Dead Horse Interchange

The judge outright mentioned two DHI talking points btw:

-YouTube has a ''contract'' (probably their ToS) that allows them to change/control the terms of monetization aka you are not entitled to x rate of pay for every y shitpost video. To look at it another way, you cannot force advertisers to give you money

-YouTube is hosting your videos AT THEIR COST, and one of the conditions of that is having some amount of usership rights over the videos you upload. Not saying they own them outright, but I don't remember the exact words the judge used

So the judge mentioned stuff we've talked about, which was funny. ZGB's shitty butthurt suit was full of assumptions in the first place, like assuming an unwritten contract law thing for commiefornia was strong enough to outright contradict explicit stated terms of YouTube ToS, or assuming that they had some entitlement to a minimum income when they never went through a hiring process.

What made that cuck even think he had a contract with YT in the first place? The only contractual actions between YT and them was when they agreed with YT's TOS by using the website.
Good to see that not only did he lose, he, and by proxy hundreds of other deadbeat YT faggots, got told to "The fuck outta here with that gay shit!", putting a leaden coffin on their Chernobyl level autism hissy fit.

I hope it sets a precedent and youtube is encouraged by this ruling. 8^)

Time to start the mass demonetization of all these let's player fags.

That's what I was hoping as well, this is a big deal for google because they know they are in the right now, and will continue demonetizing smaller channels that don't do anything other than take money.

They've always known it. You don't think they don't have a massive legal department, do you?

This is what gets me the most about these guys. They feel so entitled and like having the high ground - without anything to back it up. YT has no reason at all to give a single shit about their income or living standards. I bet the vast majority of them has never even interacted with any sort of "YT employer".

didn't this "I'm gonna do lets play and video games for a living" die off pretty much after 2010?

Unless your really big and have the fans. no one is gonna make it long in this day.

Let's Plays are mostly dead, yeah. Unless you're really big you won't be able to make a living from that stuff. There are still too many around that can.

Streaming is the new lets plays, and thats why twitch turned into the massive cess pool that it is now and are "actively" trying to fix it.

The reason for Twitch being a pile of shit is titty streamers. Never allow cunts in your hobby.
