  1. Men have been arrested and jailed for promoting cold-approach online in Scotland. New anti-misogyny laws are coming.

  2. I've had ads running once every minute if you view via a TV earlier tonight for one video (where you can't adblock). It's likely that Google is trying to make the ads so annoying and frequent that people will flock to subscribe to Premium.

  3. Been using Arch Linux (wouldn't recommend it for a beginner!) for almost a decade. Microsoft provides another justification for that move.

  4. Creeps if they do, cowards if they don't. It's a no win situation. You're judged, condemned and ridiculed no matter what.

  5. Another example of the crackdown that is coming to sexual content and outlets that isn't in the bedroom between two (at least) consenting adults without payment "for women's and children's safety". It won't stop with ASMR and adult websites, far from it.

  6. Meanwhile the men who went their own way sit back, crack open a cold beer and laugh.

  7. It'll be worse. Not only will that ID requirement be mandated for those sites, it will be mandated for ANY website that is deemed not suitable for children (anything PG or higher). Many websites won't be able to afford to implement their own system. This might be why Elon is looking at paywalling X, to create a social media site with everyone verified by ID that can also be used by other sites to verify ID without the expense for websites.

  8. I fear if McNeil is paid, he publicly declares victory, declares he was right and declares open season for all copyright and IP owners to comb UK YouTube channels for their content to levy royalty and licensing invoices on individual channels, including images, video, music, even fonts. The many thousands they will be charged in fees will put them out of business to the point where only large corporate media outlets who can afford the fees will be able to continue uploading content to YouTube in the UK.

  9. There's a lot of "Karens" or Stasi informants as I would call them. Ironic that a feminist who would normally bang on about consent wants you to be compelled to wear a mask even if you refuse to consent.

  10. I think an increasing number of men feel the same way. Where they don't exist to women and find out the hard way that they were lied to about the nature of dating to spare their feelings and give them false hope.

  11. UK: We require everyone to implement real time facial recognition informed by Government photo ID to verify the identity of any website user at any time from March 2025. US: Hold my beer.

  12. It might not be around for much longer. Twitter has started legal proceedings which would require Meta to cease and desist running Threads on grounds of violating trade secrets and intellectual property.

  13. If they do, it will be under pressure from media conglomerates and intellectual property rights holders in the same way streaming services and Governments are being lobbied to deal with "the VPN problem".

  14. YouTube seems intent on censoring my entire comments. One just disappeared despite having no abuse, swearing or policy infringing content within.

  15. YouTube wants to be CorpTube but like the change of colour of eBay's background from yellow to white, can't do it instantly without backlash. They have to change slowly.

  16.  @BusJustice  A small percent of men subscribing to OnlyFans content still adds up to tens of millions of men worldwide.

  17.  @justmemememe3354  The same Alexander (DatePsychology) referenced in this video also did a survey asking women if they would report a man for unwanted or unrequited attention. 20% of women said they would report someone to an authority figure such as HR or the Police. How do men determine if someone will do that when there is no cues or hints forthcoming?

  18. Shadowbanning should be considered a form of psychological abuse.

  19. Move to the UK? They've just passed the Online Safety Bill which will very soon become law.

  20. I for one welcome the Beanie Broadcasting Corporation.

  21. The inflation paradox - as prices rise and people stop spending, prices rise more to make up for the lost sales from those who can still afford it.

  22. While Tate's detractors will focus on his behaviour, allegations and rhetoric that we can agree is reprehensible. And for that, the law will deal with the allegations (he has due process) and the antisceptic of sunlight on his ideas will defeat them. But it is what Tate represents, the fundamental ideas behind masculinity being good and bachelorhood as a legitimate life choice and the men who consume such content is what his detractors REALLY want to have cancelled. It will not end with Tate, far from it. I'm already seeing other creators being targeted for cancellation and we are going to see a new ban wave. I worry about the fallout and what will happen to single men, ostracised and shamed from society who could be ripe for ideologues to target.

  23. You will be banned from hating (previously known as critiquing or scrutinising) certain people. Everyone else will be subject to the Two Minutes Hate.

  24. And if she pays, he publicly declares victory and will encourage every other copyright and IP owner to go after other UK content creators for bumper pay days and easy money. This will be grim for UK content creators who will simply be unable to continue producing content because they'll either go bust paying the invoices or go bust paying the licensing fees these people will charge - which will be excessive as they see independent media as a threat to their income stream.

  25. Channel 4 documentary airing about it so it's publicity for that programme.

  26. Inevitable I fear as he was advocating for features via the app that YouTube wants you to pay for which they would consider piracy and hence illegal. FUTO may have already been served a cease and desist for their app. Don't get me wrong, I like the concept they're trying to do but I did warn that this would happen when it was announced and sadly, it appears I have been proven right.

  27. Hope those Twitch ladies paid their taxes.

  28.  @Hacker-PTW  This is akin to me forcing you to wear a certain pair of shoes and if you say no, I shame you on social media, try to get you fired and other consequences. It is never acceptable to engage in mob mentality, particularly for something that is not established in scientific consensus. We are starting to see the consequences of this mentality where we forgo all freedom for "safety", where the state dictates what we do and we comply. 1984 is not an inspiration, it is a warning.

  29. YouTube would rather you paid for Premium, pay for channels and watch ads. It's what happened with cable television, satellite television and it's starting to happen with streaming services.

  30. Steven Crowder found out the hard way. As did Destiny.

  31. The Home Secretary is now taking aim at Meta. This has gone beyond one MP, they're all in on becoming drunk with power.

  32. "Sorry Femcel, you're not entitled to a chad".

  33.  @Spaethon  I was thinking it will be more like cable TV.

  34.  @nothanks3236  At this point, they are so desperate to make a profit that they'll do anything. And the winds of change for everyone at the moment particularly since the financial downturn is to rely less on advertising revenue and more on revenue from the user.

  35. Everyone has to move at the same time or it is pointless. But organising that would be difficult both logistically and financially. Either everyone will have to move and go behind a paywall (like what a number of documentary creators did with Nebula) or they're going to take a massive hit. And many people won't pay. Also, Rumble needs to be ready for the traffic, storage and features (it doesn't support casting to TV when I last checked).

  36. That will be a legal requirement from March in the UK for all websites not "safe for kids". Which is practically all of them that isn't CBeebies.

  37. For the free users. In order to nudge you toward Premium.

  38. I wanted to critique corporations who will be cheering on this hack in case the data hacked could allow them to go after downloaders and uploaders legally through the courts as they would like to see the Internet Archive disappear. YouTube deems that to be deeply offensive and deletes such comments.

  39. In the UK, there have been reports of the Police being stationed in bars and nightclubs to deal with unwanted attention from men. Not rejections where men won't take no for an answer, merely their presence offending someone or making them uncomfortable. People can't afford the risk of losing their job, their home and everything because someone took offence and you've now fallen foul of the law.

  40. I get the impression that the only way for now to increase the fertility rate is Taylor Swift announcing her pregnancy.

  41. It's actually worse. The people with these titles are not legally recognised as having the legal right to use these titles. If you use that title to receive goods or services, it is by deception and legally, you have committed fraud. That carries a prison sentence. Not just a scam but it could inadvertently make people commit a serious offence under the law!

  42. People tend to look at the role of teacher from a position of ignorance and lacking of knowledge. Speaking from a UK perspective, if the job of teacher was so cushy, why do we have a teacher shortage as opposed to people lining up to do the job?

  43. This is why in the UK Government photo ID (as currently used for example, on gambling websites) will no longer be acceptable. They will have to implement real time facial recognition that is informed by Government photo ID in order to verify who is viewing a website at any time. KOSA doesn't seem to require this but eventually the US Government will follow suit because the UK is being treated as the leader in "online safety".

  44.  @johnhanzelyjr  Try watching on a smart TV. All the ads and they're unskippable to boot!

  45. It's coming to the US. They will find a way to make it exempt from or bypass the First Amendment.

  46. Ironically, the UK is looking toward the North Korean Kwangmyong with envy and inspiration.

  47. This is a UK problem that has consequences for UK content creators. Sega Lord X isn't resident in the UK so he will be fine.

  48. Governments would prefer it if adults were not on the Internet either. They would rather want you on a national Intranet that is curated and regulated by them. If anything, there is a push in the UK to not just ban the Internet for children but all technology. "For your own safety", Government advocates will say.

  49. The law will apply to VPN's that operate in the UK. There was a proposal by Labour to outright ban VPN's through an amendment that didn't happen. However, Labour is looking very likely to win the next General Election.

  50. And they look upon North Korea with envy and inspiration. However unlike North Korea, shutting ourselves off from the world would decimate the economy.
