Jeff Geerling got the brunt of YouTube wrath when he showed people how to host their own media {media that they legally own, which means that they either have the originals, or have paid for whatever digital version they have} with the power of Open Source tools
Jeff explicitly made sure that he never ever told people how to circumvent subscriptions or worse. Nothing that could harm YouTube bottomline was ever discussed in this video.
Yet for reasons obvious to Open Source people like me YouTube gave him his second strike.
3rd Strike and you're gone. This is how Google / this is how Alphabet is treating their Golden Geeze.
Creators like Jeff are very valuable both to the people who follow them and to YouTube. However Google seems to be at Super odds with Open Source, needing it to run their data centers but hating it because they have to share the code again that they've worked upon.
Google is a paradoxical Company which is being controlled by Alphabet, a schizophrenic Entity drunk on power Ads and control
To me you're a star @geerlingguy keep Shining
