@TeamYouTube do have an explanation on why you allow companies to Content ID claim Unlisted and Private videos? You can’t make money off of private or unlisted videos since they aren’t public and advertisers can’t find them, so why be able to autoclaim videos that can’t be seen?
I agree with your question and all, I'm curious too. But also, a counter argument has to be made: If your video isn't taken down, and no one is making money, and people are still able to watch it, then why does either party care?
