Misinformation

I detest ads on Youtube so if the new change means everyone except very popular vids disable monetization then as a viewer it is actually for the better? (& maybe can then stop paying for YT Red)
"Worse, YouTube will continue to place ads against their content – they just won’t get a sliver of it."
I can't imagine why anyone who would leave monetization on in this scenario - why would you make your viewers suffer through ads for zero gain?

In response, Atkins wrote: "I do not have the power to stop him. It is because he is clinically depressed that he says and does out-there things. He was nothing like this before he became ill.
"He shoots from the hip with no thought of the consequences for himself for others or indeed his family. The very fact that he says hurtful things that show a total lack of empathy is the evidence that he is seriously ill.
"He watches me cry my eyes out again and again and it moves him not one iota. You want me to be upset that he has hurt others? I am too busy dealing with his lack of empathy towards me."

"why not ask Dotcom directly if he or his minions were ever approached by the US government with regard to installing backdoors on his servers?"
indeed, look what happened to the guy who started Lavabit when he wouldn't cooperate:

Talking Heads at Sweetwaters South in 1984
Thankfully before the internet, so had no idea what they would be doing until David Byrne walked out on stage on his own, wearing an oversized suit & carrying a ghetto blaster...
