I seriously hope an alternative to YouTube comes up at some point, because YouTube is eventually going to drive all content creators away. I know it's doubtful because of how big YouTube is, but still, it needs to happen, because YouTube's not going to clean up their shitty copyright system.

@Dylanius the Kirby Yes, they have a website, but that's not the point. YouTube has been doing this sort of shit to many, many channels recently. This is another example of YouTube fucking over another channel because their copyright system is so ungodly broken. Sure, TFS has a website, but many other people on YouTube don't. Remember I Hate Everything? He just went through the same thing recently. Without his channel, he doesn't have anywhere else to go. Luckily, he got his channel back. However, you can't expect the same for many others.

That's exactly why I said what I said. And don't even say something like "Oh, well that's their fault they don't have a website! Shouldn't have done what they did!" Not everyone has the money for something like that, nor does everyone have the coding skill and time for something like that. There are many, many people who make their money on YouTube; without YouTube, they won't really have any alternatives. It's because of how the copyright system is that you no longer see the kind of content you saw back when YouTube first came out. Creators now have to toe this line made by companies so closely that they're better off not even bothering because they're so hell-bent on taking down these channels for absolutely no valid reason. The videos they're making claims and strikes over almost always fall under Fair Use as well. For example, the Oxford Society or whatever is busy making copyright claims on videos about a certain debate that took place there over, ironically, censorship. All of the videos I saw that had claims made against them fell under Fair Use, yet they still got taken down. It's not right that they can do this with no repercussions, and it's not right that they can just take down channels freely even though the creators do their absolute best to make sure they follow the rules. If something isn't done about this, YouTube will meet the same fate Twitter will meet.
