Google & Facebook Filtering FAKE NEWS?? - WAN Show April 7, 2017

[@GaryBusey-sLaserdiscCollection]

Just call it Titan XP Service Pack 2.

[@Kurukx]

For another $1200 :)

[@Theninja114]

Problem with VR is it's so hard to advertise. It's like trying to advertise a 4k tv on a 1080p screen. But even harder.

[@EastyUK]

Hollow114 certainly, reason HTC had their coach driving around the country prior to releasing. I think they sold a lot more than they expected solely due to getting on ppls heads through demos.

[@Techno4more]

Yeah there realllly needs to be vr booths in stores. It would help sells tremendously IMO

[@lachyconway]

Absolutely, I've never had the chance to try VR other than the cheap Gear VR from Samsung. There's no way I'm spending $500 on something I've never even seen in person.

[@Nezz609]

They actually have something like this at my local mall. I think it is for the Playstation VR though.

[@Pr3DaToRx12]

Here in Germany there are many Stores that have a VR booth to try it

[@LeonardoBaez]

why no manufacturer is offering 1080 hdr?

[@ProlificPianist]

Thank you very murch

[@theUglyManowar]

because 1080p is a horrible compromise when u even jump to 1440p. ( So ugly. loss in clarity... sharpness.. eye ease legibility ) Heck I would never consider even returning to a 1080p phone after 2k AMOLED where the true darks are just so sexy and sharp with the rise in pixel sharp fidelity. And I can't imagine that most phone owners can be happy when returning to 1080p is such a negative experience comparatively. I suppose TV viewers might convince themselves but anyone who lives in and relies on the crisp sharp advantage fidelity gives the GUI interface... There is no comparison? Id rather have the color accuracy of HDR than 4k... But I at least want 1440p (which also gets me speed too )

[@N3XUS6]

So who fact checks the fact checkers?

[@Slenderman63323]

How many facts can a fact checker check if the fact checker checks facts that need a fact checker? The fact checker needs a fact checker to fact check the fact checked facts, to make sure the fact checking is properly checking facts.

[@johnrmcclure1]

The biggest problem isn't that people don't want to associate with certain hate groups or otherwise.... the problem is what is being "Labeled" as hate... many times... just criticizing someone gets you labeled as someone who is perpetuating "Hate" and this is getting much worse lately.

[@davemiller7265]

[@ericm4658]

Google just has an algorithm, it's mostly based on things like word choice in titles KZbin is too big to do it any other way

[@drewlovli7299]

Eric M you're making it out like the algorithm was just birthed into existence and chooses what it wants to ban. A team of people made it and maintain it, these people decided what is filtered by the algorithm and since google likes to hire people like Anita sarkeesian to stop the spread of ideas then it wouldn't be surprising if they just block anyone who criticises sjw's

[@ericm4658]

The point is any savvy user could have seen this coming and reacted accordingly Having provocative titles wasn't a path to success in the long term You're acting like content producers have no obligation to think about youtubes obvious priorities. Are they going to curate content other than IP? If so how are they going to do it? Titles was the obvious answer to their problem

[@DominicEdmondsMusic]

Love this episode, watched it twice. The facial expressions in moments where they can't or don't want to talk about something are a thing of beauty.

[@GoldenKingStudio]

Call it the Titan Vista just to spite Nvidia!

[@vanheflin3015]

Thought we where calling it Titan 8. Then when they refreshed it, call it Titan 8.1. Then we could skip Titan 9 then call it Titan 10.

Scott is the man!!! Great to see him on the show, a big fan of what he did at Tech Report!

[@prycenewberg3976]

I feel like we've missed a point or two in regard to youtube's practices. I cannot honestly say that I care what Google or KZbin decide to do. What I care about is that there is practically no competition. *From anyone*. You can spout Twitch all you want, but do you really believe for one second that Twitch is intruding on KZbin's business?? We need a proper competitor to KZbin that gives creators and viewers a second option.

[@DrewTNaylor]

What about Vidme? It's creator-centric.

[@prycenewberg3976]

I am aware that other sites exist, but can you honestly say that they compete with KZbin? KZbin isn't competing with any of them. None of those sites attract nearly as many people as does KZbin. Yes, they exist, no, they are not competing... actually, let me rephrase that: They are not *competitive* with KZbin.

The problem is when channels like Computing Forever routinely have their videos demonetized for no apparent reason.

UGH. THE Titan 10. 10 = X We will finally reach full circle.

[@vincentbrassard7252]

Really appreciate the concept of this particular show. I've been watching the WAN show for a while and I definitely like the interactions between Luke and Linus though the addition of Scott and the thin line between reporting and business like comments and opinions makes this one stand out to me! Thanks guys/girls !

[@BothHands1]

They're demonitizing videos on almost all the LGBT creators that I watch. These people are not hateful - they've had makeup tutorials demonitized, they've had coming out videos demonitized and put on adult mode - as well as videos for the youth to tell them how to handle being gay. Many of the creators I watch have had up to 90% of their stuff demonitized. It's not ok at all.

[@Triflixfilms]

Danielle Spargo They also demonetized the conservative and libertarian channels that I watch... a lot of them just talk about current events in the news. While you and I likely view the world from different perspectives, at least we can come together and agree this censorship is wrong. It's hurting the wrong people.

[@BothHands1]

TriFlix Films agreed. I think this all started with PewDiePie's prank video where he got some Indian guys to hold up a sign that said "kill all Jews" or something. Really sucks how far-reaching the implications of a joke have become. I wonder if this is all done by bots, or if people from opposite sides of the isle are flagging each other.

[@Triflixfilms]

Danielle Spargo "Snowflakes" are tagging my side's videos and "alt right" are flagging your sides. It selfdestructive and petty. By attacking each other they are in turn, destroying themselves. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Benjamin Franlin "Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock." -Sigmund Frued One of my favorite quotes. Productive conversation need to be made, rather than insults and divison.

[@exidrial431]

+TriFlix Films Seeking meaningful political engagement on KZbin is pointless. Almost nobody engages in meaningful conversation and instead resorts to calling each other names like little children. It all comes down to "The evil white male" "Oh the patriarchy" "Ohhhh alt-right skadjasf" "Special snowflake libtards!" "There are 32584 different genders and sexual orientations LBGTQHLMABCDEFG+ WAWAWAWAWA" The same can be said about hardware though, Nvidia vs AMD vs Intel, PS vs XBox .... Urgh, welcome to KZbin comments, you just got cancer.

[@BothHands1]

Exidrial - TriFlix and I were having a reasonably respectful discourse, and the only trolls here are on the red side. Specifically, El Diablo, who's suggesting that elimination of the freedom of speech regarding lgbt issues is saving lives. You're also clearly here to passive aggressively take shots at liberals under my post mentioning lgbt issues, while pretending you're speaking to TriFlix. It's not helpful, and it's quite hypocritical, given the content of your post.. My primary reason for posting this was not to have childish arguments, but to comment on the video, which suggested that conservatives were being hit harder than liberals - I only wanted to point out that it's affecting both sides, and perhaps we should put differences aside regarding this issue, as it affects us all. Perhaps it was a different video that suggested the red side was being hit harder than the blue - I don't recall, but I definitely remember Linus saying that primarily only hate speech being removed, and I was pointing out that very important, and completely hate-free resources are being defunded.

[@ElonSmallPP]

To the Google and Facebook topic: there is no way I would even consider paying the fine or changing my policies due to a bill introduced in a particular country. I would tell them that it is not the responsibility of the company unless the content is abusive or threatening in a manner that violates an individuals rights. I would tell them that if they want the content removed then they need to submit that request through the proper channels and that my company will not be dedicating internal resources to police the users of my product.

[@DanielRichards644]

So Early the video title is 2017 04 07 18 49 41

[@DanielRichards644]

yup, date and time is standard naming for KZbin uploads if you don't give it a name prior to upload

[@Surtistuff]

DanielRichards644 not correct. KZbin doesn't name videos. It just copies the name of the file at first unless it has some invalid characters.

[@triforce228]

DanielRichards644 no, the file name is standard

[@totisa93]

We use date and time for file names pretty frequently because thats constantly changing. So you never end up with the same file name thus no error. Sometimes we even use some hashing algorithm on it for example md5. Yes md5 is vulnerable but for a file name its good enough

[@becauseitscurrentyear8397]

1:10:20 The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19. "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." preamble "Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people" "keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction. " This says nothing about private platforms. these rights are meant for governments to write laws and secure for people. the freedom of speech still applies, it is the freedom of association would be a better argument to justify the advertising revenue to discriminate. "Article 17. (1) Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others. (2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property." This is a weak argument still. Because of the monopolized nature of large social media. it has become the best and only platform for the little guy, and so the implementation of such policies are to large to simply say that "a private company owns the platform. take it or leave it" because the effect is that those people are stifled in their speach they are encouraged to self censor for monetary gain systematically.

[@prycenewberg3976]

I agree with your sentiment, but I disagree with your conclusion. KZbin, as a company, has the right to *not* host beliefs with which they disagree. The big problem that I have with KZbin's exorcising of that right is their virtual monopoly of internet videos. KZbin does not have a proper competitor and it needs one. *DESPERATELY*. I support their right to filter the content that they host, even if I disagree with their targets and the lies that they tell to justify their filtering.

[@becauseitscurrentyear8397]

I'm not blaming KZbin. They have fought hard to allow content. It is not them who is in the wrong here, it is the governments, dinosaur media and corporations that are doing this. l would argue these social media sites are being compelled to censor politically inconvenient content.

[@krich106]

I fail to see the point. For if you're in my house and do something I do not like, you're getting kicked out.

[@becauseitscurrentyear8397]

+Keith R That is my point. KZbin and Facebook are not your house. They are platforms for communication that were developed by company. My argument is that KZbin or Facebook or Twitter are public platforms much like the town square. This censorship is being imposed on the internet as though it is like tv broadcasting however it is not, its a conversation that the whole world is having, and Facebook and KZbin make up the majority of traffic. this comes at a time when governments are threatening to fine 50,000,000 euros for not removing "fake news" fast enough, while people are arrested for online decent, the propaganda wheels are turning full speed and failing to keep up with the internet.

[@krich106]

So you're saying because by default it "Feels" these sites are public domain, that they should be treated as public instead of private? Sort of hard to draw a line, when you can't see the boundaries.

[@philipdijkstra]

[@iAimlock]

he was so scared talking about vega. probably because the new Titan was released.

[@leedilverson2196]

MaxTehLegend .... riiiiiiiiight don'cha just love how nvidia kicks its fans in the face right after the 1080 then followed by Titan old XP followed by 1080 Ti then again kicking us in the face with the all "NEW" Titan official XP...

[@iAimlock]

Nvidia have more money than sense

[@leedilverson2196]

MaxTehLegend Nvidia milks money but i prefer AMD cause cheaper and longer lifespan plus i don't care for more than 60fps ultra 1080p settings. only retards would spend thousands every year for Intel and nvidia

[@iAimlock]

nvidia milk the fuck out of their GPU's, but i still don't perfer AMD. despite nvidia overpricing their GPU's by milking and cutting things off GPU's to save and get more money. but AMD's drivers make their GPU's unusable. my friend bought a brand new RX 480 only to be greeted with DX Error on ALL his games that he played. leaving him with the only option to replace it with a 1060. i hate nvidia and AMD but atleast Nvidia's GPU's actually work.

[@leedilverson2196]

MaxTehLegend sometimes you just need to have a leap of faith for AMD and you my friend, tell your friend I'm sorry for his loss on DX errors but my 480 seems to work quite well... people have bad luck sometimes and it is truly sad for people like us

[@hereiam2005]

In advertisement, the people who are buying those advertisement spots are the customers, not the people who are watching the videos. And as paying customers, they have the right to buy what they want, and if they don't get what they want, they have the right to refuse to buy it. This is entirely between the seller of advertisement (KZbin) and the buyer of advertisement (Advertisers). The opinion of third parties (video viewers) is completely irrelevant.

[@tigerd7528]

If Vega cannot at least match 1080Ti high end GPU market is gonna really suck.

[@Phoen1xR6]

tiger d but even if they could match the base 1080 at half the price then crossfire builds will rules as the mid-high range along with ryzen if games receive an ashes like patch for a performance boost

[@hoihi1095]

salt btw nvidia is dead if vega realeases

[@M10-z1q]

A few months ago people said they would be happy if it matches a 1080 for cheaper. Then it was the Titan. Now a 1080ti. If Vega doesn't meet your expectations you guys have no one to blame but yourselves.

[@jfevia]

Wow that was a real nice guest. He had a mature opinion on some topics and actually made me think seriously about building a full AMD system. Been planning for a while to do it. Please, bring him more often to your channel :)

[@SbotTV]

First things first, let's come out with an accepted definition of hate speech. Here's my idea of it: Hate speech is any type of media intentionally provoking violence (including discrimination) against a particular group of people. Hate speech can no longer be considered down to political opinion when the arguments made are primarily based on logical fallacies, and are more nuanced than they are presented to be. For example, the following hypothetical headline would not be hate speech (I don't actually agree with this position, I'm just using it to illustrate a point) It's not the taxpayers' responsibility to pay for transgender surgery in a socialized healthcare program You can see that, while this is an editorial, it does calmly present its idea, and does not encourage grabbing of pitchforks, nor is it intentionally inflammatory. However, this hypothetical headline IS hate speech BREAKING NEWS: [Insert Transgender Woman Slur] just used HIS public healthcare to get a nose-job! Those confused wimps are ruining our country! While this has a similar message to the previous headline, the presentation inspires hate against transgender people. It makes a point of using the opposite pronouns the individual prefers to demoralize her, specifically. It also glosses over the fact that a rhinoplasty might be included in standard surgical procedures (I wouldn't know, but we're speaking hypothetically). Then it makes the irrational jump to the conclusion that this group of people is causing the reader harm just because of this anecdotal evidence. This inspires fear to back up the hatred of these people. In short, the difference between hate speech and legitimate political opinion is in the presentation. If it appeals to the lowest-common-denominator, it's probably hate speech. Basically, if you publish content which takes a stance against a group of people, you don't get to have an advantage over the basic facts of reality simply because your text makes a couple of rednecks who probably didn't even read enough to understand the debate anyway angry. Don't publish bullshit.

[@magottyk]

Your summary excludes an important distinction. It's only hate speech if the target is a protected group. That's the problem with definitions of hate speech, because for the rhetoric to be called hate speech requires discrimination against non protected groups as it currently stands. The fact that protected groups exist is discrimination of itself and one could argue that it is hateful towards the unprotected.

[@samharris3508]

That's the point though. Free speech is there to protect things that are completely offensive because offensive is a subjective thing. What I feel about your expression shouldn't preclude you from expression nor should it preclude me from thinking things about you. Point is, sure it may be a scummy thing to post completely bullshit articles, but they are well within their right to do so, and are we willing to sacrifice our 1st ammendment right, just in an effort to not hurt feelings? And where would it end? It could start off as innocently as, "lets pass some laws so no one can post anything or say anything the could possibly offend anyone". And could it potentionally snowball into where opposing views, are completely silenced, all under the guise of political correctness. The only way to prevent from ever happening that is to protect all speech, even offensive speech.

[@SbotTV]

+Sam Harris, you should remember that nobody is suggesting that the government ban this type of speech. Google, being a respectable company with its own interests, should have some clear and transparent policies dictating what it will and will not support. Nothing should stop users from simply typing in the URL into the search bar and going directly to the site. Google doesn't owe any money to us, directly, so we are not entitled to a portion of their ad revenue. They have a reputation to maintain to keep advertisers happy (they are a company, after all). Obviously, they want as many advertising opportunities as possible, which means posting ads on as many sites as possible, but they can't start supporting sites like the Silk Road. As such, it should be clear what types of media Google finds acceptable. Right now, they want to disassociate from shitty tabloid-esque publications, now referred to as 'fake news'. We should be glad that they aren't just out-right banning them. It's their website, they can do what they like with it. If you don't like what Google is doing, there are plenty of other search engines out there (for example DuckDuckGo, use it, it's great!). When Google is the only game in town, then we can start worrying about infringements upon the First Amendment.

[@samharris3508]

I agree with everything you said. It is its own enterprise and they can police it how they see fit, others will crop up to fill the void. I think the issue that I see and what a lot of other people see, with the whole deomonitization issue is, with the Mainstream media dying and with their trust in the American being virtually nonexistent at the moment, they needed to blame someone or something for their low viewerships. They saw that some youtubers got more traffic through their channels in a single day, than the MSM could get in an entire week, and a lot of those channels were labeled conservative channels. Google leans heavily towards the left, and the channels that they deemed offensive or inappropriate were demonitized, a lot of the conservative channels i follow seem to have been hit hard while the liberal channels seem to be okay for the time being. A lot of people see this as a way of filtering information for the public eye, by cutting the funding for those channels. Again google and youtube are well within their right to do so.

[@samharris3508]

It just seems that the right side is being hit harder than the left, and both sides spew about the same amount of fake news crap on to this site. It does not appear that youtube is concerned with "fake" news as much as they are with silencing the opposition, with step one being demonitizing them. I could be wrong, i tend to follow more conservative channels than the liberal ones, but there seems to be a definitive trend.

[@moswoswaggorn2137]

Just to be clear: The law Germany wants to pursue is not putting a 500.000€ fine on not deleting fake news within 24 hours but rather not deleting them when they have been reported. And as far as I can tell it also says just people that are directly offended by these posts are eligible to report them (meaning companys or groups of people).

The problem with marketing/branding is that it shifted from a focus on product usefulness to a focus on how the product will give the consumer an identity. A message of product usefulness is not impacted the same way as a message of identity is, when the advertisement appears before a vulgar/crude video. I for one watch this channel (and others like it) because I like to be informed about the products I spend my money on, and I don't allow myself to believe the lie "if I buy a this pair of rgb shoe(or fill in whatever product you want), I will suddenly be cool"

[@vertonical]

If RX Vega cannot match 1080ti, then it's an engineering failure.

[@AnthonySalierno]

vertonical no it's not, having the best thing isn't the goal, what if the made a 1080 competitor the price of a 1070 or 1060? That would being a engineering masterpiece

Hoi hi No it's not. But Vega will be DOA if it's not out and out faster than 1080ti.

Well, I'd rather have Google or Facebook do it than the Trump adminiatration. Sorry Trump, despite what you say on Twitter, every article calling you out on screw ups is not "FAKE NEWS!"

[@buffaloxp]

I feel like this guy is Colton's future self. lol

[@edwardecl]

Well apparently there is the other issue with KZbin ads, a lot of people are getting singled out as a channel and not having ads shown even if the video don't violate rules and are supposedly monetized.

[@scannerman777]

Here's what it comes down to : KZbin pays less and keeps more. That's the bottom line. It always has been.

"But, but apple has ALL the money." - AMD, April 2017

[@ahettinger525]

Traditional publishing companies have NEVER made money online. Their problem is that on-line is a fundamentally better way to deliver information than traditional media. It's faster and cheaper. Because it's both faster and cheaper, people aren't willing to wait for the next paper to be delivered. Because it's so much cheaper, there has been an incredible increase in content out there, which makes it a matter of supply and demand: the supply for content has greatly outstripped the demand for it, causing people to not value it as highly. Since so few are willing to pay for content, the only way for content providers to make money is to operate on ads (and let's be clear, most major papers have ran ads *in addition* to their subscription rates). Ads reward eyeballs, eyeballs can be gotten by tabloid headlines (well, now we say "clickbait" but it's the older term for it).

Best episode yet IMO.

Did you completely miss the huge Mac news? That was unprecedented I'm surprised you didn't mention it.

30 Views, I think that means I'm early enough to be considered a member of the notification squad.

Great to see that Scott is aware of Politifacts' bias.

VR is not dead, I'm loving robo recall and superhot forever, I feel its a shame its not taken off as big as they hoped, but I think if they can get the price down, it will become more popular.

[@Trophonix]

The thing about being associated with hateful things is that the percentage of people who look at an ad and straight up think "oh my gosh coke specifically is aligning themselves with this nazi here" is inconsequentially small. Almost everyone on KZbin is either too young to see the content let alone care about what ads are on them or they know at least to some extent how the system works and know it was put there automatically.

Scott's second joke about the cannon to the sun made me suspect that AMD might actually have such a device.

i have over 40k views on my channel and at no point have i ever thought i could make this a job. i think 10k a month would be closer to the "i might make a living" threshold

[@arkaney1853]

I really enjoyed that talk about upcoming consumer electronics.

[@tipoomaster]

17:00, can't agree with Linus that the PS3 was ahead of PCs at launch considering the 8800 was out around the same time (same month iirc?), and was way ahead,and pretty well stayed as relevant as long as those consoles. By virtue of launching a year earlier the 360 was interesting though, being a unified shader part a year before anything on PC. And lets avoid the 2006 wars again and suffice to say the Cell was a mixed bag, loads of SIMD power that even rivals the Jaguar cores today, but SIMD isnt' what a game spends all day doing.

[@MrMartinSchou]

nVidia screwed up with the naming of the Titan series. They should have named them after the Titans of Greek mythology. Start with Coeus for Maxwell, Crius for the first Pascal version and then Cronus for the newly released one. No more confusion other than pronunciation.

[@cacheman]

23:00 It's been my contention all along (even before release) that from Valve's PoV SteamOS exists simply as insurance so that they're not at risk of getting destroyed over night by something MS does to Windows. That's it. It doesn't need to make money. It doesn't need market share. It's insurance from total destruction at the hands of a convicted monopolist. An escape pod. The actors who jumped in on Steam Machines presumably did so on their own volition (for who knows what reason), or were supported by Valve for their own reasons. Think about it this way; How much would you be willing to pay to insure LMG against a real, albeit very unlikely company-destruction event? You probably have SOME sketch of a plan for if KZbin suddenly becomes a non-option for you, one would hope? Valve is a very wealthy company. They probably have like 3-5 people working on SteamOS. That's very cheap insurance that could keep the company ALIVE long enough to respond to sudden changes to Steam's viability on Windows, be they product or legal. Now do you see how SteamOS makes sense?

[@EastyUK]

I think KZbin need to realize there are still channels that don't give a crap about making money. It's about the fun of making videos and the community. That's actually how KZbin started. Let's see different mechanics for "for profit" channels than "for interest" channels.

[@aussieguy1012]

more like companies are realizing people are not buying through ads on youtube and this is a way to pull funds.

[@MegamanXGold]

If you're here for Vega news, you'll be disappointed.

[@AntiFreak321]

I can imagine Apple silently supporting the Hackintosh Community since they stil buy Software from the Mac store thingy. So maybe they thought "Well we cannot make them buy an Apple Pc, But we can make it easyer for them to buy Software from our store". That is a strong possibility.

[@diogoalmeidavisuals]

You just know he got pinned against a wall until he told Linus something about VEGA right after this stream.

[@richardlambert3238]

Thanks for the sermonettes!

[@MariuszGruszkajamaniek]

Going back to that thing that Linus said "You don't even have to go to Wikipedia anymore to get an answer". I think a great solution to that (page views numbers) is that when Google pulls an answer from a certain page, it also actually goes to that page, cranking up the view count. Even artificially. I think it might make up even a little bit for users not actually going into written content creators pages.

[@gregreynolds6728]

Linus, how did you miss this. Apple invited several tech journalists to there campus this week to tell them that they are redesigning the Mac pro and get there thoughts. It will come out next year. The story was on The Apple Byte.

[@Mega_Arrow]

"Controversial" and "Hateful" content are not clearly defined or they're not applied consistently. If the rules and guidelines were clear or fair, then CNN/MSNBC/any major "news" outlets would have their ads pulled from their videos for addressing the same information as smaller independent content creators.

[@DeeJtemps]

great guest and show linus.

[@Bradum]

One of my biggest regrets is buying a 65" 4K TV (pre-OLED/HDR).... And even now, all I'd care about is OLED and HDR, not 4K... And this is coming from someone who would rather buy Blu-Ray discs than stream because of the difference in quality... I went out and bought a UHD Blu-Ray player, and then returned it because you might as well just stick with regular Blu-Rays... There's just no difference at regular living room distance....

[@DanielLecoqRooster]

Scorpio is being talked about as a 4K 60fps console. Microsoft need to lower expectations if they don't want a huge backlash.

[@RabbilAzam]

The new KZbin ad policy doesn't bother me because I don't put ads on my videos anyway. I understand why some people are upset, but I agree with Linus.

[@Ark7760]

The issue is that a lot of these channels are in no way hateful and this is largely the fault of misinterpretation.

[@SujayAgrawalgetin]

love this .. plz linus .. these manufacturer wan show visit must go on .. amazing to get their point of reference ..:)

[@ambersmith5457]

When people are clicking on "preachy" or "rant" videos that sound too extreme, they don't see it extreme when it's preaching to the choir. Most people would agree that the viewer does know the difference between an ad and video content, but big businesses have the right to pull their advertising content for any reason. Obviously, they disagree with that since actions speak louder than words. But when "extreme" videos get that much ratings, the one to blame is the viewer. Thumb it down, don't subscribe, and click "uninterested" when you see their thumbnail video and tell them why. Most people would agree that every outlet is one sided and I don't blame the media because the viewer is the one feeding them ratings in the end. Maybe big businesses have or are considering pulling ads there too. It would seem consistent if they did.

[@darkoleskovsek2558]

7:00 I just love the assertion "it's not good marketing" but eveyone has their own idea what that hateful content actually is

[@travisdirk]

congrats on the 4mil guys! stay sassy!

That sympathy you get from everyone else when they realize that you were part of the generation who voted this year for the first time.

[@danieldimitri6133]

UHD shines when you don't have a native resolution on the input. 1080p looks great in most rooms but not when you are trying to render 4pixels with 9 (or vise versa for people who have 720 TV's) the grids don't line up very well. 720p looks better on a 720 screen than it does on a 1080 screen. so short of having multiple televisions that you swap based on content it makes more sense to have a display where the resolution scales​ into it or just a vast surplus of pixels so the processing is at least impossible to notice. you don't buy 4k or UHD for the 4k or UHD content. you buy it so all of your content is displayed without compromise in clarity/sharpness it may not help with contrast ratio or dynamic range on its own, but it is useful. I'll give you that 8k is a bit of a gimmick, if the resolution doesn't scale well into UHD it's possibly low enough that you won't notice any improvements that could be made. but I could imagine that 8k would display some slightly off resolutions better, like 1280*768 wouldn't be that great on a UHD , and 720 and 1080 might not be quite perfect on a 4k. 4k or UHD are perfectly reasonable things to buy today even if you never buy a 4k Blu-ray. and if you're the kind of person who can buy an 8k to show to your friends I'm not going to shame you for buying it. I'm not investing that kind of money to sit in my living room but if you have the money them why not?

[@Candlesjack]

The thing is that the channels they are pulling ads from are not necessarily "hateful". Many of them are trying to discuss legitimate topics and are getting branded as "bad".

[@HMHacki]

i absolutely get that youtube reacts that way, and i fully understand and support the decision of advertisers to pull ads when their money ends up in some pocket they 1. do not want to support 2. do not want to be associated with and 3. cant even directly react to...
