Not only it's 2025, so anyone still using YouTube(/Google/Alphabet) to make money is complicit with totalitarian extremists,

but this ContentID nonsense has been going on since at least 2009,

and we have had easy alternatives like PeerTube for several years now,

where they would have to actually go after him directly,

(and depending on jurisdiction, DMCA (screw that totalitarian extremist nonsense BTW) is more or less enforced),

rather than having YouTube do their censorship for them.
