Hey @TeamYouTube I have a video with 2.7 million views that is "unavailable" to the public despite Studio still saying it's public and viewable worldwide. It's been this way for 2 days. What's going on?

I have an update, but it's not good news. as of this morning, I can no longer search for the video, and the thumbnail no longer loads. Still no word from YouTube, and still no indication in YouTube Studio of the video being taken down for any reason.

I have another update and it's even worse news. After tracking down the (very hidden) YouTube Creator Support live chat and asking a lot of questions, I have determined that it is in fact a copyright-claim-related takedown.

Apparently if you are a "copyright holder" you can take down a video without giving the uploader any indication or notification that you took it down or any details about who you are. So I know very little about what the claim is or who the claimant is or why it was taken down.

I'm gonna try contacting people who *might* know something about the claim. Kind of a long shot at this point but I'm gonna try my best. And again, if you want to watch/download the video, here's a link to the file:https://www.dropbox.com/s/lrfhtik93ismzar/This%20Will%20Destroy%20You%20%5B7-20-17%5D.mp4?dl=0 …
