Yeah, what you describe on G+ sounds weird. I see some groups on Facebook and which ones have how many members and see what they are like. Its messy.
You make a poignant point on the emptiness, moderation and being official.
No, they never ever have. He never has and your right not to trust.
What is DMCA? As for the copyright thing its ridiculous. Theres this one guy I heard of, and if someone shows a clip of his videos for computer games and criticises something he does as being correct (rushing content out when something is new for money) he reports them to youtube for criticising him in the form of a copyright infringement to give the person a strike on their account to damage them. Complete facist.
Twitter is becoming a mess imho.
There is some GDPR stuff which is also silly that affects some work I do… Governments need to be shaken up with how they go about stuff.
The companies doing social media a certain way, as you describe, are clearly doing it in a bad fashion. As for the youtubers, I think some of might be innocence (why is it an issue) ego (none of their business!) or fear (I don’t want to lose what I have). Part of it probably stems from it starting as a hobby to becoming their job and still sort of being a hobby.
I hate ‘influencers’ as a term. Such a crock. Yeah, I get that with products, but like, to me it is clear and similar to say, celebrities appearing in commericals…
I’m not too tired of the Video Game Industry. Certain companies like Bethesda and EA (Nintendo and Square Enix are pretty golden in my eyes). Loot boxes are straight up gambling, especially when you consider the age on some of the games (not aimed at eight year olds with some) – how come nobody noticed that in court cases or brought it up?
South Park also broached on mobile gaming:
Ill check that out later, thanks 😉
