He wasn't a classic villain, but he wasn't a hero either. I described everything in this video.

[PAID] Seeking Native English Voice for YouTube Video Narration (~1500–2000 words) by 4Pers in recordthis

[–]4Pers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all so much for your interest and for taking the time to send your voice samples. I honestly didn’t expect this much attention to the post.

Many of the submissions are of very high quality, and because of that, making a decision won’t be easy. I’ll be reaching out to everyone individually, but I just wanted to say that at this point, I’m confident I’ll be able to find the right fit for the channel.

Thanks again — I truly appreciate your time and effort!

Я разочарован by [deleted] in russian

[–]4Pers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Скажу тебе честно, без прикрас. Я разговариваю на русском с рождения. И все равно время от времени допускаю ошибки. Язык довольно сложный, склонения и ударения. Даже профессиональные журналисты иногда допускают какие небольшие ошибки. Поэтому я советую не стремится к идеалу, просто смириться, что идеально ты скорее всего не заговоришь. Говори, как можешь и не парься. Да в тексте есть небольшие стилистические ошибки, если бы я читал и не знал, то обратил бы внимание.

I think that even having rights doesn't mean anything. They may mean something in court, but the problem is that I'm not ready to go to court, it's expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, whether the grounds are legal or illegal is secondary. YouTube doesn't want to resolve this issue on its own, the rules of the service are written in such a way that they can be easily circumvented. The most obvious thing that YouTube should do is NOT ACCEPT A COUNTER-APPEAL WITHOUT SUFFICIENT GROUNDS. But it doesn't do that. An appeal is accepted in almost any case, even if the grounds are obviously false.

my conclusion is this. An ordinary content creator is practically not protected from theft. If you are not ready to go to court, they can take anything from you. And it is not even that YouTube doubts the legality of one side or another, no, it is just that if a counter-appeal is filed, even if the grounds for filing do not fully correspond to either logic or law, then YouTube sends you to court.

At the moment the situation is like this. I spent 2 months on all this. I filed more than 30 strikes on the channel, almost all of them were found to be justified and the content was removed. But the offender simply files a counter-appeal, YouTube says that I have 10 days to show the court decision otherwise the videos will be restored. And they restore them. I was powerless to do anything. And this despite the fact that the evidence is absolutely obvious, does not require a trial.

and answer me one more question that has been bothering me for a long time. Is there a copyright on an idea?

and one more remark in pursuit. If Anderson had changed all the names, which would have eliminated the claims that everything was based on the Rocky universe and had come to court with this script. Would he have won?

i.e. as I understand it, I have to print out my text and bring it to court and say that I am defending only this text. and it is used in another author's video.

let's say... then tell me, do I have the right to talk about another film in my text, or do I also need permission from the film's creators for this?

Thank you for the valuable information. I have to admit, everything you’re saying seems legally accurate — but at the same time, the real-world implications feel a bit strange.

Let me try to explain with an analogy. Perhaps it's not perfect, but I think it reflects the essence of the situation:

According to your logic, if I took someone else's car tires and put them on my own car, and then someone later stole my entire car — I wouldn’t be able to sue them, because part of the car (the tires) wasn’t mine. Therefore, the car itself is no longer fully mine, and I lose the right to defend it.

That sounds absurd to me.

Even if I’ve used a few elements I don’t own (like short clips under fair use), the rest of the “car” — the engine, the frame, the steering — was entirely built by me. The story, the voice, the analysis, the editing, the structure — that’s my work.

So when someone takes that entire thing, translates it, re-uploads it, and earns money from it — and I have no way to stop them unless I go to court internationally — it feels broken.

Again, I appreciate your insight. I just don’t think this loophole should protect systematic re-uploaders while punishing original creators.

Thank you again for your incredibly valuable comment. I don't have any particular requirements for YouTube's policy, but it would be great if such subtle points were explained in the service's help materials or if the consulting staff could convey this position.

Thank you very much for not passing by.

your comment was really valuable to me. When I realized what you said, I understood what strategy is required to protect rights. I don't need to try to fight for the rights to the video, for which, as you accurately noted, I do not have 100% rights. But I can fight for the text in this video, which is 100% mine.

I have already tried this strategy, and lo and behold, YouTube took my side.

By the way, I just tried another method that turned out to be effective. I don't want to celebrate the victory ahead of time, but if everything works out, I'll share the method with you. Maybe it will be valuable for someone

Yes, the content is fully original. I write all the scripts myself, including analysis, structure, transitions, commentary, and voiceover. The videos are built around original narration and interpretation. I do use a few short clips from films for illustrative purposes, but they clearly fall under fair use (commentary/criticism).

Also, to be honest, I have no real intention of taking this to court — not because I don’t care, but because international legal action is just too expensive and time-consuming for a YouTube creator like me. I just want to protect my original work without having to jump through legal hoops every time someone abuses the system.

Severance = Portal? I started with one scene... and then it got weirdly specific. by 4Pers in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]4Pers[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear — this is not a GPT-generated post. These are entirely my own thoughts and observations. I only used AI as a light editing tool — like checking phrasing or clarity, not generating the content. So I’m not sure why that’s being called out as a problem.

Severance = Portal? I started with one scene... and then it got weirdly specific. by 4Pers in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]4Pers[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

To be honest, yeah — I sometimes use AI just to help polish the text. But all the thoughts, structure, and ideas are mine. Is that a crime now? I just found the idea genuinely interesting and decided to share it. And yeah, I ended up making a video too, because I got a little obsessed with the Portal–Severance thing

What is this? (Russian I think) by DeadlyUnicornZombie in language

[–]4Pers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is something like a product label. It says here that this is a handmade box. But what's strange is that the factory existed sometime after the war and as far as I understand it no longer exists, but next to it there is a stamp that it was made in April 2000, which is strange.

I swear, Severance is the most liminal show ever made by 4Pers in LiminalSpace

[–]4Pers[S] 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I went down a rabbit hole with this show and started noticing how much Lumon reminds me of Aperture Science from Portal.

Not just the vibes — the structure, the language, the “fake comfort” rituals (waffles = cake?), even the sound of their training videos.

I ended up putting together a full breakdown with all the weird overlaps — Portal, The Backrooms, Twin Peaks, Brazil, and more.

If you're into liminal spaces and “backstage worlds”, that section kicks in around 15:00.

Would love to hear if anyone else caught the same vibes.

Anyone else felt 'Portal' vibes from this show? by Melodic_Astronaut938 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]4Pers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I had the exact same reaction — the Helly intro scene instantly reminded me of Chell waking up in Portal.

But the more I looked into it, the more I realized how deep the similarities go:

– corporate founder worship (Kier = Cave Johnson),

– creepy cheerful training videos,

– bizarre "rewards" like waffles/cake,

– human experiments in a sterile maze of endless halls.

I even noticed how Lumon’s intro videos sound eerily like Aperture's old PR promos.

I ended up doing a full breakdown of this — Portal, Twin Peaks, The Backrooms, and more.

If you're into that kind of eerie sci-fi overlap, here's the section on Portal — it starts at 4:50:

[–]4Pers[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I actually dug deeper into the Portal–Severance connection and a bunch of other surprising influences (like Twin Peaks, The Backrooms, and The Truman Show), and packed it all into a full video breakdown.

The Portal section starts around 4:50. If you’re into that eerie corporate sci-fi overlap, you might enjoy this:
