UPDATE: At the time of this comment Future Unity -- the channel that stole all my dog video -- HAS MADE ALL THE VIDEOS ON THEIR CHANNEL PRIVATE, TRYING TO WEATHER THE STORM. Thanks for watching, and thanks to Brandon at Viral DRM: viraldrm.com/ and the BBC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojjn9T_fuUw

Hiding dislikes was the biggest mistake YouTube made.
-
The video of floating an anvil in mercury that I made has got reuploaded countless times mostly cut short and with text saying how it supposedly disproves gravity. One on Facebook had over 60 million views and I think all together the views on those videos exceed the total number of views on my YouTube channel. I send copyright strikes when I find them but it's like playing wackomol.

Isn't it sad how any smaller creator uses a 2 second audio clip from an obscure movie from 1967 and a large company that owns the rights to the movie will claim all ad revenue immediately upon upload, but when the small content creator is being blatantly ripped off by scammers it takes a leg, a firstborn, and a nuclear holocaust of a small nation to get YouTube to act at all?
-
It's astounding to me that the music industry is so efficient at shutting down legitimate music analysis videos with small excerpts and yet people can simply rip off entire videos in other genres.
-
My dad is super affected by those channels. I love physics, mathematics, and quatum physics, so it really hurts my heart when my own dad says something insanely and actually impossible
-
I am aware of the weird blur box for the first minute of the video - I had to emergency blur something in that horrible email and YouTube added another one. Thankfully it didn't cover my hair. Thanks.
-
I used to watch Riddle videos to fall asleep, not realizing the damage that those channels are doing to the community. Thanks for speaking up and raising awareness of the negative impact and misinformation.
-
Kyle, thanks for taking this on. I was literally just yesterday talking about this with someone on my team. I've got to say it's maddening to see how much money these people are making from the work of others.
-
Its getting harder to parse science videos with text-to-speech and plagiarism flooding the results. Glad you did something serious about it.
-
I hate how strict youtube has gotten with things that shouldn't be restricted but they turn away from real problems like this. Edit: Also on a completely unrelated note, I hate how now whenever you search for something on youtube, you're bombarded with completely unrelated videos or videos you've already watched
-
The fake science channels p*ss me off. I'm glad someone is trying to do something about it.
-
Kyle you're an absolute Legend! You've really started something here... Let's Hope this get's YouTube's Attention!
-
Did anyone else notice this issue popped up when YouTube took our thumbs down button? It really helped us figure out which videos were not worth our time…
-
Youtube's failure to effectively moderate this spam is the reason why I almost exclusively stick to my subscription feed. YouTubs Shorts, in particular, are a cesspool of stolen videos and AI spam.
-
There was something like the 5 min crafts debunked by 'how to cook that' that went really deep into trying to link multiple channels together and reporting them. Her finding was that these channels all make Youtube tons and tons of money, so they're less inclined to take them down.
-
It's insane to me that the same copyright systems on YouTube are so broken that obvious spam and content theft is able to skirt around regulation while genuine creators can get their entire online presence eradicated by false claims.
-
Man, that channel that emailed Kyle was like "Oh, so you're mad at us for being a low-effort content farm? Well you should know that we're also horrible garbage humans as well."
-
After watching this, I've officially decided to grow my hair and beard out...for scientific reasons
-
This is so needed, thanks for starting this intervention on scientific content from these horrible thieves and those who would promote misinformation. I’ve been noticing this for years too and I’m so glad so many others have too and realize the harm it can do on so many levels.
