YouTube at the moment
I am disgusted at what is going on at Youtube right now. In the last week, some of my favorite youtubers are getting slammed because they are under 500,000 and Youtube has ridiculous copywriter/fair use rules. I understand the concept, but this is just upsetting. Their channels are being taken down, de-monatized, and given copy write claims because of a faulty and irresponsible system.
Some of the youtubers affected right now:

IHE

Channel Awesome

Channel Awesome was hit by copywrite. If you don’t know what Channel Awesome is it is a channel that has thrived over 5 years between Youtubers and have over 300,000 subscribers. A huge channel taken down for spammed copywrite strikes with no information on how to resolve the problem at all is EXTREMELY infuriating.
And so many people are taking about it!

This whole situation is not being addressed by Youtube management and is hurting people’s hard earned content and even their living!
Some people rely on Youtube (a company!!) for income! How do you think full time Youtubers are getting by when their only source of income is torn down??? This is insane!
I wanted to bring this up on my blog because
a) This is getting out of hand
b)This could harm your channel too
If big channels like IHE and Channel Awesome are getting slammed unjustly, what do you think smaller channels will treated with??
Stay safe, Youtubers.
Learn Fair Use, Youtube.
