At this point, I think people are deliberately trying to abuse the system as a form of protest to get YouTube's attention. How many channels have we heard of in the past week or two getting false copyright strikes?

Brainscratch Comms (they're not as popular as Doug Walker of CGR but they have over 50,000 subs) got hit with a copyright claim from some old video on Catherine a few weeks ago that they're only now sorting out. This definitely screams epidemic to me.
[QUOTE=RedBaronFlyer;49627109]I mean where do you go if your channel gets taken down? Dailymotion?[/QUOTE]
I wish Stage6 by DivX was still around. It only lasted two years. In terms of video quality it was ahead of it's time and could have been a great alternative.

update on this

Of course legitimate content creators get hit and not the people who harass others, openly advertise sexually assaulting people, legally bully people for the better part of a year...
[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;49641148]Believe it or not, the latest people hit by anything like that were The Best Gamers:

How is that even a copyright violation, it's just a guy poorly singing a couple bars from a known-about song.
It's not like it's replacing the experience of buying and listening to the actual song, which is really the only time copyright violations make sense to me.
Like if a shitty video has the actual mp3 playing over it, a case could be made that people will listen to that video for free forever instead of buying the song which loses money for them, but mentioning a song or showing clips from a movie [I]in a review for that movie[/I] is nowhere near grounds for a takedown. Like, they give credit to sources on shows like The Daily Show and they never get any issues. Why should the internet be any different about presentation of the same kind of content?
i love how the copyright system in YT is so bad that you literally can get a strike for singing a song
this is a joke that youtubers constantly make
how long until someone goes "whoa careful we'll get a strike" after jokingly singing a song and they actually get a strike

Ashens usually joked about all of the copyright tomfoolery but his jokes are becoming a nightmarish reality.
Youtube has the money, the people and the scale. It will take one hell of a service to combat that.

And imagine the mess that is copyright.

Actually no. Voat was made to be a competitor with Reddit.
Because it operates the same as reddit, people who were purged from Reddit moved there. ANd its not just FPH and r/Niggers.
A lot of others have moved their too after a lot of the mass bannings started happening including a sizeable trans and LGBT+ community.
[editline]31st January 2016[/editline]
But you guys can keep your whole, "Voat is for creepy people" and watch Reddit act more and more draconian.
I think Facebook is the only chance in getting an alternative to Youtube. Sure it may sound like a bad idea but Mark Zuckerberg is pretty open-minded sometimes and if he sees a way to get even more content on Facebook then he'll do it without any restrictions that Youtube has. Microsoft could do it also but we all know that wouldnt turn out well.

game grumps litterally had to do that because maker studios would kill their video before the copyright claimer could if they sung a song; first it was singing a song at all; second it was singing for more than 5 seconds; then singing for 12 seconds or something like that; then they were freed from it. then they left maker :v:
[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;49627368]Also as much as I hated it when it was first becoming a thing, I now totally get why Patreon is a thing. Not having to worry as much about the possibility of YT just randomly stopping your income must be a godsend.[/QUOTE]
Not that patreon hasn't done the same thing before.

community aside voat is a much better website overall, it has most of the features only available in the Reddit enhancement extension and has a focus on transparant moderation with public modlogs so its very obvious when mods take things too far. whereas on reddit a combination of automod shadowbans and completely opaque moderation has lead to extreme biases and completely unhinged moderation.
I still visit voat and have had to block a lot of their defaults just because of all the dumb racist shit that comes up but it really is better otherwise. its a good argument for why clamping down on free speech in the first place isnt a good idea, you divide the community and then the crazy racist idiots get forced into their own echo chamber where you know they'll never change their opinions. It makes long term sense on a site like reddit to keep them in.

yeah that pretty much became a running joke
ashens does it too but with toys and music :v:

But facebook has the opposite problem, they have no system in place to punish the numerous pages that repost other people's work with their own captions/watermarks. It's essentially the new ebaumsworld

Ebaumsworld? That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
There's only one way to destroy a site like that.
Start a new site like YTMND.

tbh I'd rather deal with something like youtubes bullshit, than facebooks bullshit
Facebook is also literally the worst with privacy
it's either one or the other. An automated report system, or literally no report system what so ever and also every video you've ever made will be reuploaded on some huge channel and there's nothing you can do about it.
Imagine if machinima never asked anyone to sign any contracts, and instead just ripped huge amounts of videos out of channels, put them on their own, and added their own watermarks, possibly even profiting off of it as well.
that actually happens on facebook
I can't monetize my shit, it's been in review for over 3 years.
