my billie eilish “bad guy” video - my most popular video ever - was just completely removed from twitter by @UMPG. it’s just so funny how a video, where 100% of the content (both audio and video) was recorded in my own house, can get completely removed like this.

my video is also the most obvious example of a parody you could ever make (look up the definition of “parody” - it describes my video,) meaning it’s fully legal for me to make and upload without any permission from the copyright owner. another fun day as an online creator!

thankfully it’s still up on youtube, which might have to do with the fact they instantly copyright claimed it there, to then very compassionately share the revenue with me for all of the 24m views the video has so far, making them thousands of dollars. guess that wasn’t enough.

@YouTube @TeamYouTube, I ask again: when will you punish companies like @UMPG who abuse copyright claims and STEAL from your creators? This is horseshit and illegal.
