Recently I received 2 false copyright strikes on almost 3 year old short content by the 13 Million subscriber Roblox channel VuxVux (@VuxVux). Whilst the content was commentary short slop, it was fair use. I reached out to him on Instagram and in emails to attempt to resolve the matter and was blocked & ignored. 2 other smaller creators (Trivodex and MaskFor1) have also been falsely struck by VuxVux in the past week. One of these creators, Trivodex, has had his reply hidden and been blocked after calling him out for this.
YouTube just demonetised my shorts channel for "reused content." My channel got hit with this back last November and my appeal was accepted within 24 hours. I haven't changed my content since. It is reaction based content and my own. Whilst you can say whatever about the quality of the content or what it was like in the past, this just isn't correct and isn't reflective of the content I've been posting for the last couple of years since being monetized. YouTube themselves believed they made a mistake last year but now they don't when nothing has changed?
@TeamYouTube this is clearly a mistake. Please take a look at this.
Some people (@lazy_bedhead & @Spinnlinq) who have made videos on Plagued Moth have woke up today today find that their videos have either been removed or had a privacy complaint filed against them. Youtube doing what it does best. Thoughts?
