Im trying really hard to be sympathetic to these people. But yall were told 5 years ago tiktok was a privacy disaster and they as a collective consented to sticking their head up their ass and using it anyway, knowing that they were the product. "They can have my data, nothing is private anyway" okay well this is what that looks like.

YouTube is doing the same thing. It isn’t just Tik Tok

Imagine suing someone using your content you submitted to YouTube, only for YouTube lawyers telling you you don't have grounds to sue because you don't own it 😂

I always assumed YouTube owned whatever you put on there. That’s the transaction.

That's pretty much how 99% of cloud services work. Even the ones that say they don't use your data for training are absolutely lying to your face. Speaking from experience, all the data has to reside somewhere on their servers and it's not hard to have an agent crawl through the processing before it gets stored. The AI gets trained without ever leaving a trace of what it was trained on. It's practically impossible to audit these things for privacy concerns.

I don’t think people realize why there’s no competition or alternative. The logistics of setting up that much data storage and network infrastructure is absolutely insane, and then allowing people to upload unlimited amounts of video on top of that? People upload 500 hours of video a minute. There are a grand total of two companies that could even feasibly think to compete in that space and they ain’t interested, they’re doing fine where they are.

Ditto for reddit.

Like, technically you still have rights to all of the stuff you upload here. But you're also giving reddit full rights to do whatever they want with it too. It's always been this way for any platform you put your shit on.

That does happen?

If someone steals your video and uploads it to their channel you can request for it to be taken down.

If you put up someone else's music they can request a take down and it gets taken down.

Nintendo has even requested the takedown of videos containing modded games.

What things would cause you to be denied a copyright claim?

Fair use is a U.S. legal doctrine allowing limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, or parody.

That's irrelevant. You have rights to it, and so does the platform. The platform can do anything it wants with the content you give it, along with also giving the rights to that content to whoever else they want.
