way to federate video content between paid platforms so you can have one pane of glass to view stuff scattered across the web
Isn’t that just Grayjay?
You can access your nebula content on GrayJay. But GrayJay isn’t a platform you upload anything to, it’s just a way to watch content on many different platforms.
I wonder if it’s worth putting a request for the team to have that feature, although I’m guessing that would require API access that they can’t touch for legal reasons.
one pane of glass
Correct me if I’m wrong, but does your day job involve working with a bunch of “microservices”?
I have three guest passes I could send out if anyone would like to try out Nebula for a week. I’ll send you the redemption code via private message. Just reply to this thread or send me a message on Lemmy!
I’ll take one, if you don’t mind, I’ve heard everyone talk about it but never tried it
Sent! Please let me know if you ran into any snags with the redemption process!
Just activated! Thank you very much!
You got a code URL coming when I return from my lunch!
Thank you!
i would like to try if you still have a slot. tysm
Fresh out friend, but the week trial is new so anyone with Nebula should have codes if they haven’t already given them out, themselves!
i’d like one
You got the last of the three once I’m back from lunch.
I sent the message with the link to redeem. Let me know if you ran into any snags with the redemption process!
I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to send a DM using the Thunder client on my phone. Is your offer for the guest pass still available??
When I get back from lunch I’ll send the code URL.
Thank you it worked!
I sent the message with the link to redeem. Let me know if you ran into any snags with the redemption process!
yeah, anyway the monetizing is through sponsorship no? Like they sell something mid video, so I’m not sure how the platform is important here, apart from exposure
Advertising to the 12 people on peertube isnt the same as the millions on youtube.
But if you go you can make it 13.
A drop in the ocean raises the sea.
Rising tide raises all ships!
Maybe this will be his next move, if he doesn’t want that to happen anymore.
I hope he reappears on loops.video using Lignux :P
Why loops? Long videos aren’t what loops is for.
Yeah, he should go to Looooooooooooooooooooooooops
Loops is for Tiktok esque short form videos. PeerTube is more like YT in terms of content form.
Time to move on to the fediverse.
Serious question, not trolling.
Where can I upload? Is there something that doesn’t ride on the backbone of YT, etc?
I’ve been putting up useful videos for years, I’ve never advertised a thing, I don’t care if I make money. Just want to share my ideas. I’ve deleted 10 videos for every one I still have up. I trim stuff I don’t care about any more.
There’s loops maybe?
PeerTube
Unless I misunderstanding, perhaps you could inform me?
But doesn’t an individual have to set up an instance of their own peet tube and then host for you? So I would be looking at maybe 8 view per year?
No, it’s like Lemmy, you sign up to an instance and can post on it, and your channel is visible on the whole federated network.
And if PeerTube grows, the “Peer” aspect will be very significant. Basically it’s a torrent and the instance is always seeding, and while other users are watching, you will be sending them data and recieving data from them, lightening load on the instance. It’s a simple and clever system. You can turn the torrent feature off in case you need to hide your IP address.
Thank you for a most excellent explanation, you have explained every question I had in one
I would be more upset about this sort of shit happening to youtube about 10 or 15 years ago. If i need some information and theres a youtube video on it, the info is usually around 8 minutes in to a 30 minute video where they give shit loads of guff that nobody needs to know while telling you to smash that like button, hit the subscribe it really helps out the channel so if you like the content can you please subscribe dont forget to subscribe if you wanna see the channel grow then press subscribe dont miss a video by pressing subscribe I need you to subscribe here’s the information I promised but dont forget to subscribe hit that subscribe button if this helped you then leave a comment and dont forget to subscribe and like this video if you want to see more like this.
Just install sponsor block. It’s the only way to make YouTube bearable.
What kind of absolute dog water content do y’all watch where pressing the 5 second skip button isn’t good enough?
What premium version of YT are you using that adds a skip button on in video sponsorships?
The right and left buttons on the arrow keys? Is that the issue and why you need sponserblock?
I remember when you used to be able to just enter the Wadsworth constant in the URL and it would jump you right to the good stuff
I’m high and I don’t know what this means but it sounds absolutely fantastic.
check out the sponser block extension. i stopped using the app on mobile just to use the extension on firefox
Wadsworth Constant
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadsworth_constant_deviation_system
I think you meant this: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-wadsworth-constant
nah I was being silly.
Yeah, I was wondering if there was enough content on Nebula to make it worthwhile to pay. A lot of my favorite channels do this and it’s getting old. I understand this is how they make money, but that doesn’t mean I’m obligated to watch it. I can just move along.
