What's happening to Google Play Music is a disgrace, Google must be held accountable
Google is moving Google Play Music to Youtube, including your libraries of music that you paid for to be available to you on Google Play Music.
Who else thinks it's wrong and is in fact a felony of some sorts.
I bought some music titles, downloaded them once, and keep them on Google Play Music, and nobody never said they could be deleted on a whim of some dumb Google bot.
If you buy music and pay for it on Google Play Music you expect it to stay like forever on Google Play Music because that's what you paid for and that was implied if not specifically stipulated.
I don't want my music to go under that stupid Wojcicki woman's control on Youtoob who is a crapitalist crook and thief, next thing that happens will be her stealing my payment methods details and subscribing me to Youtube Premium or some dumb useless Youtube service like that without my knowledge.
Her Youtube already sits on $100 of my money and refuses to pay up. It's a small amount to be sure but imagine Youtube doing that to millions of uploaders, how much money are they stealing now!?
And what will happen to Google Books - will they also go to Youtube?
It's a freaking disgrace.

Buy pictures on Shutterstock for your website or any other use!
From this or any other portfolio:
www.shutterstock.com/g/Ilya+BRV?rid=2802715
Millions of competitively priced photos, images, and video clips are available very cheaply too!
Or you could become a contributor yourself and maybe make some little money eventually but mainly to pander you photographer's ego when you pictures get accepted or even sold!

Youtube again demonetized my Youtube channels even though they re-monetized them themselves about a month ago.
The reason given is Re-used content but when I joined up there was no mention of re-used content in their policies.
Also, I don't believe I have any re-used content as all videos are mine but those with others' works (like my historic shortwave radio vids) are not monetized by me anyway as they are monetized and claimed by rights owners or groups representing them.
So, it apparently is all down to Youtube's greed pure and simple.
So here goes.
How Stupid and Greedy is Youtube?
Has YouTube grown too greedy under the idiot CEO Wojcicki (whatever) and outlived its usefulness to small YouTube creators who are an overwhelming majority on the platform?
Since 2018 something very wrong has been ongoing at YouTube.
YouTube under CEO Wojcicki has been engaged in deceptive practices and even what amounts to fraud in its dealings with small YouTube Creator channels.
YouTube's MO now seems to be to get as many people as possible to upload videos while denying channel monetization to the overwhelming majority of uploaders who happen to be small creators.
As far as YouTube is concerned, it works very well as they still can and do make money on unmonetized videos by making them available to paying viewing public subscribing to YouTube Premium.
But they still like to dangle the carrot of channel monetization in front of people with small channels so people keep uploading and watching videos on the platform and, to this end, greedily lie that new YouTubers can have their channels monetized once they get 4,000 hours of views and over 1,000 subscribers.
But the reality is that they are lying and most channels reaching 4,000 view hours per year and 1,000 subscribers will never be approved for monetization -- ostensibly for the reason of failing YouTube's review of compliance with their policies, for example, because "re-used" content will be found on such channels (without specifying what that content is and in which videos it can allegedly be found), and you can count on the fact that Re-Used content will be found; if not, they will come up with some other reason not to approve monetization or will just suspend the decision for ever.
Also, YouTube's so called policies, against which new channels are supposedly reviewed, are changing every month in line with the dictates of YouTube bosses' all-consuming greed and with a view to getting more content for less and less in outlay and expenditure.
It is important to remember that in 2018 YouTube already demonetized tens if not hundreds of millions of small creator channels that had been fully in compliance with YouTube's so-called policies in effect at the time. Their only fault was YouTube's unwillingness to pay those channels for content anymore, however little that pay was per individual channel (still amounting to hundreds of millions over all such channels).
Also, over the same period, YouTube deprecated many extremely useful features, claiming they didn't see much use - but they were lying here again because the principal motive force in these deprecations was again greed pure and simple - the desire on the part of YouTube bosses to reduce expenditure and to make YouTube smaller and cheaper to run with less features.
It is therefore hard to avoid reaching the conclusion that YouTube is now greedy, rotten to the core, stinks and is nothing but a criminal gang of greedy thieving capitalists, appropriating people's videos for own commercial use (over YouTube Premium if nothing else) and as ever operating outside the spirit and even the letter of applicable laws in most countries while faking concern over topical issues and using them as a pretext to squeeze YouTube uploaders even more.
So, in light of the above, my suggestion is not to upload videos on YouTube anymore and even not to watch YouTube at all but if you still do, don't ever pay them for anything, especially for YouTube Premium, make them work for free, and use a good ad blocker too.
So, has YouTube been going in the wrong direction starting in 2018 or maybe even earlier? Discuss in the comments.

Do you have a camera (or just a mobile phone) and like taking pictures?
Why not try selling your pictures on a stock photo website... and actually make some money out of them!
Shutterstock is one such stock photo (and more) website and has the largest numbers of buyers waiting to buy your creations.
You can join as a contributor here:
submit.shutterstock.com/?ref=2802715Even if you likely won't earn much at first (it is a process) or ever, it is very satisfying to have your photos accepted, displayed and finally downloaded and bought by someone!
Or
You can become a customer and Shutterstock will meet all your photography needs: www.shutterstock.com/?rid=2802715

The vileness of youtube
YouTube under Wojcicki went to the dogs and is staying there.
YouTube's MO now seems to be to get as many people as possible to upload videos while denying channel monetization to the overwhelming majority of uploaders.
As far as YouTube is concerned, it works as they still can and do make money on unmonetized videos by making them available to the paying viewing public subscribing to YouTube Premium which they now push very hard.
But they still like to dangle the hope of channel monetization in front of people so people continue to upload and provide content (for free) and also continue to work their channels and watch other videos and, to this end, greedily lie that new YouTubers can have their channels monetized once they get 4,000 hours of views and over 1,000 subscribers.
But the reality is that they are lying and most channels reaching 4,000 view hours per year and 1,000 subscribers will never be approved for monetization ostensibly for the reason of failing YouTube's review against their guidelines because "re-used" content will be found on such channels (without specifying what that content is and in which videos it can allegedly be found), and you can count on such content being found. Youtube also has other tricks not to approve your channel for monetization, including dragging out the review process indefinitely, literally for years.
What's more, YouTube's so called guidelines, against which new channels are allegedly reviewed, are changing every month in line with the dictates of their all-consuming greed and with a view to getting more and more content for less and less in outlay and expenditure.
It is important to remember that in 2018 YouTube already acted in bad faith when it demonetized tens if not hundreds of millions of small creator channels that had been fully in compliance with YouTube's so-called policies in effect at the time. Their only fault was YouTube's unwillingness to pay those channels for content anymore, however little that pay was per individual channel.
It is hard to avoid reaching the conclusion that YouTube is now greedy, rotten to the core, stinks and is nothing but a giant turd and a criminal gang of greedy thieving capitalists, appropriating people's videos for own commercial use (over YouTube Premium if nothing else) and as ever operating outside the spirit and even the letter of applicable laws in most countries while faking concern over topical issues and using them as a pretext to squeeze YouTube uploaders even more.
So, in light of the above, my suggestion is not to upload videos on YouTube anymore and even not to watch YouTube at all but if you can't help it and still do, don't ever pay them for anything, especially YouTube Premium, make them work for free, and use a good ad blocker too.

Many videos here, some hopefully unique while others are at least random.
This channel is about my experiences with various things or places and includes demonstrations, reviews, other videos on radios, video games, watches and clocks, music, cars, food, travel and other unique or at least random stuff, sometimes in Russian, sometimes in English, sometimes ... in nothing, also occasional Vlogging and Guerilla Videoing (and editing).
Videos are also grouped by playlist, so if you're looking for something specific, say videos on radio or gaming or anything else that's on my channel, Playlists is where to go.
My interests are: driving, radios and shortwave in particular, cars and other vehicles and transportation, bikes, watches and clocks especially mechanicals, urban and country hiking and exploration, bushcraft, simple living, animal world, food and drink, attractions, and Youtube and Youtubers. Expect videos on all of them. Also, a kind of running commentary on my life in videos.
