They sent me a warning email about my latest DJ mix upload saying that while I'm not getting a copy strike on my channel, if I were to ever monetize the channel I may be impacted, whatever that means. And because of one Tiesto x Hedex track in the mix, viewers from Russia and Belarus are blocked.
Like I said if I do monetize I will probably take the mixes down and going forward make "copyright friendly" mixes using stuff that isn't a commercial release, like my own tracks, dubplates, and bootlegs or freebies that don't have recognizable music samples in them. They got me on a Baiana bootleg that is looped, sped up and playing on top of a Amiga jungle track. I do tons of doubles and triples and their AI still picks up on it.
Meanwhile Soundcloud and hypeddit don't give a shit about these things, its infuriating because most people on Soundcloud are other producers, not your average listener.
@DrRyanSkelton Honestly even if you ignore going to the extreme to say "I want my politics," the anon has it right. He's not a mitwit, he's voicing an opinion that seems too complex for some to grasp, in that politics (general) and politics (contemporary, usually about the USA) are wildly different things. A story about revolution over a corrupt emperor who mistreats the populous is insanely different from a story about a homosexual finding his place in a sub-urban area. Yet for the straw man to work, they must have the same level of existence and writing in the argument. Defeating an evil businessman who engaged in crimes beyond comprehension that killed many innocent is clearly on the same level of the vapid, hardly thought out "communism good" fantasy. Now this argument works perfectly! :flan_tired: Hate it.
