Fast-forward to now, since then, another bureaucrat took place of the YouTube CEO, lots of things have changed all across the board. Dang, even I changed. And how much I've changed since then! Truly unbelievable. Nonetheless, YouTube hasn't ever become helpful and that legend of improved support was simply a hoax, or an improvised glimmer of hope from smaller creators to keep the grind going.

The lack of change or will to improve from YouTube in such an important regard - the safety of creators - backfires today. Countless posts from angry YouTubers all across Twitter (practically, the last bridgehead for creators to contact an actual human worker that would try and solve your issue), heaps of misunderstanding and general fearful feeling of vagueness and volatility. As a creator, you've never felt safe from a false positive, but the system has definitely degraded even further and rotted all the way through.

Many creators have already vented about it, I will definitely not help by babbling about this topic all over again.

Today's episode has again proven to me that I do not matter as a creator to YouTube, and alongside with that stunning observation, another one, maybe a less commonly noted one has appeared - it feels like the community no longer cares. The dirty business of copyright ID trolls, the false copyright strike abuse in spite and YouTube's abhorrent automated video flag system is just way too commonplace now. These awesome features YouTube comes with are infact so common, the creators simply stopped caring about such unfair situations happening all around with their colleagues.

Maybe I am special in that regard and not a whole lot cares about my channel's fate - what I know for sure is that I'm not that welcome in the tech community, I feel as sort of a black sheep in it, but I've seen that happen to others. The desperate posts asking for help have become routine.

As a content creator you no longer have motivation to upload new content, as all you do is fighting for what you already have.

Is that really how YouTube is "rooting for us"? Or, perhaps, the CEO change yielded the change of policy, a so-called 180° turn against the creators?

That and more we will find out in the foreseeable future. YouTube absolutely has to change their way of handling creator safety to survive. No business is ever too big to fail.

I appreciate the award, and cherish the memories and fun I've had over the past 7 years (god damn, 7 whole years!) while doing YouTube as my main hobby. I'm not writing this post as sort of damage control (albeit it does help a lot!), nor do I blame anyone except YouTube for the situation I've been thrown into. You guys did an excellent job forcing the tweet, as even @TeamYouTube had to answer, that is considering I didn't mention them. The point being, our final bridgehead to any sort of human support from YouTube is being slowly but surely eliminated.

YouTube Chat was also proven extremely unhelpful and frustrating to deal with over the years.

Susan, can you really not wait to see what I'm going to do next? Because the length of that anticipation is although finite for now, is largely dependent on my motivation and mood. And those undeserved hardly removable strikes sensibly tweak these already by definition random variables.

Hopefully I didn't get on your nerves with that whole scientific-thesis-sized rant. It's just I've never spoken about these constant YouTube issues publicly, and I'm a human with feelings and emotions, just like you, even though I try my best to compress them and never show them to the general public.

3/3

🤏 Tiny success

The false DMCA claim was released. Without the help of YouTube. YouTube was not only unhelpful, it threatened action against me for "improperly" filing a DMCA counter-notice.

If only I could have an actual human reviewer for my Community Guidelines strikes. The channel's safety still remains in a dangerously volatile state, so it isn't yet time to celebrate.

Justice will prevail. Spread the word.

🔑 Windows XP Phone Activation Keygen

The source code for a tool to activate Windows XP without a need of a phone call is finally out. I talked about it a while ago in one of my GitHub issues. The algorithm also employs Elliptic Curve Cryptography, but in this case it uses a hyperelliptic curve of genus 2.

Massive props to diamondggg for the source code, Neo-Desktop and CONIGUERO for bringing the necessary discussion up.

😌 Long-lost videos found

I mentioned in my recent documentary that some of my older videos have been irreversibly lost to history.

Well, I'm happy to announce I am wrong. I can't believe someone has my videos from 6 years ago saved.

2 out of 3 mentioned videos have been restored, namely:
PolyRansom Ransomware
WannaCrypt0r Ransomware

These videos were found and restored by Anto and TheTechRobo respectively.

I am really happy to watch them again. A sincere thank you to anyone who finds and restores my old videos!

Another one I'd really love you guys to find would be a video called "38zu.cn? ВИРУС?! Не может быть!".
