Fair enough. I'm new to the site, so I'm unaware of what's commonly talked about on the forums. Though, I do believe my situation is unique in several different aspects.
As for what I think is the heart of the video, I honestly didn't see any of that in the original work. All I saw was a stomach, in a literal sense. The heart is something my own work developed. Something I transformed, a message I'm trying to show, that's not in the creator's work. As for there being ample reason to watch the original source, I have credited and linked in the description, since my video was uploaded. Ample reason's very debatable. In my opinion, my video would give ample reason, considering my audience isn't an audience that would ordinarily watch "food challenges". This would give them the creator's name, which I did mention, and an opportunity to see for themselves if my opinion is valid. I'm not claiming the original video as my own and stated so. I can't exactly claim anything can give ample reason to see the original source. It's the same argument with Let's Plays, whether or not these videos give the viewers an ample reason to play the games, themselves. It's personal audience preference.
As for criticism only typically be covered under short segments, I appreciate that acknowledgement. That gave me a little bit more insight into the matter. Unfortunately, it only asks more questions. In the case of a book or a movie, that's a much larger piece of content, rather than a six minute YouTube video. It would make more sense to quote a paragraph from a book, because a book generally has lots of paragraphs, but it would not make sense to criticize only a minute of a YouTube video, as that would not give substantial evidence to prove a point. But thank you for the new insight.

Couldn't miss on the opportunity to burn me, I see. But that's something I have to question, on it's own. I've already tried reaching out to the original content creator on multiple different platforms, politely, in regards to the copyright claim. I have not gotten any responses. You're kinda asking for the impossible here. It's not easy to reach out to bigger content creators on YouTube, who already are at a celebrity status and get hundreds of messages on multiple different platforms at once. As I've stated, I am small. I have no power, influence, credibility, or reason to be paid any heed to, other than randomly being drawn out of a hat to be responded to. There is absolutely no point in waiting and asking at this point as you can only wait so long as a YouTuber before you have to deliver content. You have to maintain a schedule. So, if you have advice on contacting busy, less-likely to respond YouTubers, I would love to hear it.
