Hey, Louis, No Text to Speech dropped a video about how to PROPERLY opt out and the deadline is 5/15/24. I think their legal dept is probably overwhelmed. I would say if you sub nitro (I do because I run a server) unsubscribe and tell them this is why. They care about money and only money.
There is an agree button on the screen that I click to opt in. The fact that there is not another button to opt out is all I need to know.
Now that i think of it.
Why is it allowed to ONLY have an agree button
But on the other hand to opt out you have to fill a fcking form.
@@baneshitsuren just say rapist. when they have a rapist mentality, they are rapists.
@@Splarkszter And I have to physically mail a letter to Epic Games Legal to opt-out of the Unreal Engine Arbitration Clause
YOu agree to the terms that include the opt-out submit the opt out and you are not subject to arbitration. That is the just of what is going on here. Discord won't reply; you have to keep the letter/email in case you have to take action.
I had a linus flashback after reading the title 😅

Came here to say this lol
Modern corporate slogan: "Consent isnt profitable"
Very communistic of them. "If people had a choice, they would choose something else. So lets take that choice away."
Im scared at how accurate this statement is when compared to the law of the jungle. It translates to "If you dont ask someone if you can eat them, then you dont need to give and take. You just take." Aka, in the jungle if you cant defend yourself you get eaten. Thats whats happening now. Its not a deal. Its being consumed.
Yea I mean Louis is right. His term is right.
Yup
Government: Consent? LOL. Pay us or become prison labour!
Also government:
"Let's create a completely fictional legal entity called a "corporation", and let people use it as a business, but it has special rules, so the participants don't have to take responsibility or worry about personal liability, and we'll make it a psychopath by design trough "corporate law", that dictates that they HAVE TO make more and more profits every year for the shareholder owners, with no regard to the people actually physically involved in the business."
Game Theorist: "Actually, consent and sharing ideas is the most profitable option and successful strategy there is.
They aren't doing sexual stuff, they aren't rapists. They're "just" predators.
As if that's much better...
It’s important to convey that irresponsible business behavior does permanent harm to people. Forbes, CNBC and other media don’t communicate that clearly.

Chocolate Rain?! Wow, strange seeing you here in this type of video's comments.

Why the F is my car keeping data about me anyway? These guys are absolute R.
They're also reading your texts if you connect your phone to them.
I've got a 2006 A3 Audi, the most advanced part is the sirius sat radio, I will maintain this car till it literally dies due to its still in that range of analog that it functions like a vehicle not a spy tool. Now if that data were to be used to improve the car, fine, I understand, that helps every single user of the vehicle but who it wouldn't help are third party companies because the data would be a protected secret that one company doesn't want in another's hands. This is going to get to a boiling point where we as Americans are going to fight back and the government are going to just shrug at it and move on.
@@zealstarwindActually not true, any car beyond 95' is computerized in someway, shape, or form.
@@zealstarwindgo up to 2015 you’ll be chillin with vw
@@GHOSTSTARSCREAM Computerized does not mean collects and stores data or that the computer is capable of controlling the car's controls and being taken over by a hacker. The ECU in a 95 Chevy is about the dumbest computer imaginable. Your name, phone number, address, etc. are nowhere to be found in it. Nor can it in any way control the steering of the vehicle. Some models might have some limited control over throttle and braking depending on year, model and features. But even then you can't take control of it remotely because it has no way of connecting to any network.
I always thought "rapist" is a harsh word to use in your videos, but now I understand why, as a non-american I would never had found this out if you didn't explain it, so thanks for sharing!
Also, we whitelist your channel in sponsor block, I would never skip Mr. Clinton
Some CZcams creators use the word grape to avoid getting censored.
I think that's Blackberry the kitten 😊
It's not harsh, it's an adequate expression of the observable reality.
@@rp7r54therapists do grape, apparently!
(Now, if only we could get people to take regular old IRL grapes seriously, that would be nice, too. But that’s my only gripe with the word “grape”.)
As for ads… I just have CZcams Premium, because how else am I going to watch those dreadful paywalled Logan Paul movies from like five years ago?!?
(I also have Twitch Turbo. I do not have cable, though. I am the same age as Louis, and I have never had a cable subscription in my life.)
That commercial is CRAZY. Especially considering the fact that big corporations have absolutely had instances where employees that were not supposed to have access to certain user data did get access and used that info maliciously. In fact, I would trust any random self employed or small shop mechanic to know my location data over any corporation having access to the same information any day.
A corp leaves it open to more malicious people if anything, even if they don't leave the keys to the data out for their employees.
@@Ottobon I'd figure that a lot of data-leak "hacks" are due to leaving the keys to temp-agency hires. A lot of the data management roles are left to the lowest paid workers btw. (Customer service reps, data entry, etc.) It's surprising how little security there is on the inside, when they talk big about things like firewalls and IT monitoring.
oh THAT R word...
Yeah, call it for what it is, a penetration to our autonomy, privacy, finances, etc. It is truly the *other R word*
oh man, i read that first one as anatomy.

He should keep using it.
It's the garbage folk that are always so righteous and fake, people need to be wary of.
(edit: we're on the same side, totally agree with the vid. I'm just feeling like rebutting. it probably sounds more argumentative than I intend. it's just friday and I've had a couple brews. really I'm just being a video publishing nerd, tho)
he said it in the video tho. he is calling it for what it is.
but in defense of the title:
saying the whole word in a title (or before N seconds into the video) angers the monetization overlords and the algorithm's spread of your content.
partially censoring it in the title serves to entice people to click due to the ambiguity piquing their curiosity.
it also serves as a CW for people who have had the actual thing happen to them IRL so they can avoid feeling emotionally ambushed by the universe when a mention of it comes seemingly out of the blue. they can grit their teeth before playing, or nope out.
It's very concerning that it only costed 3000 dollars for a politician to vote against you
You can buy a congressmen for 50-100k.
You're far overvaluing their integrity, it takes a $100 meal to change their mind and have them vote your way, it only gets to 4-6 figures when your having to out bid your competition
3k was just the amount they had to give to provide pretextual cover for why they were meeting. Of course the rest of the bribe wasn't in such obvious direct cash.
@@petesmith13 You mean a $100 tax write-off
Only 3000?
I saw a video where the lowest was 4000.
They're getting cheaper and cheaper.
Now imagine the CZcamsrs who refuse way higher sums of sponsoring money because the product is shady and see how fucked up things are.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE INFINITELY MORE HONEST MAKING CZcams VIDEOS THAN PEOPLE RULING US!!!!!!
As someone who lived in MA at the time, that commercial made me livid.
What's wild is these companies spent $25 million to stop this in a SINGLE. STATE.
If that market alone was worth $25M to secure, how bad are they ACTUALLY fucking over their customers?
it's about trend momentum and precedent, not one state. once a critical mass of states adopt a law, the strong possibility of a national law becomes reality.
I'm just here wondering what would happen if people instead of wasting their time and energy on getting upset about this was this passionate about creating better alternatives as open source products tat embraced decentralized manufacturing.
I read MA as morocco lol
While it's not literally rape, the same moral and mental justification these companies use to defend their practices is the same justification literal rapists use to justify their behavior. You're on point, as usual, Louis. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to share and bring light to these issues. Have a pleasant weekend.
Nice words but you’re really stating the obvious in the fact and metaphor here.

Does that creep you out? I hope so. Now why can’t you deal with companies that treat you like that the same way you’d deal with people who treated you like that? The least you can do is to call their behaviour what it is.
Uhh I think it would go more like asking you and whatever you say they rail you like a train and just get away with it
@@madgaming6667 And at court they will say they didn't know it was not allowed. They didn't hear a no and will get away with it. The victim will get nothing and instead fired from their job because the predator told the boss to do so, just because they were sued.
That short dialog is going too gentle, no wonder we are not winning.
As an independent mechanic/welder- Thank you for all that you do. You say what not many will, but everyone needs to hear.
I can hardly blame the average person for not wanting to say something like this. If you're not eloquent enough, or you read the room wrong, or whatever it may be, people can be very harsh in their judgement against that. For anyone who wants to step up and take on that kind of hardship for something good, then I salute them.
That first commercial is SO DAMN unbelievably horrible. I mean, what in the hell were they thinking? Jesus.
No better mongering than fear mongering

The worst part about it is that most people are ok with it. The boundary didn't get pushed enough for them to revolt, the temperature of the pot only went up 1 degree.
People are OK with it, only because it's not illegal in NA.
Because it became so overwhelming and ubiquitous that most took the easy route and stopped worrying about it for the sake of peace of mind. And a new generation matured who never knew life without constant surveillance and they just don't give as much of a toss, mostly because it (in their mind) it deprives them of social validation. Privacy to them is being locked in a cell with no access to internet, no human contact, and none of the positives that come with it.
People are also ok with it, because if they were not ok with it, they would lose access to almost everything they own, almost all apps have a TOS that you have to agree with, every service, almost all products that connect to the internet in any way, so unless they don't want to see any TV series/films, play any games, etc. You have to say you agree, people have been so accomodated to expect an agree/disagree button, and to ignore it and just click agree, that most of them probably didn't even notice that the disagree button wasn't there anymore, none of them would click disagree if that makes their 3k TV not work, they've already paid for it, and they're not gonna refound it, so it's either agree, or you have a very ugly painting on the wall.
@@GHOSTSTARSCREAM You underestimate humanity. Worldwide, people are resilient to negative changes, because psychologically, the tradeoff is worth the gains. It is an evolutionary trait we gained, and it was essential to our survival. It is VERY well studied.
Sadly, as you may notice, we really are not much better than animals. Our instincts are our own demise, and it would require unbearable amounts of educational effort to rewire the mind of 8 billion people.
Edit: this psychological phenomenon is why wars and violent revolutions happen; we as humans are wired to wait until it gets too bad for easy reforms.
@@sulphurous2656 As someone born in Gen Z this is really what it's all about. We are the loneliest generation by far and without apps like Snapchat and Instagram these people wouldn't know what to do with themselves. The mega corporations made what everyone uses as communication, for travel, for life, with no viable alternative. Which is also why over 85% of people aged 18-24 own an iPhone in the U.S. - people would rather not be alone than be spied on or have the freedom to do whatever they please with something they own. "You will own nothing and be happy"
It's funny how they say the quiet part out loud and almost no one mentions it. Ok, an independent mechanic MAYBE might snoop through my data. But why is the car collecting my data in the first place? With the car I have, the only thing they'll know is that my O2 sensors are bad.
Exactly. And an unscrupulous mechanic can remotely take control of my vehicle? Why would I want the manufacturer or dealership to be able to that?
That's why I keep saying I'm not getting a car newer than 2013-2014 (about that time they started to be always connected) until it somehow becomes impossible for me to own/maintain such an old vehicle. I'd rather sink unreasonable amounts of $ (compared to resale value) into my 2012 car, than get one that keeps sending data to the manufacturer, or one that might leave me stranded because a failed software update bricked it, or where all functions are crammed into the touchscreen instead of physical buttons. And except for matrix LED headlights, which are nice to have, there is no tech in a 2024 car that I don't have and wish I did - adaptive cruise, lane keeping, 360 cameras, wireless carplay, blind spot/reversing into traffic warning, auto dipping high beams for oncoming traffic, curve lights, heated/cooled seats... dunno what else I could want.
Came for the rant, stayed till the end for the cat. What a sweet loving kitty. 🥰
Keep using it. It's a nasty word used to describe a nasty thing, it fits
They're rapists yeah, I've gotten into arguments about this and my question is. What makes rape wrong? Is it the violence? No if it were it'd be treated as assault. Is it the sexual nature? No sex is legal. IT'S THE FUCKING CONSENT.
Techbro: If they can't say no it isn't rape.
As Rapeman once famously said,
"Tell me you don't want this. No, really, or else it isn't rape."

We need to play hardball. Any company that requires forced arbitration will be required to pay their taxes with zero deductions. Also, settlements are not tax deductible in any way. Also buying back stock should be taxed at 100%. There are many others.
Arrowhead and Sony are doing a bait and switch with people who bought the game Helldivers 2 and now require a PSN sign in to play despite not being needed for the past two months.
Use the other R word on that one.... Refund.
Rip to all the people that bought the game on steam and don't live in the 69 countries where a PSN account can be created.
Who would even want their personal information in the databases of this hack-ridden company anyway.
@@randomaccount53793 and it turns out PC gamers are bound by the TOS of Sony when they tie their STEAM game with a PSN account and their code of conduct is so strict that you can't even have friendly banter. Arrowhead's CEO basically said this is for "muh security" purposes.
Ah yes, the third hard R. In all seriousness, i think it applies here. It's a violation of your personhood in the sane manner as R*pe. Not near the immediate pain and risk to your life, but a violation none the less
He gave an excellent explanation.
Its not near as much of a violation as the such. Not in the slightest. If you believe so, youve never seen it happen. But, theyres no reason he should be disbarred from using it, it is describing pretty much exactly what these companies are doing, they just dont commit the most attrocious act of humanity.
Yet,
regarded would also be quite accurate, but this one works too.
It'll sure be an immediate risk of your life if someone with more menacing intentions ever gets their hands on a digital profile or dossier with your name on it. No one is truly safe anymore.

Beautiful message at 12:34 - user consent is key
The R word is extremely apropos. They are outright strongarming people when they aren’t coercing. Kudos to you for calling them out Louis. ❤
I don’t get why some folks are up and arms about your usage of the word, corpos/companies don’t need a defense force against mean words that describe them the way that they should be described. Keep doing you, my guy, and thank you for always keeping us informed.
Some people are f'n r-worded.
The people who are angry that Louis uses the r*pe word. Is probably because they're one themselves. But, that's just a guess.
People are soft. There's a lot of words people don't like.
I agree it's an accurate description but at the same time I like how y'all just accepted the premise that everyone upset about it must be so because of defending corpos when that's like, maybe techbros and that's it, if you go outside you'll see there are people other than techbros too! Like, I dunno, SA victims and people empathetic of them, who understandably feel emotions when the word comes up! But nah I guess that's just being soft right
no one is mad the word is being used against a corporation, the more likely reason is that they think it minimizes actual cases of R, but with the context Louis gave it makes total sense to use that word
Helldivers just did exactly that with Sony now imposing that all Steam players MUST link their PSN account, else have their Steam accounts purged.
I’m uninstalling
Do they still have their ass-level anti-cheat? I never installed Helldivers 2 because of how bad and invasive it is.
@@jayl5032 yeah they do.
Kicker is since Sony operates in fewer countries than Steam. Some people who bought the game are now not able to play. I haven't even heard the reason why either. Although if it's piracy that'd be hilariously ironic.

Interestingly enough, if the car driver had access to this speed data they would be able to counter bullshit speeding tickets.

I’m seriously so happy I found this channel… really gives me hope and is encouraging that someone with a platform is actually using it to bring light to important things
They're selling your location data to any company that will pay for it, anywhere in the world. An adversary could "attack" a category of people based on any criteria they choose. The word "attack" could mean anything, all bad, but relatively cheap if they can be so specific.
Exactly; we're going BACKWARDS.
We should form a system that pays users for their data, if a company uses our data without permission we can and should sue them.
There needs to be a massive class-action lawsuit against all of the companies knowingly purchasing/collecting/misusing customer data without consent. They are wittingly causing you potential financial and/or physical harm by disclosing YOUR personal information. Ma$$$$$ive fines are the only way they will STOP!
I agree but most businesses have actually put that into a lot of EULA saying you wave the right. Its scummy but it needs to be heavily regulated.
Just bought 2 dead MacBooks (a2442 and a2861) in the same day and hope to repair them because of people like you. This term is great and I’ve even got a few laughs while trying my best to explain this whole concept to them lol.
It's the correct and most accurate term. Please keep using it, Louis. Thank you.
That cat-tharsis at the end was so great. You can tell Louis really speaks cat (so to speak).
I use Sponsorblock but have it turned so that it marks sections and brings up a prompt to skip for almost everything. The only segment I skip automatically is paid sponsors, so stuff like the stupidly long plugs some people make (cough daily wire cough) I never have to bother with. I never realized it was skipping kitty content cause it never did for me.
Sponsorblock uses user-submitted time stamps, so it's not really directly their fault.

Much success.

Another similarity to rappists (some) is that when confronted they'll say the victim asked for it or liked it or was OK with it
When I read this I thought you ment the other R word. Coincidentally, it also applies.

What really blows my mind is that if you use either of the words in the title - instant demonetization (only if you are an independent journalist). CNN , NBC , FOX and other -Authoritative Sources™- rags can use them freely without any ill effects.

Dark viper got into a lot of trouble for using the same analogy to describe reaction content. It was a huge distraction though because his basic overall premise was right on
Plot twist the people who are stalking you are advertisers, law enforcement, and everybody else buying data off data brokers.
I like that terminology very much. Some people simply struggle with the concept of "no means NO!"
as a tech student with anxiety problem; all I can say is, it's depend to the person. ik that data is valuable, but fr, some will be like "WHAT TF are we gonna use ur data for? u're not that important for me." and some can be decisive by selling ur data, like these big companies do.
and FR, the more we came to this way, I felt like the more that I rlly want to begone from social medias.
Times like this make me very happy that terms of service aren't legally binding in most countries.
Manufacturers also claim that 3rd party repair of phones and other devices will lead to independent repairers stealing your explicit photos. But they say this while when their own contractors whom they employ for their 1st party repair have been caught doing exactly that.
It's bold to ask someone to reciprocate what they never received.
And it's not the kind of bold that's admirable.
Good on you for not having any regrets. Their dishonesty is abhorrent.

Do we even have "freedom" nowadays?
I support your descriptive label
If a company wants to change a policy that you MUST agree to to continue to use a product you already bought then they MUST offer a full refund plus an inconvenience fee if you hit disagree. There should also be an evaluation of the amount of detriment caused to the user if they do agree to the revised terms and a refund of a that amount should be sent to every user that agreed. There's no reason I should have to sign a revised EULA every month for my phone that I bought 3 years ago.
Love you, Louis. You're the only content creator avidly watch that I truly admire.

REPAIR its REPAIR
Louis, I have been watching your videos for an eternity! Over 10 years for sure. I don’t always agree with every single thing you say, but I easily agree with 98% of it. I admire your knack for calling out BS. Your words are nearly always right to the point and you truly have a gift! You are amazing and I hope you continue to post on CZcams for many, many years to come! Thanks for all that you do. Every video is a learning experience for me!! 😎
*Gaslighting 101:* Accuse the other person of what _you_ are doing.
Oh, **that** R word. And the customers who blindly let the companies do this are the O.G. R word.
I wouldn't be so harsh on the clients - they might be simply unaware of what's on the page 37th of the EULA - good luck reading all that crap every single time.
@@Cymes it also is litterally impossible to not use shit made by crappy companies like this
I'm autistic, I give the R word pass to anyone reading.
A gentleman and a scholar.
That's not the R word Louis is talking about.
you don't have the pass though?
i second this because i'm not retarded (autistic myself)
Hard R Cafe :)
Louis can use any word he wants to get his point across
The poor cat has to deal with louis rage everyday damn
I'm all for it, and truthfully I have began using it myself bc it is so apropos and describes their practices to a T.
We need these "hard words" to shock ppl out of complacency so they can wake TF and see what's actually going on.
If the ppl are so fucking fragile that a WORD upsets them oh well, they can go cry about it in their little safe space.
Best cat content account on yt
I remember that horrific commercial! Holy hell!
The moment with the cat...so cute. Love my kitty and doggy, too.
Long live Mr. Clinton's freedom of speech!
Uh-oh. Nebraska Steve has corrupted the New York Louis.
I have not visited this site for a long time but learned a lot from LR when he showed actual board repairs and allowed us to follow his progress in the right to repair litigation with Dr Jones and others.
Recent videos show LR as a somewhat embittered man on the lookout for tricks used by corporate lawyers to allow or justify all manner of restrictions and intrusions.
Here in Europe, in Australasia, India, the Pacific Rim and 'Big Bad Russia' we do not have as many problems as seem to plague the USA. I often think back to my studies of American history and sometimes look at the grandiose paintings of the late 18th and 19th century. They depict serious looking 'men of the Enlightenment' discussing matters of fair and free living with a view to creating a civilization free from colonialist powers and the 1776 Declaration then original Constitution of the USA makes much of respect for free will, different beliefs, a thing called 'democracy' and the rule of law.
The trouble is that these documents were usually written by lawyers and the words were dictated by those wealthy enough to have campaigned for votes. That most of these (including George Washington) came from slave owning families, businesses related to slave or low paid labor and others drew upon revenue from estates and farms in England or island colonies (e.g. Hamilton). Franklin had a fine scientific mind and spent more time in France than the USA but learned little from French attempts to rule only by laws and codes able to be twisted in a dangerous way.
The Founding Fathers did not have worry too much about what are now called 'first nation' people because laws persecuted, corralled then eventually exterminated them over a century with absolute confidence that God was on the side of the (white) believers and not heathens.
Tribes and cultures were wiped out by legal papers they did not understand and had no hand in framing,
The facade of "that which is legally agreed by the people" is abused by the hour and because power in the USA is determined by who has the most money in land, real estate , companies and now corporates if extreme wealth LR seems to be surprised that laws and lawyers paid to bend and interpret them pervade all aspects of people's lives probably more than than anywhere else on the planet.
Absurd laws tend to bite the dust elsewhere and cases are brought in the 'catch all' Intellectual property sector where activities actually cross into areas such as fraud, theft, conspiracy to deceive for profit etc etc etc.
Obviously, swimming in the pirhana waters of Big Tech will have risks anywhere but the USA also has the permanent disease of litigation fever and thousands of semi-intelligent persons train to join the biggest organized shoals of the little fishes every year.
Emigration is perhaps a good idea.
I simply love the ambiguity surrounding the concept of the "r word"
I’m on your side.
If you ever need Website work.
I’m willing to help your causes at no charge.
In case CZcams shadow-banned my previous message, Discord's forced arb can be avoided! Check out No Text To Speech's video about it. You have until May 15th!
Louis, fantastic as always.
Please remind people that these contracts of adhesion - such as Roku's, which are form agreements presented as take it or leave it - can sometimes be declared unenforceable by the courts.
A court can invalidate contracts, especially contracts where the drafting party had significant power over the other party, due to the unconscionability of the terms. Of course it should never reach that stage but I doubt Roku's contract would be enforceable were someone to fight them in court over it.
In honour of your integrity Luis, thankyou for everything. You deserve every good thing thats ever happend to you bro.
