Sounds like YouTubers should go after YouTube when this happens. Maybe a class action lawsuit for lost revenue?

    There is no good answer to it.

    It is ridiculous that a channel which uploads thousands of authentic original content can lose all algorithm momentum from a frivolous DMCA strike removing their video for 10 days.
    It basically guarantees a video gets killed. Even if the video gets reinstated after an appeal.

    This particular video will massively bounce back. People are angry at Nvidia, people are angry with YouTube and with YouTubes DMCA process, and now people are angry at Bloomberg.
    And Gamers Nexus isn't gonna let this drop, and GN has earned its communities trust (and I think trust in general) that there will be flocks of people ensuring the video doesn't die.

    But if this was a smaller channel releasing a massive expose like this, it would probably just drop out off the public's radar before it gets established

    Messy. Youtube could just refuse to serve his videos because they decide they don't want to :/

    They have more lawyers than God, I can't help but think the contract they all have with Google favors Google to the extreme.

    Yeh, exactly.
    It's a private company.
    It's a huge platform, but YouTube can choose what YouTube is.

    The only way any change happens is if YouTube gets raked over the coals by enough content producers (that they could collectively start their own platform) by media and potentially by governments (recognising them as some sort of critical communications or something and implementing regulations?).
    Or if all the YouTube viewers decide they have had enough and go elsewhere (where, tho? Kinda goes hand-in-hand with creators starting their own platform).

    So the pressure needs to keep building, YouTube needs to keep doing shitty things. Eventually... Hopefully?... Something changes: YouTube gets better, a new platform is born.

    We need monetization in peertube, and peertube to have community tools like (or exceeding) lemmy.

    I think it's a pretty low bar, but it's not just going to happen without massive interest
