When employment is severed, where does the line in the sand stop? Caleb Denison supporters can rally behind the renowned media personality and help him in a time of need.
One of my big goals for Techigar is to create a platform for change. Actual change. Not a bunch of horseshit promises that go nowhere. I’m trying to do that by spending as much time highlighting thoughtful, innovative tech that gives back, at least as much as the popular stuff. But I also want to draw attention to causes that can make a difference. In this particular case, it won’t make a wordly difference — we’re not changing the industry here. But it will make a huge difference on someone’s life, especially someone struggling at this very moment.
I won’t delve into the particulars. But after separating with his former employer, Caleb Denison started a new YouTube channel called Caleb Rated. If you know anything about the guy, he’s humble, giving, and does an excellent job at creating content for the community. He’s one of the most prolific creators in the space and his videos and content are top-notch. The entire tech and how-to content world will suffer if he’s not able to create useful content, that much I know.
Here’s how we can help Caleb Denison
So, why am I here? I’m sharing a GoFundMe campaign that aims to help Caleb keep fighting so his channel stays live. Here’s what his team has to say about what’s going on:
On April 27th, his former employer filed copyright claims on his new channel. This was done to harass him and shut down his new business.
The claims are baseless and Caleb is fighting to keep his channel going. Please help by donating funds for legal expenses.
If you want to read more, some big tech pundits have also shared the situation in Peta Pixel, The Verge, Sound & Vision, and ecoustics, including statements from the former employer. I’ll let you make your own conclusions.
I donated. Not a huge amount because I also lost my job in December, 2024, but I still wanted to support Caleb in his fight and I hope you will too. I also toned down a lot of what I wanted to say here, as the company makes everyone sign a non-disparagement clause — legally enforceable or not.
