That sounds like next quarter’s problem!

Search was never Google’s money maker, that was AdWords. Search was merely the tool they used to get users in the door and exposed to AdWords, where they made their money. AdWords raked in ~100M/day in the early 2010s iirc.
This is significant because this is the first time in the history of copyright bots that they've ever had to remove a work from the bot's registry. Given how rarely it happens, the code to do that probably won't even be worth the cost of writing for another decade or two: some guy at YouTube will just add a manual exception for that video. (And that's assuming the best of intention and action from the copy-vio-bot sellers which is unlikely, given their existing behavior.)
Right, I think we’re in agreement. I apologize if my tone was harsh: It’s not because of your question but because her asshole approach to everyone else is selfish and infuriating.
That’s the thing about your original question, though: this isn’t an experiment in a social-sciences sense. It fails categorically in ethics, rigor, and investigative purpose: in all meaningful research senses.
She’s just fucking around with people to get views, and maybe she’s finding out.
If she’s doing human research, she’d have to get sign off from an institutional review board who’d require that her experiment doesn’t cause lasting harm or discomfort to the participants. You know, the opposite of what she’s doing when she’s trying to get views by causing a confrontation.
Scientists are bound by these weird things called ethics, which is why there’s never been a laboratory experiment showing that smoking causes cancer in humans.
I think people mad at Reuters don’t realize that they’re intentionally invoking the Streisand Effect in this case. Otherwise, today, I wouldn’t have heard anything about:
confirmed scammer Rajat Khare covering up his scammy ways
Life in hospital because he publicly vowed to keep doing it while his trial was going on. That’s not a smart thing, that’s definitely not a sane thing. You apologize and move on to get out, you double down if you really like the food, white walls, and basic healthcare, or, you know, if you can’t stop yourself from saying so.
So we can either have secure cars or late stage capitalism? Sounds like a worthwhile trade.
