If it's a video of show, movie, etc then keep it unless it's in 1080p or higher and longer than 30 minute.
No DMCA, No banning, no bs.
It's more of a legal problem than a tech. If you were to design a company that didn't have to do anything youtube does and couldn't be blocked then what would you do?
Go host from another country, which?
Renounce citizenship?
I feel youtube is now all watered down version made for corporate TM, everyone else gets banned or demonitzed.
