Comments by "Harry Mills" (@harrymills2770) on "Louder With Crowder Hazarded by Copyright Claims" video.

  1. Crowder is the only comedian in the world who can't do parody, because of "copyright." He's targeted because he's conservative.

  2. People like me need to change platforms, but we're lazy and YouTube has a big lead on content. What I'd do for a competing platform is take the best asynchronous chat (sbnation.com), and recruit trusted commenters to monitor the comments. Sites on sbnation did that, and volunteers did a great job, and those volunteer jobs translated into real jobs down the road. Seth Keysor now has a job as a football analyst, and there are many others, B.J. Kissel now works for the KC Chiefs after doing some of his OWN videos for Arrowheadpride.com, which is under the sbnation.com umbrella. I think there are distributed ways of managing channels such as this - ways of delegating to up-and-comers - that would create a vibrant medium that employs as many (or more) people than the major legacy networks ever did. It can be a way to make a little money off the sites you visit for entertainment and information. I think you guys are on the cusp of discovering how to actually make it all work, and if you DO, then you will have hordes of individuals cooperating, which will simply out-mass anything rich people can manage with their top-down, corporate style of control.

  3. I think if you do it, right, and focus on vetting and recruiting your monitors, it's quite scalable. The bigger you get, the more good people you've got. Make use of them. The BIG channels throw up their hands at monitoring their own channel, but if you recruit as you grow, the small percentage of destroyers just get out-massed by the larger number of good people. Rather than worry about the handful of destroyers (complainers and red-flagger lefties), make THEM worry about the TWO handfuls of good people you recruited to keep a lid on the "Kill All Jews!" assholes (most of whom are probably lefties trying to submarine good sites, in my opinion). The sbnation.com comment sections are the best I've seen, and they treat their software as proprietary. But I bet a good programmer or team of programmers could achieve the exact same functionality, quite independently. The 'z' key scrolls you to the next un-read comment, so you can re-visit a story that interests you and see what the replies were. YouTube comments are so crappy that it's too much work for me to ever go back and read replies. I just spew into the ether and move on, leaving a cloud of shit in my wake.
