Fuck fraudulent takedown claims and fuck YouTube for protecting the assholes who file them while making it an absolute pain in the ass for creators to fight back against them.

No.

Not at all similar situations.  Nintendo owns their property and they request stuff be taken down.  This is someone pretending to be Bungie requesting Bungie property be taken down.

for the giant multimillion dollar corporation

I mean, have sympathy for the small content creators who were the main ones getting struck by this asshole in his bid to stir up a boogeyman for his own benefit.

Unlikely this will result in any change since YouTube isn’t a party to the suit.

I think you’re failing to distinguish between value and value proposition.

I was a 90s kid. When shaggy punched bugs bunny it felt like i got punched by corporate America. Fuck this whole thing so hard.

This comment is the argument ender.

Or maybe she means it in the way that nobody has ever really met John Krasinski because there’s nothing under the surface there. There’s nothing behind his eyes.

It was common even before COVID, but I feel like this writer is forgetting that MoM was one of the first Marvel movies to start filming during tight COVID restrictions.

Next you’re going to tell me Tig Notaro never met the cast of Army of the Dead.
