A policy preventing Copyright owners from making $ on manual claims for:
Short song clips (ex: 5 sec of a song)
Unintentional audio (ex:
from passing cars)
Claimants can still block monetization or the video itself, but timestamps help you edit out the claim.
I think this is a short term solution for creators. When they realize YT stops paying attention or when these copyright trolls restructure, they may go "Then we both won't make money" (just out of principle)
