This Repository is Violating GitHub's Policies #52

Closed ghost closed 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

@DvorakDwarf, ISG is violating GitHub's policies because ISG is technically malware. ISG is considered malware because it allows users to abuse YouTube by uploading very large files; in other words, You are allowing for users to slow YouTube down because YouTube's resources are not infinite. Please delete this repository and tell all relevant GitHub users to delete their forks of this repository ASAP.

\cc @github-staff, @google, @youtube.

I will wait for an official staff member to raise concerns as this has not been an issue with similar tools in the past

Also hard backpedaling now

@IRod22 Does that imply that "Streamers" uploading hours of streaming sessions (2/4/6 or even more hours) to youtube are abusing Youtube ? What about 10 hours rickroll then ?

@Andromelus, @DvorakDwarf, if the video is intended to be watched by viewers, then you are using YouTube's resources as they were intended to be used. In the case of ISG, ISG is using up YouTube's space that could have been used for other viewable content, including podcasts (such as TLDR Podcasts), documentaries (like the ones produced by Real Engineering and Wendover Productions), regular-length videos, livestreams (the longest of which I've heard of is the one produced by JapanesePod101.com; don't judge, please), and YouTube Shorts.
