CinemaStix has also been fighting these lately. In their case, YouTube seems to have zero regard for Fair Use, and short-sighted film rights holders are striking every video containing any amount of their film, even though the publicity CinemaStix gives them likely increases sales.

It is common for racketeers to steal revenue from a popular video until YT sorts out the legal ownership a few weeks later. It is a known con... one often not worth the $50k to extradite and haul them in front of a judge to recover your losses. =3

its crazy that those funds arent held in escrow until the video publisher gets to respond/the dispute is resolved

The funds are held in escrow. GP is wrong.

I noticed `ChainPatrol` has a Github: https://github.com/chainpatrol There's a `report abuse` button on the right of that page. I used it. (Category: Bullying and Harassment)

Contrary to this, I'd like to see 3blue1brown actually get two more strikes and get deleted per YouTube "3 strikes" policy. Imagine the furor and outrage of that. One of the most popular, meaningful, and impactful channels done in by YouTube's (and the DMCA's) ridiculous policy [1]. The public outcry from this might motivate real policy changes both within Google and other FANNG companies as well as with lawmakers. U…

Sure. But what they are really doing is giving you a pay cut each year without you realising, and the bankers and their friends closest to the money printers are pocketing it. Compounding even 3% annual cut in real value adds up to an 80% pay cut over 50 years.

Even worse the people nearest the money printers are largely engaged in the business of starting (and most frequently losing) foreign wars of choice. The human suffering created by the system is immense.

Yes. As they're incentivised to "lend" (print) as much money as they can, to obtain the interest, the outcome is that they're encouraged to start wars and fund both sides, because war generates the highest demand for loans. The longer the war lasts, the better.

There aren't that many channels with over 5M subscribers. 3Blue1Brown is 706th in the world. It's insane to me that YouTube still doesn't have a manual sanity check for claims against their top ~1000 channels or so. That couldn't possibly cost much, and it would fix a PR problem that hits so often you can use it as a calendar.
