[876.98 --> 880.00] It's generally considered spam. |
[880.00 --> 884.36] Oh, so they bundle it under that. |
[884.48 --> 885.82] So, they're calling it spam. |
[886.08 --> 886.36] Okay. |
[886.40 --> 890.58] And if you're a spammer, I can see how they wouldn't necessarily want you to be live streaming on the platform. |
[891.02 --> 891.22] Yes, yeah. |
[891.44 --> 895.18] Because live streaming goes on the top of the channel and is very broadcasted by them. |
[895.18 --> 900.98] The interesting thing to me about this, though, is just the fact that YouTube is... |
[900.98 --> 904.76] I haven't signed anything, so I guess I could talk about it. |
[904.82 --> 909.18] They are actively seeking non-disparagement agreements from YouTubers. |
[909.50 --> 910.22] I do know this. |
[910.76 --> 921.02] I can't really give any details of the rest of it, but I do know that there are people who have been approached with some kind of an offer that includes that. |
[921.02 --> 940.16] We can see that they are cracking down on people using YouTube as a social media platform in order to grow their base across other platforms, which previously was against their terms and conditions, but was generally ignored and generally allowed to continue. |
[940.16 --> 952.58] And they are also building new features that are designed to prevent people from using off-platform services like Patreon, for example, by making YouTube more of a one-stop shop. |
[952.78 --> 955.50] Now, there are really good things about this. |
[955.50 --> 971.76] It's good that YouTube is finally, seemingly taking seriously creators' demands for better ways to monetize on the platform because over the last year, there's been a lot of negative news around the way that YouTube has handled monetization, especially with edgier... |
[971.76 --> 972.60] Let's use that word. |
[972.70 --> 973.60] Edgier creators. |
[973.60 --> 973.72] Sure, yeah. |
[973.72 --> 988.34] But the bad news is that if every platform behaved like this, every social platform has the potential to become kind of like a jealous walled garden. |
[988.34 --> 1000.84] And it's yet another move towards abstracting the relationship between the viewer and the creator and putting themselves squarely in the middle so that you can never really bridge that gap. |
[1000.84 --> 1003.42] That's something that services like Patreon. |
[1003.58 --> 1013.44] And of course, guys, take everything I'm saying for what it is as the CEO and COO of Floatplane Media, okay? |
[1013.44 --> 1017.82] A company that is designed around off-YouTube monetization. |
[1018.46 --> 1021.92] Take it for what it is as conflict of interest-y as it is. |
[1022.04 --> 1023.02] Extremely much so. |
[1023.10 --> 1025.72] It is a scary thing for content creators. |
[1025.80 --> 1029.32] And this isn't a new message from me or us in general. |
[1029.32 --> 1032.38] We said this far, far, far before we started Floatplane. |
[1032.38 --> 1035.64] Six years ago, we launched the Linus Tech Tips Forum. |
[1035.74 --> 1037.02] Actually, five and a half, I guess. |
[1037.46 --> 1038.50] Five and a half years ago. |
[1038.62 --> 1053.10] And the reason was that we saw YouTube's continual march in this direction of separating the viewer and the creator and putting themselves in the middle so that both of them were reliant on the platform in order to have any kind of a relationship. |
[1053.10 --> 1067.68] And we created the LTT forum so that worst case scenario, if something went horribly wrong, we could email at least a fraction of you and be like, hey, here's where to contact us or DM you through the forum or whatever the case may be. |
[1067.74 --> 1071.40] I actually have no idea if we'd even be allowed to do that anymore with all the new privacy stuff. |
[1071.40 --> 1074.86] But emailing everybody, probably no, because that would be a marketing email. |
[1074.94 --> 1076.76] But we could PM everyone, I guess. |
[1076.86 --> 1076.98] Cool. |
[1077.08 --> 1078.20] Because that's our own inbox. |
[1078.42 --> 1079.52] Yeah, I would think so. |
[1079.64 --> 1079.98] On an email. |
[1080.12 --> 1082.66] Anyway, I mean, we haven't gotten to that bridge. |
[1082.74 --> 1083.02] I don't know. |
[1083.14 --> 1083.82] We don't have to cross it right now. |
[1083.82 --> 1086.44] I'd look down it because I don't want the EU to be really mad with us. |
[1086.62 --> 1086.82] Yeah. |
[1086.92 --> 1087.10] Yeah. |
[1087.26 --> 1088.22] So, yeah. |
[1088.46 --> 1090.30] Well, forget about that for now. |
[1090.34 --> 1098.40] But the point is, we wanted to diversify ourselves and not be entirely reliant on one basket to store all of our eggs. |
[1098.40 --> 1100.40] And there's still some validity to that strategy. |
[1100.60 --> 1102.42] And there's other ways we've done that as well. |
[1102.50 --> 1102.68] Yeah. |
[1103.08 --> 1104.28] Like this being on Twitch. |
[1104.98 --> 1113.28] But with all that said, I mean, I guess this is a good opportunity for us to segue into YouTube introducing paid subscriptions and merchandise. |
[1113.86 --> 1117.36] So, the original article here, this was posted by Bobby Flow on the forum. |
[1118.16 --> 1119.40] Wait, this might be a... |
[1120.00 --> 1121.00] No, actually, no. |
[1121.04 --> 1122.16] I don't think this is a new record. |
[1122.30 --> 1124.30] 15 minutes in and getting to our first tech topic. |
[1124.36 --> 1125.38] I think we've done worse than that. |
[1125.48 --> 1126.08] Yeah, we have. |
[1126.58 --> 1126.98] Okay. |
[1126.98 --> 1131.28] So, the original article is from the YouTube blog here posted by whoever I just said on the forum. |
[1131.38 --> 1133.06] I can't remember and I can't see the... |
[1133.06 --> 1134.66] And it's arguably a tech topic. |
[1135.80 --> 1136.20] No. |
[1136.88 --> 1138.46] Anything Google is tech. |
[1139.20 --> 1139.54] See, okay. |
[1139.58 --> 1146.90] We had this conversation, I think, last show where it was an Amazon topic that had to do with, like, people scamming returns. |
[1147.44 --> 1148.18] That's tech. |
[1148.28 --> 1148.54] How? |
[1149.02 --> 1150.16] Amazon's a tech company. |
[1150.34 --> 1150.86] They're like a... |
[1150.86 --> 1152.80] They're a store that's online. |
[1152.80 --> 1156.86] Do they have servers? |
[1157.08 --> 1159.36] So, is every company a tech company? |
[1160.08 --> 1162.78] The, like, random law that's down the street that has a server. |
[1162.78 --> 1164.42] If you ask Ford, they're a tech company. |
[1164.68 --> 1165.42] Oh, goodness. |
[1165.94 --> 1166.44] They are. |
[1166.60 --> 1167.06] They actually... |
[1167.06 --> 1167.22] Okay. |
[1167.30 --> 1168.60] No, I would actually say, yeah, they are. |
[1168.64 --> 1170.24] They're reinventing themselves to be a tech company. |
[1170.34 --> 1171.44] I have that from the... |
[1171.44 --> 1172.28] I think he was the CEO? |
[1172.96 --> 1173.38] I don't remember. |
[1173.52 --> 1174.64] I would say Ford's a tech company. |
[1174.64 --> 1178.04] I did that sponsored thing with them a little while ago with that famous guy. |
[1178.80 --> 1179.74] Famous host guy. |
[1180.50 --> 1181.10] Ryan Seacrest. |
[1181.24 --> 1181.74] Oh, yeah. |
[1181.84 --> 1182.24] That was fun. |
[1182.24 --> 1182.48] Yeah, yeah. |
[1182.48 --> 1190.62] I would say I met him, but I really didn't because he was in on the private jet, in that room for, like, 30 minutes. |
[1190.62 --> 1203.56] And then before we even realized he was gone, he was actually in a private car back to the airport before anyone actually, like, the rest of the influencers actually realized he was gone. |
[1204.72 --> 1207.32] To go back to the airfield to get back on the private jet. |
[1208.02 --> 1215.06] And I actually heard a rumor about how much that cost, but I don't know if I would be, like, compromising anyone. |
[1215.06 --> 1220.06] I will say it wasn't seven figures, but it was... |
