"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The only ways Google listens to your appeal (that I can think of) are: 1) a lawyer, or 2) having at least 100k subscribers on Youtube. Even then it's not guaranteed. It's a complete BS system and no one should do anything important with Google products. Especially not storing important files. Hopefully the artist or their assistant have the stuffed still saved elsewhere, but they need to learn from this.
Google is absolute garbage. (Also, Google Stadia has shut down, lol)
Not even then, leftwing News YT channels, even with way more than 100k subscribers, are reporting Shadowbans.
I wasn't talking about shadow bans but about access to your account(s). 100k subs is the threshold where you can hope for a human to read your appeals. This is baked into their system. 1 sub short of 100k? Sorry, you're out of luck and there is no way for you to even reach out to google. Even with 1 million subs they can still opt to not do anything about it but someone will at least read your message. It's insane they make it based on subscribers on their video platform anyway.
No, YT push in clear manner right wing influencer with way less subs, than other left wing channels, which all observe a strong declive of presence in YT suggestions (>30%) and new subs since several month.
You're talking about something else entirely, though.
