    Oh, gotcha.
    I’m pretty sure they have a patreon.
    They ran a Kickstarter to fund the production of this specific 3h episode, and all levels of backers got a USB key with a copy of the video on it.

    The issue isn’t it being deleted. It won’t disappear.

    The issue is the contents potentially not reaching as many new viewers unaware of Nvidias shady behaviour and how the black market of GPUs actual works because Bloomberg (who have sponsorship from Nvidia) DMCAd the video.
    Either because their articles were used as a source and the text of those articles were shown on screen (potentially reducing views those articles would have received if they were linked? Or something? No idea how you would provide a snapshot of the information as it was at the time of publishing the video, tho. Cause the article could be edited after GNs video was published, making any soft references meaningless).
    Or because they used some of Bloombergs video of POTUS, which (in my understanding) cannot be copyrighted.

    So to me, it seems like GNs video was frivolously DMCAd to reduce its impact on Nvidia.
    The impact of that DMCA is that: as it was starting to trend it gets taken offline for ~10 days. After which, YouTube’s algorithm will be unlikely to promote it via its algorithm because it hasn’t had any new views for 10 days.
    Effectively killing the video.
    Gamers Nexus gets a “strike” against their channel (of which they get 3).
    Bloomberg has 0 repercussions.

    Unless we all kick up enough fuss to cause some repercussions, and support GN enough to get the exposé trending again.
