I was sad to hear that @GiIvaSunner's channel was taken down today; though I don't follow it quite as much as I did in 2016 it was still nice to binge-listen to a bunch of rips. I think @YouTube is genuinely less fun today than it was yesterday. #HighQualityRIP
On that note, I wish @TeamYouTube would do more to stand up for its users against companies who abuse copyright law; because if a channel with 300k subscribers doing remixes of video game music strictly for fun can get taken down like this, what chance do the rest of us have?

I get that
@TeamYouTube has to take action in the heat of the moment, but in 10 years you haven't once pushed or lobbied to anyone about reforming America's broken & outdated copyright laws; you've done nothing but cave to the interests of billionaire companies again and again.Show this thread -
(at least as far as any of us on the outside know, anyways)

And this despite you,
@TeamYouTube, having the backing of a billion-dollar company of your own. This is why your platform is such a sad state of creative stagnation today - you can't play defence forever; just ask any pro sports team.Show this thread -
In any event, I'm sure the SiIvaGunner crew will be back; and when they are I'll definitely have to be more diligent in saving rips I like to listen to, just in case this happens yet again!
