It appears like the channel has thankfully been restored to some prior state. All the Ripple stuff is gone.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@matthiaswandel/videos" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@matthiaswandel/videos</a>
This sucks. Some crypto scam BS replaced it.<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/matthiaswandel" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/user/matthiaswandel</a> now redirects to some Ripple nonsense.
Thank you for this thread. I posted one but it didn't get anywhere (<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39183534">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39183534</a>)<p>Adding my comment in the hopes it will inflate this thread's visibility.<p>I've noticed some people blaming Matthias for this which is silly. We all like to think we've got our security tight and locked but the truth is that, for almost all of us, it'll never be tested.
Feels like this is relevant here: <a href="https://kellyshortridge.com/blog/posts/what-does-the-word-security-mean/" rel="nofollow">https://kellyshortridge.com/blog/posts/what-does-the-word-se...</a> - this is not Matthias’ fault, this is our systems failing us all in creating a ‘secure’ environment.
It's awful that only a privileged subset of hacked users may get enough public attention to have Google give special treatment.<p>But I hope Matthias gets his channel back. I'm a long-time subscriber to both of his channels. Hopefully my comment adds into the pile and brings more notice to him :)
