Jeff Geerling: Self-hosting your own media considered harmful (updated). Youtube removed his content, saying that self hosting content is "dangerous or harmful content"
Self-hosting your own media considered harmful (updated) | Jeff Geerling
It says (updated) but what is the update?
Update (one day later):
YouTube has just reinstated the video, after what I presume is a human review process. I wish it didn't take making noise on socials to get past the 'AI deny' process :(
Go forth, and self-host all the things! I'll post further updates in this issue in my YouTube project.

Yeah I remember once when my friends Synology started acting harmful when he run jellyfin on it. it started off gasing mustard gas. It poisoned the well and made his son addicted to zyns. All of the cars in his neighborhood needed new batteries. The country's GTP dropped a lot that month and the ozone layer is gone. Thank God YouTube stopped platforming such harmful content. Too bad so luch damage has already been done.
Yes, exactly. The server I run jellyfin on kept promising me cake, though I am fairly certain the cake is a lie.
Synology is already enshittifying itself
I would go so far as to say they are already in a shit state, but they're just not stopping the process yet.
Jeff should consider hosting on Peertube and keeping his Patreon active. He's awesome and more than capable, I'd mirror him in a hot second.
He's on float plane. I think he's trying to make a living, so I'd assume YouTube ad revenue is a factor
It's pretty harmful to Googles cloud business.
Who would win:
Isn't that what an mp3 players main purpose is? Are mp3 players bad now?
MP3 players aren't bad, they're just mostly obsolete when smartphones can do the same thing and we mostly already have one.
I like to keep several GB of music on my phone from my MP3 library, and I have no streaming music accounts. I pay once for my music at most.
Clearly
it would be amazing if geerlingguy was the one to make youtube go mask off
Google has been mask off since they removed "don't be evil" as their slogan, and they've been proving it ever since. Apparently people don't pay attention!
I think a few folks haven't read the article or know who Jeff Geerling is. The title of this article is confusing.
Jeff posted a video on YT about how to self-host your own media in 2024. He recently got a violation from YT that YT considers his video to be harmful and dangerous. He appealed, got denied, but then the update is that YT removed the violation.
Saw the video… It mentions ”ripping” and even shows clips of some blockbuster movies. No wonder any copyright-sensitive automation gets triggered pretty fast. This will only get worse.
Pretty fast? The video was uploaded in 2024.
I think if the ripping includes de-DRM-ing it's is illegal in a lot of countries. I am not saying it's right, we should own our own content, I am just saying it as a fact.
What if I decide to digitize my entire movie catalog? I would have to rip those DVDs and blurays...
None of that is illegal. He states he purchased the media. And it's certainly not harmful content.
