How did this guy do it?

What about the official help page stating the opposite? I still have no idea what makes you believe the # channels are managed by real people as you didn't elaborate on this although I asked for it. It's have to have a constructive conversation this way.

So do machine actually write description for those playlists and name them too?

Nope. The playlist skeleton is created by a human being but populated by algorithms.

Yup and his reaction edited video has passed 1 millions views! Guess he's better than us all here.

Yeah but you understand that if you edit together a bunch of clips you do not own the rights to and get a lot of views, it's not really any great thing to be proud of, right? I mean...I can take 'charlie bit my finger' and 'david after dentist' and a bunch of other peoples' compelling video clips and edit them together and get millions of views...that doesn't mean I'm better than anyone. It just means I'm a thief. There is a reason that his reaction video isn't monetized...because it isn't his content.

Also, I've seen that same video edit uploaded 3x so far by 3 separate channels on the same day. I agree with the people who say this is a bot channel. Judging by the title, lack of tags, lack of branding, and 99% copyrighted content being uploaded I'd say it's definitely a bot.[DOUBLEPOST=1434563465,1434561964][/DOUBLEPOST]Even if it's not a bot, anyone whose uploads are 95% stolen materials deserves no respect for anything.

Fake channel is fake and nothing but violations abound. Even the Socialblade view/sub spike then plummet is awfully suspicious..

How does this channel get away with using other people's content to monetize?

 

[XXLRay]

If the copyright holder doesn't know about the right violations there is nobody who could report him.

I got flagged upon uploading (by whatever software YT uses to detect copyright violations) a video with the TV on in the background. How can I dispute something like this in the future?

Don't get why anyone would ever want to bot views just don't get it.

That's the content ID system but only relatively few people are allowed to upload content to the database. So this guy may have found content that is not known to the system.

Just like you dispute any other invalid claim - by showing your broadcast permission.

 

[SteveP]

by showing your broadcast permission.

Can you explain this a little? The video in question featured my child dancing with music in the background. It was all of 3 seconds of a much longer video.
