Last summer, completely by chance, I had a chat with a fella selling an Elcaset deck at a flea market and he mentioned that Grundig had their own cassette system back in the day, so I've been waiting for you to get around to covering that :D
Imagine that weird parallel universe were everybody used DC cassettes and Video2000, grandpa is arguing that his Tefifion is still superior and junior listens to music on his new Gmini 400.
Hey Matt. Thank you again for making the public discover another totally unknown format. And I also like your conclusion : closed licenced formats are made to die and the history is full of them. Compact Cassette free licenced with Sony : huge success. VHS Licenced by JVC to other makers : big success. CD shared between Philips and Sony : huge success. Closed formats like Betamax, V2000, DC International : failures.
Utter rubbish. VHS and Beta had exactly the same licensing model. Sanyo made Beta machines in vast numbers, the Sanyo VTC5000 was the number 1 selling video recorder in the UK at one point, outselling every VHS model, and was followed by the hugely successful VTC5150. Toshiba also built Beta machines, and there were badge engineered recorders from NEC, Aiwa and others. The same applied to Sony's Video8/Hi8 format which slaughtered the VHSC format in the camcorder market.
@@MrsZambezi I sort of understand what you are saying. Later Sony Beta machines in particular, did produce nicer pictures. But had a Sanyo VTC5150 and a JVC VHS portable back in 1984, and anyone could see the Sanyo Beta gave the better picture. Sanyo machines were possibly more inclined to show tape dropouts. However I find that if I have a really badly worn Beta tape, a Sanyo will sometimes give a better overall picture than a Sony. Picture quality varies between tapes and machines, as it does with VHS, where some tapes play better on a JVC, others better on a Panasonic.
Interestingly that Rolling Stones cassette is indeed their first album (self-titled "The Rolling Stones), but with additional two songs, that were released only as singles and not on the actual album.
I got confused with the Rolling Stones album. I thought the track listings were making a sentence: "I just wanna make love to you, honest I do, Mona, now I've got a witness"!
hello techmoan, long time sub, you have saved me from boredom a dozen times. youre my favorite youtuber , such a wonderful guy you. thanks for all the company over the years and looking forward to more
You have one of the best channels on all of TH-cam in my opinion. Google has a near monopoly and yet they hassle you about 11 seconds of music. Damned fools. Keep up the great work!
Time goes by so quickly I was born in late 70s growing up in 80s and 90s cassettes where best thing ever for yours play list those times where more magical!Nowadays can you even buy a CD???? It's nothing special today when you can get everything online, don't get me wrong it's super but at the same time all magic is gone 😢
You have perfectly right, man, these days we can have everything so easy, but the magic is gone, no charm at all. In the 90's, every casette tape i buy was preciuos to my collection!
I shop around for OLD CDs, ones from the 80s and early 90s, before they started boosting the volume levels to maximum and ruining the dynamic range on the re-releases. New music I just get from iTunes or from the download card that sometimes comes with a brand new vinyl record. I guess I’m one of the reasons Best Buy stopped stocking CDs in their stores.
All the major Supermarkets in the UK still sell CDs. However, they are getting cheaper and cheaper with "Best of" CDs from the likes of Dolly Parton for £3 (the price of an upmarket coffee) and 5CD 100 track compilations for about £6.
You can still buy CD's of course, but unless it's some fancy digibook edition, it doesn't really feel special anymore. That's why music lovers brought back vinyls from the dead, that's still something special to hold in a collection.
Its funny how this video switches finally to philosophy. How a small, concidered unimportant thing/format changed the things to come. Thank you very much for letting me think about that!
It's not just the amount of different formats Techmoan has reviewed, but the amount of different CASSETTE formats alone that's staggering. Man, tapes are cool.
I think the reason Grundig logo was crossed out and replaced with Telefunken is that they had a Grundig compact cassette player in another room or something. So it's a Grundig tape, but not for Grundig machine. My great-grandmother's vinyl and shellac records were all labeled by hand with respective gramophone/turntable brands (by my father, presumably), so she wouldn't mix them up.
@@DavidLee-df888 when I went back to watch the documentary of Concorde it actually had a nice little bit re the spelling 😉. I never thought about it until I watched the rest of it... Then read your comment 😎
Yes - It was not until the high bias tape was developed that the fidelity of cassettes was good enough for them to be marketed as music format recorders.
I think Grundig's decision was about tape speed. There must have been research that made 2 Inch/Sec the minimum required for the frequency response necessary for music, given the magnetic tape and head technology available at the time. Philips was initially not able to reach the fidelity and playback time necessary for music, inside the Compact Cassette. I suspect that if thinner tape technology had been available, Philips would have settled on a higher tape speed from the onset. Improvements in both the magnetic density on the tape itself as well as more effective heads lead to the Compact Cassette becoming suitable for music playback and recording, negating the necessity for higher tape speed.
Techmoan: it does take me a couple of minutes to explain so please bear with me Everyone watching: take as long as you like mate, we love it! Yet another fantastic video, and another lost format. Great stuff; man, this channel is the best.
Indeed... I'm hungry now. Hmm, but not many good places to get fish and chips where I live. I suppose I can try Captain Dee's? I haven't ate there in about a decade.
You have such a good speaking voice and presentation style. I don't care alot about the old formats, but your presentation has me watching the entire videos. Very well done.
The amount of obscure formats that came out just because some companies acted like spoiled childs not wanting to share or doing team work is absurd, but at least they help make awesome Techmoan videos. P.D: TH-cam Copyright is getting ridiculous.
This cross-licensing agreement between Sony and Philips paved the way for their later collaboration on another pivotal audio format - the Compact Disc. Both Sony and Philips had begun developing digital disc formats in the '70s, and both had encountered difficulties. When they pooled their resources, they were quickly able to overcome those issues well before any potential rival formats got out of the lab.
Once you started playing Take Five at 8:30, I immediately thought of The Secret Life of Machines. I would love to see you and Tim Hunkin in a video together. BTW I’m from the United States. I loved watching that show.
There is one piece of technology that I would love to see you tackle one day: the Ingelen Geographic radio receiver. Developed in Austria before World War II, it used some ingenious technology to display the location of each tuned station on a built-in map of Europe (in place of a conventional dial). If someone tuned into Poste Parisien, for instance, a light would light up indicating that Paris was the source of the signal. If you can get your hands on one, I think it would make for a fascinating YT video. But hey, all your videos are fascinating, so keep up the great work!
@Monty Python the Flying Circus Never ever curry sauce with fish and chips! Mushy peas are my go to option, but good to see fish, chips and gravy - a proper northern thing!
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure my father told me this story. Many of our conversations were on the subjects of "format wars" and competing technologies, licensing, etc... Regardless, I think this is one of the most beautiful stories I've heard on this subject.
That’s why my Grundig TK 247 reel-to-reel tape recorder was running a tad slow due to the AC motor which was German made. Many of these German Grundig machines was running slow. It has an international voltage setting, but here in the US, the voltage is set at 110V 60Hz, in other countries, it runs at 50Hz.
Thanks for your great quality videos. I love your channel. The Phillips Cassette Recorder you have there is the second model to be released, I think! The first model out had a different play/rewind/fast forward knob made out of cheeper looking plastic. I was 14 and got the models you have there for Christmas! For the late 60s the quality was pretty good, even for tape running at 1 7/8 IPS. It came with a pre recorded music cassette demonstrating the Phillips catalogue. I distinctly remember one track by the Herman Clebanoff Orchestra called San Antonio Rose, which was my favourite version of the song, even to this day! Happy Days! Cheers, Nigel Dixon.
That‘s the dilemma of the 21. century. Destroy the industry to protect the environment, destroy the internet to protect the content creators. Flippin‘ eck, do I feel protected. Anyway, marvelous job as usual, Mat!
I have never heard of this format before. I am surprised there are still formats out there that I have never heard of that Techmoan manages to keep finding. The ending was great, I glad you got your fish and chip money back!
As always your videos inspire a web search. Apparently Norio Ogha was asked by Sony co-founder Masaru Ibuka to design a portable stereo cassette player for travel purposes. This would eventually go on sale in 79 as the Sony Walkman. Would the Walkman have been as successful with the oversized DC International Cassette? Great video once again. Enjoyed the extra content at the end as well.
Not really - it is a mix of German and English. The German word would be "phantastisch" but they wrote "phantastic". I think it is just English translated in a hurry by a German.
I had put together in the past a small audio hifi museum which did not have any DC International media or machines - mainly because I didn't know they existed - Holy moly I think this is the second time you have hit me...
Good example of why copyrights should ONLY exist while the artist is alive AND only for a limited period (5-10 years). This forever copyrighted idea is completely nuts! Dead people don't make new works. Even John.
The way the Einloch-Kassette works is exactly the way an LTO data tape works today. I guess that they use this design for LTO. Lol shame LTO is so expensive for home users.
Outstanding video! I love this type of history! I remember doing a report at school about different audio formats through the years, and it turns out there were dozens I'd never seen or heard! Thank you so much for sharing your finds with us! You're the best!
As i heard from my father a few times until the (late?) 60's here in the Netherlands there where area's that still had 110v (or 125v) in stead of 220/230v. I think it's plausable that the multivoltage from this device is not only for use in the USA but also in that time to use in other country's with different voltage.
Same situation was all over the Europe, I have somewhere transformer rated for 110V,125V, 130V, 220V, 240V on grid side. As well I have heard about place where they had 220V from between phases.

I enjoyed this video very much, because I am a great fan of compact cassette. I was there when they first came out, and I owned one of the first Japanese model cassette recorders, the Aiwa TP707. But for me, as great as the video is, it is the puppets who had an excellent point (leave it to puppets to get it right). Bravo, Puppets! TH-cam Content ID really is a problem. It is ironic that TH-cam will go after any content provider in the name of anyone making any dubious claim about content. There are copyright trolls who claim ownership of public domain music, and TH-cam does NOTHING to stop them, instead they attack content providers! We all know the horror stories. I realize that TH-cam is a private organization and this isn't about free speech or any of that. But it IS about treating people - who make the bread and butter for TH-cam -- badly. I think this is why so many TH-cam contributors are going for Patreon. The support they garner is beyond TH-cam's control, and YT can't get any of that action - not that they don't try with their own version of "sponsorship". Still it is a pity that TH-cam behaves so badly in this regard. TH-cam DOES provide a wonderful service for the viewer. But WHY do it at the cost of the content provider. Maybe it's the threat of lawsuits? What if TH-cam content providers formed a class action suit as well as the music and film companies? TH-cam would scramble to avoid THAT scenario. They understandably don't want to get sued. It must be a nightmare for them. But, running a business on fear isn't the smartest business plan, is it? SMH!

Mr Deckers name is pronounced: wis (as in WISdom) sè (as in SEntence)
Neil Forbes
And it wasn't "Tele-Dec" it was "Teldec".

I believe the Dutch pronunciation of the name resembles the German. In IPA: Wisse [ ˈvɪsə ]. Not: [ ˈwaɪ̯si ]. So, the "W" is like the English "v", the "i" is like in "it", the "e" is like in "one" when the "e" is extra emphasized. :)

Techmoan: Are you agreeing with Yoshibro26, or disagreeing? You've both written the exact same thing including spelling (capitals aside) "It's teldec, not teledec"
I personally heard you pronounce it 'teledec', but I wasn't going to say anything since I knew nothing about the topic.
...
I guessed.
Where the extra 'e' was coming from, I don't know, but it was definitely pronounced several times in the audio despite it clearly being spelled 'Teldec'. My point was that Yoshibro26 and Techmoan wrote the exact same thing. I even checked Yoshibro26 's comment to see if it had been edited.

@Techmoan
03:56 You are INCORRECTLY saying TELEDEC when it is TELDEC .. Take a closer look.
And also it is 0 ZERO NOT O - EVEN THE SHAPE of the character IS NOT IDENTICAL.
One is a letter and the other is a numeral.
You have been successfully brainwashed by people who only knew O from the days
when the zero did not exist on type writers ---
This is how easily you and most other people are very easily mentally manipulated.
Besides all of that I studied Electronics and Electro-Mechanical Engineering in the
mid 1960's until December 1969 whilst with PHILIPS.
In 1970 I enlisted in the Military, where I served for 18 years.
It is critical, and I know as a licensed Pilot since age 16 and a Licensed Radio Operator
that it is critical to know differentiate between Letters and Numbers when dealing with
Alpha-Numeric sequences.
Otherwise serious communication errors are inevitable.
It is not difficult to get it right after brain adjustment getting over the indoctrination
you received by ignorant teachers.
Other that that your presentation is quite good, with good cadence.

Last summer, completely by chance, I had a chat with a fella selling an Elcaset deck at a flea market and he mentioned that Grundig had their own cassette system back in the day, so I've been waiting for you to get around to covering that :D
You bought the Elcaset deck, right?

Hey Matt. Thank you again for making the public discover another totally unknown format. And I also like your conclusion : closed licenced formats are made to die and the history is full of them. Compact Cassette free licenced with Sony : huge success. VHS Licenced by JVC to other makers : big success. CD shared between Philips and Sony : huge success. Closed formats like Betamax, V2000, DC International : failures.
That's how capitalism works, I'll scratch your back so you'll scratch mine.
Utter rubbish. VHS and Beta had exactly the same licensing model. Sanyo made Beta machines in vast numbers, the Sanyo VTC5000 was the number 1 selling video recorder in the UK at one point, outselling every VHS model, and was followed by the hugely successful VTC5150. Toshiba also built Beta machines, and there were badge engineered recorders from NEC, Aiwa and others. The same applied to Sony's Video8/Hi8 format which slaughtered the VHSC format in the camcorder market.
@@video99couk Never met a Betamax outside Sony. Never met a V2000 outside Philips/Gründig.
@@video99couk Never understood why anyone bought that Sanyo betamax. The picture was awful.
@@MrsZambezi I sort of understand what you are saying. Later Sony Beta machines in particular, did produce nicer pictures. But had a Sanyo VTC5150 and a JVC VHS portable back in 1984, and anyone could see the Sanyo Beta gave the better picture. Sanyo machines were possibly more inclined to show tape dropouts. However I find that if I have a really badly worn Beta tape, a Sanyo will sometimes give a better overall picture than a Sony. Picture quality varies between tapes and machines, as it does with VHS, where some tapes play better on a JVC, others better on a Panasonic.

Interestingly that Rolling Stones cassette is indeed their first album (self-titled "The Rolling Stones), but with additional two songs, that were released only as singles and not on the actual album.
I got confused with the Rolling Stones album. I thought the track listings were making a sentence: "I just wanna make love to you, honest I do, Mona, now I've got a witness"!

I have been binge watching all of Techmoan's videos and I can't stop! I find everything on this channel fascinating! Great video! Keep it up!
Have you perused hisvexhaustive collection of videos about dashcams? That was my introduction to Techmoan.
Yes. I'm a sucker for retro or nostalgia. Moan has such a good presenter voice and does such good research and presentations.
DC International sounds like a late 80s/early 90s soul/dance band.
or you know, a comic company.
It's a bit of an odd name for an audio medium.
Beats International?
It's a bit of an odd name for a comic company for that matter. DC Comics stands for "Detective Comics Comics"!
This is possibly the greatest puppet segment you have ever done. Glad you got things sorted out.
You have one of the best channels on all of TH-cam in my opinion. Google has a near monopoly and yet they hassle you about 11 seconds of music. Damned fools. Keep up the great work!
Time goes by so quickly I was born in late 70s growing up in 80s and 90s cassettes where best thing ever for yours play list those times where more magical!Nowadays can you even buy a CD???? It's nothing special today when you can get everything online, don't get me wrong it's super but at the same time all magic is gone 😢
You have perfectly right, man, these days we can have everything so easy, but the magic is gone, no charm at all. In the 90's, every casette tape i buy was preciuos to my collection!
I am the same age remember just Popping in to woollys or tower records and gawp at the top ten , simple times .
I shop around for OLD CDs, ones from the 80s and early 90s, before they started boosting the volume levels to maximum and ruining the dynamic range on the re-releases.
New music I just get from iTunes or from the download card that sometimes comes with a brand new vinyl record.
I guess I’m one of the reasons Best Buy stopped stocking CDs in their stores.
All the major Supermarkets in the UK still sell CDs. However, they are getting cheaper and cheaper with "Best of" CDs from the likes of Dolly Parton for £3 (the price of an upmarket coffee) and 5CD 100 track compilations for about £6.
You can still buy CD's of course, but unless it's some fancy digibook edition, it doesn't really feel special anymore. That's why music lovers brought back vinyls from the dead, that's still something special to hold in a collection.
loved the analogue powerpoint presentation :D
Its funny how this video switches finally to philosophy.
How a small, concidered unimportant thing/format changed the things to come.
Thank you very much for letting me think about that!

It's not just the amount of different formats Techmoan has reviewed, but the amount of different CASSETTE formats alone that's staggering. Man, tapes are cool.
I think the reason Grundig logo was crossed out and replaced with Telefunken is that they had a Grundig compact cassette player in another room or something. So it's a Grundig tape, but not for Grundig machine. My great-grandmother's vinyl and shellac records were all labeled by hand with respective gramophone/turntable brands (by my father, presumably), so she wouldn't mix them up.
Was watching a documentary on Concord... Saw Techmoan has new audio format video..... Easiest choice I've ever made 😂
And I was just on an SR-71 and X-15 video binge. Much harder decision there ;)
@@DavidLee-df888 when I went back to watch the documentary of Concorde it actually had a nice little bit re the spelling 😉. I never thought about it until I watched the rest of it... Then read your comment 😎
It makes me think of the S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) connection.
I never knew it stood for that - thanks, I love to learn something every day.

Gravy on your chips is indicative of just how Northern you are. Also the battered sausage commentary was perfect!
Yes - It was not until the high bias tape was developed that the fidelity of cassettes was good enough for them to be marketed as music format recorders.
Somehow "Grundig DC System International Time with Fran" doesn't have quite the same ring to it...
#o)
Hope the lab build is going well.
;o)
Thanks for pointing out that the compact cassette was developed in Belgium and not in the Netherlands.
I think Grundig's decision was about tape speed.
There must have been research that made 2 Inch/Sec the minimum required for the frequency response necessary for music, given the magnetic tape and head technology available at the time. Philips was initially not able to reach the fidelity and playback time necessary for music, inside the Compact Cassette.
I suspect that if thinner tape technology had been available, Philips would have settled on a higher tape speed from the onset.
Improvements in both the magnetic density on the tape itself as well as more effective heads lead to the Compact Cassette becoming suitable for music playback and recording, negating the necessity for higher tape speed.
Two inches per second is 6% faster than 1-7/8 inches per second. Not a lot of extra information in that 1/8".
Techmoan: it does take me a couple of minutes to explain so please bear with me
Everyone watching: take as long as you like mate, we love it!
Yet another fantastic video, and another lost format. Great stuff; man, this channel is the best.
That "Take Five" sounded pretty good on the machine.
I think it only really works as a track being played on retro machinery.
Define "good". It was playing slow with quite a bit of wow and flutter. But besides that.....
Instantly made me think of "The Secret Life of Machines". Although that show's theme was a cover version called "The Russians Are Coming".
@@johnstone7697 Well it isn't a hifi really.

The amount of obscure formats that came out just because some companies acted like spoiled childs not wanting to share or doing team work is absurd, but at least they help make awesome Techmoan videos.
P.D: TH-cam Copyright is getting ridiculous.

Everytime belgium is mentioned in any youtube video, it put a smile on my face
@@imansfield Belgium is not real
This cross-licensing agreement between Sony and Philips paved the way for their later collaboration on another pivotal audio format - the Compact Disc. Both Sony and Philips had begun developing digital disc formats in the '70s, and both had encountered difficulties. When they pooled their resources, they were quickly able to overcome those issues well before any potential rival formats got out of the lab.
Once you started playing Take Five at 8:30, I immediately thought of The Secret Life of Machines. I would love to see you and Tim Hunkin in a video together. BTW I’m from the United States. I loved watching that show.
I thought the exact same thing! I have the whole series downloaded.
I should point out that Tim is very much around on youtube: th-cam.com/video/Nr4fdXtRJXQ/w-d-xo.html
There is one piece of technology that I would love to see you tackle one day: the Ingelen Geographic radio receiver. Developed in Austria before World War II, it used some ingenious technology to display the location of each tuned station on a built-in map of Europe (in place of a conventional dial). If someone tuned into Poste Parisien, for instance, a light would light up indicating that Paris was the source of the signal.
If you can get your hands on one, I think it would make for a fascinating YT video. But hey, all your videos are fascinating, so keep up the great work!
Yay! Chips, Fish and Gravy!
That was cruel for us expats who can't just nip out and get Fish & Chips with gravy :-(
@Monty Python the Flying Circus I can and do, and thick-cut fries. It's not the same though. My yearly trip back home to the UK keeps me sane though.
@Monty Python the Flying Circus Never ever curry sauce with fish and chips! Mushy peas are my go to option, but good to see fish, chips and gravy - a proper northern thing!
When we used to go down to the amusements on the sea front, we'd only have enough for chips and gravy. Fish was a luxury.
Vee Macks as an immigrant like you, I just make my own.
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure my father told me this story. Many of our conversations were on the subjects of "format wars" and competing technologies, licensing, etc... Regardless, I think this is one of the most beautiful stories I've heard on this subject.
The "Take Five" you played as a demonstration was playing too slowly. Was it just the tape stretched due to age or the device running slow?
That’s why my Grundig TK 247 reel-to-reel tape recorder was running a tad slow due to the AC motor which was German made. Many of these German Grundig machines was running slow. It has an international voltage setting, but here in the US, the voltage is set at 110V 60Hz, in other countries, it runs at 50Hz.
Thanks for your great quality videos. I love your channel. The Phillips Cassette Recorder you have there is the second model to be released, I think! The first model out had a different play/rewind/fast forward knob made out of cheeper looking plastic. I was 14 and got the models you have there for Christmas! For the late 60s the quality was pretty good, even for tape running at 1 7/8 IPS. It came with a pre recorded music cassette demonstrating the Phillips catalogue. I distinctly remember one track by the Herman Clebanoff Orchestra called San Antonio Rose, which was my favourite version of the song, even to this day! Happy Days! Cheers, Nigel Dixon.
Great timing, was just thinking that I had nothing interesting to watch today!
I've been waiting for this one for some time - picked up some tapes @ a flea market a while back & was facinated. Great video by Techmoan as usual :)
Oh no, Dad's broken out the whiteboard again.
I'll have you know in 1995 my high school converted from chalk boards to White boards and it was a big deal!
Just found your channel quite recently and I love it! Thanks for creating all these videos 🙏🏼

Anyway, marvelous job as usual, Mat!
I love how Take Five sounds so wow and fluttered! Makes it sound warmer and more mellow.
I prefer the Marvel International cassette.
The Harvey International cassettes were a joke.
There was a later Dark Horse entry though...
No love for the Cassette 2000AD?
If Techmoan was a TV show, it would get a bigger audience than "Game of Thrones."
I said it before and I'll say it again: THAT INTRO!
I have never heard of this format before. I am surprised there are still formats out there that I have never heard of that Techmoan manages to keep finding. The ending was great, I glad you got your fish and chip money back!
laughed at the puppet show... Phabulous >_
As always your videos inspire a web search. Apparently Norio Ogha was asked by Sony co-founder Masaru Ibuka to design a portable stereo cassette player for travel purposes. This would eventually go on sale in 79 as the Sony Walkman. Would the Walkman have been as successful with the oversized DC International Cassette? Great video once again. Enjoyed the extra content at the end as well.
The Rolling Stones' title is in German. They pronounce 'ph' as 'f'.
Not really - it is a mix of German and English. The German word would be "phantastisch" but they wrote "phantastic". I think it is just English translated in a hurry by a German.
@@EoinJones Very likely, I agree.
Eoin Jones no the german word would be "fantastischen"
"ph" is pronounced as "f" in English too
I had put together in the past a small audio hifi museum which did not have any DC International media or machines - mainly because I didn't know they existed - Holy moly I think this is the second time you have hit me...
Copper screws? I need that.
Good example of why copyrights should ONLY exist while the artist is alive AND only for a limited period (5-10 years). This forever copyrighted idea is completely nuts!

As listening to this video I am actually sitting exactly in the old phillips facility in austria.
Your puppet show at the end is an amazingly well done description of everything that is wrong with copyright law today.
As i heard from my father a few times until the (late?) 60's here in the Netherlands there where area's that still had 110v (or 125v) in stead of 220/230v. I think it's plausable that the multivoltage from this device is not only for use in the USA but also in that time to use in other country's with different voltage.
Same situation was all over the Europe, I have somewhere transformer rated for 110V,125V, 130V, 220V, 240V on grid side.
As well I have heard about place where they had 220V from between phases.

TH-cam Content ID really is a problem. It is ironic that TH-cam will go after any content provider in the name of anyone making any dubious claim about content. There are copyright trolls who claim ownership of public domain music, and TH-cam does NOTHING to stop them, instead they attack content providers! We all know the horror stories.
I realize that TH-cam is a private organization and this isn't about free speech or any of that.
But it IS about treating people - who make the bread and butter for TH-cam -- badly.
I think this is why so many TH-cam contributors are going for Patreon. The support they garner is beyond TH-cam's control, and YT can't get any of that action - not that they don't try with their own version of "sponsorship".
Still it is a pity that TH-cam behaves so badly in this regard.
TH-cam DOES provide a wonderful service for the viewer. But WHY do it at the cost of the content provider.
Maybe it's the threat of lawsuits?
What if TH-cam content providers formed a class action suit as well as the music and film companies? TH-cam would scramble to avoid THAT scenario. They understandably don't want to get sued. It must be a nightmare for them.
But, running a business on fear isn't the smartest business plan, is it?
