The King in the Mountain, also known as the Bergentrückung in German, is the recurring myth of a Legendary Hero currently asleep, often inside a mountain. When needed, he will awake and save the day and/or bring glory.
Examples of Bergentrückung
King Arthur of Britain
Constantine I of the Byzantine Empire
Constantine XI of the Byzantine Empire (they had a few)
William Tell of Switzerland
Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) of Ireland
Charlemagne of Germany, among others
Holger Danske of Denmark
Vlad the Impaler of Romania
Emperor Norton of the United States
Wow all these legendary heroes are lazy and should wake up.

Hah, surprise Undertale reference because there is a literal Bergentrückung, with part of his music named for the concept!

There is an SRD up right now. It's not finalized because they are doing a big playtest and looking at feedback.
Noyohoho! I hoped for the unnertell ref to be made.

I don't want to get pizza, so I'm thinking the deli at the grocery store, but that's gonna be fried chicken and vegetables or something similarly unimaginative.
They're saying that you are no longer allowed to link to your Patreon or Merchandise unless you have monetization enabled
There are some channels that pride themselves on being Ad-Free thanks to their Patreon, and Youtube is now saying no you can't do that
And like most dumb Youtube decisions, this appears to have been announced with immediate effect and no warning so everyone's flat footed, and odds are Youtube won't explain this at all

Huh, I expect to hear from Jim Sterling about this.
For your faith I reward you with more goats
If one of your primary vehicles for generating revenue is youtube, they probably deserve a taste

Yep, just downloaded it (and printed a hard copy at work >_> )
Just for you
I think it's the misplaced credit that's supposed to be the issue, maybe.
Yes
And now the US in particular has really stepped back from it and you're expected to do like 60 hour weeks
That's the aggravating thing
Huh, that's going to splat a bunch of modders and other content creators.
It was a positive change. What makes me mad is when its treated like it was the magnanimous act of a benevolent titan and not something wrested away by labor.
Ford was a virulently anti-Semitic protofascist who did business with Nazis. He should be a constant source of national embarrassment, but hey he was good at making money.
It is crediting Ford for it instead of the people who fought for it.
I dunno youtube is ok with racist nazi sympathizers being one of their prime revenue generators. Maybe they deserve a "get fucked" especially with how they demonitize people without much warning or explanation.

get fucked in this case is "stop using youtube" though.
Which is fine; if people want to set up their own site where people can see the content, go for it. Squarepace plus s3 is crazy cheap and easy to run.
YouTube is under no requirement to let people use their platform to make a bunch of money and use loopholes to avoid giving any of the revenue to them.

This is the worst of it, I think. Youtube changing policy sucks, but every company does that. Youtube does it immediately and you can find the rug pulled from under you with no explanation.
the big problem (that I see) is that there are significant issues with youtube's monetization scheme (mostly DMCA stuff) that results in your viewers seeing ads and you not getting a penny out of it because some big name claimed you infringed their copyright. There is then months spent arguing back and forth and at the end, the company got all the revenue from your video and whether or not the video is ultimately determined to be fair-use, you're not getting any significant money from it anymore.
Google has got to fix the abuse in their system before they go "Nope, no competitors allowed!"
I mean, clearly they don't because they own the system. There's a reason they got rid of "Do no evil"
what value do they add to anything
I don't think we've stepped back that far.
edit: Google says 47 is the average for adults, which is still quite significant (nearly 20% up from 40) but not quite 60.

Last time I looked, squarespace is pretty pricey (though comes with a bunch of handy tools I'm sure) compared to other options, and especially compared to the free thing they've been using.
YouTube is under no requirement, but they also rely on these content creators. Pissing them off by abusing their trust and switching the rules at random is not a great idea.
yeah the 8 hour day was a huge thing the early labour movement fought for worldwide.
Until the 1830s, the demand was for the 10 hour day.
It was a fight of maybe 150 years. Giving Ford the credit is obscene.
Except Google didn't look for a single solution to this problem other than "use our monetization system".
Why not look at charging content creators a fee when they are generating large amounts of traffic and not running ads?
That seems like a thing that is both possible and makes sense. "You're using our platform to make money, pay us some of that money".
It's cheaper to work someone for 60 hours and pay overtime (loooooooool they're probably salary who are we kidding) than it is to hire 2 people to work 30 hours a piece (where we should be at instead).
They should make overtime punitive. Just get rid of salary worker and put everyone as hourly, and OT is double time. No more fancy math on what counts as "overtime" either, if it's past 8 hours a day, including a 1 hr lunch (or 30 minutes + 2x15 minute breaks) then it's overtime.
If not, we put business owners on a fucking boat and..
Legally no, but I've heard a lot of chatter that some industries put enormous pressure on you to stay, and if you don't you screw yourself out of advancement.
Yo I can show you some dope places on the north shore.
This isnt a no competitors allowed moment though.
It is a "you arent allowed to make money on our platform without us being in the conversation"
There are dozens of big services you can post your videos on with their own rules around profitability, and you can easily roll your own and be available on every single device on the market.
But if you want to use YouTube you have to play by their rules and that seems fair, even if the rules may suck from time to time.
