This Week in Sportsball has finally uploaded but with color bars to avoid LOLTUBE from taking it down again
And UrinatingTree posted a comment post explaning what LOLTUBE had did. for a long story short some DICK company called “Week 1 Station” exploited the AI CLANKER copyright system
So you’re probably wondering why this video is so late (as well as having a gigantic overlay on top of it, among other things). Well, you can thank the good ol’ copyright police for that one. Every time you upload a video to YouTube, it’s automatically checked for copyright violations based on everything in its system. Usually, these videos would be claimed by the NFL for ad revenue purposes (I.E. I don’t make anything on it, minus sponsor segments. The ad revenue goes to the NFL. Always saw it as a fee for using their content, as much of a bargain as that may seem). This time, the video wasn’t just claimed for ad revenue by the usual sources: It was flat out blocked from release globally. Every time I would upload this video, no matter what I tried to get it through (remove raw broadcast audio, slowly increase overlay on top of it over time, etc), it would be snagged up by something called “Week 1 Station”, which seems to be a stream that the NFL would do after games. For whatever reason, this never happened until now. Honestly, I’m more surprised it took this long. Figured this would’ve happened years ago.
I wanted to sincerely apologize for both the long delay of this video getting out and the subpar quality due to trying to get it released. I’ll have to figure out a different approach to doing week two. Might mean more still shots, will likely mean no game audio, probably more along those lines as well. Either way, we will still attempt to call both games… even if we die trying.
And for the record, “Week 1 Station” still dinged this video, but only for ad revenue. I’ll take it.
Once again, Congrats YouTube for becoming my LOLTUBE
