Below are the most recent 30 comments. I try to keep it clean of comment spam, but some times things
get through and it takes me several hours to get to it. So please excuse any of that comment spam.
yep no way to waste time on this crap :) I just keep it running and consider selling both sites I have, then just move on on something productive, there was enough time wasted
I was comparing two games earlier and got totally lost there’s barely any info on what sets them apart. Made me miss the new Google AI Overview stuff that actually shows comparisons clearly.
So I have been publishing one video per day on my YT channel and it was going well until last week. All of a sudden impressions declined(lost visibility for top terms) :(
I got 500 hours of watch time
1000 Subscribers
And all my videos are 100% liked and have been receiving positive feedback in the comments. But last week, all of a sudden, the stats fell off a cliff.
The interpretation of the ruling is wrong and prefers Anthropic's propaganda. In reality the judge ruled that fair use for the purposes of AI training can only be applied to content that's been legally acquired, but not to copyrighted works that have been copied and passed on without the permission of the copyright holder.
This means that virtually all AI models - which have been extensively trained on text databases that contain works of uncertain legality or confirmed illegal copies of copyrighted works - are illegal. It also means that if a website explicitly forbids the use of its materials for AI training, then any AI that still scrapes them is also illegal.
Violations of copyright law this way can result in fines of up to $250.000 incident, which means that if Anthropic has used only 1000 copyrighted works without permission, that alone can cost them $250 million.
He is so full of sh*t. The whole goal of AI overviews is to keep user on Google longer. This article really resonated with me, it's a death by a thousand cuts for publishers and small businesses:

Don't shoot the messenger. If I had written the laws, Spamdar and his executive team of mobsters would all be sitting in that El Salvador prison for life.
<b>A federal judge sides with Anthropic in lawsuit over training AI on books without authors’ permission</b> - <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/24/a-federal-judge-sides-with-anthropic-in-lawsuit-over-training-ai-on-books-without-authors-permission/">https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/24/a-federal-judge-sides-with-anthropic-in-lawsuit-over-training-ai-on-books-without-authors-permission/</a>
<blockquote>Federal judge William Alsup ruled that it was legal for Anthropic to train its AI models on published books without the authors’ permission. This marks the first time that the courts have given credence to AI companies’ claim that fair use doctrine can absolve AI companies from fault when they use copyrighted materials to train large language models (LLMs).
This decision comes as a blow to authors, artists, and publishers who have brought dozens of lawsuits against companies like OpenAI, Meta, Midjourney, Google, and more. While the ruling is not a guarantee that other judges will follow Judge Alsup’s lead, it lays the foundation for courts to side with tech companies over creatives.</blockquote>This judge was appointed by Billy Clinton and is another geriatric in Federal Government at age 79. Bet he can't program his tv remote and doesn't know "training" for AI is a synonym for stealing. Why do so many of these big techie cases seem to get assigned to the oldest farts around?
Yeah, I figured you were hit recently, you were lucky to not be hit the last 3 years, now this recent update has hit many more and it's due to AI overview
Don't forget how in bed BigTech is now with Trump. They'll bribe, persuade, etc. Trump or a politician or two to lobby the UK government to get it dropped. They're already succeeding with AI. It's happened before, not necessarily with BigTech. UK Gov wanted to block a takeover, but the buyers got some ahole to threaten to withdraw intelligence if the sale didn't go through, and it went through. The company was then broken up and sold off.
Dude, calm down.
I checked for you too - googleisjoke comment was removed, it wasn't Disqus. If Disqus removed it, the other's comments would have stayed, but it was the entire comments even replies that got removed. On my end, it shows "Removed".
I believe you're referring to Birmingham?
That's one area that I always advise my friends to be careful, especially if you're elsewhere coming to the UK for the first time.
Many extremely religious individuals there and they're always doing those "protests" (if you know what I mean). They're also the ones that wants different sets of laws for their people.
If they ever find out you're from a different religion or you're questioning their faith, you better get out of there. When things go out of control, riot police had to be called. It is one crazy place that I don't even dare to visit.
So easy to generalize the hate? Here's my first ever watched programming tutorial on YouTube (by an Indian). I can post dozens more. See the difference.

Ok, I just discovered something despicable.
You guys remember a few days back I said Gmail seems to have rolled out some changes to the tabs?
<blockquote>Clicking on “Promotions” tab now shows 2 categories - “Top Picks” and “Remaining Promotions”. The Top picks show 2 random promo emails you’ve gotten, but they also intentionally show 2 “sponsored” ads below it.
Then the “Remaining Promotions” is where all the rest of your newsletter and whatnot get in. And Google weaves random “Sponsored” ads in them.
And if you view the "Social" tab, there are 2 "sponsored ads" right at the top.</blockquote>
So I just discovered Gmail, or, rather, Google is now doing something despicable. When I clicked the “Social” tab, the 2 sponsored ads did not show up at first. However, after a few seconds later, it pops up. And I’ve accidentally clicked on one of the ads because I was reading one of the email’s title and about to click, and the ad suddenly pops over and shifts that email down.
This is clickjacking and will cause advertiser money. Absolutely despicable.
CTR steady downward trend from 5,7 to about 3%, thanks incest bastards
CTR says it all! not impressions, not clicks, CTRs, if you have these fucked you are done! (like me)

This is rubbish. It'll make no difference. Read the article. No decision until Q4. Then threatened the CMA and UK gov with 'business' reasons why the UK benefits from fast roll outs of products. Google will appeal any decision. It'll be years before anything happens.
Yes I agree, indian sites seem to be getting higher in the search for some reason. Also indian youtube videos. I don't listen to them as any accent that is not english hurts my ears.
In a nation of immigrants, many of us Americans overlook nationality and are accustomed to concentrations of nationality in business because we've grown up with neighborhoods that are the same. With Google, they have a high concentration of corruption at the top. Spamdar previously worked for McKinsey & Co, which helped spread the opioid addiction epidemic in the USA for profit which left many dead from overdoses.
Corruption, or at least deep concerns, at the top of big companies is not limited to Google. Intel has received billions in tax subsidies and holds many defense contracts in the USA. But the CEO of Intel, Lip-Bu Tan, also had personal investments in China including 8 companies linked to the People's Liberation Army.
I think the USA has become a breeding ground for big techie corruption because many American politicians are geriatrics and don't understand technology at all so they are very easy to scam. Look at Senator Feinstein who stayed in office until the very end. Before her death at age 90, she was in hearings and caught on mic not knowing why she was even there.
Rooters reports:
<b>
UK may compel Google to change search rankings to ensure fair competition</b> - <a href="https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/uk-plans-increase-control-over-google-search-2025-06-24/">https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/uk-plans-increase-control-over-google-search-2025-06-24/</a>
<blockquote>Britain's competition regulator said it may force Google to rank businesses more fairly in search results, marking the first use of expanded powers to oversee the world's biggest tech companies.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is proposing to designate Alphabet-owned Google with "strategic market status", it said on Tuesday, giving it more power to intervene in search services to increase innovation and economic growth.</blockquote>
