    Ignoring the myriad of other issues listed in this thread, the bit about training AI is pretty misleading. It’s not hard to scrape webpages for whatever kind of data you like, even if loops doesn’t outright hand things over for third parties for that purpose.

    And the kind of people who are downloading the entire internet to train AIs are the type to be willing to just scrape without permission.

      Hey, check it out; it’s the thing loops said buried in the middle of your paragraph highlighting what other parties can or will do.

      They are claiming not to train AI using your videos/info theirselves. I don’t think it’s misleading just because other people can scrape that info.

      Not that that has anything to do with them of course.
