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.
Congratulations to YouTube for fixing a byproduct of a problem and not the problem itself. Fair use is still nonexistent on the platform and copyright owners can still block monetization of video.
